This reunion is huge! The Best of Anime (BOA), which had to take a three-year break due to the pandemic, is returning in 2023 with a fury. The Anime Idol Dance Battle, Anime Sing-Off, All-Star Cosplay Competition, and Lolita Fashion Show are just a few of the spectacular events that BOA will be hosting this year. These events will feature special guests, performances by fan favorite cosplayers, and more.
Without merchandising, an anime event is obviously incomplete, so don’t forget to stop by the stores and pick up some manga or comics! If you’ve never heard of cosplay, it’s a concept that combines the words “costume” and “play” and describes activities involving dressing up or acting as a character from anime, manga, or any other type of media. Cosplayers spend all of their time thinking, designing their exquisite costumes, and developing their own definitions of the characters rather than just dressing as them. Cosplayers from all over the Philippines will congregate at BOA for one of the largest cosplay events in the country to display their incredible creations and celebrate this art form while having a great time. Naturally, BOA is not just for cosplayers. Everyone who enjoys cosplay, anime, manga, and Japanese culture is welcome at the event!
The Manila Office of the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) is thrilled to support this event. Both groups will be present at BOA to educate attendees about the unique facets of Japanese culture and to give fun activities and educational materials about Japan.
The Best of Anime 2023: The Reunion is a must-see if you enjoy Japanese culture, anime, manga, cosplay, and other forms of Japanese pop culture. On September 16, stop by the SM Mall of Asia Complex’s SMX Convention Center for an anime extravaganza!
