I am going to have to agree with this guy, I will never do it, and truthfully, never considered doing it.jcb1337 said:
I've never Cosplayed nor really desired to. Too much effort, time and money to make the costume look good. Not enough places to wear it without getting shot.
I'm not against Cosplaying but I've never been for it either.

I'm working on a costume right now for a con, actually. First time cosplaying, and I'm going as Sheena from Tales of Symphonia.
I've never quite gotten what's 'creepy' about it. It's just like dressing up in a Halloween costume.

It's similar to a renaissance faire, without the butchered Olde English, and people actually trying to accurately re-create period costumes, goods and skills. It also involves heavy armoured combat, which simulates period armoured combat, but uses rattan for the swords/maces/etc., rapier, which is, well, rapier, combat and target archery, and some limited equestrian stuff. There's no jousting though, because most people can't afford a horse, let alone one that's trained to deal with 15' of wood coming at them at 30mph+, and also because the liability insurance is high enough, for the standard combat forms.
Never have.
but i would love too.
My body type is perfect for my favorite characters too.
Id be able to do Sajin Komamura and Ganju Shiba from Bleach pretty well.
And Kikuchiyo from Samurai 7 as well.
There is a convention called Oni-con that's going to be held this fall in Houston TX, a 2 hr drive from where i live.
So if i get to go and can raise the funds hopefully ill be able to Cosplay.

I cosplay whenever I get to a con (except for Acen this past year, but I didn't have a costume prepped).
I've crossplayed (that is, dressed as a guy) for Nan Desu Kan, Colorado's big anime con. My roommate and I were dressed as Hideki and Mako from Nerima Daikon Brothers, and ran into Chris Patton for photos.
And if I can pull it off, I want to cosplay Nepeta Leijon / arsenicCatnip from Homestuck.

Nope, of course I have never been to a place where it would make sense. I neither love nor hate the idea but my inability to create costumes and my lack of inspiration as to what to go as says I will probably not do it in this life-time.
But who knows?

I've cosplayed as Dejiko from Di Gi Charat, the Animal Crossing token human, and Orihime from Bleach. I'm getting the urge to make another costume, but this time I feel like something more superhero-y. I'd like to do a Batwoman, or maybe Poison Ivy. I like to utilize my ability to cosplay as red haired characters without wearing a horrible floresant orange wig. If I ever cut my hair short, I'd like to be Speedy.
Never have, but if I am ever in Southern California during Comic-Con I think I would dress up as something simple, like Naked Snake or something like that.
Always wanted to. Sure people think its geeky, but I see it as an opportunity to be silly, free and do what you want without giving a damn what others expect of you.
@ the Phoenix Wright cosplay image, holy fuck. That man deserves a medal.

I make my friend wear a persona 3 junpei hat so i can pretend i'm the main character.
thats as close as i get.

I'd like to, especially if I had a GF to do it with. I think I can pull off Mordecai from Borderlands, Ukitake from Bleach, and Ed from Fullmetal. That or someone could throw me something random and if i like it I would give it a shot.
