Right outside the TGS, there's a fenced off section for cosplayers. Folks stand in line to photograph and outright stare at women wearing simply anime/game inspired costumes. Myself included.

KOTAKU: "Did you wear that costume here today?"

CHUN-LI: "What do you mean?"

KOTAKU: "LIke on the train..."

CHUN-LI: "Oh no, I came here in regular clothes."

KOTAKU: "Really? Where did you change?"

CHUN-LI: "Over there."

KOTAKU: "In the toilet?"

CHUN-LI: "No, no. There's a special dressing room for us."

Why of course! There's no way in hell these folks would wear these duds on a cross town bus. Imagine the shame.
