Anime Blood: The Last Vampire

Year Bought 2000

Process Back in 2000 I was fortunate enough to accompany my really awesome grandma to Japan. I saw this uniform in a second hand store and brought it home with me where it sat in my closet until I thought of actually applying it to a costume.

Inspiration Long long ago in a galaxy far far away I viewed one of the first anime DVDs I ever bought myself. This being a big deal because at the time I was earning spending money by selling candy from a bucket to my fellow classmates. Blood: The Last Vampire isn't on a lot of peoples' favorites lists but I found myself intrigued but it was one of the first animes I saw that clearly wasn't for young children to sing along with.

Worn at Animemagic 2002 and ComicCon 2002
