What is Cosplay?

[ThiefShipperChick]

My mom is like how she said her mom was in the begining. I love cosplaying but when I do it has to be casual cosplay or my mom freaks. I love this video!

[Proud2Bstrange]

SACANIME FOR THE WIN! <3

[SexyZexyHeartsXiggy]

This is so awesome! I saw a few of my friends in this. I'm going to show this to my parents whenever they question me about my love of SacAnime and cosplay.

[DianaLovesTacos]

i must go O:

[SusannaDee]

Pity I have such trouble understanding what that young woman is saying

[boring12343]

I'm a really shy person when I'm in public or if I'm with a group of friends, but when I cosplay, I feel like I'm more open about who I actually am.

When I cosplay I love every second of it.

[ShadowMaskTheCat]

:3 my first cosplay was at Anime Crossroads in Indiana as Russia from Hetalia...i cant wait to go to my next con! this mini documentary is just awesome :)

[butters1800]

russias in this video..... I approve. <3

[sweetpea12113]

I think that cosplaying is awesome and i finally am aloud to go to a cosplay event with my friends and i hope to have a lot of fun :)

[JonTonify]

I love this video. I am interested in cosplaying as a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I would love to cosplay with someone like this.

[GardBreaker]

Screw anime cosplay! Masyaf assassins FTW!

[DarkLeonUK]

when i saw the title i thought 'baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more'

[Apocalypsedetonator]

Gonna be doing my first cosplay at A-Kon this summer. Me and 8 friends are going as the red team from tf2. We're working on my engie outfit this weekend ^_^ . Only thing that could make it more awesome is if another group of people go as blue team.

[126shyhinata]

i love anime and i love cosplaying but im scared of people and am afraid to cosplay in public im also afraid of being alone so i dont just want to be a wall flower i want to go to an anime convention but im scared that ill be miserable with all the people and no one to talk to where i live their arnt many people into anime cuz every1 would rather hunt so i cant take people with me what should i do?!?!?!

[OtakuInTraining123]

true words of wisdom ^^

[ereon6]

Helps when you're drop dead GORGEOUS

[NghtMair]

Im loving all the positive feedback we are getting =D thanx for your support guys!

[TheXand19]

I still think it's a little weird. But then I don't even dress up for Halloween, so make of my opinion what you will.

[nyditch]

This is a really nice mini cosplay documentary, and I feel honored that you asked my friends and I to be a part of it. This is what it's about. It's fun and we meet lots of other people who have similar interests. Also, being a generally shy person, the costumes are a great ice breaker for conversation. It's really a great opportunity to express yourself in ways that you wouldn't have otherwise, and have a blast doing it.

[itstheKT]

@nyditch Exactly! Thank you for letting us film you. I can't tell from your youtube name on which cosplayer you were, can you remind us? Thanks!

[CrashShinoda]

This video is outstanding and truly inspiring. It realy captures the true essence of cosplay and it gives such a good support for every cosplayer out there. This is exactly what every one of us needs to see and hear, but even the haters could learn a thing or two from it. Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake, and that is cosplay! Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful video and support!

[itstheKT]

@CrashShinoda Aww thanks so much! We were all really hoping to spread positive word about Cosplay, thanks for letting us know we are helping in that goal!

[fslayer1290]

Well Said! 

[VinceValentine]

Ask Dracula from Castlevania what Cosplay is. Or the Medic from TF2. Go ahead, I dare you.

[mikukip]

I really REALLY want to try cosplaying.

But my mom thinks it's so weird, so she won't buy me costumes.. And I'm too young to buy it on my own. (I'm 14)..8C

[VinceValentine]

@mikukip Learn to sew. And tell your mum that it's like Halloween, only less scary.

..or more scary, when you come across those male Sailor Moon cosplayers.

[AngelusDlion]

Now do one on fursuiting.. :P

[Hobo84foryou]

@AngelusDlion Honestly, it's probably a very similar set of ideas as what they say here in this video. I can understand at least somewhat why people would fursuit. It lets them be something different for a while, in the case of fursonas usually that's a character you designed to be the "perfect you" that you see in your mind. In those suits you're at least somewhat "anonymous" despite being instantly recognizable. It's like interactions on the internet, only in real life.

[Deshatar]

"Just love everybody and everybody loves you back"

Nice quote, but truth is, its not that like most of the time.

I dont know how its in the USA or other countries, but if you enter a con in germany with a cosplay many other cosplayers will think "crappy costume..."

[bhelliom3]

@Deshatar Judgment is inevitable in any situation, especially those where clothing are involved and are the basis of the event. It happens in any country.

[archangel777]

Chick with the blue wig talking was kinda cute.

[soneric913]

boku no nakama da !!! ~

[PJSproductions97]

That one Vaati costume was awesome. also that blu scout playing wii was good.

[proscriptus]

That's beautiful.

[XXsilvermoon]

I started Cosplaying since Freshman year too, and I love it!

Even if I took a break from it for a while, I got back in it. I hardly go to panels at conventions and usually just walk around with my friends and look at what other people decided to wear and the different characters and such, and hang out in the Dealers room and of course the Artist Alley. My parents never heard of it, then when my dad took me to a convention once, he loved bringing me to them because of the costumes Lol

[FlubberGamez]

I came here from Roberto Alonso's Post on FB

[Nosondakar]

I wanna cosplay Iorveth

[abayarts]

dude, i posted it on our facebook page at facebook/ArtisticAlliance

[itstheKT]

@abayarts Thank you for the support! 

[7daisy13]

Oh! I'm the Sakine Meiko at 0:55! xD

[itstheKT]

@7daisy13 No way! That's so cool! I was going to run up to you and grab a few shots, however we were pressed for time. Glad you made it in the video tho! :D

[xsv1ninja]

that's me in 1:30

I took a lot of pictures....

wait... why the hell didn't i take any video?

[itstheKT]

@xsv1ninja lol!

[ArtisticAlliance]

I have to say that's a very well made doc.

"just have fun in it and don't judge anybody"

:)

[TheForeignCreed]

Assassin's Cancan line~

We were in that. XD

but this video sends a great message to people who have a weird idea about cosplay and cons.

[itstheKT]

@TheForeignCreed Exactly! Thanks for being in the video and helping us out with that shot. :)

[aliruth1]

Greatest Canti ever!

[SB0083]

Wow, a nice Eureka cosplay!

[JayTigris]

That was a really good video. It captures the essence and leaves out all the nasty stuff people usually like to dig up. ^^;; *thumbs up*

[itstheKT]

@JayTigris Thank you! The idea was to create a video "tool" for Cosplayers to use as a way to help explain what Cosplay really is. We all know that only like 5% of Con's have that weird stuff in it, most people blow it up to more than it is tho. You said exactly what we were hoping to hear. 8)

[Rythalion]

Lovely video! Well done!

[xXAliceOfTheRoseXx]

Charmie is the best. <3

[Amazingbigsister]
