Cosplay Mania 2015

Cosplay Mania 2015 was held at SMX Convention Center on the 3rd and 4th of October 2015. The event featured big names in cosplay and Japanese music. As usual, I was only able to go on the second day, Sunday.

Unfortunately, guys. I wasn't able to do much coverage this time because... I managed to grab a meet-and-greet ticket for Kaname! My slot was at 11AM and the session started my day. I couldn't pull myself together after that. Heehee~

 Yep, I also had my chance for an autograph and a photo op, but I will tell you more about it in a separate post. I got a lot of things to say to you, guys! (^_^)

Even though I was on a high after meeting my cosplay idol, I did my best to look around and see what the event had to offer. First, was the event stage...

The hosts of Cosplay Mania 2015

Everybody literally flocked to the Pikachu booth.

I saw Loverin Tamburin and her band, too.

Sorry for the blurry picture, guys. But I was so happy to see Jesuke Jes wave at us. (^_^)

This year, the booth section was so vast, man! Toys, T-shirts, mugs, keychains, and a whole lot of anime stuff were there... Where's money when you need it?

Who likes Keybies? I do... I got the Ezio one.

Magic: The Gathering had a demo session in their booth. Last year, I tried the iPad app. Now, I was very lucky to have someone actually teach me how to play it. It's more fun to battle with someone, I agree on that. And... I got a free deck, too! It's the red one this time.
