    D'AWWW. That old man's cosplay at 5:19 from UP is just adorable.

      He was a great find. Very charming man. You can't see it in the shot but he also had the cane with the golf balls on the bottom.

    EVERYONE! Thank you. I'm overwhelmed. Thank you for all your incredibly kind comments. What is beautiful about this episode are the people that are in it. This is their show.

      Cosplay Boom Your videos always makes me cry... this one especially... it's so beautiful and it shows so many different reasons why people get into cosplaying. There are endless stories why we do what we do and every single story is touching... Thank you for these great videos ❤

    Thank you so much, Todd and Meagan. Truly inspirational and captures the heart of why we cosplay. A fantastic production that bodes well for the future of this series. Thank you again for taking the time to photograph and including me (Rinzler at RCCC) in this beautiful video!

    This is amazing! Cosplay is about being ourselves and empowering ourselves with the characters we become, it's wonderful. Can't wait for the other videos.

    • @CosplayBoom
      @CosplayBoom  Před 9 lety +2

      The first time I met you and the other cosplayers at PAX Prime YEARS ago is why I wanted to create this project in the first place. I think wearing your Garus' mask is what broke me.

      Not only that. Cosplay can also be helpful for people with depression, loneliness and who lack self confidence. So it has a more or less large therapeutic component in it.

    @TifaIA Před 9 lety +2

    Dah! I can't believe that I was so fortunate to be in this video. You all have done an amazing job, and it's great to see that you included such a wide variety of cosplayers in this; not just those who are 'cosfamous' but everyone in between. I can not wait to see the next video and will be spreading the word of Boom!

  • @karanagle5923
    @karanagle5923 Před 9 lety +1

    It says something about the culture that the over-arcing inspiration for cosplayers is "the nerdy, introverted, outcast artist that loves to play dress up". The girl who says "MY PEOPLE!" is on the nose with that sentiment.

    All the cosplayers where really good but loved the girl cosplaying as Tinkerbell from Hook, she looks amazing and her personality speaks a lot from herself, she seems like a really nice and easy going person. I think I will start going to conventions on the U.S. would love to meet people like her.

  • @KaptenKlant
    @KaptenKlant Před 9 lety

    The only somewhat sad thing about this wonderful half hour of interesting people is the fact that many cosplayers feel a need to justify doing something fun and having a good time, why can't everyone just appreciate creativity?

    • @CosplayBoom
      @CosplayBoom  Před 9 lety +3

      Hi Kapten. Thank you for the kind words about the episode! Wasked what people were like growing up and what influenced them and then we asked what got them into cosplay. We have an entire other episode about the fun of being a cosplayer.

  • @amiesart

    nice work and the cosplayer in this video are all so beautiful.
    i love this video and i hope, a many german cosplayer want to see this video and see, what cosplay is.
    thank you for this video.

    • @CosplayBoom

      Thank you for your incredibly kind words Rabbit, hopefully we get to make it out to Germany next year to cover a convention!

  • @museluvr
    @museluvr Před 9 lety +1

    Liking this in the insight to how cosplayers came into doing cosplay. Wouldn't mind seeing more. 17:16 - love his costume (anyone know what he is portraying there?)! 21:13 - impressive armored group. As a shy introvert myself, I think I can understand more fully why cosplay tugs at me. As an artist, the beauty cosplay presents in so many forms is amazing. The music that follows this video is lovely and I must applaud the emotion it provokes.

      Thanks for saying. We have a lot of fun. I've always told both of them I don't care what you choose to do (music, sports, art, etc) just passionately go for and I'll support you.

      coregeeknet I may be grown up, but after stumbling upon 'cosplay' due to a game I play and the Blizzcon they do almost annually, I'm scouting out outfits to design and make. First step - learning to sew. If Yaya Han started out not sewing, then so can I! lol

      Ask the community, don't let your shape keep your from doing cosplay. You can do anything you set your mind to.
