OMG!

woot! sinong pede salihan na group for this event??? :lol:

^_^

Toei ba ang yuyu hakusho?...

Yu Yu Hakusho is from Studio Pierrot. Wikipedia has a list of Toei titles.

From my blog, The Mike Abundo Effect:
____________

Media companies shouldn't restrict themselves to encouraging individual cosplay. To maximize their brands' character rosters, they should encourage group cosplay.

That's exactly what Toei Animation Philippines is doing for their 20th anniversary: a group cosplay competition. Local indie game dev guru Ranulf Goss is providing ideas for the event, so I expect it to be pretty clueful.



He gets more animation outsourcing to the Philippines and he encourages media customer evangelism. Toei Animation Philippines GM Nestor Palabrica is da man.

eep...so much titles....

@organizers

it seems that you are still trying to figure out the cosplay rules, it's nice to know that you are the same people who were at UGG, those rules where nice, but I think it would be nice if you should take the Toy Con rules also into consideration^_^
