Rikuo Nura, the grandson of the great Nurarihyon is entitled to be the third heir of the Nura Clan. Rikuo loves yokai, he adores them. In fact, they have tons of yokai in their mansion, all part of the Nura Clan, the one that his grandfather and his father, Rihan formed. All three of them, worked hard to become the Lord of Pandemonium.
When he was still young, the stories Nurarihyon told him about his great journeys with his Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, made him idolize yokais. He also dreamt of becoming the Lord of Pandemonium and the Supreme Commander of his own night parade. But this adoration made his school life miserable, for whenever they have discussions about yokais, he always shares to everyone that his grandfather is Nurarihyon and that their house is filled with them. His classmates ends up laughing at him. But one incident change everything, for the yokais he loved where really monsters, monsters who devour children and eat people. He didn't believed it a first, no until Nurarihyon introduced him to the whole clan. That's when he found out that it was real.
Until now, it is not clear if he is a yokai or a human. But all he wants is to fight for the safety of both yokais and humans.
The photo is epic. It really captures that medieval facial mood of the yokai Rikuo. The pose is great. Although, it would be great if they could have a shoot at a lily pond with cherry blossoms falling? But still, a great shot, great cosplay.
"My name is Jack Frost and we're gonna have a little fun."
Jackson Overland "Jack" Frost is an immortal supernatural being much like the Guardians. Unlike the others, however, he is a loner, the classic rebel without a cause, sarcastic and mischievous. He has incredible control over ice and the cold. He is a spirit of games and fun times, but when at last he discovered the purpose behind his amazing powers, he became a true Guardian, representing Fun.
Jack Frost is a mischievous teenage hellion who has no interest in being bound by rules or obligations, and just wants to spread his winter magic for the sake of the personal amusement of himself and children. Despite these traits, Jack is also gentle and generous.
"I've been around for a long time. My name is Jack Frost. I love being on my own. No rules. No responsibility. It's as good as it sounds."
Jack Frost cosplay by the great and awesome Liui Aquino. The great thing about this is that he looks a lot like Jack Frost, seeing from his close-up screenies online. Though I would like to comment on his pose here, since I haven't seen a Jack Frost cosplay with the Jack-Frost-skating pose like the one in the movie posters. But all in all, the photo's great, the tree and everything is perfect. But the jeans,, oh the beautiful jeans. I pity the jeans.
"You don't want me. You're all hard work and deadlines! I'm... snowballs and fun times. I'm not a Guardian."

First of all, I just wish that Animax would bring AFA in the Philippines. Now, I was very excited the first time I heard the news that there will be an anime/cosplay convention sponsored by Animax.
When we got there, at around 10:50 AM, we hurried and looked for the carnival already because we are really after the Premiums. Also, if you are in the first 500 participants, you'll be able to enjoy the games and items offered by the Animax Team. There were the Tic-Tac-Toss, Smash the Can, Ring Toss, Coin Toss, Hook & Fish, and the Balloon Pop. Although me and my friends weren't able to play all the games(its because every voucher is entitled for 2 games at maximum only and you are to choose if you want the dubbing booth, or the photo booth- somehow, my friends were able to play 3 games, but I only got 2).
It was a lot of fun. There were tons of amazing stuff, by the way, we won Canvass Tote Bagsssss(yes, we had a lot of it), Fam Lanyards, and a Fam Notebook.
Now for the review...
When we got there, only those who intentionally went there was there, no passersby. But when we returned about an hour after, the people doubled. Lunch came and when we returned, the place was filled with people and the Animax team had to close the event area because it is already overcrowded.
There's this white Christmas tree towering in the middle of the event area, which made the place look even smaller and cover the views from the other floors of the mall. It's hard to move around and its quite irritating.
As I said earlier, they closed the event area for being over crowded. Maybe it would have been nice if they made the vouchers tickets for the entrance. Since the passersby came in and took the seats. It's pretty rude even though the event is free admission. Too bad we got locked out, we weren't able to go to the Photo booth, which obviously had a very long line. Didn't I mention that you can borrow the attires there and have it while having your picture? -ENVIOUS-
Now, let's rate the event:
Organization: 5/5
They are really organized and they are obviously well-prepared for the event.
Conduciveness: 2/5
I would love it even more if they did on SMX Convention Center, just like Cosmania '12. The Christmas decoration made it even harder to move around. They had to curve the lines just so the people can fit while lining up.
Event Proper: 4/5
The policy of free admission really ruined my day. We got locked out. Is it something I should be happy about? OBVIOUSLY NOT.
Hospitality: 3.5/5
The facilitators/moderators in the booths were nice. EXCEPT from the guy near the Christmas tree who was taping the event. I ACCIDENTALLY tripped over his tripod and immediately said "Sorry." and he answered me, "'Di lang nakakakita?(Are you blind?)" which is very very rude for me for I was humbly taking the blame already and he gave me that attitude. Eh kung sabihin ko sayong "Sorry kuya, sorry". Tanggap mo yon? Kidding aside, it's nothing serious, I just thought of it from the infamous, AMALAYER.
