Everything's More Awesome In Costume

Anime Club is exponentially more fun when you're dressed like Rin Kagamine.

If comic conventions have taught us anything, then it is this: Everything is more awesome while wearing a costume.

Don't believe me? Go to Zoup dressed as Batman or pick up your dry cleaning while wearing zombie makeup. (But be careful not to get zombie makeup on your freshly cleaned clothes.)

This lesson was reinforced at the first meeting of the Mentor Public Library's new anime club last Saturday.

The teens painted kokeshi (which is a kind of Japanese doll that kind of looks like nesting dolls,) ate pizza and watched the first episode of Letter Bee.

All of that would have been cool enough by itself, but some of the teens made it even better by showing up in costume. (We've attached a couple of photos, including snapshots of some of their finished kokeshi.)

The next meeting of the Anime Club will be 2 p.m. on June 22 at the Mentor Public Library’s main branch.

All teens are invited. The club will watch Hetalia: Axis Powers and have a Ramen-eating contest.

Come by. Wear a costume. You probably won't be the only one.
