The cosplay scene is pretty big in Pakistan. More than many people realize with all the various cosplay events being held all across Pakistan. A big part of this community happens to be anime cosplayers. Cosplayers aside, what if someone imagined Pakistan as one big anime playground? Turns out one digital artist did just that!
Pakistani-Canadian artist Usama Khalid has done just that by taking everyday shots from Pakistan, and taking them a step further with anime stylings. Usama is based in Ontario, Canada.
Could you imagine an anime series set in Pakistan? Well, now we won’t have to, because this digital artist has left nothing to the imagination. We’re really noticing those ‘anime vibes in Pakistan’ now.
