Japan was a fun loving anime and I was cast to be one of the judges. It's not a tough choice when you can either be Kuroyan or Pierrot. Although Pierrot is more challenging of a costume to make, the Kuroyan is much more fun and obnoxious. To add some challenge to the outfit, I first completed Season 1 "Head Pantasia" outfit with the double breasted front panel. This costume is quite comfortable to wear especially with rolled up sleeves. Completely lined, and therefore it is a bit heavy. However, the Yakitate 9 jacket is even heavier, since it is fully reversible to the Yakitate 25 manga version. The anime Yakitate 9 version is more colorful, but I liked the look of the Yakitate 25 with the extra leopard print. I figured the animators didn't want to keep on animating it so they put in the tomato colored shoulders for Yakitate 9.
