Cebu Cosplay | Otaku Fest 4

Otaku Fest 4 was a huge success! the weather even cooperated with it.=] and i was not mistaken when i said it is one of the biggest cosplay events here in Cebu. It gathered about 2000 persons (way more attendees compared to conventions at malls.XD)

I still remember the first Otaku Fest, the entrance fee was only 30php and there were only a few attendees(more or less 400 persons?), the only cool cosplayers were the Akatsuki group and Kon. hahahaha. And the event took only place near the AVR (disregarding the booths) or near the usual stage(i don't know what they call it). That is how small the event was.

But now, it became one of the biggest cosplay conventions here.(So proud of them) But of course a few adjustments must be made. they increased the entrance fee to 60php(which i have a feeling that it will keep on increasing since OF 3's fee was 50php. hehe) The event stretched from the field to the second gate. that is a lot of space. can you believe that the line was so long outside UP? hehe

there were lots of new cosplayers. at least i wont be photographing the same people at cons. i can say that Cebu cosplayers are really improving although I was not able to see the competition because i don't like bad audio.XD

i regret coming late. only stayed there for 2 hours. the camera was not even full.T_T i was not able to take pictures of some cosplayers.T______T

what sucks:
-the maid cafe(i'm sorry, it was really an utter failure. they should have placed it at the conference hall or any room with Aircon or somewhere private. maybe the one organizing it should have done more research. the presentation was REALLY bad)
-shiny costumes (that certain character does not have a shiny costume. why are you so shiny?!)
-wigs. (yes, i have said it once here and i'll say it again. do not wear cheap wigs! are you cosplaying that-cool-character ? but your hair is so different. oh! you don't have a wig.=|)

suggestions for the event:
-more booths (maybe you should invite those persons selling authentic anime figures )
-more gaming competitions (was thee a Tekken? maybe they should make a Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero or Rock Band competition or better yet, PSP competitions. hahaha)
-more FREEBIES!!! hahaha
-gather more sponsors

all in all? it was OUTSTANDING!!!
can't wait for next year or December? hahaha. Otaku Fest 5 should not fail us.
hhmmm..... maybe they should invite Alodia. hahahaha
