Event: Anime Festival Asia 2008 (22nd – 23rd November)


Anime Festival Asia ’08. Definitely THE anime event you should not miss… cosplay competition, marketplace (Bandai, Goodsmile, Medicom… and more XD), live performances, manga and anime…

Event: Anime Festival Asia ’08
Venue: Singapore Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre, Halls 403 and 404
Date: 22nd – 23rd November 2008
Time: 10.00 am to 9.00 pm

Daily tickets are priced at $5; to fully enjoy all the activities and events lined up, pay only $8 for a two-day ticket. Pre-registration is open. Hopefully they have better crowd and registration management this time. The Singapore Toy & Comic Convention 2008 (June) was held at the same venue and it was rather chaotic to much frustration of all who attended. I’m looking forward to it but sigh~ I’ll be one of the 80,000 expected willing “sardines” to pack the halls. Gaaah… I hate crowds -.-

Event: Indonesia Japan Expo 2008 (1st – 9th November)

Just returned from a short trip to Jakarta for the Indonesia Japan Expo 2008 www.indonesiajapanexpo.com Programs include fan art demo, cosplay competitions, J-rock Band performances, workshops for origami (Japanese paper folding), Ikebana (Japanese style flower arrangement) demo, Batik (Traditional Indonesian cloth) painting, etc. I enjoyed a pretty cool 3D show of the Shinkansen (新幹線) at the event but missed out the ghost house tho… there wasn’t enough time.

If you’re interested to find out about where to obtain original anime/BL goods in Indonesia, do pop-by this booth in Hall A to find out more. I bought 2 clear files from the booth. One of them is an out-of-print Junjou Romantica file and the other one is from Tsubasa Chronicle. Will post pics later XD

Besides publishing a free magazine on anime/manga/goods and Japanese culture kohaku-mag.com, they also feature an Indonesian online store 8orenji.com that carries only original goods, magazines, figures and doujinshi not easily available in Indonesia. Check it out too. Spend money wisely. Say “no” to bootlegs and buy original! ^^)b
