Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Since I'm old I'll put it this way:
That's where weird people dress up in (COS)tume (Play)ing like their favorite Japanese Animation (Anime) characters and inflict it upon the unsuspecting public.

Hey there, @nastalam!

Anime cosplay is short for “anime costume play.” This is when people dress up like their favorite anime characters, or even dress up as if they “are” their own favorite anime (mostly Japanese) character. These characters, with the general cosplay meaning, may have been taken from manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games and fantasy movies. The term was introduced by Nobuyuki Takahashi in 1984.

Many times in a year, a group of anime fanatics (called otaku in Japanese) would come together in one place, and they would wear their favorite anime character’s costumes and act out as one. Cosplay is not just role play, but in reality a gathering of ideas, talents and personalities.

Cosplay has invaded a lot of places and culture. Anywhere in the world, there’s a good chance that you would find cosplayers as it has blended with different cultures in the world.
