UBCAni x Kitsune Cafe: 2016 Cosplay Cafe!

Hey all! Ushio here. Yubi-chan is away, so I’ll be taking over for now. Oh, and sorry for the late post…this week was a busy one…(not to mention there was an update to my favourite game (•̀ᴗ•́)و)

Anyway, let’s talk about this year’s Cosplay Cafe…

This year, our cosplay cafe was hosted in collaboration with Kitsune Cafe, and we managed to obtain a super cool venue – the new Great Hall, located in the Nest.

Shiny, roomy, and blindingly bright!

Despite the treacherous “Raincouver” weather, soon the cafe was overflowing with customers. Thankfully, we had some really fancy people – er, servers – on hand to provide our guests with tasty treats!

We were also graced with some awesome performances, and had various activities to entertain guests! Thanks to our MC, roux♪ for hosting! (Check out her Youtube channel for some great music and covers)

There were many great performances, including some piano music from our DoC, Phillip!

There were a bunch of fun games that customers could play with hosts and servers!

Wait, isn’t that…

Y – yubi-chan?!? What are you doing here?


It’s alright Tano-kun! Everything’s under control!

Back to the post! We had some wonderful visitors hailing from distant lands, some scarier than others…

Sigh.

Well, sorry for the long post, but it was truly an extraordinary event. Thanks to the organizers and staff for the incredible amount of hard work which made this event possible! And again, thanks a TON to all who came to visit us – it was fun serving you and we hope you had lots of fun too!

Have a nice week, and hope to see you again next year!
