Really, really inspiring! Great video, and overall very enlightening
(If that made any sense at all xD) Anyway, I’m so happy to see so many adults into cosplay. My top fear is growing to old to cosplay the characters I love! Really awesome documentary 
I’ve watched this three times. Can I be besties with Soo?
This documentary is real and well put together, I recommend on getting a panel for an anime convention and showcasing this, I’m sure others would appreciate it as-well. I congratulate you and making such a great documentary, you did a phenomenal job!
I love documentaries and I’ve seen so many of them, but this by far has to be one of my favorites. I’ve always wanted somebody to make a documentary revolving around cosplay, because it truly is a life-style. I could not help but smile every now and then because the fun that we all have is so pure and fulfilling. Thank you so much for making this documentary, it is such a refreshing reminder to those who do cosplay and a new perspective for those who don’t.
With all the “fake geek girl” drama and “cosplay =/ consent” drama in the community lately this is SOOOO nice to remind us WHY most of us started cosplaying. Thank you sooooo much for making this.
this is fantastic!
No problem
Umm, the characters I was thinking of were Lelouch Lamperouge & Suzaku Kururugi [Code Geass], Setsuna F. Seiei & Tieria Erde [Gundam 00], and Yurippe [from Angel Beats]. I admire how individualistic these characters are in how they’re prepared to stand alone for the sake of their ideals, even in the face of rejection or being misunderstood by most others. Yet, they can still be deeply sensitive, considerate, & even sentimental (yes, even Setsuna, lol). I understand these qualities.
Thanks for being in the film, Silent Bob!! I still get a kick out of those people who were seriously thought you were “the real one”. =)
Thanks! Glad you felt that the film was an accurate portrayal of cosplaying. What characters do you identify with?
Great Documentary!! What I loved most was that the opinions expressed were all very positive and emphasized the fun in this hobby, as well as the fact that many cosplayers really do see cosplay as a form of Identification that goes deeper than just crafting/wearing an outfit. I mean, ultimately everyone cosplays for their own reasons, but it makes me really happy that the ‘identifying with the character’ reason is acknowledged here
cause personally, that’s my biggest motivation to cosplay.
Hey, I’m the bald girl Aang in the orange toga (from The Last Airbender series) at 28:09. I did a complete double-take, didn’t realize I’d be in this documentary! Can’t wait for AN 2013!
There I AM. @ 29min in. Yay!
awesome video! awesome work!
hahaha!! 44:52 i said the samething to my family who saw me starting out cosplaying “i could be spending my paycheck on drugs”
I nearly just had a heart attack when I saw myself and my boyfriend as Katara and Aang at the Avatar photoshoot XD

Great documentary! It’s great ’cause I’m sitting here working on my cosplay for Anime Central in May. XD I’m still new to the scene and only fully cosplayed once but I really wanna get more into it. This really portrayed the concept of cosplaying beautifully.
