Video courtesy of Andy at asianschoolboy.com. Thank you!
Firien described a skit like this as a joke, but we crazy Undergrounders all thought it sounded hilarious and decided to make it a reality. xD We already had plans for summer 2008 so we squeezed it in at the first con of the year, Anime LA. Sparkle Pipsi worked very hard on her fabulous Sailor Moon costume, but the rest of it was rather thrown together at the last minute. I hope you like it as much as we do! :D
Awards: Best in Show Performance and Excellence in Workmanship at Anime LA 2008

My favorite part is that the skit is only 40 seconds of this video....the next 40 seconds are people LOSING THEIR MINDS. One of my most favorite skits ever. Iconic. Classic. GREAT job!!!

I literally didnt think this could ever be done in real life. This was not only creative, but it was also nostalgic, very well planned out, and such a masterpiece in a short amount of time. I am glad to see this performance got an award, it was really outstanding. I literally clapped, smiled and laughed (in a good way!) over how genius this was, and I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed too :)

Whenever I get discouraged with my cosplays I come watch this video to remember cosplay is meant to be fun for everyone. I can't imagine how good that girl felt, getting that kind of a reaction out of the crowd!! I literally tear up everytime lol.

@karlhans6678 Жыл бұрын

Yup, cosplay is about having fun and playing the role of an anime character you like. It shouldnt be about showing skin and having simps worshiping you.

Well, there are official Sailor Moon musicals and they did it! They normally do it with doubles, but the 2018 musical (Nogizaka46) actually made the girls change clothes within literally a second. It's amazing!

When I first saw this video 9yrs ago, I was starting my cosplaying journey. I began competing a few years after that. I’m now a master lever cosplayer. I need you to understand from the bottom of my heart that this masquerade entry is TIMELESS!!! If this skit was entered in a masquerade today, in 2023, even with all the advances made in the masquerade/cosllay competiton world, it could still win the best in show title for presentation. This video is now making its was onto TIKTOK!! The only main thing showing its age is the video quality but the skit itself?!?!?!? HALL OF FAME!!!
