I told my good friend Dave that I will be there at 1:30 in the afternoon. Because of unfortunate events along the way, like I was caught in the rain in Tiendesitas because of a car show; arrive at the event around 3:30 I think which I received a hundred text message from my friend if I am going to the event or not.
The first thing that I observe is, the costume are not base on animes, mangas, western comics or cartoons; they are more on homegrown comic chracter which is good because there is an originality and also promoting our local talent's comic characters.
At the same time there are games, trivia questions which you can win prizes and concert from different bands; there is also some cosplayer withing the premises which you can take picture with them. The GTMACCON 2011 was successful and fun, so many spectators watched the event.
The said event was presented by SM San Lazaro and media partners Hero Channel
I hope next year there will be more events like this. Do I see a new culture besides Japanese and Korean?
Here are some of the images on the said event. Please do share this page to your friend if they are on the event.
