Halloween is just around the corner, meaning it’s time to put on our Halloween costumes and go trick-or-treating~ In honor of the season, a survey was held to figure out which anime characters fans most want to cosplay, and here's the ladies' edition!
For this survey, 123 people were polled with 44% being men, and 56% being women. Roughly half of those polled were 19 or younger, and fans in their 20s represented around 30%.
With that in mind, come see if your favorite character or even your own Halloween plans made it on the list! There were quite a few ties, including 5 names appearing in 8th place, so a total of 12 characters are featured!
