The night of September 14, 2024, was fun and memorable at OTAKU GROOVE. Comic lovers, anime enthusiasts and video game heads came out like white owls to party together. Every part of the party was an experience to remember.
From the music to networking, I’m still reeling from the time I had. But just in case you want to get a clear picture of why you should mark your calendar for the next event, here’s a rundown of everything that happened.
Fun cosplay
When I got to OTAKU GROOVE, it was a high-fashion cosplay of Naruto, Spiderman, and other comic characters. A guy even had a katana. People showed up and out. I rate it like mad.
Lit music and DJ sets
There’s no party without a roof to raise. Laboomz, a DJ, kicked off OTAKU GROOVE and worked the audience to rhythm. Duby took over the second set. These guys’ electro and techno fusion with Afropop is sick.
Video games
I didn’t stay in one place. I danced a bit, still babysitting my drink, and moved to the video games section. There were multiplayer game options like Naruto and Mortal Kombat.
Free drinks
After moving around for a few minutes to look for familiar faces, I went to the bar, got myself a drink and kept my throat moisturised. Drinks flowed.
Networking
The space was filled with many young creatives willing to meet others, interact, bant, and share prospects and fun hobbies. From game designers to writers and talent managers, OTAKU GROOVE buzzed.
Runway models
The dance stopped briefly, and a few models walked around—very hot babes.
The Akuko shop
Inside the shop, one could find some of the coolest comic posters, books, shirts, hats, key holders, posters, rings, tote bags, emblems, etc. It’s like a pop-up for comic nerds.
Partied till early momo
As some people exited the party, some more people came in. We all partied until the early hours of the next day.
