I am sorry to say that I am not sure whether this year is the third or forth year of C2AGE. Either way, I am pretty sure that I have only attended C2AGE twice and the memories remain fresh in my mind. Anyway, Haine will do the honor to review the event.

The venue had surprisingly done a great job at pissing me off. I know Hana and I are both have lack sense of direction but we have never EVER got lost this bad. EVER. Being an auditor who has gone so many places in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor for fieldwork and meeting clients, this is the first time I ever felt so ridiculously toyed and fooled and I am not impressed. My question would be- why the change of venue? I understand Help International School is rather big and spacious, provides more than enough locations for cosplayers and patrons to hang out and have photoshoots but seriously- why? I experienced an hour of lost and troubles and oh believe me I am not happy.
Management: ?
I was not even sure how to give my opinion regarding this. This is bad. We arrived around 1 pm and, to be honest, I felt like I attended school's day Hari Karnival Sekolah. My bad. The venue is after all at school compound, so I guess the school vibe is unavoidable. Anyway, let's not waste our time and... I just get to the point.
No interesting exhibitions from the event organizers.
Not many food stalls- stalls that sell PROPER food.
Lack of security - what if someone injured themselves at the court or behind the building?
No friendliness and good service
To be honest, the two years ago C2AGE had a better management. Don't compare the size of the venue.The crowd was three times horrible, with the venue so small and the guests caused the patrons went hysterical and turned into apes. Yet, the event organizer and team management to keep up good security and provided great help to people.
Oh and no survey and feedback? Huh.
Ticket price: ★
Okay, let me try to guess and sum up the event costs altogether. Venue, guests, facilities, event hall, management, utilities - RM 25. Being a girl who grows up in Kuala Lumpur and can spend RM 10 on an ice-blended, yeah that would be okay, but at least I am satisfied with the taste of the ice-blended.
But was I satisfied with the event at that price? Not really.
Don't say I am one tough kid to please. I can easily be amused by anything, if it is amusing. I enjoyed the eating competition and the performance, but that's it. Huh.
OVERALL: 1/5
Unlike Hana who practically takes even the smallest event of the universe like the first falling leaf during heat season as the most crucial event of her life, I don't exactly feel that way. The only reason I attend C2AGE is because of the sentimental feelings we both had on the event, for it was C2AGE that we found ourselves in love with cosplay once again after meeting difficulties to continue loving cosplay.
During the day, most of my memories filled with me and my friends trolling each other and that's that. Good events should include great memories that could connect me TO the event itself, perhaps mini outdoor games, shows and exhibitions. Known as COSPLAY, COMICS, GAME AND ANIME event, I was hoping the management to uphold the meaning.
You got cosplay related activities, but only on stage.
You got comics selling, but there are entirely on personal not organizer booths.
You got gaming area, but only to virtual gaming.
You implement everything with anime, but hardly anyone notices.
An event that made their patrons bring their own food, is not much of an event after all. An event is consider success if the patrons bring their own food either because they want to save their money to buy other stuff at the event or because they are too choosy with their diet.
When patron goes back home happy and satisfied with the event, that you know the event is successful. For now, all I can see is dark clouds over my head when people asked "How's C2AGE?"
Well, it's just for me I guess.

This review is based on one's experience and personal opinion and is not being influenced by anyone except self-observation and judgement. I was present during the event not as organizer, volunteer or anyone with special privilege and I solemnly declare that I will give out my best, true and fair view of the event.
