Conclusion
I have been writing about cosplay events in Malaysia since 2016, but juyst as a writer and not a cosplayer. I wish I could, and who knows, one day I might be a cosplayer here in Malaysia? And if you want to know a bit more, you can also read my article about Comic Fiesta in Malaysia in 2017. there’s also a nice video.
The above are the Cosplay and Anime Events Malaysia for 2022 and take note that the event may be retimed or even pushed to another date depending on the outcome of the GE15 or Malaysia General Election.
However, in most cases, these events will go as scheduled and don’t forget the core event which is Comic Fiesta 2022, which is the largest cosplay event in Malaysia. This wikk happen at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in mid-December.
