This could also be a cosplay tip. When considering what you want to cosplay, it doesn’t have to be from an anime. It could be from a game, a TV show, a movie, a comic book, even a celebrity.

When you see cosplay from other things, like movies or comic books, at an anime convention (or really any kind of convention), don’t think that they can’t cosplay it, just because it’s not from an anime. Don’t be rude if you see somebody cosplaying the Green Lantern, or my little pony. Not everybody is going to cosplay from an anime, and that’s perfectly fine. A good chunk of cosplay from each convention isn’t anime related at all.

Or even related to Asian media at all.
