I think you need to realize that more money is spent on halloween these days for adults than for kids and we passed that threshold in the states many years ago. Anime and manga is a tremendous export from Japan now. So much so now that.. hey look at this article!! They are giving these cosplayers from around the world a state welcome. That is NOT by accident. And the money involved drowns out nay sayers. Go to one of the 120 anime conventions across the United States alone and realize that there are conventions on nearly every continent. Cosplay is a creative outlet. And if anime and manga gets people to learn the Japanese language and certain cultural items to better understand what they are reading and hearing, that is NOT a bad thing. Those people in that picture, they are having the time of their life this week.
