Lots of cosplayers joined the cosplay competition. While the audiences enjoyed the auction lead by Sir Pablo, the founder of Cosplay.ph. Because of the crowded event, you can notice and see pairs of the same cosplayed character, like Panty and Stocking cosplay from the anime Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt and Suckerpunch cosplay.

I cosplayed Tsukasa Hiiragi from the anime Lucky Star. Thanks to Meijen for the costume. Still my current costume at that time is not yet available. Unlucky, I wasn't able to join the cosplay competition due to the costume arrived late. XD

| Tamashii Con of DLSU's Official Poster |
Tamashii Con: Reviving Japan's 80's and 90's, the word "tamashii" was used because of randomness and its awesomeness to emphasize our aim which is "reviving Japan's 80's and 90's". It is an event that would educate us by tackling Japanese culture from then to now.
De La Salle University's Nihon Kenkyu Kai is a professional organization for International Studies majoring in Japanese subjects and culture. On March 19 2011, the NKKi together with Anime Alliance and the Literature Circle, held a Japanese Pop Culture Convention at SM Megatrade from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm, entitled “Tamashii Con.” This convention is a large gathering of like-minded groups and individuals celebrating popular culture and its influence in society through such activities as contests, talks, events, the selling of products, and the like. Of course, this involved the inclusion of anime, cosplay & otaku culture.
De La Salle University's Nihon Kenkyu Kai and Literature Circle, in cooperation with Anime Alliance Philippines brings the Tamashii Con - Reviving Japan's 80's and 90's.

The cosplayers were also minimal. But the event was obviouly successful because of it's well managed program. Their auction was kinda boring because the items were too expensive. The hosts were really speaking straight english! XD What's more cool is when Sagashimono performed on stage, the audiences were really amazed :)
