CON REVIEW: Pinoy Otaku Festival 2019 [05-17 to 19-2019]


Finally it's the final part of my POF highlights and this time I'm going to tackle the last year's edition with the theme of "Asobi," or play in Japanese!

The con had moved to its new venue, Robinson's Novaliches, and for the first time that it'd be a three-day con than a two-day one. The activities were still the same with the exception of the battle of the bands and the two-sub karacons from the 2018 edition, but adding a new sub karacon which was the Ultimate Karaoke Royale.

In terms of my cos lineups, it was east meets west this time as I cosplayed Rio Kuroki and the 13th Doctor, who were also both debuted from the past year, for the weekend session only. 



The 2019 edition marked the 3rd time that I joined the YCSF, this time singing the KiraKira PreCure A La Mode opening theme, and my 1st KRB appearance with AKB48's "Heavy Rotation" in a brilliant friendly contest with my mates in Team OKE.




Not only myself, my elder brother was one of the panelists about the local idol scene and speaking of idols, Ivy! Musume, CH4U, JAPH Dolls and Aidoru Sozai made their own oozing numbers the now 3-day POF. Though a bit lost about the exact venue but overall it was a very nice change of view as well considering the more spacious way and a twincool experience!



As of this moment, I'm still cleaning my backlogs from last year, so it'll be taking time before finally posting my POF 2019 vlog so please bear with the WIPs.

And that concludes my Pinoy Otaku Festival experience highlights! Hope that you've been taking back into the past and how the con itself expands over the years. Till then, see you all in POF 2021! 😊
