This one seemed much more packed than the last one!

Unlike last year's Best of Anime, this year's felt more lively due to the more 'crowded', yet not too stuffy, kind of feeling. Like the 2017 event, the location was limited to one hall due to the other events, such as the Ongaku Fest, being held in another room/hall at the SMX Convention Center.

The spacings between the booths was just right , though the paths towards the eating place was kinda awkward

The stage was also placed in a location easily accessible from the function hall's entrance, thus letting me get a good view of STARMARIE's live.

They're really good,  it gave me that nostalgic feel when I used to watch those magical/fantasy anime when I was a kid... They really live up to their name! They're even on Spotify

I don't know why I did not notice before, but STARMARIE is really good. I like their choreography, and the tune of their music.


After listening, enjoying, and even cheering through STARMARIE's entire timeslot; I decided to get myself some loot. I got myself some cat-ears, keychains, and I even found Mashu! It was great (not for my wallet)


It was a very fun event, especially with the line-up of stalls, guests, events, the cosplayers, and even the non-cosplayer visitors as well! All these mixed together created that atmosphere of camaraderie where everyone had that similar interest.

Enough of this pretty "serious" conclusion 😋. The food at convention's stalls were pretty good... If you folks want to share you experiences regarding Best of Anime 2018 (especially regarding the 1st say... I kinda missed that one), feel free to message me about them or share them down below!

Moving on... 

Of course, throughout the entire event, I took pictures of several cosplayers. Here's a collection of the shots I was able to take:










Found a Mashu again!


A dragon






Another dragon





Saber?


The real saber(s)

When the gacha shines on thee (or just rubs it in to you with its banner)





platelets, they were grouping up with other people cosplaying as platelets
