Today is Anime Festival Asia 2009 (AFA) day 1! I reached Suntec Convention Centre around 11am and it so crowded! I took me almost 1 hour to que for the ticket. When I’m inside, it is almost 12pm… Anyway, it is so huge compare to AFA 2008. There are a lot more booths, company and figurines to milk the anime fans! Let’s go and see how they milk us!
The scene when I just reached Anime Festival Asia 2009
The big mascot and the entrance. Even Ninja need some entertainment right?
Let us master the art of queuing up. I spent about 1 hour just to get the ticket (and get annoyed by some spoiled cosplay brats).
The ticket booth. At last… I want to get into the hall!!!
Danny Choo & Good Smile Company @ AFA 2009
Danny Choo’s booth is just next to the Bandai area. It always gather a lot of crowd so I’m having hard time taking the photos (especially the figma figurines). The moment I reach there, Danny was there with his armor =D. He had a chat with another 2 person (no idea who they are) in Japanese. I think I stand a bit too close, sorry for that. Need to be more awake of where I’m standing but not overly focus with getting the right layout xD.

Hatsune Miku
Black Rock Shooter
Our beloved Nendoroids
There are really a lot of Figma figurines, took the photo from the side view.

Moe Moe Kyun Maid Cafe
Pass by the Moe Moe Kyun Maid Cafe, It is pretty hard to move around since the walk way is quite narrow and the crowd is a lot =__+. Somehow managed to see the maids from outside, they look very cute and serving the customer with great care. I did not go into the cafe since I’m busy running around taking photos holding 3 kgs of toys…
O___O The crowd~~ Why are they gather at here?
Moe Moe Kyun sign board.
Even the little girl want some maid’s special service (I would like to, but I’m too busy running around for toys)
Saw the maids… they are so cute~~ but we are not allowed to take photo of them. We should respect the organizer else they might not be coming next time =(.
Part 1 will end here. It is pretty late now, I’ll continue with part 2 tomorrow night. There are a lot of things to introduce so there might be part 3 and part 4.
