Why it worked

One cosplayer dressed as Mina Ashido from My Hero Academia shares that she's often mistaken for a troll, while another pair dressed as Sabo and Koala from One Piece discuss being mistaken for Willy Wonka.

These anime cosplayers did a great job with their cosplays but still got mistaken. Thank you to all 3 cosplayers for stopping to chat with us. I am excited to get back on the road soon to meet more of y’all in person. #cosplay #anime #animecosplay
