What is Animangaki u ask? Its a anime fest organised by SUAC (Sunway University Anime Club). The foundators n crews are very very awesome n yep... I was one of the crew there jaga-ing the booth ^^
This event was awesome! :D
Well basically you don't need to be some sort of anime freak to know this... it's more like a pure event where everyone is free to dress up (cosplay) as their fav fictional character... games, cartoons, animeS, etc.
P.S: I even saw one big size Pikachu there lulz! xD
Well it all started with me being one part of SUAC n trying to join the crews coz it seems fun... it wasn't easy at all to start this event out of nowhere.(not to mention that the admin side of this uni doesn't seems to support this event at all :X)
From very very limited crew n enthusiastic-er, and yep... extremely strained amount of cash flow, sponsorship, and time, its a big surprise that this can be so successful. :)
From March 2010, the anime club president n others started to have all these fun n crazy ideas n they started to plan about finding sponsorship n thinking how to make this Animangaki a big shot thing!
But troubles brew in when the admin side constantly 'helping out' by not providing venue for the event and sponsor for about RM20 (yea until we negotiate it further) to support us.
This event goes STAGNANT... the halt is also caused by the sudden 'disappearance' of the club president and some other committee due to their own prob.
But still... in the end, everyone insist to carry out the plan.
Final date: Halloween, 31 Oct 2010.
Its just about 2 months to go... (yea its around August :D Near Sept)
How cool is the whole thing? We expected around 600 ppl to show up n in the end there are more than 1000 ppl who turned out in this event...
I was in charge of this game booth called Fukuwarai... its a simple game n I had fun mixing with new ppl n new stuff... xD
I reached there around 830am with my housemate Ducky (who is in charge with the same game booth with me) to set up the booth n preparation.
As soon as 10 o'clock strikes in... ..the world turns around n change! :D
Cosplayer!
And yea for some reason they r freakin' awesome and I tot Japan is the only place capable of fitting all these fantasy-made character. The whole world turns into a fantasy world of all the games animeS mangaS cartoonS whatever character that u can ever think of... (yes except hentai... since cosplayer are required to cover at least 80% of themself)
Expressing urself in ur own way? Definitely.
I even saw a walking wolf and a walking bear in the big hall. Nothing specifically, THEY JUST WANT TO BE A WOLF/BEAR. O.o
Uh huh I was in fact stunned...
Yea... and so I heard.. the ghost house was kinda cool.. (I can't really leave my booth until lunch break u see :D)
Did make some new friends AND... girls? Yea I hang out with one cute girl... n yea... really cute.. as in 10 years old cute. This standard 4 primary school girl who knows nothing about anime or cartoon turns out surprisingly, to be a sharpshooter.
She went to the opposite booth of mine (the shooting spree) and start pawning all the prizes. Some guys(teenagers) try to beat her but... well, they end up losing bucks n bucks instead of overwhelming the game like that girl... photo? U check it out urself, Animangaki is Google-able XD
I asked her to help me to win one small little cute anime(Hitman Reborn!) figurine n she did! Haha... I actually got my first anime figurine here =)
I spend some other time talking to her, (yea babysitting this cute little kid >.<) n bring her around when I can skip my work :P
And now I see... everyone seems to like Vocaloid... (they are fictional anime singers... surprising all the songs are MADE by com n softwares something lidat n it turns out to be erm... huge success? :X)
Aside from the cosplayer n all the funny people(mostly 'kids' who made me laugh, thx xD), the games n stalls n everything else here is just as impressive.. xD
One note though: I skipped my class for this event lulz... xD I told the teacher beforehand anyway... :X
BUT I NEVER THOUGHT THAT THIS CAN BE MORE TIRING... why?
I worked from 9am-7pm(not to mention that I m there by 8am n left at 11pm), n afta I closed the game booth. The very last event is about those rock band singers (something lidat :/) singing anime song in the hall.. I m not really into it but I DID get hyped when they sing those very familiar song - Digimon, Bleach, etc. xD
(How can u NOT KNOW!? Get a life! :P)
It ends up with about 10 crews left(and some ppl KO-ed coz we nvr have dinner) to clean the hall n move out all the tables, chairs, and rearrange them for tmr's(Monday) exam. It is extremely tiresome but I was really impressed by myself n all the crews that we really did that!
Yea we are superbly cool... ... ... and we all went back at 1130pm ::>.<::
Exhausted like mad... n fatigue seems to kill.. but yea... really Worth all the works..
P.S: This anime event take place in the whole 4th floor of Sunway Uni Col and yea... we kinda 'gao dim' the Whole Floor's table n chairs... :X
Thats all for the updates... like new things bout life that enlighten ur world x)
Conclusion? This thing is sooo new to me that I felt like... wait, I AM frog in the well xP
Ciao~ n take care my fellow friends n nice reader.(if u are :D) =)
