| Bakazoku Anime Improv: Longtime award-winning cosplay troupe Bakazoku
entertained the crowd with more than a little comedy, they also got fans involved in the
process of putting themselves in humorous stage situations. This was as random and
insanely fun as it got and conveniently set the tone for the big cosplay contest that
followed. |
Cosplay Contest and Fashion
Runway Show: From Sailor Moon to
Full Metal Alchemist, Saturday afternoon's Cosplay Contest saw a large number of walk-ons and
enjoyable skits to entertain the audiences. If you didn't catch many of the cosplayers
wandering around in the halls, then this was surely the place to see them strut their stuff on
stage as well as in the Fashion Runway Show held on Sunday. |

| Dreamcatchers: Following in the footsteps of Bakazoku,
Dreamcatchers held the wheel with numerous endeavors including voice acting, skit musicals,
and much more. |
Concerts: J-pop singing sensations Kumiko Kato and angela
really powered up the crowds with their hit singles and wonderfully entertaining performances
that captured the stage like no other. Check out more of the concert pictures in the
Concerts section! |
