Cosmania 2017 Highlights

You don’t need to leave the country to experience a grand anime and cosplay event. Cosplay Mania has it all for you. Held last September 30 to October 1 at Function rooms 1-5, SMX Convention Center. This is the biggest Cosmania ever since it started in 2008.

The event officially opened before noon. There were a lot of anime and cosplay enthusiast present. All of them excited to enjoy the event, meet their idols and win prizes!

If you were one of the first 500 people, you were entitled to play Cosplay Con-Quest. It is indeed a great way to explore the event. If you finish the game early, your prize awaits you at the Prize Redemption Booth located at the Show Management Office.

Toys, cute items, and fan art on sale—you'll get to see all of those. Did we already mention that Cosmania is also a great time to meet up with online sellers that are also exhibitors for 2 days? There are discounts and freebies from on-site shops that you can avail as well!

For two days, people got to see some of their favorite characters come to life. From anime, western comics, computer games, and movies—it is fun to see people with the same cosplay face each other!
