Japanese cosplay has only recently become popular in the US


Japanese cosplay has only recently become popular in the US, boasting some 20,000+ individuals of every race, creed, and color. Yet Western cosplay does deviate from Japanese cosplay in that there's masques (masquerades), cosplay competitions that occur at conventions where cosplayers will display their costume(s) for judging and/or perform a skit on stage by themselves or with others. Prizes consisting of money, dvds, etc. are offered to the winners, varying on the category of difficulty the cosplayer entered. Many cosplayers also attend conventions for panels on various topics, Cosplay Chess (Human Chess in cosplay), and the Anime Dating Game. Japanese cosplay has even become common at movie theaters on opening nights for popular science fiction and fastasy films (like Lord of the Rings and The Matrix).

popularity of cosplay customes in the US

popularity of cosplay customes in the US is no doubt that this trend originated from the land of the rising sun, especially when people see the Tokyo Game Show on G4, but my opinion on why there is an explosion of popularity of cosplay customes in the US this trend is.... well, they don't just want to be themselves, but rather an expansion of themselves in an alternate reality, which isn't really all that bad. Escape is very much needed in today's society, and in all actuality, all of us need to join into this trend at one time in our lives, and that's what makes this trend so popular: the need to escape from ourselves and be something else. In brief terms, cos-play is so popular because people have a need to get away from themselves and have a little fun before going back to real life

The beautiful cosplay costumes taiwanese girls looks great, and there’s something a bit kinky about it. Really. No matter how you look, I think that with The beautiful cosplay costumes taiwanese girls you’d look better, and if you’re a girl there’s a good chance you’d look a bit sexier, or cuter, and I know girls know that. I have a confirmed suspicion that some girls in the event were not that into their characters as they were into dressing up and posing for the camera.
