Posted by eradinn on 27 Apr 2007 | 0 comments It's perfectly possible to argue that anime fans are mad; just look at some of the wierd things we seem to do. Is that really the case, though?

Cosplay: - costume playing.
Dressing up as anime and manga characters. Cosplay competitions held at conventions allow fans (known as 'cosplayers') dress up as their favourite characters, pose for pictures and win prizes. Hardcore fans can treat cosplay very seriously, sometimes spending months making their costumes. In Japan Cosplay Cafés - where the staff (and occasionally the visitors) dress up as anime and manga characters - are quite popular too, and many merchandise companies have twigged that making replica costumes and accessories for cosplayers is a useful source of extra income. Pronounced 'coz-play'.

People may think all this freaky stuff was some kind of japanese thing but it actually originate in the United States. Then triggered by a japanese journalist at a sci-fi convention in 1984. The japanese pick it up, and now they've made a subject that most anime fans are familiar with, Cosplay

Cosplay are pretty cool in some ways. *thinks dirty* It's also a good way to show off your creativity and some costumes that people make are amazing.
Being interested in this subject i might be considering having a cosplay of the week displaying an image that best imitates a character from any anime or game.

Here is one good example.
A picture of Riku, from Kingom Hearts (hm, is that a girl?)
