Three days of playtime in a bigger venue and more activities are what Pinoy Otaku Festival promises this year with their annual summer event. This coming weekend, NCPH and Red Cloud Interactive invites everyone to play with them at Robinsons Novaliches Trade Hall for this year’s POF: Asobu.
Asobu is the Japanese word for “let’s play” so we are sure to expect a lot of fun activities in this year’s event. The fan favorites Battle of the Bands, cosplay karaoke, and the cosplay competition will of course be there but leveled up, making sure that every attendee will have fun.
Being true to this year’s team, Pinoy Otaku Festival has a lot of fun and interactive games in stored for everyone. These include Art Attack, Karaoke Battle Royale, Fantasm: Interschool, POF 2019: Battle of the Bands, Your Cosplay Sounds Familiar, Cosplay Championship League, Otaku Bazaar and booths, and a lot more.
Not only that, there are more on-stage games that every attendee would surely love to join. These are games that we probably know but added with a twist of the fandom. These are Otaku Deal or no Deal, Anime Quiz, Otaku Singtunado, Otaku Singing Bee, and more.
Aside from games, panel discussions will also be held in the three-day event. Attend a panel and learn more about interesting topics and discussions the Otaku Community is facing today.
- Sexual Harassment in Cosplay
- Status of E-Sports in the Philippines
- How To Win Competitions
- Piracy and Anime Fandom
- How to Become A Successful Game Streamer
- What Does It Take To Be an Idol?
The topics sure are worthy of discussing and attending, as it is not only for cosplayers, but also for gamers and even for those who want to follow their dreams of becoming an idol.
With all these fun activities, special guests will be present to “play” and interact with the attendees this weekend.
Yogen, Gekitora, Hiro Saeki, and Gloco Gaming will be coming to participate. Attendees may also expect special performances from FREETIX, Kenjiru, and Neko Hunter Band. Rising in popularity, idols will also have their appearance and make everyone smile with their performance. We’ll be preparing our chants for Aidoru Sozai, AOS49, CH4U, IVY! Musume, JAPH Dolls, Pepper Keibu, Poly V, Sophia the Artist, Tanchikon, and Ureshii-san Tomodachi.
With just 100 Pesos per day, everyone can have the POF Asobu experience. VIP Passes for three days are also available for only 500 Pesos which include freebies and exclusive game participation.
As we all have fun in this event, POF also aims to help those who are in need. Proceeds will be given to Hands of Light and Hands of God Charity Work, which gives us another reason to have fun and participate in the event.
Pinoy Otaku Festival: Asobu will be at Robinsons Novaliches Trade Hall from May 16-18 (Friday- Sunday) for an all out enjoyment.
