Hey guys! AFA09 Day 1 JUST ENDED! How do you all think of it?
For me, AFA09 is just.. WIN! from the cosplay competition, the concert (day1), the cosplayers, the booths, dannychoo/storm trooper dance, and EVERYTHING ELSE!! including the make-up session =D
Summer Wars
First thing is Summer Wars preview and talk session.
This preview and talk session is pretty interesting as it’s directed by the same guy who did Toki wa kakeru shoujo, and other series (which i suddenly cannot rmb, i’m typing this at 8am in the morning -.-) They showed a small video of Summer Wars. And i was already, STUNNED,SHOCKED, everything that u can think of that makes u go UWAAAHH!!! SUGOI!! Summer Wars is very complex because of the fact that the whole village is connected to one another, knowing each other, making it somewhat of a giant family.
During the Q&A, they were talking something only family size in Singapore. I actually find the family size thing small, compared to the one in Summer Wars, where everyone in the village is connected to one another by their bonds. Finding it small, i actually did the action of small, and apparently he saw my hand movement!(i think lol) The whole thing is just awesome totally.
To think that Summer Wars took 3 years to complete, it must be one good movie that CANNOT BE MISSED.
It would be showing in local cinemas at 2* February 2010!! SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! BE FREE ON THAT DAY. AND LETS GO WATCH SUMMER WARS TOGETHER!!!!
(no pics for this as my camera is shitty -.-)
Atsuki GL Fashion Show.
The next session is Atsuki GL Fashion show!
When i saw the fashion show, i thought it’s human models, dressing up in their very nice clothings and stuff like that. But it ends up being the dolls being dressed up.(my miss here). Camera flashes flew like mad during this time. But apparently during one of the models coming up, i saw camera flashes, FLASHING LIKE MAD AND I MEAN MAD. It’s fiercer then the other models. (lol) The dolls are nice, but the song accompanied is kinda eerie, well it’s GL i can’t blame it lol.
(no pics for this as my camera is orz)
Regional Cosplay Championships.
KITA! REGIONAL COSPLAY CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! KANAME!!! KANAME KANAME KANAME! LOL. He looks very nice in camera, but looks slightly older than he looks upfront.
IT IS TOTALLY AWESOME. The first team that came up was on Sakura taisen (sakura wars). Everything for it is just jaw dropping. It’s just too awesome liao -.- The costume, details, skit, EVERYTHING. It’s just.. OMG.
–some kind souls pls give me pics for this part. My camera sucked totally–
Another team that amazed me is, the Lineage 2 team. The armor is simply, IMBALLLLLL. The details of it is just imbal. It kind of reminds me of the western side of cosplay, where they focus mainly on the looks of the costume. VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY NICE LINEAGE2 COSPLAY. SERIOUSLY. If you missed it, you gotta look at some photoblogs that has this part. The skit is very well made, though 90% of the skits, the metal hitting sound(from the video/sound track) is never really done. well because of the fact that the cosplay weapons never actually hit. If it did hit, *insert heart pain moment* LOL you guys get what i mean right? ne~ =D
One team i went omg again is the witchblade team. Though witchblade is quite old already, i watched it only once, can’t remember the storyline (mehz) but i do roughly remember how the outfits look like. And to think that they actually made that tank thing in witchblade which was TOTALLY COOOL. Nice texturing on the foam tank!
Red witchblade(i can’t rmb the character name) came out and fought with the tank and the tank actually somewhat kaboom (in a sense). Then a blue witchblade user came out of it. AND TOTALLY SUGOI. WHEN SHE CAME OUT. SHE PICKED UP HER WEAPON. I WENT WTTFFFFFF THE WEAPON IS SIMPLY GIGANTIC AND NICE. TOTALLY NICE. Red witchblade’s whole outfit is totally awesome too. The effort in making the clothing can be seen in the costume.
WHEN IN THE MIDST OF FIGHTING, THEIR OUTFITS LIGHTED UP. THAT IS TOTALLLY WIN. Though it’s just LED lights, it did portray how the actual Anime looks like. Where the lining area gets lighted up. although having the entire strip to light up is nicer though. BUT SERIOUSLY THE EFFORT AND TIME AND SKILL CAN BE SEEN IN THEIR COSPLAY & SKIT. I would gladly vote for them!

Animax Cosplay Make-up!
This session of AFA is the most.. empty timing. there were a lot of free seats during this time lol. I actually listened to this part attentively. Well because of the fact that i need to learn how to put on make-up.
Danny Choo Special Appearance!
This session is particularly very LOL. Those who were there would know what i mean.
I LOVE ANISONG!!
OK SERIOUSLY I LOVE ANISONG SECTION IS JUST WICKED SICK. TOTALLY BEYOND AWESOME-NESS TILL THE FACT THAT I CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN IT IN WORDS LOL
