Katsucon’s Maid Cafe: Strangely Chaste~~1

February 24, 2011 - 4:31 am No Comments

anime maid cafeAt this weekend’s Katsucon anime convention in National Harbor, there was naturally plenty of overlap between the pervy and the adorable. Pervy and polite, though? For that, you had to go to the event’s Maid Cafe.

What’s a maid cafe? Allow the Katsucon site to explain:

Maid Cafés are a special kind of theme restaurant that first appeared in the Akihabara area of Tokyo and became popular around the turn of the century. Unlike your typical Western restaurant, Maid Cafés are staffed by highly attentive workers of a novelty Cafés that provided extra care to individuals that they serve. As the name suggests, Maid Café workers typically dress in maid outfits or other forms of cosplay.

It doesn’t take a genius to see the Maid Cafe’s sexual subtext. Back in 2009, aWashington Postarticle on Katsucon’s first Maid Cafe drew some strong reactions with its portrayal of maids who “reinforce the fantasy” and “call conventioneers ‘master’ and ‘mistress.’”

Voice Actress Michelle Ruff to Attend Shuto Con

February 24, 2011 - 4:27 am No Comments

HakuoukiVoice-over artist, Michelle Ruff, will be in attendance to discuss her roles in dubbing anime, as well as several other well-known voice talents includingTiffany Grant, Spike Spencer, and Doug Smith.

“We are very excited to invite Michelle back to Lansing, especially to see how much Lansing has grown since she attended college at MSU” said Shuto Con convention Chair, Stefanie Shall, who founded the convention last year with her husband, Joe. “Our attendees will have a very rare chance to get to meet one of the best voice actresses in the world!”

Local video game remix band, Year 200X, will also be in attendance to meet with fans, as well as Hobocon, a troupe that became famous for traveling to similar conventions on a tragically low budget.

In addition to family-friendly panel discussions and autograph sessions with guests, attendees can expect anime screenings, an exhibitor hall featuring artists and dealers from across the state and beyond, dances, adult-themed evening entertainment, and plenty of “cosplaying”.

“‘Cosplaying’ means ‘Costume Play’ where attendees are encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters. At our convention we not only encourage them to dress up, but to act like their favorite characters as well” said Shall, who has participated with Interactive Cosplay groups elsewhere in the country.

In addition to cosplay, Shall also hopes that convention attendees support the nonprofit Lansing Food Bank, through a non-perishable food drive that will be held during the show.

“We are asking when attendees come to pick up their membership badge over the weekend, they donate non-perishable food items like the anime fan favorite, instant ramen, to the LFB,” said Shall, who added designated event staffers will also collect cash donations. “We believe hunger is something no family should have to go through!”

Local business Otakumals, a Japanese-inspired plush doll maker, will sponsor the exhibit hall, and gaming cafe, Evolution Games, will host tournaments and programming in the video game room.

More information about Shuto Con is available on the convention website, including lodging and pre-registration discount information at: www.shutocon.com.

Anime is a type of cartoon from Japan, typically with more grown-up themes, often based on mangabooks. Manga is the written and drawn counterpart to anime and can be likened to comic books for older readers.

Akihabara hair salon caters to ‘cosplayers’

February 24, 2011 - 4:19 am No Comments

Akihabara cosplay showsTOKYO (Kyodo) — A hair salon in the Akihabara district, the “anime” mecca of Tokyo, is helping costume players get closer to the anime characters they aspire to emulate by trimming and styling wigs they bring in to emulate the characters’ hairstyles.

Cosplayers, who often go to great lengths in matching their costumes, makeup and hairstyles to those of their favorite characters in Japanese anime, manga comic books and video games, can bring in wigs to salon “fuwat,” where a team of a hair stylist and an assistant stylist will cut them into a desired shape upon careful consultation with the customers.

“What’s important is that we try to grasp the different images people have of the same characters,” said an assistant stylist who goes by the name Umeko.

The customers leave their wigs with the stylists for about a week and the wigs have a final fitting when they return to the salon for pickup. The service is by reservation only.

“We are trying to create a 2.5-dimensional world between the two-dimensional, virtual world and the three-dimensional real world,” said Aki, a stylist at the salon.
