Speaking of signs....

Spoiler:

Only loot I got besides a Reimu wall scroll

Keiko's signature is pretty hard to make out...it's actually quite interesting trying to decipher Japanese signatures...

[Azuma Denton]

How come you get all the sign?? O.o

I bought tickets for 9 people....we shared our signs

More seats = higher chance of hitting

Kalafina's were from the CD though. Buy CD and they sign together with the poster. My friend took the poster

Anyway, uploading my photos a little at a time, 1st up, the booths at AFAMY

Artwork from the doujin booths:


Poor artist


The Mirai BMW on display at Danny Choo's booth


Yes, they were selling uniforms in there, although the sizes look too small to fit anyone


And the 'infamous' BL booth


Next up, the stage area events:
Danny Choo's product, MoeKana and MoeKanji (for sale at RM$50 per pack, I didn't buy it):


If they are making this, I'm going to buy it


Max Watanabe (From Max Factory, which produces Figmas) and Takanori Aki (of Good Smile Company) being interviewed by Danny


Team Ukyo, which races with Miku and Mirai livery on their car in the JGTC:
Miku livery for 2012:

And sponsorship chance, you get a Nendoroid and member card I think


You have no idea how close I was to buying this (RM$328)


Mitsuhisa Ishikawa, president of IG Studios, being interviewed and presenting some CMs of upcoming projects

[Cosmic Eagle]

Did you see the Danny Choo doll? Fucking creepy...imagine that at your bedside

He did say he was making the TAG card no? Would be of use if you frequently drive up to Malaysia...

Any of you watched the (showings of) awarded animations before the interviews of the boss of Production I.G.? Most of them are quite weird (for me). Up until they showed the edited OP video of Madoka Magica.

Kinda hilarious that somebody 'Woooo'-ed when it began to play. (Actually I was 1 of the person that 'Wooo'-ed on it, because some of the animations made me sleepy )

That's too bad. Now I'm a bit worried about AFA Indo here... :s most likely I won't bother with the concert since none of the artists line-up so far interest me. Besides, going to the capital (where it'll be held) alone is very expensive for me

The doujin booths caught my interest wish I could have the skills like them.

Thanks for the reports and the photos glad you all have fun over there. Hopefully this'll be held annually in the future.

[Cosmic Eagle]

I'm sure there will be 3 AFAs per year from now on...

[TinyRedLeaf]

As expected, my photos can hardly be compared with JokerD's.
But for what they're worth, here are some of them:

Queuing up for our tickets. JokerD spotted the express lane for
users of Canon cameras. No luck for me, for reasons stated earlier.


We had to cross a "river" (Sungai Batu) in a somewhat sleepy corner of
Kuala Lumpur to get to the exhibition area.


It was an early Saturday afternoon, but the turnout was already great
and the atmosphere, vibrant.


Needless to say, there were dolls a plenty, both of the plastic and human
variety. (We've got to get our priorities right, man.)


Motorheads could also dig Danny Choo's itasha and the livery of
Good Smile Racing's Team Ukyo.

Team Ukyo, incidently, were racing in Sepang that day, and they
are a force to be reckoned with. Their Miku-themed car won the
2011 Super GT championship, and had the honour of being designated Car 0.

By the end of Saturday's preliminaries, both of Team Ukyo's cars had qualified,
with Car 0 finishing fourth. The second car was Mirai-themed.
Find out how you can be a personal sponsor of the team.
You may get a special edition Hatsune Miku nendroid.

Others, however, may prefer wings over wheels.

OK, that's it for now. I have some photos of cosplayers
to share but, as usual, JokerD has the lion's
share of the better photos.
I'll leave this for now.


The guy won the prize for best costume at AFA Malaysia.
Kaname presented him the award, with a "kiss".

Well there is someone here who says he would hit on Aimi because she has short hair, short skirt and zettai-ryouiki .

That aside, since Joker has the most professional camera amongst us, I suggest that we get him a Pedobear costume for this November...... would certainly compliment his camera.

We can then invite Asuki members to identify themselves with the cape bearing the acronym POMF (Protect Our Mini Friends) with pedobear as our mascot!

Her promotional image on the AFA Malaysia site really doesn't do her any justice. I mean, go to this page and just compare the top picture of her with the video clip of her at the bottom. The look and feel is completely different.

The shorter hair somehow makes her cuter. She looks sweeter, bubblier and friendlier, in a girl-next-door kind of way. In other words, totally the kind of girl I would hit on, given the chance.

That said, her debut concert (it was the first time she appeared on a big stage in front of a live audience) sucked. The choice of songs didn't suit her voice. She was drowned out by the music and couldn't project herself. She had zero stage presence and would have been totally forgettable if she hadn't been such a sweetie. The crowd was tremendously supportive, though, of course, no one asked for an encore, unlike for Maon Kurosaki, who performed before her.

Agreed.

Aiyah, if we seriously want to meet forum friends, we should make a flag or something that would mark us out right away, and not get us arrested or thrown out by security.

Wait wait wait, when did I become the lolicon, wasn't it you who prefer them instead. (I like boobs btw, loli = no boobs = me no likes)

But how would I operate the camera controls while in the costume, it would be better for TRL to get one so he can have an excuse to cuddle up to kids.

More photos tonight, provided I don't get caught up in Diablo 3 farming

Time man, time....In time she may become like Lisa....I mean she's practically a mini version of her.

More high-profile songs would also be good. And about being drowned out by the music, well, screaming your lungs out isn't much fun either if it bursts your ear drums in the bargain. The amps at these events should really be toned down. When Kurosaki sang something as relatively gentle as Magic World it still felt as sharp as rifle fire wtf....

Nope, you're not the only one. I was also able to get the ticket as soon as I went inside PWTC, about 3 pm (first day, went to there by LRT after just checked-into the hotel).

By the way, here's the loots I got during this 2 days:

Spoiler for Images:

1 unused lightstick provided by organizer for VIP ticket on 2nd day's concert + 3 Aria keychains + 3 gashapons (Arakawa UtB, HanaIro, Lagrange each)

After I opened the gashapons,

Left: Nako (HanaIro)
Middle: Chief (Arakawa)
Right: Madoka (Lagrange)
