Anime Festival Asia 2008 (AFA’08) Coverage – 23rd Nov 08

I wont be covering much on the 2nd day as the exhibits are pretty much the same.

The only difference is the cosplayers, more were here today as the cosplay mana competiton is today and the other difference is….LOTS OF PEOPLE.

Reaching there at 2pm, I was greeted by a lovely cosplayer who did Ranka Lee. Not that impressive but cute enough.

Together with my girlfriend, I had a walk around the convention hall again and her attention was fazed by a interesting “toy” by Bandai – a sushi maker.

this sushiware costs $49.90… :o

sushimaker… ;o

Sheryl Nome…

Ranka Lee

nice artwork

Everything was much the same and I didnt stay there for long, instead I went to Beppu Menkan Japanese restaurant for their ramen, aint shabby and it was refreshing before we went back up for the most important performance…. MAY’N’s concert. As the host requested not to take photos, videos or any recording (not as people will care, so many people just fired their cameras anyway) I will not be posting any photos of her in person but instead….

The crowd was almost tenfold the amount yesterday..yes..from kids, to young people to working adults and even old people.. (wtf?) were there to bask in May’N’s songs. My only complaint ? damn…it is a $8 ticket , cant complain much about the speaker quality…zz
