I stumbled this video on youtube

Apparently there is a whole club dedicated to real life anime fight club.

A player chooses a Japanese anime character with a weapon of choice

and battle it out until someone bleeds or give up.

Anything goes with no safety or anything..... insane

<deleted> is this sh!t and i wonder what is the pt of dressing up as an anime character?

These anime characters had powers and skills makes no sense.

re

what is the pt of dressing up as an anime character?

twelve year olds to 25 y olds who meet up in chiang mai

to have a dress up competition now and again so wheres the harm ?

ps .. im waiting to see the fairy kei ones

just joshin !

Bizzare.

This one is better at least they put their fake weapons to good use. Too bad a plastic sword doesn't actually kill anyone.

Can you find another link? Someone had second thoughts.

So it's like Cosplay + LARP + Fight Club?

For those who have no idea what I said

Cosplay is dressing up as a character from a movie, cartoon, comic, etc. Often times it revolves around Japanese anime, but not always.

LARP stands for live action role play, this can be large scale latex weapon battles to acting out an pen and paper roleplaying game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzYDt_wq7kY#t=110

FIght Club, just the movie.

BTW, they removed their video

^ sounds about right, cosplay is very popular in Asian counties

I saved their vid and reuploaded it. Full HD mode 1080p took youtube so long to process it even though it literally took me seconds to upload it over 400mb in size.

I think it's great.

When they are a female aged 18-22 and the costume would fit a teddy bear.
