The biggest cosplay event of the year in the Philippines opens with much fanfare as Day 1 of Cosplay Mania ’15 drew in cosplayers and enthusiasts from all over the country last weekend at the SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia. With a staggering 25,000 attendees last year, Cosplay Mania, organized by cosplay.ph, has consistently been one of the most anticipated conventions of the cosplay community. With an impressive lineup of international cosplayers and performers set to thrill and connect with their Filipino fans, it was definitely an exciting weekend for the community.
Of course, Cosplay Mania wouldn’t be Cosplay Mania without the cosplayers who have come from all over the country, and some from all over the world, just to take part in the biggest yearly cosplay event of the year and share with everyone the colorful, elaborate, quirky, imaginative and well-thought-of costumes, some taking the entire year to prepare for.
But in the end, every cosplayer loves his or her chosen cosplay and that quality is just a subjective notion. What would matter most is the fun you’ve had cosplaying and the new friends you get from sharing a common passion.
We have our Cosplay Models Keileen and Nicolette joining in the fun that day, and like most other cosplayers, they enjoy being in the thick of the action and mixing it up with the crowd.
It’s sad that in between covering the many events and attractions of Cosplay Mania, we didn’t have as much time to take photos of cosplayers, so all we could do was take some quick shots. We all admire their dedication and love for the hobby of course.
Visit us again soon for Day 2, as well. We will also be having a separate article for the photos of the cosplayers we got to meet that day, so please watch out for it soon as we are doing our best to finish our features.
