I was watching hours of anime last night for.. research (phew) and then listened to some epic music to lull myself to sleep and I realised the connection between a great anime and an amazing soundtrack. Many Dubstep and trance bands use Anime as a common art form in they're appearance and music videos for example Nero uses extracts from the anime Cyber City Oedo 808 for they're single "Innocent".
I could take Inspiration and even style my future DJ on some pre-existing anime's, as the costume and iconic appearance of the characters is often used to represent someone rebellious and different a style relating to electro/ Dubstep.
Acquiring costumes similar to those used in anime's will be tricky but not impossible as already they're are groups of people who take up recreating anime costumes as a hobby known as "cosplay", selecting the perfect example would also be a difficult feat as the variety of choices is relatively hard to narrow down. Few DJ's have taken up the anime appearance as a permanent style, notable example of a full anime appearance are the amazingly talented Daft Punk or a lesser known Japanese artist DJ Plugman
