Another event that i was not about tomiss out was of course Anime Fest Asia 2009. This time it was slightly different some said for the better some said for the worse but nevertheless i did enjoy myself at the event. Although i must say i did had a tad more fun the previous year (Unlike some others who expected the heavens just because they are a paying customer... reality check assholes, WE ALL ARE.)
Managed to reach the place in time along with Javern to catch the Cosplay competition. This time there were actually representatives from all different parts of the world involved in this. The 'Gundam guy' took part as well and as expected won the competition. Congratz to him but frankly speaking i was kind of hoping that for once it was someone else who won the competition.
I personally liked the 'Witchblade Girls' who reenacted an entire anime scene of the above mentioned cartoon. Celebrity cosplayer Kaname was one of the guest judges for the event and it was cool to see him in his different Garbs.
I didnt manage to get the concert tickets for this year for the I love Anisong showcase but imagine my thrill when Shoko Nakagawa made a guest appearance for a meet and greet prior to the concert. Managed to take a quick snap of her just as she was about to leave.
Iris joined us slightly later and was keeping a lookout for her toys and stuff. Left the event a happy person but not bfore grabbing a Ichirou Mizuki Tshirt for Bro!
