Cosplay and Conventions


Many people are fond of something called cosplay. Cosplaying is dressing up, like in a costume. These people who cosplay are sometimes called "otaku". Most people dress like a character from Naruto or Bleach, the most popular action animes around. When people are dressed in cosplay, they usualy tend to act out the part of that character, if they are true Otaku. It's hard to make a good costume, mostly for the more complicated anime outfits.

There are many cosplay outfits out there- and even conventions. Anime conventions are called "anime cons" for short, and it's not surprising to me that hundreds of people come to these conventions. Some of these conventions have contests, for those who have made their own costume. Most anime conventions are held in Japan, where anime was born. A few of these conventions are Naka-Kon, Mizuumi-Con, and Anime Land Wasabi. The up coming conventions for these are actually in places like Colorado, Missouri, and even Texas. All across the world, anime cosplay is popular. This meaning Anime and Cosplay conventions are popular. At these conventions, there are sometimes the celebrities who speak the voices of the anime characters. The most popular of these english Vocal talents is Vic Mignogna. It's also exciting to meet someone who speaks the voice of an anime character is just like meeting a singer or an actor, an amazing feeling of excitement.
