Ceui and Shimokawa Mikuni

Ceui and Shimokawa Mikuni

Well, not really that comfortable since we didn’t get any kind of refreshments, at least a cup of coffee (I don’t mind sharing with them), from the organizers of Comic Fiesta so that we might have longer time of conversation with these two singers from Japan. Ceui (pronounced ‘say-ee’) and Shimokawa Mikuni (pronounced … ah never mind) are amazing artists who made appearance in this year’s Comic Fiesta in Kuala Lumpur Convention Center. Having their first time in Malaysia, it’s surely a rather new experience for them. We at Anime Shrine were glad to be given some room to meet them in-person just after their stage performance.

Comic Fiesta 2011

Comic Fiesta 2011

17th and 18th December. It’s that time again as the prestigious yearly event of Comic Fiesta being held. This time, Kuala Lumpur Convention Center. A better place for all as it’s the biggest place than all previous venues in previous years. Compared to the last year’s event that being held at the Ballroom in Berjaya Times Square Hotel, the Hall 5 of the convention center is slightly bigger by 50 percent. Plus, it’s a perfect place for a large gathering of people since, well, it’s KLCC. Apart from the meaning of it being the convention center, it’s also meant for KL City Center which is just a few meters away from the tallest twin towers in the world. Yeah, better transportation like trains and also a lot of parking areas. Continue reading →

Animangaki 2011

Took me awhile to write this because I got caught up with other stuffs. Especially some rage stuffs. Hey, it’s already more than two weeks, so, yeah, not really that late. Again, the anime event was held at the same place as last year which was the Multi Purpose Hall of Sunway University College.

This event was the day marked as my first ever performance as a guitarist for Bad Apples. Thinking back, it’s almost 9 months I bought my Telecaster which I learn to play mostly by myself and also with the help of my friends especially Eccentrical and Brian. Nine months seemed long but I didn’t take any proper class so it’s something neat to brag on but musical skill is something largely related with practice, practice and practice. Continue reading →

A Red within Reds

It was crowded. Full of people. Anticipating for the best that has yet to come at that moment. People were wearing red shirts. Well, not all of them. I was in dark green shirt, kinda formal. Perhaps trying to conceal myself from them. My partner, linkinstreet, was also in his formal suit just like a working salary guy. I could see the authorities of the place guarding the entrances to the area. However, they didn’t bring any tear gas weaponry or baton as things can get pretty awry if they couldn’t handle the crowds. Although we could see how fearsome they’re with their appearances. Well, it’s not some guys that you could easily goof with. It was supposed to start at 2:00 p.m. but we have yet to see anything that shows a sign for this to be started. Medias were armed with their cameras who were certainly looking forward on grabbing some scenes that surely can be used to be printed on the pages of the newspapers. Despite that, that Indian person was there early and looked very calm with the surrounding. While majority of the crowds seemed to be less interested with that person, I was very anxious and still am if I ever get a chance to meet in-person. It’s a person that led a bunch of people who managed to give the Malaysian people hope for a better future of this side of the world. Surely, a very well-known. That Indian person was K. Rajagopal.

Autographs fuck yeah

Bad Apples

Bad Apples

It took me awhile to write this up because of several things happened several days ago. For instance I got my second OreImo BD 2 and also my K-On! Houkago Live PSP game. At the same time, the K-On! game couldn’t be played on my PSP since it has old homebrew firmware that wouldn’t let newer games being played (well, it can now). So Bad Apples performed at a dinner event of Spotgamers last Saturday. An award ceremony for gamers from gamers. As much as it’s called performance, a stage performance, it was a failure for me.

Comic Fiesta, a yearly end of the year event, was held at Berjaya Times Square Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on 18th and 19th December. Saturday and Sunday. The new venue is quite smaller than in Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre last year. Being told that the attendees were around 11,000 and it was more than previous ones, the place was surely cramped like hell. Few might have never thought that the event that actually focuses more on comic industry in the country has currently became a large convention of cosplaying people along with doujin works that being sold instead of original products by local artists.

K-On!! Live Event ~Come With Me!!~

The K-On!! concert has been announced. It will be held at Saitama Super Arena on February 20. Being selected on the World Day of Social Justice, this will bring justice to K-On!! fans as well after the great season of 2010. As much as I want to join this awesome live event, that would be impossible. This is gonna be similar like the previous event.

Ooo!

So, I went to this anime event last Sunday at Sunway University College. In Sunway of course. The event is called Animangaki 2010. Yes, it is a yearly event and as usual, full of otaku there despite you have to pay if you want to enter. Unlike last year, this year’s event is said to have gathered more visitors. From what I heard, the organizer was targeting 600 visitors with at most 800. Yet, the visitors count went up to 1400 and the gatekeeper kinda laxing towards the end of the event where some of my buddies entered the hall without paying anything. At the 4th floor, the Multi Purpose Hall might be more than enough for these creeps but really, at the peak time, there were crowded as hell. Met a lot of friends there. New ones, old ones. Fun time, nevertheless.

Rock on!

Rock on!

I went there quite late actually. Just before noon, my friends and I arrived there. Since some of us never been there (like me for instance), the GPS kinda trolled us to the other side of the college but it was good after all since we got to park our car for free. If you park inside, you will be charged with… I don’t know how much. Never mind that but we’re needed to pay for entrance of the event. It’s RM 10 for normal visitors and RM 8 for cosplayers. I never really had a thought in my mind to enter the place as a cosplayer. Well, we did bring some weapons with some hats or whatever we can just to add some fun to the event like we did previously in Comic Fiesta and GACC. But since they asked whether we enter there as a normal visitor or cosplayer, I chose the latter (since I got some stuffs that can be considered as that). Be in mind that my interest to do cosplay is not as much as my interest to see cute girls to cosplay. Continue reading →

GAMP 2010

Another event that gathered several cosplayers at the beginning of fasting month, Ramadhan. Games. Anime. Manga. Party. Not sure what was so ‘party’ about it. Because a party usually consists of drinking and eating while having fun. Yeh, I know it’s on the fasting but not like the majority of the visitors were Muslims. So I went there on Saturday afternoon with my friends which was held at International Medical University, Sri Petaling. Actually I am not in the mood of writing it long. A handful of pictures that I took would be good enough I guess. Only a few though.

A lot of Krauts.. I mean, crowds. Small hall tho.

Hatsune Miku World Tour

Hatsune Miku World Tour

*back to normal* Oh, well. It seems that SEGA would like to have Hatsune Miku World Tour concerts to be held in various places in the world. The site link given above will be used to gather votes from different countries where any countries that have more than 10,000 votes will be chosen by SEGA as candidates for the tour.

I am not really a fan of Vocaloid (especially the voices though I am fine with others) plus the concert would likely to be something like a virtual singer singing on the stage with actual band plays at the back. But I would be really really love to have such concert to be made available in Malaysia. I don’t mind to pay just to get a chance getting in a hall for something like this. It’s gonna be fun.
