Conclusion

I started posting cosplay events in Malaysia in 2023 as I love photography using smartphones; therefore, since 2017, I have attended several cosplay events in Kuala Lumpur. Since then, it has become a small hobby of mine.

For cosplayers out there, have a great time and remember to be mindful when you are out there. If you are an organiser and wish to be listed here, please get in touch with me through the contact form.

This list of Cosplay Anime Events in Malaysia 2024 is compiled from various sources and sharted into one master list for your convenience. Again, I am not the organiser or affiliate of any of the events. I just shared this list with everyone, and if you require more information, please get in touch with the individual organisers using the Facebook links.
