Anime girls with long curly brown hair and bangs.
I need a cosplay costume that doesn't require altering my hair.

desu spamming is alright but her costume is too complicated for me to finish in time, so try to find me something else k?

Curly? That's a tough stretch, there's VERY VERY few curly haired characters seeing as how it's difficult to animate.

Here's a link from Animenation about exactly what you're asking.

I never bought that explanation, especially on oldskool shows like Nadia. Yeah, giving her a 'fro would've been such a hassle.

Anime hair's one of my peeves; I actually think that hair's become a bigger giveaway than eyes that a character is from Japan.

I don't understand what you mean, that you don't like the explanation that it's difficult to animate because some companies did in the past? Or are you saying that it's because Japanese people don't like drawing foreigners with curly hair?

With only about half a dozen characters ever having curly hair what do you feel is the reason?

I'm not going to speculate on the motives of thousands of separate artists spanning decades as if they were a single person. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons, from simple preference to copying of style to occasional overt racism, but I'm not going to treat people as one homogeneous unit.

I'm simply saying that the "curly hair is hard to animate" excuse is pure bullshit, no more, no less.

To me it is the most logical explanation and I don't understand why you disagree. We never saw much difference in hairstyles until the last few years when computer assisted animation came into being. Prior to that only big budget animation productions had anything other than the equivalent of unmoving plastic doll hair, Claudia included

Seriously? So why hasn't curlless hair been the norm for cartoons anywhere else on the planet?

Its also rather nice of all those manga artists to avoid designing characters with curls. Good thing they're thinking ahead in the hopes that their stuff gets picked up, that they're thoughtful enough to be kind to the animators. Good artistic integrity and all.

I do not believe that it is an issue being hard to animate. It is more like likely that the creator did want any implications that the character was a delinquent.

Back to the topic at hand, I can not think of many characters with curly hair matching the description, but I do not see why you could not go as Horo, but I suppose that depends on how curly your hair is.
