About this Event
Step through the portal and into something darker.
Got Isekai’d returns to Bar XIII for a special Halloween edition: Night of the Yōkai — a Japanese horror anime rave and dance party inspired by yōkai, ghost stories, cursed transformations, supernatural folklore, and all the beautifully unsettling corners of anime and manga.
Expect a night of anime, J-pop, K-pop, J-rock, EDM, remixes, visuals, cosplay, and chaos with DJs:
Mighty Mike Saga
Gabriel Drax
Xoxotique
COSPLAY CONTEST — UP TO $250 IN CASH & PRIZES
This time, your favorite characters need to cross over into the nightmare.
To participate in the contest, costumes must be a horror or yōkai-inspired version of an existing anime, manga, video game, or pop-culture character.
Think cursed variants, undead transformations, ghostly versions, monstrous redesigns, body horror, oni, spirits, demons, urban legends, and other nightmare-fueled takes.
Regular cosplay is absolutely welcome at the event — the horror/yōkai requirement only applies to contest entries.
ALSO FEATURING
Vendors
Photo Ops
Go-Go Dancers
Aerialists
Anime-inspired food and drink specials
Whether you come dressed for the contest, show up as your favorite character, or just want to dance until you get transported to another world, Night of the Yōkai is built to be a full-scale anime Halloween experience.
