Live Action and live-sized Hatsune Miku!
Yeah she’s smiling permanently…
Ray’s take: Um…How about, HOLY SHIT THAT”S FREAKY! Man, Disney characters look all right because their head to body portions are OK, but having a real person wearing an anime character-like head but having her (his?) own body below just doesn’t look right, not to mention downright creepy, at least for me…Oh, you found her simply adorable and you think nothing’s wrong here? Well, O K…I think I’ll go sit over there in the cyberspace, execuse me…
P.S. No I didn’t forget the dude dressed up as a deer (?), but he stunned me into speechlessness…
About the Author
I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears. I can be reached at rayyhum777 at animediet. My Twitter is rayyhum777 at twitter.

Welcome to kigurumi? :P
I see…But the person’s body is still his or her own, rather than a costume that’ll make everything look more even. I just think in animation and drawings having a person with a huge head and a rather small body is cute, but in real life…?
It’s called anime-gao. You put on a zentai suit, put on your costume, and add a mask.
Creepy? Yes.
Awesome? Also yes.
