Think of it this way - when it's Halloween, less people pick on your costume and judge how accurate it is and how you're portraying the character and stuff. That's what I mean by "more serious".

And usually for cosplay, people play...more specific characters. Like from comic books. [MAYBE IF HE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT COSPLAY, HE PROBABLY ISN'T TOO FAMILIAR WITH ANIME? ORZ.]
