Because it's fun dressing up and acting out your favorite characters. People all over the world do it, so it isn't just a Japanese thing, though they known to have the best cosplay around anyways.

For some people, it's a way of getting attention. After all, who has more people on them at an anime convention than someone dressed up as a popular character?
But it's also done to just have fun or express yourself. You can let loose while cosplaying, throw away your ego and tell yourself, "I can do this because I'm not me, I'm _____."
That sounds a little crazy, but most people do something similar (without sticking out as much) by wearing clothes they normally wouldn't wear or something along those lines.

[size=10]Cosplay to me, is just like halloween (in that people dress up).. only.. it seems there are much better outfits when people cosplay than when they dress up on halloween.
I'm not a big fan of halloween or cosplay; though I can see why others like to participate in the acts. It seems pretty fun and challenging, seeing how well you can fit a character and maybe even acting like the character/roleplaying.[/h]

Throw away your ego? I don't know about that...
I don't cosplay, but I don't really see much wrong with it. I mean, most people have some sort of retreat from reality, because most people's lives pretty much suck. Plus people who are into that sort of thing are often seen a certain way by "mainstream" society, and it's an opportunity to be seen as cool by like-minded people, I guess.

"Throw away your ego" wasn't the right way to say it. "Retreat from reality" is more like what I meant, but I couldn't think of those words at the time.
I've met people who were normally shy and kept to themselves open up and even be mean while cosplaying, because the character they were dressed up as was open and straight-forward. That's the sort of thing I'm talking about.

It depends. If a person can sow and make their own clothes, it's not too expensive. But certain characters would cost a person an arm and a leg. Also, if a person wants their costume to be alright, they won't need to spend a lot, but if they want it to look perfect, it will cost them a lot.

It's prejudice and doesn't have any truth to it.
Some cosplayers are assholes, but some people are assholes, so it makes sense that some cosplayers will be, too. Typically, a person cosplays because they like dressing up as a character, for whatever reason, and there's nothing wrong with it. It doesn't infringe upon anyone else's rights or hurt anybody.

it's a way for humans to get closer to the anime world.
