Dressing up as an anime character.Mostly,asian girls do this.Why are caucasians trying so hard to cosplay?Its embarassing 'cause im white and I'd rather dress up as goth than cosplay as an anime character.First of all,caucasian cosplayers are fat but even the skinny ones doesn't look good in cosplay outfits.Anime characters doesn'thave narrow,unwrinkled,unfreckled and quite fair (but not pale) skin and they don't have the big pointy nose too.Asian cosplayers have wide,smooth,younger-looking skin.They have almond shaped eyes.I don't know why caucasians kept saying that they are better in cosplay than asian people.They say that anime characters have big eyes,yes they do but their eyes are still shaped like asian eyes..This is why caucasian cosplayers but eyeliners and get rid of their crease right?Anime characters don't look caucasian at all.The characters they thought look like caucasians have shiny,straight yellow (not wavy,dry blonde) hair.I mean what's wrong with that?They have characters that have pink,green and other unbelieveable hair colors right?And also,the blue eyes..other characters have different eye colors even red!So why do people kept saying that they look caucasian?If they do,how come asian people do better in cosplay?Come on people lets just leave the asians in anime/cosplay.I mean,at least were better than asians in punk/emo/goth/halloween outfits!
John:I love asian cosplayers!
Michael:Yeah,but i love caucasian goths!
PEACE!

Costume Play
Cosplay is for fun and it doesn't matter how you look like. Don't judge other cosplayers!

Cosplay is an abbreviation of "costume-play". The term refers to dressing up as an anime/manga/game character.
Cosplay is a popular hobby of teen-aged girls in Japan, and is also prominent amongst anime fans worldwide. Sometimes, cosplays can be very good; with a well-crafted, well-fitting costume that looks like its original reference. Such cosplays often require hours of hard work, and considerable seing talent.
Other times, cosplays can be horrendous; especially when fat, balding, middle-aged men decide to cosplay as Sailor Moon, or when a costume really doesn't fit the wearer.
Shizuka likes to cosplay as characters from different anime series on weekends.
"Aww, man! That fat dude dressed up as Sailor V. over there really shouldn't cosplay!"

Cosplay-

The act of gathering raw and ready made materials to create a 3D object from a 2Dreference.

Cosplay are referenced from not just Japanese anime or manga but from video games and even american comics.

Cosplay can be anything from weapons to clothes to even automotives or animals.

The skills required to complete a finished "Cosplay" include anything from: sewing, woodcraft, knitting, sculpting, metal working, painting, fabric dying, hair styling etc.

A large component of cosplay is the understanding of composition and proportion so that the costume will look correct on yourself as it does the character you are trying to emulate.
