    Enough of the "oh what brave police we have" nonsense. This guy ran until he got tired and then gave up. The police had him with his back to a huge building wall and I guess the crowd was yelling at him to shoot him in the legs ! As…

    "You mean cosplay has become a criminal offence? Since when?"

    I dunno, ask the copper in the family. My understanding is that cosplay has been associated with underage prostitu.... errr, "enjo kosai". In addition, Akihabara has been inundated with costumed hookers and whores performing outlandish "upskirt" video and photo opportunities…

    Cleo...

    "The 'weirdoes and losers' find a harmless outlet in cos-play and the like. They're doing no one any harm.2
