VIDEO: Watch grown adults prance around in intense costumes at the 2014 World Cosplay Summit

We’re not entirely sure what’s going on in this video, but we know that there is a team of people representing Hong Kong competing at the 2014 World Cosplay Summit in Japan (where else?).

Cosplay, for the uninitiated, is short for costume play, where people dress up as characters from videogames or books or shows or what-have-you and interact with other costumed people while pretending to be their respective characters. Yeah.

As far as we can tell the story being staged involves princesses, giant swords, transformers, and the Japanese language. Enjoy.
