Cos-Mic 2024 is Back This 14-16 Sept! Here’s Why M’sian Anime Fans & Geeks Will LOVE It

Why fly overseas for comic conventions when you can geek out at one of Southeast Asia’s BIGGEST pop culture events, right here on Malaysian soil? Not to mention it’s happening during one of our favourite long weekends.

Meet your favourite cosplayers, catch J-pop/rock live music acts and many more at Cos-Mic 2024, happening from 14 – 16 September @ Sunway Pyramid Convention Center!

Last year’s edition of Cos-Mic drew a HUGE crowd, with 65,258 Malaysians attending the TACG (toys, anime, cosplay and games) event – so you know we’ll be eating good at Cos-Mic 2024!

This year, it’s back and better than ever with three whole days of excitement! Here’s a rundown of what’s in store at Cos-Mic 2024:

1. Fanboy/girl at your favourite characters (cosplays) IRL

What’s a TACG event without high-effort cosplays? And it looks like Cos-Mic 2024 is keeping their standards high by inviting several femes cosplayers from all across the globe to meet Malaysian fans, on top of their very own Cos-Mic Stars of local cosplayers who’ll be astounding attendees with their scarily-accurate transformations.

Here’s a teaser of the popular cosplayers you can meet in person at Cos-Mic 2024:

2. Of J-rock and talk shows

What’s Cos-Mic 2024 without a couple of hype-worthy music performances and on-stage segments? The maestro who churned out the soul-stirring tracks of hit anime Given, Centimillimental, will be making their return to Malaysia at Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre after their last performance at Japan x Malaysia Friendship Concert 2022.  They will also be joined by Malaysia’s first all-girl J-Rock band, Hoshi-No-Oka, and KLP48, the Malaysian sister group of AKB48.

That’s not all! Cos-Mic 2024 has also invited several big names in the industry to share their experiences and insights with attendees.

Though we don’t have the full deets yet, a little bird told us that Hina Suguta, the voice actress behind the enchanting Marin Kitagawa from My Dress-Up Darling and bombshell Guinaifen from Honkai: Star Rail, will be making an appearance at Cos-Mic – more details will be unveiled in the coming weeks!

3. Shop your heart out at Artist Alley
