(VIDEO 1 of 3)

Sorry to take up so much of your time.

I gathered you all here because there is something I want to tell you all.

He enjoyed the cosplay competition yesterday

Today, he will talk to you about what he truly feels about yesterday's competition.

Is it okay?

Although there are three judges and the result has already been decided, he himself has his own opinion to tell you all.

Can you allow him to say which he really liked the most?

Of course he personally thinks that everyone of you is very good. It's just that everyone is so good that he can't decide. Usually, what he looks for is performance and the costumes somehow they can mix together. That's what he truly looks for as a judge. For himself and his own opinion.

He feels that the Philippine one is the good, is quite the best. Because your costume is very detailed, is very nice. He likes you because the way you cooperate with each other on stage. You coordinate. Actually all of the sections in the cosplay panel, the judge marking, all the panels he gave you full marks.

Because before, WitchBlade, he doesn't know anything about it. But thanks to you he likes it now. Actually, before this, he doesn't know WitchBlade, but what really draws him to your performance is the way you move, and coordination.

Your video is good. The way you made your costumes is very eye-catching. Your timing with the video is quite natural. What he likes about the video is the character named Shiori? He liked the way she smiles. The animation. The video. Actually, what made him decide that you're a ? is because of that smile. That last smile in the video.

Sorry but, he's not saying the others are no good, but for the other teams right, usually their ending part of whatever their performance are, he feels that it's not complete. The last part. Next time try to make use of the stage ?, the stage itself. So whatever he says, he hopes you accept it. Not only goes to yesterday's contestants, but all cosplayers who wants to do performances.

Eat eat.

In terms of video-wise, what is really eye-catching is the Lineage team and the Gundam team. He feels so moved that he would like to be part of your team. Your video is impressive but he thinks that your movement is too stiff so be more natural I guess. If it goes just by camera shot, or photo, Lineage team should be the winner. In terms of skill in making, like the technical assemble your costume, he thinks that Gundam should win.

Because in competitions right you need to match with the live video and your own performance to win and get good points. He says that all of you are good but he sees that most of your costumes is still not complete. Try to increase your performance quality. Reverse, actually, is umm if you have good costume but your performance. 'cause in competition right, good costume but performance not good, so it won't help. But performance good, costume no good, it won't work.

All of the contestant's group are awesome ;].

Of course I supported Team Malaysia since I'm from Malaysia. But I have to admit, I love others' performances as well especially Alodia and Ashley's.

And.. I didn't look at his translator, I just keep looking at Kaname-sama every single second of this video. His thoughts are amazing! Kaname is like.. ARGHHH!! He is too hot for a Cloud. ;] God, he is so beautiful <3.
