For all those who are still wondering where I live, I'm proud to say I'm living in Bacolod City. I'm born and breed here. Most of the people in Bacolod are fond of FOOD. Yup! We're Food-lovers. But now that we're in the "BER" months, Bacolodnons start to anticipate the MASSKARA FESTIVAL, our local Grand Festival of Masks.
So what's with this Masskara Festival? How did it start? Well, it started when our hometown's sugar industry is not doing well and to boost the morale of the people, Bacolod decided to have this festival of masks to celebrate despite the rigors.
Now, it's been 32 years since that happened and we are now celebrating Masskara with more complex events and more locations every year. For one, there are (2) Main Locations in Masskara, the Lacson Area (Electric Masskara) and the Plaza Area. But we're not talking about Masskara, really~ Masskara is just the Festival where one of the unique events can be found. ANIMOTION 2011.
What is AniMotion 2011?
Actually, two Bacolod pioneer cosplayers decided on the name. There were a couple of names that were nominated for this event. Hachi-Con (8th-Con) and the like... But AniMotion won. AniMotion means, "Anime In Motion." This was then nurtured by 888 Chinatown Square and was made an Annual Event for Bacolod Cosplayers. It started last year 2010 and garnered 166 cosplayers.
The Bacolod crowd is still adjusting to this new modern performing art. Some Bacolod cosplayers opt to leave and compete in Manila because cosplay is very welcome out there. But despite this, most Bacolod Cosplayers still keep their hopes and look forward to the AniMotion event every October.
This AniMotion 2011, there are several additions to the competitions. The ABB (Anime Band Battle) was added and will be held in a different day. There is also the participation of ICE CREAM INDIE! This is the reason why I wrote and promote this event... :3 We'll be hosting an "ON-THE-SPOT MANGA-MAKING CONTEST!!!" Though, I must say... I'm still waiting for the mechanics from Oya-sama (Kouyuki).
Keep your hopes up, cosplayers and manga-lovers! Let's try our best to win Bacolods Heart! Leaving you with AniMotion2010 Pictures! Will post updates about the Manga-Making ASAP! See ya there!!!
Zooming off,
Shin Oe
