Anime Matsuri Pt. 3
Sunday
Alas, all good things must come to an end, but first... Let's cover the WORLD COSPLAY SUMMIT! A competition where cosplayers, in teams of two, compete for a chance to be the best in the world all while building community, breaking barriers, and making new friends.
All of the teams that participated in the Qualifiers were simply amazing. Everyone had to operate their own props with no outside help, so you can only imagine how tough it can be if things don't go right the first time around. Reason why? It's because you only have one shot to make it. These cosplayers spent months upon months getting ready to compete. The lucky winning team from the US competition gets to go to Japan and compete against the rest of the world.
The Qualifiers and Finals skits were just spectacular. It's one of those events where it's just better to see it in person because of all the technicality that goes into each performance. Here is the winning team and representing Team USA, Cupcake Cosplay!
I wish them both the best of luck in this year's competition, and may they make friendships that will last a lifetime.
That's it for Anime Matsuri 2013! See you next time for more cosplay insight! =D
That was a really innovative and absolutely cool costume change!
