You probably woke up this morning wondering what to wear for today. If you are irked with this everyday routine, consider yourself lucky because there are some people really take this stuff on a higher level. Instead of wondering what to wear, they wonder who they’ll be today. Sounds confusing, right? Welcome to the worlds of Cosplay.

Admit it, at one point in your life you might have had imagined yourself as a cartoon or anime character. Like being part of the Vocaloids or becoming Zero from Code Guess and have the power over peoples will. This is actually the first step in Cosplay. Cosplay is a term referring to the art wherein people try to “mimic” their favorite cartoon or anime characters. It is considered a performance art born out of the combination of fashion design, role playing and costume party. The choices are basically endless for these enthusiasts and their determination is very admirable at the very least.

Cosplaying is fun and one of the best ways to meet other people with the same hobby and be friends with them. Like in Japan, teens usually go out on the street with their costumes and some would go to places and strike poses with their characters based on the anime and in manga. It is also an art. No doubt about that. Unlike before when cosplayers were seen as geeks, the modern world now sees them as indomitable enthusiasts with a fervent love for their art.

So if you were given a chance to don a costume, who would you want to be?
