The freshest summer event for the cosplay and otaku community is coming real soon as O-kun Fiesta by Otaku Asia Anime Magazine will be coming to Function Room 1, SMX Convention Center at SM Mall of Asia on May 16, 2015, and everyone who loves Japanese pop culture is cordially invited. Our esteemed friends and partners over at Otaku Asia Anime Magazine hold their first ever event, and as their official media partners, we at arkadymac.com will be there to give our full support and will be there to cover the event.
The event is themed as a school summer festival – to emulate the magazine’s sections of anime, food, fashion, music, games, culture and entertainment into a Japanese school festival where all sorts of activities could be experienced. PSICOM’s leading otaku lifestyle magazine, Otaku Asia, will be bringing to life O-kun Fiesta 2015, an initiative of PSICOM Publishing Inc. and organized by Otaku Asia. Filipinos have created their own idea of Japan based on their knowledge of anime, manga, media and the internet. They wish to celebrate the idea of Japan along with our Filipino traditions and thus, Otaku Asia named the event O-kun Fiesta.
O-kun Fiesta 2015, slated for May 16 at Function Room 1 SMX Convention Center Pasay will be having fun activities, for everyone like the Cosplay.ph’s Cosplay Costume of the Year awarding, a kimono show, magazine signings, and a special photobooth. Floor activities include a Tanabata wall, a freedom wall in the style of a festival tradition of writing wishes on a tanzaku and Mini-torii challenge, a tradition in Awashima shrine during summer. Excitement awaits with the many contests within the event which include the Cosplay Competition, a Karaoke Contest, a Drawing Contest, and Toy Photography contest.
Special guest cosplayers will be gracing the event to keep things exciting: Liui Aquino, Jia Gold Bustamante, Krizdel Ingreso, Marky Ilano, and our very own Cosplay Model Ashley Misaki.
And true to the theme, school summer festival, O-kun Fiesta will have a maid and butler café! Winner of the Golden Ticket Awards for the Best Community Event, Talking Apples Café will be joining the festivities, serving anime inspired coffee, iced tea and omurice, cookies, and their first for othe event, TAC will also be offering festival style, chocolate dipped bananas! So make sure to drop by for a truly unique maid and butler café experience.
These and many more at O-kun Fiesta 2015, coming to Function Room 1, SMX Convention Center at SM Mall of Asia on May 16, 2015. Entrance is only at 100 pesos, so we hope to see you there.
