Reviews

Kristina Jensen There are many shows that I enjoy watching, but none make me smile so much as this one. I appreciate the behind the scenes that let you know the individuals as people you can cheer for, you share their hopes and frustrations with them. It gives you the sense of being there with them, not just watching them. In addition it is very exciting to see the different venues the show visits and to watch people just having fun and enjoying life with an almost childlike innocence. That is something all of us as we age should try to grasp hold of and never let go, this show helps you do that! I realize that cosplay may be a niche thing, but if you broaden your horizons a bit, watch the show and let yourself have fun, it will draw you in.
noahfick1 This show was done very well. I didn't even know what cos-play was before I watched this! This show was very well done it showed the creative process used when making elaborate costumes and even through in some drama as well! I thought it had even some funny moments to as well as moments when you felt completely sorry for the character. I think this show did a great job at giving you a taste at what cos-play was like. It really showed that teamwork is always great, and was always positive. It is appropriate for all ages and is great for people who want to lean more about cos-play and making Halloween a little more elaborate. Some of the costumes on the show were completely jaw dropping, for just a couple days it was amazing what these people could accomplish. Mrs. Han particular stole the show with some of her enormous costumes and perfection. I hope that this wonderful show will come back for a second season!
dommetch If you like video games, comic books, anime or just good old fashion cartoons HoC is for you. Good old fashion fun, imagine project runway mixed with fantasy artists and you have cosplay. Whether you want some ideas on how make creative designs or you just want to watch another competition drama show there is something for everyone. Everyone competes but it is the viewer who really wins. You get the opportunity to watch some of the top people in the industry compete with rosy eyed newbie hopefuls. I personally watch this show to see the creative process start to finish and the very novel ideas that the characters apply to their costumes. Enjoy.
galahad58-1 Cosplay wants to bring role play/costume making to the public. It wants you to see/experience the competition. The problem is all of the drama (fake drama also because the camera is in someone's face for all of it) that is prevalent in every single competition show nowadays. This show would have benefited more by showing how the contestants made their costumes and their creative ideas. By also having Victoria on the show you have damaged any positives that you could have had for the Cosplay community. First off: she does nothing for herself and has a boyfriend who she "uses" to make every single outfit for her; secondly: she just gripes on the boyfriend and complains about every single thing; third: she made a disparaging comment on how heavy people should not wear costumes (and in a world that want you not to be judgmental of their work -- she is a hypocrite) and lastly she is just a nasty, negative, spiteful person who is a bad example of a Cosplayer.
