[Event] - Animangaki 2013 - Day 2

Moe moe kun?

On day 2, we arrived as usual ; they arrived as usual. I'm impress with their spirit on arriving early either on giving us a hella quality cosplay, or being entertained for the whole day.

I have to show you these blurry picture, a glimpse on behind the scene.

 As a privilege of the staff, we get to see things earlier. Here's some figurine shot before the opening of the event. We can take as long as we want for these shots.

[Event] - Animangaki 2013 - Day 1

We Define ourselves

Cosplay also known as costume play, which is an activity in which participants wear costumes with accessories to represent a character. It is a pop culture in Japan which brings it to a world phenomenon in 1990. We often see ComicCon, Anicon or Pax which is a huge event for geek in the North America or Europe.
In Malaysia, we have such event as well. Comic Fiesta(CF) is the well known event for cosplay. However Animangaki is the first time I heard of this. I'm always a big fans of games and anime myself, and been attending to CF since 2009, and once AFA in 2012. Some friends share this event to me, so I decided to give it a shot.
To experience the event, I'm thinking why don't I apply for a media/volunteer pass to fully experience the event since I'm a big fans. But I was too late to apply for the media pass, so volunteer pass was given at the end. Well, we have to pay of course, our soul and sweat, for helping them.
Benefit with such pass is we get to enter and out, backstage any where we want, but bare in mind we have to be responsible since they trust us and approve this pass. I really suggest blogger to apply such pass if you seriously want to understand the behind the scene.

We worked hard for this

The event take place on 24-25 August 2013 on Sunway Pyramid Convention Center starts from 10.00am to 6.00pm. For us volunteer, we had to come at 8am for a brief. We reached at 8.30am.

Die hard fans already bee queuing since 8am

The main coverage of this event is to discover indie spirit of a cosplayer. Indie is a term for independence, referring artists independent on something they worked on, and cosplayer is a perfect subject for this. If you ever cosplayed, the hard work behind for their fancy look is huge. The amount of money and time spend, just to bring us the joy of our living fantasies. So in return, as a blogger myself, I hope this coverage will bring them some positive push to continue their amazing job.
