AniMelee: Season 1, Episode 6

WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap! 

The cosplayers strike their most “anime”-ted poses for this anime challenge.

Yvette tells the gang they must make an accessory for their anime characters, and it must be animated – you know, move!

Did Jessie psychically know the challenge would be anime? Cuz her hair is totes appropriate!

Visual arts are in Paul’s blood, so the anime challenge is super exciting to him.

Jessie animates not just the heart of her staff, but the wings, as well!

Meesha makes a dragon head staff that’s darned impressive, but not quite enough to push her to round two.

Jacqueline didn’t know how she was going to incorporate the concept of “Moe” (submissive girl) into her character, but she came through!

Jessie works the “Hero” concept she drew at the end of the first challenge. Her quick change from schoolgirl to superhero wows the judges!

With his wired-up scarf blowing in the wind, and his horned antennae bobbling along, Paul brings his “Bokkuko” Kabuto to life!

Have we been transported into an animated world? These guys are larger than life!

The champ and her crew! Congrats, Jacqueline!
