Nice review. I am glad that someone without much knowledge of anime could appreciate the con. It is a unique event and I think most people wouldn't understand. One the note of creepiness, while it may be creepy, there is also a celebrity aspect to it. Anime characters are well known for many different things, including behavior and actions. So, posing happens not just between older guys and younger girls, but between all fans and cosplayers. While taking a picture of a cosplayer as your favorite character, some people like to see them in familiar poses as their animated counterparts. It's kind of like posing an action figure and then taking a picture of it. It isn't really about the person behind the costume, so much as it is about the characters themselves. I hope that makes things seem a little less creepy for you.
