3.0 out of 5 stars Encyclopedia? Hardly!, May 2, 2000

By A Customer

This is an entertaining video, but is nearly worthless for learning about cosplay. (the art of dressing up as anime, manga and videogame characters) The man who interviews the cosplayers (almost all girls) knows little about his subject matter. He seems more interested in the girls than the costumes. Lots of close-ups of faces and few full shots of the costumes. The second half of the video is a japanese reporter interviewing the proprietor of a costume shop. It seems more like an ad for the shop than a news story. The reporter is quite cute in the various costumes but she looks extremely bored. Somehow the whole thing is strangly entertaining as long as you are amused by lots of giggling schoolgirls.

3.0 out of 5 stars Take it for what it is, March 25, 2002

By A Customer

If you buy it looking for a guide to making your own costume, you will be disappointed. But if you take it for what it is - an hour or so of Japanese girls in pretty costumes posing and answering questions, it is reasonably entertaining.
