*Edit: The len cosplayer is nightxx and our favourite mecha cosplayer, Clive also appeared in this documentary ^^ Thanks to all who left a comment to notify me =)

Maria and I were watching it together last night on its first run and had so much fun giggling at the erm......sorry to say , cheesiness of it all. The documentary/programme itself is fine. But seeing your friends act 'Japanese' in front of your screen is seriously LOLing material xD

But, kudos to all the cosplayer for looking so good on screen and being so cooperative with the filming crew. Yes, I know some parts (if not all) are scripted and giggle inducing but you guys beared with it anyway. Hahaa. Enjoy!

Some Cosplay Documentaries to share

Here with some interesting and insightful cosplay documentaries made by 2 different non profit organisation =)



"Today, I'm Julia" Cosplayer Profile
By Jessie Hlister and Jasmine Louis


Documentary Film Making, Temple University Japan: Spring 2010


Cosplay is the act of dressing up as anime, video game or other fictional characters and emulating them as much as possible at events, conventions or just for fun! Watch to learn more about this worldwide phenomenon in our first profile - "Today, I'm Julia."

This is a Non Profit Documentary made for research/cultural purposes by Temple University Japan students. Thank you for watching!




Here's the latest documentary about fans of youth Japanese culture called Otakus.This covers various activities they do as well as one of the cons that they attend.


Originally, this was gonna go up three weeks ago, but I had recorded it when I had a cold so my voice sounded very sickly in it. Now that I recovered, I rerecorded it and now its up.

Cosplay Encyclopedia Video?

If you're thinking "FINALLY! a professional video dedicated to this fabulous, intriguing, complicated and badly misunderstood hobby!" then you're in for a big disappointment.

I vaguely remember watching the original Japanese version online some zillion years ago and finding it totally sleep inducing....even somewhat vomit inducing. OMG, I feel so mean saying these but I swear its nothing but my honest opinion. You can't expect this blog to be all preaches and cream righttttt ?

Can you guess who she is?

It might have been due to the fact that the original video footage was filmed in 1996 which is omfgwtfbbq 13 YEARS ago. More than a decade! Which is more than enough time for fashion trends to come and go and maybe come back again only to be last season still ... if you get what I mean.

A little more hints...................

I mean, just the screencaps was enough to make me cringe in horror with palms over face. All the epic red lipsticks (which was all the rage then I supposed?) and super high waist were icons of that erm...epic period. But the thing that puts me off most was the lack of good hairstyling, wigs and pretty makeup.

She is Barbie, the reknown SailorMoon Cosplayer! remind me to kill anyone who has old cosplay photos of me...

But I guess on the bright side, this video serves as a form of encouragement to continents or people from any continent who feel their own cosplays can't measure up to the Japanese. Cheer Up! give yourself another 13years and you can be epic awesome too XD
