This post will be more of a photo dump, cos there's simply too many photos for me to comment on... but i'll tell you smthing, the cosplayers are getting better and better each year! ^^ enjoy the custumes!

Hi, people! Ren here. Sorry for the delay in posting AFAX stuff.. had 2 mock papers for JLPT last week and the real deal is this coming sunday.. hafta pull my socks a lil.. XD Anyway, today's post will be on the Regional Cosplay Championship 2010 held at AFAX! As usual, i'm super far away from the actual stage. Altogether with low lights, action movements, i'll have many blurred photos.. pls bear with it. OTL If you're can't stand the blurred photos, the results are at the end of the post. XD The competition is judged by a few cosplayers.. Namely, special guests from Japan, Kaname & Aira, Philippines' Alodia and Singapore's Clyde. Let's start with the contestants!

Anime Festival Asia 2010 AFAX Part 3: Shops & Activities around AFAX

Part 3 of AFAX! Halo pple, ren here... Today's post will be abt some of the stalls and activities that's held during AFAX.. This year has a little more activities compared to last year.. so hopefully goers have enjoyed themselves... Let's go! ^^


-Stalls-

This stall sells mostly nendoroids and figures.. but those you see in the display cupboards are not for sale.. some of them are quite rare..

Anime Festival Asia 2010 AFAX Part 2: GoodSmile Company

Ren is BACK to bring the 2nd post coverage of AFAX. this time is the figures and merchandises produced by Goodsmile Company, GSC. Figure collectors will have no doubt in the quality that GSC has produced these past few years.. unfortunately the rising Japanese Yen and licensing problem is slow plaguing its distribution across worldwide.

Enough about that, this year's exhibition is different from last's. This year, its the local distributor that's holding the exhibition and not by Mr. Danny Choo, so you wun get to see all the Goodsmile products and the president of GSC, Mr. Akira running ard. But there's still some things to see nonetheless. Let's start! =)


-Nendoroids!-

Nendoroid Petite! There's Fate/Stay Night, Vocaloids, and Death Note characters here. these cuties are extremely poisonous.. lolx. 

Anime Festival Asia 2010 AFAX Part 1: Bandai

Halo pple.. ren here. Its time of the year again! tt's right, putting my JLPT studies aside.. Anime Festival Asia is back in Singapore again!!

3rd year running i presumed... it surely does draw alot alot of crowds from all over South East Asia. wooo. Before i give any of my own 'input' on this year's event, i'll give a brief introduction to AFA. As usual, AFA is 2days event, held 13-14 Nov, both saturday and sunday, where there's a relatively huge exhibition area and a single hall for live concert!

Exhibition area is where varies companies come together and show wad new products they have (actually singapore is real slow to see any 'new' products, usually 1-2mths after the news spread), and local distributors and hobby/anime merchandise shops gathered to sell merchandise to the public, usually having sale of 10% or more. There's also alot of activity areas for the goers to experience, i.e: Karaoke, Maid Cafe, Card Tournaments, Arcade etc...

The concert hall, on the other hand, holds a Pay-Per-View live concert each night featuring singers and bands from Japan, usually singing popular anime tunes. Its also used for talks given by special guests, topics could range from cosplay to blogging, business opportunities and so on.. and last but not least, the Regional Cosplay Championship is held in here too! Countries all over South East Asia sends their best cosplayers to AFA to compete, and the winners get to travel to Japan - all paid for!

Alrights, enough of introductions.. time for business. As before, like last year's AFA coverage, i'll break this event up in to several posts, mainly due to the fact that there's close to 300 photos.. it goes smthing like this..
