ZANEC's FIRST GROUP COSPLAY PICTORIAL

ZANEC or the Zamboanga Anime-Nihon Enthusiasts Coalition held it's first group photoshoot last August 31, 2011 at the Butterfly Garden, Pasonanca Zamboanga City. The members of this otaku group created their own characters as the concept of the shoot was "Teachers and students wielding powerful weapons." The lot did well before the camera but a few of them really stood out:

Ino

Others were also great posing with their awesome weapons and with other characters. Of course, out-of-character-photos are sometimes the funniest!

This cutie is a killer? I don't think so. :3

The members of this otaku group definitely had fun. Hope to see you guys on our next shoot!

Getting ready for the taping. I took a few photos of the group. THEY ARE SO ADORABLE!!!
We were all cramming so you can see some cosplayers moving around. :p

Mikee and I took places in taking group photos. :)

I think I ruined this shot.

(NOTE: The studio had a bass guitar Mikee can borrow!! YAY!! A substitute Elizabeth!)

Because Elizabeth was soo awsm...

Enjoying each other's company...

Briefing time! The friendly hosts discussed the flow of the show. And after a little chitchat... PICTURE TAKING. LOL.

A few minutes before taping, the group went on posing for silly shots! :)

Mikee! No peeking! The show is about to start! :p

After that, they started the taping! GAH! I was very nervous. >_______< I really did not know what to say and was afraid that words will just slip out of my mouth without thinking!

Mikee was asking me for ideas on how she will pose in-character. And she did really well!! To think that she is a shy person. :)

And... uhh.. I did my best. :)

Sakura-chan kawaii!!

Whin was one fashionable cosplayer. :)

And the cosplayer who was in-character ALL THE TIME... Jeff!

Group photo! We were all in character.

The show went smoothly! Everybody nailed every question thrown to them. I barely answered well! Good thing nothing out of the norm slipped out of my mouth. :p
Whin was the best in answering questions... not taking any moment to think. Clearly she was one cosplayer with experience. Glad I made it through.

PURRU-KUN WANTS TO EAT US!! Rawwwr!!

Mio-chan! You left Elizabeth!! :)

Last few shots before changing our clothes...

Overall, it was a nice experience. The TRIBAMEDIA staff was very nice to us. The hosts were fun to talk with. We would like to thank our family friends for supporting us in our hobby, the members of our beloved ZANEC and of course, TRIBAMEDIA for inviting us. Thank you so much!
