Not everyone is an otaku but I’m sure the Filipinos have heard about anime.
From cosplaying to band playing , this event has been continuing successfully for the past three years. A once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience anime throughout the day even if the event is held every year, each one is unique and makes a memorable moment.
The event features cosplaying competition, j-rock bands , maid cafe’s , workshops, studios and many more. It also has special , International guest cosplayers such as Ashley Gosiengfiao , Alodia Gosiengfiao and Karael Sanguis etc.

You can hardly move in the second and third floor of the SMX Covention Center because of the number of people flying in and out of the doors, up and down the escalator it’s best to go there early so you can watch several events .
Last year, about ten thousand people went @BOA 2013 so who knows how many people went this year? .
Everytime this event is held , it is improving and improving so your Php 250 is not a waste!Actually, it’s pretty “Sulit” to purchase , only 250 pesos for all the fun!
According to the guests, they have experienced a fun- filled and they would like the organizers to add more cosplayers , they would also like to know when the next ‘Best Of Anime’ will take place.
What people can to say about BOA 2013:
“Really, Really fascinating. Going there was like entering the anime world”

“ Dressing up for an event like this is really a fun way of making new friends. You can take pictures with every cosplayer which is like, endless..”
~Angelica
“The cosplayers were approachable and kind, a great time talking, taking pictures, videos , etc. With them.” ~Prinz
"BoA 2013 has been the most epic mos epic anime/cosplay con that I've attended. Anime is my passion, even if cosplaying takes a lot of time, money and effort the satisfaction and happiness that you get when you portray your fave chara is priceless. It is definitely NOT stressful, because cosplaying is a stress-reliever, it gives me the opportunity to take a time off from this reality. And BoA 2013, definitely served Its purpose of giving Its audience the break that they need. (Plus I got to meet and kiss xD my fave foreign cosplayers. " ~Alyssa
