As we saw previously on the terror train, anime mask cosplayers, properly called きぐるみ / kigurumi, are generally found by most to be rather disturbing (although it seems not to have stopped a small market for fetish kigurumi porn developing).
So disturbing are they that in fact they warrant another article to give a balanced view of the terror they embody.
The term kigurumi also covers all manner of animal suits and so forth; practicioners of the genre using anime style masks and cosplay materials are apparently also referred to as “dollers”, though from what I can see, the vast majority of anime kigurumi cosplayers refer to their activities as simply kigurumi.
A small mercy.
We are still left wondering about the gender breakdown?
Compare to normal cosplay. Their costumes are undeniably good at times, but this hardly offsets the other issues… If you are still curious about them, Kigurumi Kingdom is the portal to check.
This is the s♥♥t NIGHTMARES are made of!
So, if there is a madoka one and she/he takes the head off is that good or bad?
i bet not a single one of these cosplayer is female. and i am sooo jealous!!!
Is it okay to taser them? Not because it’s “wrong” per se, but we should relish in the dissonance created by a body writhing in pain while at the same time keeping a happy face.
On the upside, they’re surprisingly on model!
On the downside, they’re frighteningly ‘on-model’.
Whatever floats your boat. Me, I’ll stick to real faces.
