The next convention after the PSICOM convention 2007 was the much awaited Ozine Fest 2007 Held at the Megatrade 2 Hall at the SM Megamall, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City last 01 April 2007.
At the start, people were now crowding the entrance of SM Megamall Building B where I was situated alongside with our friends at WTF? Cosplay Team to which I'm embedded in. The euphoria became more intense as people lined up the 5th floor of the Mall and, albeit it was a Palm Sunday and a Mass is ongoing in that part of the mall, Crowds and crowds of people lined up to buy tickets and those who have already bought the presold ones lined up to enter the hall.
As expected, the lines of people outside turned into crowds that filled up the largest of all Megatrade halls, Ticket estimates show that around plus or minus 5000 people attended one of the most awaited anime events for 2007. So many that the tickets that were presold before the event and the tickets that were sold that day ran out and the event team reprinted more tickets impromptu. That suggests the intensity of the event that is considered to be one of the most awaited next to Hataw Hanep Hero and the Toy Convention.
The events were, of course, the traditional and ever awaited Cosplay competition, Breadpan Eating contest, Yakult Drinking Contest, the Ponta Drinking Contest, SD Gundam Force competition, Speed Drawing Contests, Band Performances and other contests and performances. Sam Concepcion, Jet Pangan and Stephanie Cuevas also guested at the convention to promote the upcoming anime Beck from HeroTV which was the principal media partner of the event.
And speaking of HeroTV, I talked ambushly to Sir Eric Go about what Anime Kabayan told me in the YM earlier before that he thanks Hero TV for the respect that they did to AK specially in the early broadcasts of the ABS-CBN-owned channel. Sir Eric told me in reply that he is watching our Small YouTube broadcast which is a true testament of what ZOHNeTV has already made it's appeal and respect because of no nonsense and truthful delivery of local anime news and info especially to HeroTV.
Although we have no pics or vids of the event. I made some poses in some snapshots done by the members of the WTF Cosplay Team. I also made another rare opportunity to be the Assistant of Matrixshino of WTF to cover the Individual cosplay competition which was joined by a whopping 211 cosplayers (which, by the way, we never expected so as the Ozine and Event team as well.) joined by some Doujin cosplayers. and the Group cosplay competition which was joined by 10 groups (and rooted for the GSD Group ^_^).
I also made to the point that I join the rest of the Zen Honbu Kapamilya which was there at the event like synth, pinacolada-neko, moonlight bomber, tetsugaku-sha, mikan, nagi, shin18, joes, windracer, tomoe, Lan of Otakuzine and other Zen Members who which we never saw because of the different times of which we entered the hall.
After the Cosplay competition and bonding moments with the WTF Kapamilyas, the results were announced and, thanks to the efforts of Fafi Jojo and the group. Fafi Arjay won in the Individual Cosplay Competition as Hitusgaya Bankai of Bleach. Congrats from Kira's World
And although our Zen Honbu resident cosplayers like Moonlight Bomber who cosplayed as Matthew Luke Laonglaan of the continuing fanfic "SNW: Suikoden Pilipinas", Windracer and Tomoe never won, I sense that in the hearts and voices from Zen Honbu, they won with deep admiration from the Home of the Exclusives.
As we end another AfterCon report, let's just summarize that this year's Ozine Fest is truly one for the recordbooks for having the "largest" of this and "most" of that, but never forgetting their target which are the otakus which are also true loyal readers of Otakuzine, Many thanks to the Ozine Staff, Dennis and Bryan Uy, Erica Gonzales and the Ozine Staff (especially Lan or John Ray Perez) for another year of bringing a well established and successful event, I'm hoping for the best next year, at Ozine Fest 2008.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT for this AfterCon Report: To the Zen Honbu Forumers who went there: synth, pinacolada-neko, moonlight bomber, tetsugaku-sha, mikan, nagi, shin18, joes, windracer, tomoe, Lan of Otakuzine and others, To the WTF?
