Comic Con Africa 2024

Nekobara was at Comic Con Africa 2024 representing AnimeFanatika and what a blast it was. Below are some more details of Nekobara’s magical trip to Comic Con Africa 2024.

Comic Con Africa did an incredible job providing all kinds of fun, geeky activities. To the left, there was a Squid Game challenge, while on the right, the KFC Spicy Chicken Challenge drew brave participants. Anime fans enjoyed dedicated meet ups, like the Demon Slayer group, Genshiken group, and One Piece meet up. These Anime meet ups are fantastic experiences for anyone interested in beginning their cosplay journey.

For those who love Japanese culture and tasty snacks, be sure to check out the new local store, Market Kokoro!

The cosplayers that really caught my eye were the following :

Jack and Sally - The Nightmare Before Christmas 

Cosplayer - Mystic Misfit Cosplay

Mystical Misfit Cosplay and her partner were looking Spooktacular in their beautiful handmade Cosplays. One aspect of her ball gown that I especially enjoyed was the beautiful combination of colorful fabrics, which blended together perfectly.

The Great White Witch

Cosplayer – Shadowfox

Shadow Fox cosplay did an amazing job with her take on the Great White Witch. The gorgeous white witch hat has really beautiful trimmings and the staff lights up fantastically. What I really love about the cosplay is how magical the atmosphere becomes when she lights up the staff.

Elphaba - Wicked (2024)

Cosplayer- Gene the Sea witch

Gene the Sea Witch has brought this beautiful Elphaba character to life! The spiral fabric is phenomenal, and I especially love the detail in the witch hat. Every part of this cosplay has been crafted to perfection.

Mileena - Mortal Kombat

Cosplayer- Comigeko

Comigeko has brought this stunning Mileena to life. I love the combination of Japanese fabrics with the striking pink armor and the spooky skull details on the shoes, which capture the true essence of Mortal Kombat. Comigeko loves creating his own unique versions of each character.

Feixiao - Honkai Star Rail

Cosplayer - Highlord Rob

Highlord Robcosplay did an excellent job bringing Feixiao from Honkai Star Rail to life. What I love most about this cosplay is the incredible effort put into capturing every detail of the character. Highlord Rob’s skill shines in the way he meticulously crafts each element to perfection.

Violet Evergarden

Cosplayer – Lillie

Lilliecosplay brought tears of excitement to my eyes with her Violet Evergarden cosplay. For all the anime fans out there, this show has touched so many hearts and souls. What I love most about her cosplay is the gorgeous attention to detail—like the lace trim on the skirt and the amazing craftsmanship on the cyborg gloves. It’s all so beautifully done!

Ratchet - Ratchet and Clank

Cosplayer – The Curious Tiger

The Curious Tiger did a phenomenal job creating Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank. He put so much effort into every detail, bringing the game character to life. Besides the amazing detail, what I really loved was how cool Clank the robot turned out. The whole prop has such a smooth texture and an incredible paint job too!

Hatsune Miku - Strawberry Miku

Cosplayer – Kearbear Cosplay

Kearbearcosplay has created an incredible Strawberry Miku. The amount of hand stitching and sewing she did is mind-blowing. What I love most about this cosplay is the beautiful hand embroidery and the incredible detail she put into it.

AnimeFanatika would like to thank all the cosplayers that gave us permission to post their pictures on our site, and we are looking forward to seeing what super sugoi cosplays you will envision for next year. See you at Comic Con Africa 2025
