And If the great sights and sounds and fun from last year’s event isn’t enough, here are six more reasons why you shouldn’t miss Animax Carnival Philippines 2016:
1) Four of the hottest anisong artists from Japan will be there to perform live for the first time in the country: ELISA, Yanaginagi, Ami Wajima, and May’n, and you can listen to their rendition of theme songs from the most well-loved anime series on Animax live and get the chance to meet and greet them.
2) Be familiar with the richness of Japanese culture. Play traditional carnival games inspired from Edo Japan. Learn how to wear yukata (a light cotton kimono) with obi sash before attending the tea ceremony. Try out the samurai armor worn by noble warriors from as far back as 4th century Japan.
3) Are you just an anime fan or almost an otaku? Match your wits with other anime buffs and experience booth activities from your favorite Animax titles at the Anime Pavilion.
4) Awaken the anime fan in you! Get a load of the best deals and discounts with the largest display of anime, cosplay, and OO-Kun merchandise all in one place! And meet the adorable OO-Kun in person!
5) Join OO-Kun and challenge his friends’ activities. Sing at the Karaoke Booth. Show your drawing skills. Attend workshops on toy photography, cosplay, and many more!
6) Dress to impress in the much-awaited Animax Cosplay Competition. Relive your favorite anime character and win amazing prizes worth more than Php25,000!
