Costumes

Well, you’ve probably seen some cosplay over the years that is downright ugly, wrong or just plain awkward. Add scary to the list, because ‘kigurumi’ cosplay is becoming more and more popular in America. Kigurumi cosplay is when someone wears a strange mask to accompany their cosplay costume, turning them into a kind of walking doll.

I think that the masks used in kigurumi take the personal element out of cosplay, covering the cosplayers face and taking the fan out of the equation. It gives anime fans too much of a cult-like enthusiasm for the cartoon..imagine 20 years form now, whole conventions of kigurumi cosplayers.

What do you think about Kigurumi?
