More than just a converging point for cosplayers, artists and geeks from all around Malaysia (and other countries too!), here’s why the 2023 edition of this yabai TACG convention is 100% unmissable for otakus!:
1. Cosplay booths for you to meet and greet amazing cosplayers
Come and say hi to some of the most stunning cosplayers from Malaysia and abroad at their booths! Here, you can admire their sugoi cosplays, buy merch to show support and take a selfie with them too to immortalise the moment. (But remember to ask if they consent or charge to take pictures!)
Don’t sit out on this rare opportunity to meet and greet big players in the cosplay scene, from the Douyin-famous international cosplayer Jane Jie to Cos-Mic Stars’ very own lineup of stunning local cosplayers including Eevon, Phi, Hanabi, Helen, Stella and Jiajia!
2. Artist Alley booths and a Pokémon Pop-up Store where you can buy artwork and merch
Do you consider yourself a person of (pop) culture? Then Cos-Mic’s Artist Alley is where you can get your fix of dazzling doujin artbooks, posters, knick-knacks and all kinds of artwork! Featuring 80 booths handled by local artists, there’ll be no shortage of outstanding art pieces to marvel at!
And if you fancy yourself as a Pokémon master, then Cos-Mic has a special treat just for you! This time around, Cos-Mic is opening a Pokémon Pop-up Store where you can purchase official Pokémon plushies, merchandise and more! Pokémon goods tend to run out fast, so make sure to grab your merch while stocks last!
3. Stellar anisong performances by both local and international artists
Your fave anime just doesn’t feel the same without epic OP songs, kan? So to add some awesomeness to the musical segment of Cos-Mic, they’re going all out by inviting musical talents from all around the region! The most hyped performance will definitely be by Burnout Syndromes, the J-rock band behind the OPs for numerous famous anime including Dr. STONE, Gintama and the sports genre sensation, Haikyu!!
And that’s not all; Cos-Mic will also showcase homegrown talents who will perform your favourite anisongs including Fate Feather, Rina-Hime, MinRi and many more. So make sure to get your groove on with these awesome anisong artists at Cos-Mic 2023!
4. Talk shows and Q&As with an international voice actor and famous creative industry guests
In addition to high-profile musical artists, Cos-Mic will also hold talks with big-name guests from all over the industry! Starting off, Cos-Mic will have the seiyuu Yurie Igoma, the voice behind the super kawaii Ruby from the hit 2023 anime Oshi no Ko!
You’ll also get to gain creative industry insights by attending a Meet & Greet and talk show hosted by Ernest Ng, the creator and illustrator of the best-selling (and hilarious!) Don’t Like That La Bro and Covidball Z comic series!
