Most certainly not. Way more time than that. It's a Mac. You may have to start making costumes and doing cosplay at Comicons. Start with something easy like No Face. Joanne Fabrics has a cosplay fabric section now. It's got some wild stuff- stretchy rubber with a carbon fiber print, for cybernetic body parts and the like. Think Ghost in the Shell, except I don't picture you as Major Kusanabi. Not sure you could pull it off. My daughter has been Kiki, San, Nausicäa, Arietty, and Nora, so if you want to be anime character I have some tips about making patterns and getting the details right. It's tricky because it's animated- the details can change significantly. You have to kind of make a composite. For Nora I actually got a book on making traditional Japanese clothing and made a fully lined kimono to a custom pattern my daughter's size, and all of the details like the obi and tabi socks. To my american friends, it was "look at that cute Japanese girl," To my Japanese friends- even the ones who had not seen Noragami- it was "a princess ghost." Details in how you wear the kimono...
