Joining us for this coverage are our correspondents and cosplay models: Jillian, Nicole, Kyle, Yanna, and Mina Kim. They too enjoyed bring the action and were having fun having their photos taken by the crowd.
Highlighting Day 1’s event was the press conference and meet and greet session with premier South Korean cosplay group, Spiral SP Cats: Tasha, Ssol and Doremi, who addressed the media at the Megatrade Conference Room. They were gracious and engaging as they answered questions regarding their group and about cosplay in general. They were lively and courteous towards the press and we can say very fascinating and witty as well.A short photo shoot was done with the press as they posed for the cameras in their League of Legends-inspired cosplays.
Parts of the Press conference in video format here:
The program went on without a hitch inside, with various games and performances, which include the performance of Asterysk with Baby Metal Cover Group Kitsune Dao who gave the crowd something to be happy about.
Inside the halls, visitors enjoyed browsing through the many interesting stalls and shops which featured mostly anime-inspired items that you would not find anywhere else.
The scene outside the hall was a bustling one as costrippers enjoyed having their pictures taken with the curious and appreciative crowd. We also enjoyed having shoots with them of course.
Everything is looking up to be a fun weekend with Otaku Expo Reload 2014, so we hope to see you at Day 2. We’ll be bringing you the action all two days, so please stay tuned to arkadymac.com.
