Anime Fest Asia 08

Went there today, at suntec.
Reached at around 12, then i took a stroll around.
Within an hour i almost seen everything that was there.
Seriously, i was conned by their 'little akiba' ad.
I think almost all the stuff there can be bought in sg.
The arcade zone also nothing much,
only the competetions was nice.
Pretty intense for some matches where both sides could die
in one hit.
Then u can see which side more 'tactical' to deal the final blow.
Saw a Zangief very pro.[street fighter]
Then tekken i saw a King & Devil Jin v.pro too.
But of course the highlight for my trip today was not the arcades.
It was the cosplay part.
Saw some cosplayers quite nice, but others......

The cosplayers today were mainly cosplaying on naruto and bleach.
Not enough Code geass!
Somemore NO(100% never see) Kallen Kouzuki cosplayers.
I guess its not easy to cosplay Kallen.
OH well. Oh and NO ashford academy uniforms or and maid cosplayers!
This is where this cosplay pert failed.

Successes was that there were quite alot of cosplayers.
Thre was even a knightmare cosplayer who could barely walk.
There were also some quite nice ones like the Kisame one,
the bleach arrancar one, and the bwahaha scam quack medium
nigger bling guy from bleach.
I didnt bring my camera...alot of cosplayers that i could have
taken pics of.

Seriously the atmosphere created by this fest didnt give me the
epic feel that it was a festival.
It lacks that festivity feel...maybe becus there was too little
special stuffs sold or maybe its just their arrangement of stalls.

Oh yea there was also the cosplay mania where cosplayers acted
on the stage.
There was like 8 teams.
More outstanding ones were the ultraman one and the knightmare
cosplayer who hard a hard time climbing the stairs.

The graffiti area which allows people do draw on a board was cool.
All the good artists drew on the board, watching them draw seriously
discouraged me from drawing lols.
Made me realise how noob i was.

The shops also didnt have anything much they sold which appeals.
Maybe it was the prices, but most stuff could be bought in singapore.
So much for little akiba.
There was a maid figurine which was really nice...
but oh well...
They never sold much code geass models too.
Nothing special to buy there, maybe except if u are a gundam
diehard fan theres a Exia 1/60 trans-am limited ed.
But it was sold out already when i gt there.

After the anime fest, i headed up to the book fest on 6th floor.
Its just nothing but a really big bookstore.
Felt like buying some books but gt serverely discouraged after
i saw the queue.

Although there was the anime fest, the book fest was also quite
packed with people.
Guess its just different age groups of people at the different levels.

The trip is worth the $5 entrance fee if u are only going to sightsee.
Other than that the items sold were not very appealing,
you also must make sure the time u go in have some events held or
it will be plain boring.
If theres another next year im definitely going and bring a camera.
