Fancy Frontier 47 ran August 21-23 at Taipei's Huabo Park. Rain hit the first two days and briefly suspended outdoor shooting. Cosplayers came from Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and Southeast Asia. The feature spotlights nine cosplayers in Brown Dust 2, FGO, Azur Lane, Honkai: Star Rail, Evangelion, DanMachi, and original elf and maid characters. The organizer extended its original short-form manga and illustration award deadline to September 7.
The three-day event at Taipei's Huabo Park drew cosplayers from across Asia, and the enclosure shooting circles that define Taiwanese cosplay events kept forming even as rain forced a temporary halt to outdoor shooting on the first two days. Japanese cosplayers drew particular attention from Taiwanese photographers, who lined up to shoot them.
The organizer also used the event to push its original short-form manga and illustration award, extending the submission window to September 7. The 2025 edition's student winner, who took the illustration grand prize and an honorable mention in manga, had a new work on display at the venue.
