Cultural Festival 文化祭 (Bunkasai)

Last September 07, 2014, United Anime Council together with it's partner Anime Corner Group Pilipinas! held an outdoor photo shoot event held at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center, Quezon City. Aside from the Cosplay Photo shoot, the event was also packed with entertainment. There were live bands, games, photo booth, contests, community booths, etc.



The event was graced by the cosplayers. The place is very nice. It is really perfect for photo shoot. There were also numerous photographers that attended since this is a good opportunity to take photos of cosplayers in a natural environment. Here are some shots of cosplayers that I took.

Aside from the cosplayers, there are toys/figures display at the event. I was not able to take a lot of pictures, but here are some. You can also click here for more photos.

Karaoke contest was also held at the event. It was a chance for the anime fans to sing their favorite anime song on stage. Also, there are games that involved participation of the audience. It was really fun and some people are running towards the stage to answer questions and get some prizes.

Aside from the contests and games, there were live bands who performed to entertain the crowd. The bands are as follows: Wakaranai, Shinkan, Aizukurimu, Asterysk* and Strange Orange. Here are the photos I took. I did enjoy taking photos of these musicians in action. :)
For all Shinkan shots, I'd like to thanks Ms. Marielle for taking those photos while we're on stage. :)

I won't post all photos in this blog. But you can check this gallery for more photos:

To sum it up, I did enjoy the event. Very simple yet full of fun. It seems that it focuses more on what the event can give to the attendees and not on what they can earn from them. Kudos to the organizers of this event. It was indeed very successful.

Again, here is the full gallery of the photos I took for the event. See yah again next time ^_^
