In what promises to be the biggest cosplay event in the Philippines this year, Cosplay Mania ’12, the fifth such event in the country, will be held on two consecutive weekends, September 29 and 30, 2012 at the grand SMX Convention Center Function Rooms 3 to 5, SM Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City. It will be such a jam-packed event with a long itinerary that it will last from 11:00am to 9:00pm for both days. With over 3,000 people who have already bought tickets last I checked Friday morning, expect this to be one crazy event.
The people organizing the event, Cosplay.ph Organization, Inc., has vowed to make this a memorable gathering of cosplayers indee as they have invited internationally-renowned professional cosplayers: Jesuke, Kaname, and Reika–all of whom are expected to add a bit more flair into the event.
As for the tickets, the full access pass is worth P250 while the hall entry pass is P150. It might cost a bit, but for a whole day’s worth of zany fun and crazy sights, it might just be well worth the cost.
As an event that may as well be the last sign before the apocalypse, this is one event that this site certainly cannot forgo, which is why we will send our field correspondent, ANBU-tsuki, to cover Cosplay Mania ’12. Because of the perils of mass hysteria, overcrowding and diarrhea, we shall send him a pack of kropek, leather armor, a scroll of petrification and send him on his way.
Check our site again in the upcoming days for an exclusive report on Cosplay Mania ’12. Or better yet, be there. We’ll meet you there! Free hugs to anyone dressing up as Rei Ayanami or Asuka Langley Soryu.
