Animazement Day Two - March 21, 1998

Costume players, celebrities and unusual sights were part of the second day of Animazement.
You need to have a costume contest to have an anime convention. A mixture of newcomers and repeat performers graced the stage at the inaugural Animazement cosplay.
After the cosplay, the judges retired to the jury room. They rendered a verdict shortly afterwards, and the particulars are hereby documented.
Publisher Toshifumi Inagawa and multimedia maven Nobuyuki Takahashi talked about the anime magazine scene in Japan - and had news on the first all-anime television channel.
English-language voice actress Amanda Winn Lee met fans, entertaining them with her stories about the characters she has played.
Yasuhiro Imagawa, the man behind the Giant Robo anime, talked about the long journey to get the popular adaptation out of his head and into video.
All of the English-language voice actors at Animazement got together to talk about their jobs and defend their work against subtitle fans.
Then, the people who don't like dubs were challenged to step up to the mike and find if it was as easy as they think.
