In articles like this, I usually do a little introduction to tell people about a piece of media that they maybe don’t know about. But like, is that really necessary for this one?

I’ve seen a lot of impressive cosplays now. Stuff so show-accurate it’s actually astonishing it’s not a costume made by the television crew. I’ve seen cosplays that are basically art pieces, taking the idea of characters and changing them in fascinating ways.
