Cosplay.PH returned with their third event of the year with Anime & Cosplay Expo (ACX) 2025: Raindrop Reverie, last July 19-20, 2025, at Function Rooms 4-5 of the SMX Convention Center Manila, Philippines.
Let us look at Setsu-Ani‘s point of view in this two-day amazing event of the raindrop reverie Cosplay.PH has brought to us.
The event doors open for both days at 10:30 A.M., allowing con-goers to line up early outside the function rooms on the second floor of the SMX convention center due to the weather during the 2-day event.
Line queue status as of 10:20 AM on Day 1 of ACX 2025
ACX 2025 Event Highlights
Tons of booths for this year’s ACX, as well as the return of the See Zones of Cosplay as the photo op booth.
We also managed to catch a glimpse of the stage activities on both days, including the Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest, Cosplay Karaoke Encore, Cosplay Contender, and Cosplay’s Got Talent, as well as the special performances of coMeTs and W-UNI.
ACX 2025 Special Guest Cosplayer and All-Star Avenue Line-up
Aside from the amazing stage events we managed to see during the two-day event, we also got to see Kanalyss‘s special Q&A segment on both days, in which she cosplayed Lili Rochefort from Tekken on Day 1 and Marcille from Dungeon Meshi on Day 2.
We also managed to take pictures of Kanalyss‘s interaction with her fans during her respective meet and greet sessions on Day 2.
