I was browsing for cosplay details a few weeks ago then I came across a banner in cosplay.ph’s site advertising the Ozine Fest ‘07. I didn’t know what it was but it stirred my interest because it says there that I could win a Nintendo Wii. So I clicked it. I found out that this will be the third Ozine Fest in the Philippines and it will be held on April 1 at the SM Megatrade Hall. Ozine Fest is Otakuzine Anime Magazine’s annual event which features anime trivia, art contest, cosplay competition, eating contest (?!), karaoke contest, SD Gundam kit competition and speed drawing contest. Wow! That’s quite a list! And all this in one day plus prizes to be won? Another wow!

I excitedly tell Ali about it and told him that we should attend. Being an anime fan himself, he said we’ll definitely be there. Too bad they haven’t posted the availability of tickets yet. Only pre-sold tickets will get to be in the raffle. Prizes include Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Motorola Razr phone kits, and Kotobukiya Anime figurines . I sure would love any of that. Well, I just hope I could get tickets before April 1 so we wouldn’t have to line up along with other otakus out there. I’m sure it will be a jampacked event. Ali told me I should join the cosplay competition since I wanted to wear a costume so much. *lol*

For those interested to join the cosplay, you can check out the guidelines here. I got a more info from cosplay.ph. Their official website otakuzine-mag.com. isn’t much of a help. No info yet about the tickets. Some say that it might be available in Greenhills malls. Others say Comic Alley might have them. Oh well, maybe I’ll just ask the SM ticket office later if they know something. But I doubt that they do. I guess I should just wake up early on April 1 to avoid the long lines.

I wonder what do participants have to devour in the eating contest? Hmmm… Watch out for pictures.
