Cosplay

Went to One Utama yesterday to see the ANIMAX Youth Festival. Actually we went there only to see the cosplay. It was my first time actually being to a cosplay event, so it was quite interesting. The participants were dressed up as various anime characters, and some of them looked quite similar to their anime counterparts. A guy actually painted himself blue to portray the Naruto character Kisame, complete with sword. The MC kept referring to Kisame as "fish" and "Nemo", probably related to his water abilities and blue color? (I have to practice writing in American spelling now, as that's what we have to do for the exams before US) It was more of a competition, so all the participants had to do some performance on stage. Uraha from Bleach was quite funny, he did some weird dance that caused the MC to joke that representatives from a hospital for "sick" people should be waiting outside... There weren't many participants actually, only 10 of them, as it was a small scale event. I'll update this post with photos after I can get them on the computer..
