Otaku Omaha — The Masquerade

anime con competition convention cosplay masquerade omaha otaku
As anyone who has read much of this blog will know, one of my favorite
features of anime and science fiction conventions is the masquerade.
Something about watching a bunch of nerds get up on stage in costume,
sometimes acting out a short skit, is very entertaining.
Otaku Omaha's masquerade, though small, was interesting. There were several original and creative costumes which I had not seen attempted before, and a couple very detailed costumes that were better than any version I had seen before. The few people who attempted skits did not do anything particularly memorable. However, I had a great time, the event was run well without any problems, and all of the contestants seemed to have a great time.

Masquerade - Anime St. Louis

One of my favorite features of anime conventions is the masquerade. Well over half of the attendees of anime cons generally show up in costume, and the masquerade is a great way to show off the incredible workmanship that goes into some of the costumes. Not only that, but the participants often perform short skits or performances as well.
The Masqerade at Anime St. Louis, while one of the smaller cons I have been to, had one of the best run Masquerades I have seen. Not only did it start on time, which is rare for a convention, but it also was run very smoothly and with minimal problems. It was a great show with many impressive entrants and several awesome skits. I am looking forward to next year's show already.
