Cosplay Dress Up Game Help
I have been commissioned to make a cosplay dress up game. I need help deciding which characters to include in it. I am already doing Aisaka Taiga from Toradora. I need four more. So please pick 4 that you think I should include in the game.

Haruhi - Slice-of-life about a girl who has some sort of god-like powers to control the world around her and doesn't realize it. Slice-of-life because it's set in a high school environment and mostly focuses around the club she develops and the activities they partake in. Damn popular, cosplayed to death, and nearly every con has a large group of people somewhere dancing the ending dance.
Chobits - Mixes elements of sci-fi, slice-of-life, and harem genres in a way that only CLAMP can pull off. Humans have developed robotic computers that look pretty much like any other girl. Boy chances across one tossed out in an alley and decides to keep it. Turns out it is a sort of supercomputer whose origins are shrouded in mystery even to itself. While dealing with this, boy still has to study for college entrance exams. Etc etc, also insanely popular although not as much as it once was. You still see a Chi or two at most conventions.
Maria Holic - Sporadic and random harem anime with the twist that the main character is a relatively perverted lesbian rather than a perverted straight guy. Oh, and the title character's a guy who cross-dresses to attend a girls-only school. Wacky hijinks ensue. Pretty widely regarded to be the best of the current season's new anime, and watched by most everyone who keeps up with anime as it's being released.
CCS - Mahou shoujo following a girl who must collect mystic cards that contain powerful monsters lest they wreak havoc on the world. Pretty much everyone has at least seen a few episodes of the bastardized American broadcast version.
Lucky Star - Slice-of-life following a group of high school friends as they contemplate various facets of life through mostly idle chatter. Some love it, others despise it, everyone knows about it. Attained high notoriety mainly for a female otaku lead who also happens to be both female and moe.
Eva - Shounen mecha anime that redefined the entire genre by supplanting the standard invulnerable hero figure with a very human character being forced by circumstances to attempt to fill the hero role against his will. It's also a series that never dies, in that it's been years since it was released stateside and people STILL constantly discuss it at conventions and there are STILL cosplayers for it at almost every convention.
Kujibiki Unbalance - Spinoff series that started as a gag series within Genshiken (itself a slice-of-life focusing around otaku culture by way of a college club) that parodies elements of most stereotypical genres of anime. The character Robyn picked is probably the most recognizable character in the entire Genshiken-verse. Probably not as popular as the ones that came before it on this list, but still very popular amongst anime fans.
Pani Poni Dash - Very random comedy anime centering around a child genius (MIT grad) from the US attempting to teach high school in Japan. Amusement ensues. One of the less well-known anime on the list, yet still well-known enough to be utilized as common footage in many comedy AMVs, including the AMV Hell series. Quite possibly better known for its parody of Star Trek then for the show itself.
DiGi Charat - Children's comedy series that began as a series of advertisement for the Gamers chain of videogame stores in Japan. It focuses around the life of the store's mascot who works at a Gamers in exchange for a room above the store (since she needed a place to live after she came to Earth and such...). Something pretty much everyone has seen at least in passing.
Hidamari Sketch - I havn't seen enough of it to figure out exactly what genre it falls into, but it seems to combine slice-of-life with some random sporadic comedy. Don't know that much about it, and it's definitely NOT one of the more popular series out there.
Binchou-tan - I've only heard of this in passing and know nothing about it. Except that many people on 4chan seem to like it. It looks to be very moe.
Animal Yokocho - Children's comedy centering around a girl who has a bunch of plushie-type animal friends from a parallel world in her room, or something. Highly amusing, but also not well known.
Well, 8/12 being extremely popular's a pretty good ratio, ne?
