even she thought her costume was a good idea.
Back on the subject, people cosplay for various, individual reason, but the blanket reason seems to have been stated already: it's fun to do. For Americans (for those are the only people I can really speak for), it's like another Halloween, where instead of candy you get your picture taken. This, of course, leads to half-assed cosplay like the photo's above and the one below:
For me, wearing the coat's fine enough, even though my friends were egging me to dye my hair blonde. More or less though, it's a way to express your like for your hobby.
What I do know though is that the Japanese have a
very different way of looking at Cosplay, and you'd have to do a good amount of digging to see it. Of course, there is nearly no bad cosplayers over there, which explains their difference in opinion on the subject.
