What do you think of cosplay?

Supportive! It's a fun, creative hobby. Geeks are the funnest people I know, and the most interesting besides that. Making a costume and modeling it doesn't seem that weird to me, but maybe because I'm into art and I like sewing clothes.

If it's "bedroom" cosply, fine.

If you're talking about those idiots who dress like cartoon characters, in public? It's sad and childish.

It's awesome. Love it!

I think it's weird and infantile. But each to his (and her) own...

Everybody needs a hobby, I guess...

SUGOI! ("WICKED COOL!")

Everyone has their own things they like to do. If you enjoy dressing up like your favorite characters then keep on doing it.

Harmless fun.

A more interesting question is what to think of rabid cosplay haters.

I was involved in similar activities in America, but it included plots, character development and battles, and not just making and wearing costumes. That is where I criticize cosplay. It just feels to me like somethings are seriously missing and if the participants don't feel bored after a short time, THEY SHOULD. Its like dressing up for a Shakespearian play, but there is no stage, no reciting of lines and no acting. Its only a step away from being a brain-dead activity.

Just like Halloween. A bit of good clean fun.

lol you find some of the hottest nerdiest chicks cosplaying its awesome!

And especially this :-)

I don't do it but have no problems with a bit of fun. The Jidai Matsuri in Kyoto is kind of similar?
