Boos and ghouls, Halloween 2023 is fast approaching! That can only mean one thing: it’s time to decide on a costume!
Halloween is the best time for anime lovers to pay respect to their favorite episodes and characters. Additionally, it’s a fantastic way for you to reuse cosplays from your previous convention!
But don’t worry if you haven’t yet prepared anything. To get you anime-ready, we’ve put together a collection of simple costumes and cosplay suggestions. Did we mention that these also make fantastic group costumes? Read till the end to know all about our anime cosplay ideas.
Anime Cosplay Ideas
Halloween and Anime go too close together, with the number of fans doubling by the hour. If you have an anime theme in mind but don’t know which to go with, here are the top 10 anime cosplay ideas that could sort all your Halloween plans.
Sailor Moon
We all recognize her as Sailor Moon, the one and only who battles evil by moonlight and triumphs in love by day. Be sure to look at her outfit if you think the Sailor Senshi’s beautiful leader is your favorite. To complete the image, accessorize with her distinctive blonde hairstyle.
Difficulty: Low
Makoto
Makoto, a tomboy, is always there for her friends, and you can be too! On Amazon, look for her green Sailor Senshi suit! You can also purchase those savage boots and a ponytail wig to match, if necessary. If you accessorize with adorable blue bobbles, you receive bonus points!
Add her crimson Sailor Senshi transformation dress to your order if the fiery Rei better suits the look you are going for. Additionally available are these stylish low-heel pumps and a matching wig!
Difficulty: Low
Ruby Rose
Ruby Rose, the main character in RWBY, received hunting instruction at Beacon Academy. She would go on to battle the Creatures of Grimm who terrorize the Remnant planet.
She is a member of team RWBY along with Weiss, Blake, and Yang, who are her pals. Ruby’s gorgeous red, black, and rose-adorned attire makes for excellent female anime cosplay. This is another of the easy anime cosplay ideas. The entire outfit is available for purchase online. The wig could require a little additional styling.
The outfit calls for a leather skirt, styled boots, and a corset over a white shirt, so it doesn’t require much in the way of imagination or money, but the scythe will require a lot more work.
Difficulty: Low
Goku
The star of the popular anime series Dragon Ball Z is Goku. Being a fighter with a pure heart, he is one of anime history’s most significant figures. Goku was sent to Earth from planet Vegeta and is a member of the Saiyan species. He has won the hearts of many spectators with his courageous demeanor and Drip Goku style, providing them with significant fashion aspirations.
Don’t hold back if Goku’s recognizable style has an impact on you as well. Cosplaying as Goku can be thrilling and enjoyable for displaying your enthusiasm for the character.
To get the perfect Goku appearance, wear a Goku Drip jacket and style your hair with spiky bangs. You’re going to dominate the cosplay like no one else. We bet!
Difficulty: Depends on how hardcore you want to go.
Pikachu
The most well-known Pokemon of all time is Pikachu, an electric-type Pokemon that was first released in Generation I. Because they are essentially a cosplayer’s own version of what a Pokemon would appear like in human form, Pokemon cosplays are always incredibly interesting. Now we know Ryan Reynolds is the human form, no questions asked!
We were drawn to this laid-back cosplay by thegreatpretendercosplay because it looks so cozy while maintaining Pikachu’s cheeky, mischievous personality! This cosplay is rated as medium-level difficult. Adding features to the outfit requires some sewing expertise. You’ve got to catch them all, just like the song says, so grab your gear online!
Difficulty: Medium
Luna
While we are at it, why not honor the cutest cats around? Cat costumes are typically popular during this time of year. You can wear a full-body leotard with black cat ears for Luna! Consider a white leotard with white cat ears as a substitute for Artemis and think along similar lines. If you want some added oomph, add some glittery temporary tattoos.
Difficulty: Low
Ken Kaneki
What other costume option is better than Ken Kaneki (if you adore the show)? Put on his clothes and a look-alike white wig, and you may be the star of Halloween night!
Difficulty: Low
Madoka Magica
The main character of the anime Madoka Magica was a middle school girl before she was abruptly introduced to the magical realm. She was given the opportunity to become a magical girl, which she embraced.
This cosplay is challenging because of the detailed design of Madoka’s outfit, her weapon, the Rose Branch Bow, and the necessary wig styling.
Difficulty: High
Deku
Deku was not born with a quirk (superpowers) in a world full of heroes. He doesn’t have any quirks, yet a legendary hero recognizes something special in him and chooses to enroll him at a prestigious hero academy.
He is a great illustration of a character with several costumes. Deku’s Beta costume, which is simpler than his school uniform, is the one we’ve decided to spotlight. Additionally, it’s simpler to put together. All you need are boots, a crimson tie, and a grey school blazer.
Difficulty: Low to Medium
Asuna
In the MMORPG Sword Art Online, Asuna is a sub-leader of the guild Knights of the Blood Oath and the series’ protagonist. She is a powerful fighter with the moniker “The Flash” and is famed for her prowess with a blade. Asuna was one of the 10,000 players locked in Sword Art Online, the idea, not the anime.
She is a popular choice for cosplay because of how well-liked she is as a character, and it is quite simple to obtain everything you need online, including a pre-styled wig. Despite initially being nothing more than a healer, she is renowned for being gentle and caring but also terrifyingly scary in battle, storming into the fray with nothing but a rapier.
Difficulty: Low

Natsu Dragneel
The protagonist of the anime Fairy Tale is Natsu Dragneel. He is a Fairy Tale Guild mage who underwent training to kill dragons.
Even though this cosplay isn’t as intricately designed as some of the others on our list, some of the costume’s components may need some simple stitching to achieve the desired effect (removing a sleeve to create a sleeveless arm, for example).
Consider Minerva Orland as well if you’re a passionate Fairy Tale fan looking for more simple anime cosplay ideas. However, you might need to put a little extra effort into your costume and method of acting in order to portray this memorable villain.
Additionally, dressing like Natsu requires more than just a costume; are you prepared to assume the role of a young, gifted magician going on an adventure?
Difficulty: Medium
Wrapping Up
For cosplayers who prefer to make their own costumes, we’ve added a difficulty rating and a full costume with each cosplay in this guide. The time and expertise required to modify or make an item are the basis for this ranking. Remember that you won’t be able to exactly duplicate the cosplayer’s costume with the resources listed below. They are just to get you started.
Also, remember that making your costumes will involve more than a little technical know-how. Doesn’t matter if we are talking about knitting from scratch, patching together clothes, or learning how to bend plastic to make armor. Our anime costume ideas are sure to get your creativity flowing.
