Wow, a lot of mixed opinion. As a photographer, i look at cosplay as a subject myself, I mean, to me, I was in heaven when I was in Harajuku and Akiba, simply because there are so many "things" that I can take a picture of. Its a real challenge to take good picture of cosplayer.

But outside of photography, as suggested by some, I look at it as almost something ridiculous

MMM, if I am remember correctly and according to relatives in Japan, the Otakus are somewhat a target of discrimination in Japan am I right?
