This event kinda slipped under my radar. I was having a pretty busy week and I only managed to check out the Comic Fiesta held at Berjaya Times Square around the evening. Admission was RM 15 but since I was already running late I decided to just hang around the lobby area and snapped the cosplayers chilling outside the main exhibition hall. Check out the full gallery here !

It’s been a very busy month for me but I’ve finally uploaded the rest of the Cosplay photos from Day 2 of the AFA 2010. There are still figurine photos which I’ve yet to process but I’ll take my time with those, so the meantime enjoy the rest of the Cosplay gallery here.

Cosplay photos from Day 1 of my Anime Festival Asia 2010 trip is up ! Check it out here.

Just got back from Singapore over the weekend. It’s been a blast over at the AFAX. This year’s event is definitely bigger than the last with many more cosplayers around this time. The crowd is just simply overwhelming and everywhere was just swarming with visitors and photographers snapping away at some of the really impressive cosplays. I’m still going through the thousands of photos that I’ve taken and hope to post them up shortly along with my experiences at this year’s AFA, be sure to check back soon ^_^.

It’s back ! The Anime Festival Asia 2010 will be held on the 13 and 14th November 2010 at the Suntec City Convention and Exhibition Hall, Singapore. No other details have been released so far but rest assured that I will be updating this space as soon as new information emerges. Hope to see you folks there !

Comic Fiesta 2009 is one of the liveliest and funniest anime convention which I have attended this year. AFA 2009 was grand, but CF 2009 was just zany and everyone was there to have fun and enjoy themselves silly. I attended the second day of the CF 2009 but didn’t manage to check out the other activities held during the event. The number of doujinshi booths, stalls and sponsorships this year clearly shows how much CF has grown in scale. Cosplayers were aplenty and the detail put in some of these costumes were simply amazing.

The Solo Cosplay event was held on that day and it was won by someone cosplaying as Kirin from Monster Hunter. Her final sketch coupled with the remarks from the hosts had the audience in stitches. Towards the end of the stage events, they played a number of popular dance tracks and  everyone was invited to join in the fun. I’m sure everyone had a great time there, the CF team definitely did an excellent job. Can’t wait for CF 2010 !
