Went to End of Year Festival (EOY) today. 

Don't even know why I was there but i decided to go and take a look at the cosplay. 

Location.

Have to say that the Marina Barrage though it being a nice place and all with the awesome view, isn't the best place to hold a cosplay event. 

It was so got this afternoon I bet all those cosplayers were sweating in their costumes and wigs. (I was in t-shirt and jeans and was sweating like mad already) 

It started to rain in the evening and being in a open space isn't the best place either. Most cosplayers left when they saw the looming clouds and heard thunder.

In conclusion, there have got to be better places to hold such an event which would be more suitable and convenient as well (saw many cosplayers in their costumes taking the bus and trying to leave before the rain came )

Organization. 

It was not that bad. There were many stores selling Japanese goods and the ice-cream store sure was a hit in the hot afternoon sun. The performance were great as well. 

It was generally well organized and quite orderly. 

No trouble makers this time. 

Cosplays. 

Most of the people there were at AFA'13 as well (recognized a few people) and many were dressing up as the same character. 

As compared to AFA'13, there is a lack of variety and many sophisticated cosplayers were not there ( didn't see those robots/huge monster things )
I have to say that these cosplayers really put in a lot of effort in their costumes and make-up. (Kudos to the effort put in by everyone! ) 

In general, the event was a success with a great turn up. Lookig forward to the next cosplay event in 2014!
