So glad that I have gone there...but too bad I did not bring a long my camera, lucky for me I was with Da and he had brought his iPhone 3Gs along...so I went around suntec and took a lot of pictures...anyway conclusion you must bring along a good camera when you go for AFA!!!
First thing that we attended was the viewing of the new Inuyasha for Animax...quite interesting...always like this anime....
After which we attended the AFA 09 Day 2 – Kaname Cosplay Panel Session of Kaname, a renowned Cosplayer of Cloud Strife from “Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children” (quoted from the official website)...He's dressed up as CLOUD....WOW he really looked like he walked out from Final Fantasy VII!!!!! His hair looks exactly like the drawings...and ontop of that each strand is at the correct place...amazing!!! amazing!!! amazing!!! (and of cos made all the "Cloud" cosplayer look very ugly and no standard LOL)
Another amazing thing I learnt from his talk is that his hair "stick" to position using tons and tons of "fake eye lashes" glue...OMG how much of those must he buy just to look so great!??!!! I wish I can see him face to face and feel the texture of his hair keke...
Pictures below taken from witchyelphaba.deviantart.com and www.cosplay.com/ (apologies I have edited one of the images) OMG!!! If you are interested to see more you can visit naokoko.multiply.com there are more of his photo there!!!!
At 1pm, we relunctantly went and took lunch at Kushinbo (talks not over yet...sob sob...moving out of our wonderful position infront of the stage before the end of the talk and there were so many people crowding and standing behind just to catch a glimps of "CLOUD")...any way Kushinbo's a cool place...they are serving buffet...ate whatever I like...since it's Da's bday, J1 & J2, C1 & C2 gave him a treat (which includes my share as well!!! OMG ha ha....)
We went back to AFA 09 again...this time round I finally had a good look at the maids cafe: "Moe Moe Kyun Maid Cafe"...WoW there were so many people lining up just to go in there to have a sandwich (which I saw most of the people ordering) I heard that the maid in there serving are all Japanese girls (real ones...) Cool...No wonder people are lining up just to go in even though the charges there is so high...oh ya talking about that I've read a most interesting blog on Maids Cafe on niBBlezware.blogspot.com...
We happen to meet A. Hill (my auzzie friend), and he was very disappointed cos he thought that there will be sale of anime during the festival....but the collection of anime sold there were limited...sigh...(I agree) The anime I find in shops are so over priced...I just hope that Singapore will sell cheaper ones so that all can be able to enjoy them..
I found out the winner of the Cosplay competition is a Gundam....so many people were crowding around this one!! Trying to hard to get a good picture of it (dunno is a he/she)....can you imagine there were lights from it? its like a real robot!!! best part the winner gets a sewing machine....keke....wonder what "Gundam" will use it for since the costume used is not made of cloth...hee...
I went around and took some more pictures different cosplayers...there is this cute little rabbit girl giving out pamphlet...
A couple of girls....I like this one most cos they look very beautiful....really beautiful....just hope that the "guy" is actually a guy...cos "he" looks a bit soft/feminine in the whole picture...
I happened to pass by another grp of 2...when they suddenly pose...the guys around keep saying "swee!! wow swee!!!" (meaning very beautiful!)
This lady was surrounded with guys trying hard to get a picture of her....she was technically wearing a bra and a piece of cloth around it....very nice indeed...(Found out that niBBlezware.blogspot.com had a better picture of her even though the head wear is a little different...)
I will definately go for the next AFA =) Who will miss the grand display of free COSPLAY?? Can't wait to see Singapore improving in this aspect...
