2. Meeting Kakkoii (Cool) and Kawaii (Cute) Japanese personalities
Ike-kun! You’re so cool!
If you’ve watched Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans and Haikyuu!, you’ve probably heard a song from Spyair. Rage of Dust and Imagine were Spyair’s music that have been used for Iron Blooded Orphans’ and Haikyuu!’s opening sequences.
From Cool to Cute, STARMARIE also graced the Best of Anime 2017.
The popular J-Pop Idol group were all so cute! Seeing them there to meet their fans was a pleasure. I really love hearing their small, high-pitched voices when they speak too.

1. PH anime culture and cosplay
This, of course, was a highlight of the Best of Anime 2017.
Cosplaying or Costume Roleplaying is a very popular hobby for anime fans. What I love about cosplay is that people find characters that they can identify with. It can be a character that they can relate with or a character that they look up to or want to be like.
Cosplayer Yuegene Fay talks about cross-dress cosplaying
Seeing fellow anime fans suit up to characters they love gives me an insight of who they are even if they are complete strangers to me. Also, this is a great way to meet new friends and to spend time with people of the same hobby.
Cosplayer Reika made a Kimono in less than an hour for a costume workshop!

The Best of Anime 2017 was a great treat for anime fans like me. Surely, I’ll be back next year. I’m also thinking of going there in cosplay. Which character would you go as for Best of Anime 2018?
