AFA08!!!!! SUGOI!!
I have an AMAZING announcement to make for all you Otakus out there who don't know yet.
SINGAPORE IS HOSTING AN ANIME FESTIVAL NEAR THE END OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!! Gasp. I want to faint of sheer insanity just thinking about it!!!!! A TOTAL MUST GO!!!!!!!!!! It's going to hold many "sections" such as: Anime Live, where like it's name suggests, we get to see many live performances for items such as new toys, animes, even LIVE MUSIC PERFORMANCES. And not those cheesy old ones. This is the REAL THING. THERE WILL EVEN BE FEATURED GUESTS THERE, like Koji Morimoto and Marimi Sakurai from Studio 4degrees. There will even be COSPLAYING! Anime Blockbusters, and we get to see kick-ass awesome behing the scenes stuff like storyboards and character designs!!! AND some of the BEST ANIMES ever. Planet Mech, a showcase consisting of a total Bandai P.A.R.A.D.I.S.E.. They have competitions, EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTS, and for all Gundam Otakus out there, an entire display which promises to blow your mind. Mangaka. Now THIS is where I go. Besides Akiba Town, that is. It features everything regarding Manga like sketches from the artists themselves and even Manga drawing competitions. You know I MIGHT just take part in the competiton. All in good fun of course. What's the point of going to the AFA if you don't take part in a competition or 2? Industry. The place where, quoted, " AFA08 will invite industry leaders to share their expertise and knowledge on content development and management." Is that cool or what? AND students who want to be part of the anime industries next time can also come here. I'm going~! AND FINALLY, not to mention probably the best part of all, we have Akiba Town, your one-stop place for all thing anime and Japanese related!!!!! They'll sell limited edition stuff, as well as collectibles you won't be able to get anywhere else in Singapore, so don't miss this area if you wanna get some rares. AND they'll also have an area previewing the latest anime game releases and console gaming area, so you might wanna stop by. Anyone at all interested in going, you can come talk to me on MSN. So far, only Sarah from KCS and Panda and Seow Ting from XMS are going. I hope to round up a few others so I won't be so lonely there. I mean, that's not gonna stop me from going anyway, but isn't it a lot more fun to have friends to talk to and yell things like "SO COOL!!!" and "YOU GO MAN!!!" and all those pretty whacked stuff? For people who aren't really Otakus much, just take this as a chance to hang out with me. Awaiting some replies SUPER eagerly~~~ Bye-nii! Details of AFA08: Date: 22(Saturday) and 23(Sunday) November 2008 Time:10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Venue: Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centure, Halls 403 and 404 Cost: 1 day:$5 2 days: $8 I know none of you are 6 years old, but just in case you decide to bring your little bros or sis along, children under 6 enter for free. |
