Cosplay-
The act of gathering raw and ready made materials to create a 3D object from a 2Dreference.
Cosplay are referenced from not just Japanese anime or manga but from video games and even american comics.
Cosplay can be anything from weapons to clothes to even automotives or animals.
The skills required to complete a finished "Cosplay" include anything from: sewing, woodcraft, knitting, sculpting, metal working, painting, fabric dying, hair styling etc.
A large component of cosplay is the understanding of composition and proportion so that the costume will look correct on yourself as it does the character you are trying to emulate.

Abbreviated for Costume Play
Mostly used for Anime and Comic fans that like to dress up as their favorite characters and go to conventions or other themed events. The costumes are usually home made and will include all the accessories the characters has (weapons, luggage, pets, etc) . Strangely, it’s not uncommon to see Males dress up as female characters and Females dress up like Male characters.
Sadly, 90% of them look like big fucking dorks, mostly because THEY ARE big fucking dorks, meanwhile the other 10% who are always female look pretty hot in an almost fetish manner.

Cosplay is when you kind of be or pretend to be someone else. You put on makeup if you need to. You have to look like the character you are cosplaying. For example cosplay as hatsune miku you need a wig and makeup along with eye contacts. You can cosplay as anyone or anything. It's like dressing up. You also have to act like the character you are cosplaying as. Like if your character was Cold and greedy then tou have to act that way. If your character is Kind and shy then act that way. So act like you are the character. If you were cosplaying as hatsune miku then act like YOU ARE Hatsune Miku.

Cosplay is the "art" of dressing up (and optional roleplaying) of anime or anime-related characters.
Girl 1: OMG You look SO SLUTTY in that Yoko Littner costume!
Girl 2: It's cosplay, so it doesn't matter.
