Tease of a Mini Fiesta
“It’s… it’s not like I want to bring awesome ACG goodness to Penang!” – Mi, CF Mini mascot & tsundere extraordinaire.
Comic Fiesta is one of the largest anime convention in my country, and has run for about a decade now, of which I’ve managed to not attend any of them before… ^^;
Nevertheless I am preparing to attend one end of this year, after AFA of course. :3c
Announcing the CJCon
Coming this 17th and 18th of August in collaborations with Penang Global Tourism, the Culture Japan Con will be situated at the Straits Quay Convention Centre on my island…
Here’s the words of the man himself:
Twitter Campaign of an Extra Fate
Ever since the release of Type-Moon’s Fate/Extra CCC and suffered from the late delivery as well as the eventual arrival of the Virgin White Box, I’ve engaged in the JRPG on and off for the past few weeks.
Currently there’s a campaign/contest running on the official site of the game itself, which I forgot to mention for the past few weeks due to my dedication towards completing the game ^^;
Revealing the Culture Japan Con
Many quarterly Moons ago (Some time after Culture Japan Noon), the Ex-Dancing Trooper teased us with a possible otaku convention on my island this coming August…
Well it seems the rumour is quite true, as yesternight the man himself kinda announced it on his tweet! :3c
A Wonderful Hobby Preview of the Winter
Falls on the same day, Day 1 of the Lunar New Year also marks the day when major and amateur figure creators from all over Japan gathered in one large specialised event to show cast all their latest and upcoming releases…
The 17th annual Wonderful Hobby Life For You!! aka the Wonder Festival 2012 Winter bares its fangs poisoning would-be collectors and comrades alike!
世界のドルフィードリームの写真集
Thanks to the smooth negotiations between Volks and a fellow InnovaDDoushi, the submission for the Worldwide Dollfie Dream® Photobook is now underway…
The collection will basically feature over a hundred beautiful Dollfie Dream picchus of various InnovaDDoushi from all parts of the globe, fully endorsed by the doll maker giant Volks themselves! ^~^
Culture Japan Noon
When Danny-san announced the news some weeks earlier, it was an incredible surprise to all of us Islanders that he’s going to hold a CJN on our island!
To be held in the St. Joseph’s Novitiate at the Gurney Paragon, Penang, the gathering will begin at a rather odd hour: 1300 – 1800 on a Saturday (Thus Culture Japan Noon instead of Culture Japan Night… XDc)… 0_0
For the uninitiated, St. Jo’s is a heritage building made anew via reconstruction, and is now a hub for community events with rotsa restaurants surrounding it…
Procurement: AFA12の勝利品
Lots, booties, treasures! What event ends without any wallet-killing? XDc
Like many AFA before it, AFA12 too drained my in-store credits to its core… orz
Ever since I’ve got myself the Moekana cards back during AFAMY12, I’ve wanted to get one of those deck holders every Card Battlers been carrying around… Luckily a certain Uncle got them in stock at discounted price at his Kopitiam in the halls!
Got a couple of them, one for the Moekana and the other for holding the meishi I’ve collected… XDc
The holders come with a trio of extra Moekana card too along with a lovely paper bag!
Post AFA Syndrome: Culture Japan Night
After an incredible experience of merchandise temptation, lovely daughters and mouth-dropping cosplays aside, AFA12 has officially ended…
Well at least for most of them public. Enthusiastic comrades will not let the joy die down so easily… XDc
Metamorphosis: The Cosplays of AFA12
After the report on the exhibits and the gathering of lovely daughters of AFA12, it’s time to move on the next element of any ACG events: the incredible costumes of Cosplayers!
Oh wait that’s not a cosplay but an itansha!
But then again taking 50 steps backwards it’s technically a motorcycle cosplaying so it counts! XDc
AFA12の娘達: 藤原雪野の冒険と友達!!
In memories of a certain Dollfie Dream… Not! XDc
Many thanks to Yukino-chan’s papa, Tama-chan was invited to one of the biggest gathering of all her kind she’d ever experienced.
Debriefing: The Exhibits of AFA12
Grander in ambition with moar hall spaces, AFA12 is no doubt the biggest event yet over the South East Asia, rivaling the like of Anime Expo of the Western countries in scale!
Once again, giants of the ACG industry along with various merchants come together to pour in their resources in making this event a success!
The Preview of AFA12
The journey to the South has begun! AFA12 here I come!
What a great start for a day light’s breaker bidding me farewell as I’m heading towards my local airstrip to catch a ride upon the steel bird…
Packing up for AFA12
This weekend, I’ll once again travel down South for my annual pilgrimage to the island of the Fishy Lion for AFA12!!
Tama-chan was so restless for the past few days hopping around the room in excitement while I’m busy packing up for our trip. XDc
Strategic Planning of AFA12
T-minus 10 days left until the big day, the floor plan of the exhibition hall has finally been revealed!
Time to plan your attack route, fellow comrades! XDc
The Night of Culture After AFA12
Once again, Danny Choo-san of Culture:Japan fame will organise a special after AFA gathering for like-minded comrades to interact and have fun with one another, just like how Tama-chan had fun during last year‘s AKB48 night and earlier mid year‘s Pavilion gathering… ^~^
Held in the Orchid Room of Kallang Theatre, not bad a choice for a venue this time as earlier CJNs are way too crowded at time…:3c
Guiding an Event of AFA12
The shroud on the main stage events for the upcoming AFA12 has finally been shed…
As per AFA tradition, there will once again be a seiyuu special stage this time featuring Sphere members Tomatsu Haruka, Takagaki Ayahi, Toyosaki Aki and Kotobuki Minako!
Incidentally it is the second time Toyosaki Aki and Kotobuki Minako visited an AFA event, their first being during AFA09 as K-On! casts! XDc
Cinematic Contract of AFA12
It’s no surprise that the Puella Magi Madoka Magica franchise has earned its special place amongst the otaku community for the past two years, spawning many by-products like figures, manga and a couple of recap movies of the TV series currently screening all over Japan.
There’s also a hint that a second season is in the works after the 3rd original movie!
Being part of the featured anime in AFA12, guess what will grace the halls of the event itself?
An Invitation to The Teens
Last weekend spanning across both days, a graduation exhibition for a local design studio was held within an abandoned local shopping mall in conjunction with the Lost Gospel Cosplay Club…
During the event entitled “The Teens”, a cosplay competition and many ACG shinanigans will be held… ^_^
As a guest exhibitor, I was invited to be part of the event by none other than my own pal for many years, Donny Choo-san!
To my surprise, he is part of the LGCC and a cosplayer in the event too! 0_0
A Gathering of Dreamy Dollfies at AFA12
For the upcoming AFA12, the gorgeous musume-tachi of various InnovaDDoushi will once again grace the exhibition halls in display to curious and enthusiastic visitors!
On last count according to the organisers, there’ll be more than a hundred of confirmed attendance of them musume-tachi! 0_0
Ticketing of AFA12
A brief update on the upcoming AFA12!
Less than a Moon until the big day itself and my annual trip to the South! XDc
Dreamy Outfits for the 10th Moon
Unveiled during the September issue of Volks News, which incidentally doubled up as the 50th Volume since its publication, there will be an event this coming 20th… ^_~
Besides the Tenshi no Sumika Fair 2012/Cool Kyoto 2012 event., the October New Outfit Collection will be made available on Volks Website Store as well.
Expect rotsa InnovaDDoushi and campers to fight against one another for a chance to land some of these raburi raburi merchandise onto their musume’s hands… :3c
Electrifying Groovy Ticketing
The ticketing info for the Electric Goove: I Love Anisong Concert is out for the upcoming AFA12!
The concert will be divided into 3 separate mini concerts consisting of different line-up of artistes for different days~!
