The 19th of May was not any Typical Saturday, First off, it was the Saturday after Elections, so the COMELEC and NAMFREL results of the Senatorial and Partylist elections were the first find among the newspapers that morning. The Proclamation of Pampanga's newest Governor, Fr. Eddie Panlilio, The Maguindanao Election poohoo, the Dong Puno vs. Ruffy Biazon Congressional Fight in Muntinlupa, and some Proclamations went into the frontpages of the Day.
But anime fans considered the 19th of May to be another day which will mark another history in Anime Events here in the Philippines. It was in this day that Mangaholixx Magazine was launched through an "animangaming" event called Mangaholixx Manga Mania, held at the Biggest Mall in the Philippines and in the whole of Asia, SM Mall of Asia's Music Hall.
Your coordinator, along with my Bestfriend and Cosplayer Twist went at the Mall of Asia about 20 to 30 minutes before the gates were opened. Also seen was Zen Otaku Honbu Coforumers Synth and Moonlight, Shorty and WTF's Ate Ehm, along with some folks from FC. First glimpse of the event area. This will be too noisy and so coincidental.
Why? Because a Remote Broadcast of Eat Bulaga's Taktak Mo o Tatakbo is going on. If we could measure it right, EB is broadcast on GMA, and M3 is Presented by HeroTV, which, we know by heart and soul, Owned by ABS-CBN. But let's get off the issue of that.
Anyway. The event was also sponsored by Fully Booked, Oishi, Q Powerstation, Comic Alley and, surprisingly, a First for them, UniversiTV (Owned jointly by Zoe Broadcasting, which happens to jointly own QTV with.... guess what, GMA Network!, and Estima Content, which produces the Morning Gagfest "HaPinas" which also airs on QTV, UniversiTV Airs on UHF 33, Beyond (SkySilver, SkyGold and SkyPlatinum) Cable Channel 5 and Global Destiny channel 98 .) which was with HaPinas Host Joaqui Tupas getting the attention of the convention-goers and share their own jokes and read Tongue Twisters.
First Hours
The First 5 hours of the event went ho-humm,. yeah, ho-humm. Although there were already cosplayers donning their costumes, getting pictures and waiting for the catwalk.. The first 5 hours of the event was, really, at most "ho-humm".
Not to mention the guesting of one of Culture Crash's Pioneers, Taga-ilog which DeviantArtists like Twist grabbed the chance to ask the question on why CCM "died".
The Music Hall was beginning to become Jampacked as more and more people and more and more cosplayers attended, The people began to swell at around 11 to 12 noon, And the people who will watch the EB Live via SNG Broadcast made also the people around the Cosplay Registration booth swell in huge numbers. probably to shade in the basking heat of the sun.
Anti Kapugo Sentiment/We Saw Lyceans
At around 2 to 4 pm. The people were now beginning to swell heavily the small Music Hall (Told Ya the Music Hall can become a Megatrade if Jampacked). The cosplay competition was going to start at that time and Team Zen Honbu composed of Tetsugaku-sha, Jinademaru and Kuya Jamibu already arrived.
As we skip other moments, I interviewed Members of Soul Society Philippines (the one Twist joined, a compendium of Bleach Fans) and, as what a true freelance Anime Journalist can do, asked their reaction and heard their resentment on the Dubbed Bleach aired on GMA (A Note to Angelo Crisolo, told ya that they suck, that's why you lose to Ueki's wrath). I also joined with the WTF
Some notable cosplay acts were Kuya Noel on the Sasquatch costume, Kuya (er..este..PAPPIE 46 THE FUTURE! because of the cosplayer number, 46) Bear, Jemire as Zombie, J (MatrixShino) as Yaiba, Kuya Jojo as Cell from DBZ, Jelz as Haru, Des(Deathsumi) as Doraemon, Yoru and Wolbo.
I also saw, of course, Ate Tel, Anje, Nyao, Vec (DarkWish), Momo-chan and some other WTF members which I never met.
Before the indiv cosplay ended, A surprise went into me, It was my Broad Classmate Clark Trinidad with a friend from Asia Pacific College. I was definitely surprised Clark went to the event and cordially showed him the Cosplayers Area. to the delight also of Twist. Clark said to me that it was his first time to an event. Well done Clark!
As night falled to the event, So did the attendees which were eitherway Tired, worn out or wanting to stroll along the big mall. I never saw Kala perform anymore nor returned to Team Zen Honbu. I went with Anje, Shorty, France, Jho, and Twist to Timezone to have some helping of Boom Tarat Tarat...este..Videoke pala
The event ended and so did the fireworks, Also the winners were announced. A Big Congrats to all of them!
Final Words and Acknowledgements
After the event, We strolled down as one team and proceeded to Teriyaki Boy, but I, Twist, Shorty and France went home already because we still need to catch the last train to EDSA.
The Event may look like as extraordinary. but by the looks of it. They chose the Wrong Place and They held it at the Wrong Time.
But to cap it all off. I must say...THIS IS UNEXPECTED.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT for this AfterCon: Thanks to Mangaholixx Magazine. Team Zen Honbu and WTF Cosplayers.
THIS IS KW AFTERCON, THE INSIGHTS INSIDE THE EVENTS...
