Otaku Expo 2018

February 3 and 4, 2018 marks the date where Otaku Expo 2018 was held. Much like Otaku Expo last year it is once again held at SM Megamall. I've been attending this event both as a cosplayer and a convention attendee for a few years now and I guess its only fitting that I attend this again. This time covering it with my Blog.

Otaku Expo is a cosplay/otaku event thats been held annually since as far back as 2011 with every event loyally being held at SM Megamall.

Manila Hobbies and Collectibles Convention 2018

What better way to start the year right than indulging oneself into ones Hobby. This is what Manila Hobbies & Collectibles Convention 2018 was all about. Considered as one of the first major otaku/geek event of the year 2018, the event caters to toy enthusiast and collectors from both eastern and western side of the Hobby. I got to SM Megamall at around pass two in the afternoon which was longer than anticipated since I had trouble getting a ride that day which was odd since it was a Sunday. I got myself a bottle of water at the SM Foodcourt and headed up the fifth floor where the event was being held.

Brought by Hobby at Worx, the same folks behind such awesome events like Collecticon and TagCom and a lot more others. Manila Hobbies and Collectibles Convention 2018 was a two day event from January 20 and 21 during the weekends held at Megatrade Hall 3 of SM Megamall in the Philippines.

Cosplay Matsuri 2017

Cosplay Matsuri is one of the most highly anticipated cosplay event of the year. Sadly due to a busy Christmas schedule me and some cosplay friends only managed to go on the third and last day of the J-theme event. We left home early that Saturday morning to avoid traffic and also so we can check out all the merchant and artist booths before we decide to suit up in our respective costumes.

Cosplay Matsuri aims to combine the festive fun of a Matsuri Festival to that of Cosplay giving folks the best hybrid of both. Brought to you by the folks at Cosplaymania Its a three day event held at the SMX Convention Center in MOA from Dec 28 to 30, 2017. This is the second Cosplay Matsuri event in the Country with the first Cosplay Matsuri being held also in the same venue and date of the year. Only this time its being held in two Function halls now. So double the space double the enjoyment.

Ozine Fest Anime Figure Special 2017

The awesome folks at Otakuzine Anime Magazine are at it again to bring otaku and anime fans its annual Ozine Fest Event. One of the most anticipated and well known anime/otaku event in the Philippines. Ozine Fest Anime Figure Special is a two day event once again held at Megatrade Hall 2 of SM Megamall.

It was already the second day of the event when I got to the event due to a busy family Christmas schedule and got to Megamall around 2 in the afternoon which is pretty late when one wants to avail of the freebies they also offered for early bird ticket holders. Something that has become a staple for a lot of the major otaku events in the Country.

The 12th Christmas and Collectibles Fair, Day 2

I just got out of the theater that day after watching Starwars the Last Jedi for the second time at Glorietta 4 that morning compliments of sir Oliver. me and a group of cosplay friends of mine headed off to SM Megamall for the annual Christmas Toys and Collectibles Fair currently being held there. Traffic was hell as usual due to the Christmas rush during this time of the year and we managed to arrive at the event proper at around two in the afternoon. Plenty of time.

It was a cloudy Saturday and it was already the second day of the Toy Fair. But hey Its generally a Toy Convention, I like toys, so I'm excited. Sure id probably wont buy much due to my abysmal budget but sometimes just checking out the booths and meeting up with friends and what not is at times always worth the price of admission.

Super Heroes Unite! A Halloween Special

It was a day full of Superhero fun and Spook-tacular surprises for kids with "Superheroes Unite! A Halloween Special", as kids and their parents were treated to a superhero themed Halloween which was held at the great SM Mall of Asia Music Hall.

These costumed folks came into Taguig City Hall as early as noon for the good old "Trick or Treat" event hoping to go home with a bunch of Halloween treats and candies before the day is over. Thank goodness that  the weather is very cooperative and cloudy enough so that the kids won't suffer from the heat.

Justice League: Unite the Fans

Collectors, toy enthusiasts, comic and movie fans alike will be treated to a fun-filled day at the Justice League Unite the Fans Event in Trinoma from November 3-4. It's the second leg of the event with the first being held at Glorietta last October 27-28. 

Filled with Batman toys and memorabilia from the earlier days of Batman and the Justice League (JL), this is a DC fan paradise likely to get anyone hyped up for the upcoming JL movie.

With display shelves lined up with various Batman and Justice League action figures for that oh so great nostalgia trip back to memory lane to the beginnings of Batman and the Justice League members.
