One of the best parts of attending a comic book convention is watching all of the people who come dressed as their favorite characters from comics, cartoons, anime, and movies. Many of the homemade costumes are good enough to rival some designs from big budget Hollywood films, while other designs are, well, definitely homemade. Still, they are all entertaining to see. Some of the most well made costumes come from the folks who are dressing up as anime characters. They really get into it, and make sure to get even the tiniest details right, all the way down to the type of scabbard to use with their anime swords. The people who dress up as comic characters usually do a good job as well, and really get into character. While I certainly don’t have any inclination to dress up, I am glad there are people that do! It makes the conventions all the more entertaining.
