Finally, it's time for day 2 coverage of CF. Having already covered the booths and convention site in my day 1 post, this post focuses on the cosplay aspect of the event and my failtography.

I arrived later on this day, (sometime after noon) because I had some business to attend to in the morning. Upon entering the convention hall, it's straight off to snapping pictures of cosplayers.

Alfred was wearing a skirt for the day. lol

Some of the better Kuroshitsuji cosplayers there, IMO. Sebastian needs evil smile.

When Yoite was still pointing fingers, he would frown, no?

Day 2 featured the Solo category cosplay competition. There were tons of contestants- about 55 of them, IIRC.

This is how small the Krauser II cosplayer really was.

Trap Haruhi #2!

Soul and Black Star embracing each other and making a scene on stage. I lol'd

Asura cosplayer is awesome

Trap Lenalee! This is the third trap I've posted in my CF posts.

The crowd on day 2 was much larger than the crowd on day 1.

Loli Sheryl is cute!

Shinigami-sama also had a damaged mask, but I did not see him wear it.

There were several song performances by some cosplayers. Naturally, Sheryl Nome was one of them.


And strangely, Ranka Lee didn't give a solo performance. :(





Emcees playing some games with the members of the crowd. In this game, you had to be the first to fold the Foldees voucher into an origami paper crane.

This cute loli, Elsa, played as well, but she ended up folding a paper boat. ^^;

After the game ended, it was time to present the awards to the winners of the competitions. Though I did not get pictures of all the award winners, here they are:

Group photos on-stage. Because of rain outside, the roof was leaking at this point. lol

Though CF08 had officially ended, there were still some cosplayers I hadn't gotten photos of, and so I went around and hunted down took pictures of them.




As I continued to look for cosplayers, a familiar song started playing...

U-u-uma-uma!

And that ends my coverage of CF08. ^^

This was my first time attending the Comic Fiesta, and I must say, it was a very enjoyable event. To be honest, I had expected fail and such, but it turned out good. Definitely worth the entry fee. XD
