From around the Bay Area, a good number of cosplayers showed their spirit for the weekend festival by entering themselves in the costume contest later that night in the Anime Lounge.  Hosted by Sony and Viz Communications, entries competing for Best Male cosplayer to Best Female cosplayer made for a grand night of costume party bonanza!
