....So I found pics today of people cosplaying AKB0048. As in, the AKB0048 version of senbatsu members.
What doubly weirded me out was that they were both Mayu cosplays, but without any indication of any sort of cyborg-ness. So the only different then is that 0048-Mayu has blue hair...
Just seems odd that they would specify 0048 versions of real-life people, and not doing the one aspect only the anime version would have, the robotic parts.
Other members I could understand, like Acchan or Takamina, since their anime versions were distinguished from their real-life counterparts. But Mayu, Sayaka, Tomochin, and Yukirin are just about the same.
