Syfy Brings Us a New Reality Show

The Syfy channel newest reality series, which premieres August 13, is Heroes of Cosplay.  This is one where I will watch to see how the costume is made and what the finished product looks like (because many of the costumes are well made), but can do without the drama.  Check it out below from syfy channel’s YouTube page:

Comic-Con Documentary

For those of us that will never get to Comic-Con, Comic-Con Episode IV A Fan’s Hope might be as close as we get.  The documentary will have a very limited release and will get most of it’s money from Blu-Ray/DVD sales.  This would be one for a library to get, so patrons that have expressed an interest in the convention can see what it would be like.  Thanks to ICv2 and YouTuber “movieclipsTRAILERS” for the trailer below.

World Cosplay Summit

Here is something you can tell your patrons that enjoy cosplaying.  Cosplaying might be dress-up for most people, however in the anime/manga conventions this hobby is taken very seriously.  The individuals that participate are very talented in costume making, a master level is when he or she actually designs and constructs all of their costumes.  If you have a patron that enjoys this hobby this will give them something to strive to attend in Japan.  Each year they have the World Cosplay Summit.  The summit is represented by 17 countries: Australia; Brazil; China; Denmark; Finland; France; Germany; Italy; Japan; Malaysia; The Netherlands; Mexico; Singapore; South Korea; Spain; Thailand; and The United States.  This year the winners were from Brazil.

Cosplayers take heart

This video is one of my favorites.  It doesn’t really bash cosplay, it has fun with cosplay.  More people cosplay than you might think.  I have to admit my kids and I have cosplayed.
