Spent last Sunday afternoon with Janet at Cineleisure Damansara for the ComiWorld 2007 Animax Cosplay Competition.

I don't have much knowledge about "cosplay" except whatever I can get hold of from the internet and friends like Firn and Kenjiroo.

Managed to take photo with some of them. They are really a bunch of friendly folks!

To summarize, the finalists are called up on stage and a set of items are laid out in front of them. Individually, each contestant will have to perform a convincing (as per the character they play) act with 2 items, chosen by the judges (3 of them). After each contestant has their chance to perform, they will undergo a round of interview by the 3 judges. Most of the questions are "background checks" with some role-playing questions thrown in as well; i believe these are to test the contestants familiarity and comfort level with the characters they play.

"@Snake'eyes, for ur info, apart from champion, 1st & 2nd runner up, there is no consolation, instead, it is 'crowd's favourite'. which is won by me, waninoko. Besides, i m cosplaying Amano Ginji from Get Backers, not Genji. Pls take note, i forgive u for not knowing who won for it." - waninoko
