AnimeNEXT 2008 The Exhibition Skit – Ouran Host Club

Editors Note - This was the final skit of the evening and by far the best. It was such a fun night. If you ever have the opportunity to sit in a room packed full of nerds watching other nerds pretend to be amine characters… I highly recommended it. Please excuse the girlish screams that Miss Pocket Mouse and the fans around her let out, this is the best amature video of the Exhibition Skit to hit youtube and even with the screaming the sound quality remains excellent. Besides, if I had taken the video the girlish screams I let out would have drowned out all of the skit, not just a tiny part of it. Which would have had nothing to do with the fact that I couldn’t have been farther away from the stage and could barely hear anyway.

Without further whining the final AnimeNEXT 2008 Masquerade Skit, The Exhibition Skit: I’ll Make a Host out of you staring the award winning Mario Bueno

This is the major ending to this masquerade, featuring the Ouran Host Club! They are making a special appearance with Tamaki singing his heart out, making the fangirls scream! Poor Haruhi–she’s being picked on! She’s a girl after all. Ohh, if only Tamaki would of known…or will he?

Skit #27 – Me? A Guest?

Organization XIII has captured Kairi and forced her into a cell. Though they start to gather about her and tell her that she can be there guest! She didn’t understand the whole concept, especially when they start to sing and dance! The song they picked is from the disney film “Beauty And The Beast”. This should be interesting, ne?

You gotta have the princesses in almost every game. They may be a pain in the butt sometimes, but they have loads of spunk to whip some butt! The brawl characters are showing there stuff, especially Peach, Zelda, and Samus. You win, princesses! Girl power!

Skit #22 – The Birds And The Bees

Bleach characters are in a predicament now. This little green haired wonder wants to know about the ‘birds and the bees’. This is going to be difficult because when they try to explain, it come out into humorous paranoia! Got to admit, at least someone out of the bunch is telling the truth.

Skit #25 – D Gray-Man

Look who it is! Is it a fangirl? A yaoi make out session? No! Its the characters from D Gray-Man coming here to dance silly for us! This should be a real joy, now wouldn’t it?

Skit #19 – Cat Fight!

Uh-oh, its a girl fight at the club! And its not only then the Final Fantasy girls fighting over guys from Boys Over Flowers! Who will win? Who will lose? I don’t know! You’re watching the fight, not me. Take off those high heel shoes and jewelry, its time for a cat fight!

Skit #20 – Humiliation For Zuko

Avatar is in the mix, oh yeah! Now, in this skit, Prince Zuko has joined the Avatar’s group. However, he has to undergo initiation by..

(Drum roll please) dancing! This is going to be humiliating–especially for him.

Anime Dances at AnimeNEXT 2008!

The one thing about AnimeNEXT 2008 that made me really feel at home was the anime memes that were brought to life by the fans. It was tons of fun just watching and being around the group, even if I was too much of a wimp to join them myself.

I prefer Vimeo for the better video quality but please don’t be shy around our youtube page, subscribe to one or both for our video content.


Haruhi Dance at AnimeNEXT 2008 from Time Travel is Awesome on Vimeo.

Haruhi Dance preformed on the green in front of the Holiday Inn. The Haruhi cosplayer in the front organized and is leader this spontaneous fan fueled event.


Caramelldansen of AnimeNEXT 2008 from Time Travel is Awesome on Vimeo.

Caramelldansen is a youtube meme that really has no business being as popular as it has become. But at AnimeNEXT 2008 whenever the familiar, catchy tune began to play tons of people decided to join into the easy but addicting dance.
