Explaining why these cosplayers are making the gesture.

This weekend in Tokyo’s Akihabara, retailer Animate gave out Pop Team Epic paper masks to promote the new anime. Here is Animate’s tweet announcing the event and the clone Popuko mask it said would be passed out.

A huge crowd descended, hoping to score the freebie. The crowd was too much for the store to deal with, clogging up the street and footpath. The cops stepped in, and the event was shut down only five minutes or so after it had started.

Here is how the Pop Team Epic fans reacted. Some even sent photos to Animate’s cancellation announcement tweet.
