Moon Costumes Anime & Cosplay to Appear at Animazement

Durham, NC (PRWEB) May 21, 2009 -- Moon Costumes, a leading online retailer and manufacturer of custom halloween and cosplay costumes (http://www.mooncostumes.com), will be appearing this weekend at the Raleigh convention center during Animazement 2009.

Animazement is one of the leading North American conventions celebrating the art and culture surrounding Japanese manga (comics) and anime (animated movies). The convention screens new shows, has interviews with directors and authors, cosplay (dressing in costume as a character from an anime) events and much more.

"We've been to other con's, but there isn't really much call for cosplay in New York or San Jose. Animazement has consistently had a high proportion of attendees appearing in costumes, with excessive "glomping" and a popular late night rave (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN8gTj4Zquo). It's not the biggest con, but it's the most fun for us."

Moon Costumes is one of the top 3 leading sellers of cosplay costumes, weapons, and other costume accessories. The staff and employees have appeared in-costume at many conventions, but this is the first time they will be having a retail booth. A limited supply of costumes will be available for purchase at the site. Our staff will be available to do measurements for custom work and in-person consulting on future projects.

"This is Animazement's first year in Raleigh instead of the Durham Sheraton...there will be a lot more space, but I'm hoping the social experience won't be diminished by the more formal venue. If you're going to be in Raleigh this weekend, it's definitely worth a visit even if you're not an Anime fan. The energy and scene is exciting and fun."

Moon Costumes has launched many new costumes for the spring cosplay season, including styles from Air Gear, Soul Eater, Apollo Justice, Chrome Shelled Regios, LOTR, Devil May Cry as well as an expansion of our extensive Naruto and Bleach lines with Team Cloud, a new Uryuu Ishida, Stark and much more.

"Moon Costumes has had it's up's and downs with the Cosplay community, we're known to make some stuff well, but we've had some setbacks. This year we're going to wow the competition with several new all-leather pieces, including a new Vash...a stock of hard-to-find costume weapons, and great prices."
