Re: I'M INFORMATIVE.

You know, I originally thought it was a bit creepy and kinda dehumanizes the characters (one of the things about cosplay for me is having the character come to life, and I felt that the "kigurumi" stuff seemed more like they were walking action figures than people.) But I think your comment helped explain the whys behind it a bit more.

I doubt I'd ever do it myself, but I can at least understand some of the appeal now.

haha, im glad i could be so helpful! I can see what you mean by it though, what i like about normal cosplay is seeing the characters as though they were realistic.
the motivation can depend on the person too. some people i know do it because they're into all sorts of costuming. Or some want to be a female character without being some kinda scary crossplay, or cus they think it's cute.

ive thought about doing it myself, but it's hecka expensive @_@ mask($200-$thousands) + costume($50-$who knows) + body suit(??)? yikes!

IM RAMBLING.
