We are a group of friends who love anime and currently attend anime conventions such as Anime Central and Otakon. While we attend these conventions, we vocalize our appreciation for the cosplayers' efforts and hard work. It isn't hard to find us at said conventions. Most likely you can hear us shouting the names of the characters that the cosplayers represent at the top of our lungs. We also wear bright colored shirts with "SHOUT OUTS!" written on them.This all started in 2006 at Anime Central in Chicago. While we were waiting in line for the masquerade, we spotted a girl who was crying across the way. Upon realizing that she was dressed up as an amazing Xianghua from Soul Caliber, and that she was unable to participate in the masquerade against her wishes, we felt really sorry for her. So we decided to let her know how amazing she was, and shouted at the top of our lungs: "XIANGHUA, WE LOVE YOU!!!". This seemed to cheer her up a little, knowing that someone appreciated her hard work.So... thats how it all started. Now we continue to shoutout to all the awesome cosplayers out there.
