Cosplay Mania is in the books, having wrapped up at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay, Philippines, from October 2nd to 4th. But the fun doesn't stop there, as Cosplay.ph events continue before the 2026 season ends, starting with Cosmeet.

What is Cosmeet? Cosmeet is an elegant, cosplay-focused event featuring a lifestyle- and photography-centric gathering designed to immerse attendees in cosplay culture within a luxurious setting. It features elaborate photo ops, meet-and-greets with prominent local and international guest cosplayers, cosplay parades, fan fair booths, and interactive mini-activities.

This year's Cosmeet theme is Shimmering Sapphire as part of Cosplay.ph's Prisma Saga theme series. This highly anticipated convention series serves as a massive pop-culture celebration.

The event features the Ani-song It stage, where attendees have the opportunity to step into the limelight. During this dedicated anisong segment, registered fans take the stage to perform their favorite live tracks from anime, J-pop, and gaming.

There is also an All-Star Avenue, which features a dense roster of local idol groups, content creators, and regional cosplay figures roaming the upscale indoor beach club environment.
