the long awaited day of the year had finally arrive.
i wasn't as kiasu as others who were at the event at 9+...
i was waiting for my friend at Dhoby at 11+ and saw people walking with huge bags full of anime merchandise and swords. *_*
we only reached Suntec at about 12.30-ish..
we had lunch and by the time we entered the festival grounds it was 1.20pm

| swords & brollies |
but many people still buy it..
for collection?
see the furry rabbit ear hat in the pic.
i saw many others wearing it too.. it's so cute..
but i was already wearing my neko mimi so too bad..
almost forgotten to add:
we went in to the main stage area for awhile, before we headed to the festival grounds.
I saw Danny Choo on stage!
he was interviewing Milky Holmes...
hearing him 'live' is so much cooler than just watching him on Culture Japan.
:)
on with the pics...

we didn't go inside here yet, we continued walking around the other areas..

 |
| not that i like her. the green octopus below is cute. is it supposed to be a amplifier for her keyboard? |
more nendroids...
 |
| kitty magnifying glass |
these are modelled after Milky Holmes, i think.
 |
| tummy! |
 |
| the pink one reminds me of Chobits |
i found the other photographers quite nice, in a way they are considerate to others taking photos.
they always stop and let others shoot...
i didn't take much figmas because i prefer nendroids...
 |
| megane power! |

haha...
 |
| don't mess with me! |
this one is so pink! ._.
 |
| cool~ |
 |
| say i'm cute! |
・‥…━━━☆・‥…━━━☆・‥…━━━☆・‥…━━━☆・‥…━━━☆
the next part, is a very surprising part of the trip.
we were unsure where to go after looking at the nendroids.
so as we were standing around this area:
 |
| NICO not the one that touches the walls :( |
they were showing animes...
there were many cos-ers walking around and as my friend stopped to snap some pictures.
i heard screams and commotion going on at the corner of NICO...
then i saw FLOW!
(i think the camera crew were touring the festival grounds and FLOW had just finished their appearance on the main stage area. they were heading to the back stage to rest and had to walk through the fest grounds. i heard them greet:"Good afternoon! We are FLOW." and something like that.)
my reaction was shock and tried to tell my friend that they were here...
only took this super blur picture of them..
 |
| FLOW-ing away to the backstage to rest |
sigh~ me and my terrible photography skills.
Keigo has the cutest smile...
during the Anisong concert..
i didn't know Keigo was the older brother, he and Takeshi (guitar)are brothers..
i have some more pics, will put it up later...
we went on to see the gashapon area...
 |
| no need to say right? |
 |
| gotta get'em all! |
 |
| doesn't he look familiar? he was here last AFA too! |
 |
| side view of the ship |
the other ship...
 |
| don't anger me or i will ram you! |
the last few years, Hatsune Miku was a hot chara to cosplay.
but recently, Gintama chara like Gin-san or the Shinsengumi have been very popular as well...
 |
| i got the eyepatch handphone cleaner... |
 |
| i want them!! |
 |
| robo keychains and Bleach |
 |
| can i buy one of these machines? haha.. |
・‥…━━━☆・‥…━━━☆・‥…━━━☆・‥…━━━☆・‥…━━━☆
i have a few more pictures of the fest but i think i will upload it in the next post with the Anisong review..
omygosh...
so much to remember... :D
oh yes, and psps... i saw a glimpse of yutaki...
if you don't know him, go google.
anyway, he was working as a butler in the Atelier Royale Cafe..
we were trying to look for two cos-ers as Gin-san and Kagura in the Gin-pachi sensei version.
so we walked around the Canon cosplay zone and the area behind the cafes.
there were many many cos-ers.. kind of got lost in the crowd.
so we just anyhow walked into the back area where many cos-ers were preparing their stuff.
the back exit of the Butler cafe was covered with a cloth.
i saw him!!
he's so handsome...
damn ikemen leh...
hurhur... so sad, i don't have guts to go into the cafe...
and not enough money...
okok...
shall go off now...
will be back again!
