i love cosplay too for the exact same reasons. All this dedication, time and effort they put to make these costumes to go for a few hours in a event is amazing. The majority of them are people who love what they are doing and that's pretty fascinating to my eyes.

Imagine that 20 years ago and more, all those people were considered lame,boring, geeks & nerds with the negative meaning and now everything turned around!

I'll go watch some anime :P
