Went to Anime Festival Asia with the guys on last sun and it was great fun even though it was damn tiring for me to walk around the whole day with my bass strap on my back (i had to go for my guitar practice in the evening). It's a very interesting exhibition that showcases some of the currently most popular anime titles as well as other activities such as displays of anime figurines, manga drawing competition, cosplay competition and not forgetting the selling of anime merchandise and mecha models for the die hard anime fans. The highlight of the day was the performance by a japanese singer, May' N who sang Macross Frontier's theme songs. Regretabbly, i could only catch her first 4 songs performance as i had to leave for my practice. Definitely will be looking forward to the event again next year! v(^.^)

 Here are some of the images taken on that day =D

Final Fantasy cosplayers

The anime gang

decided to catch this anime series after seeing good reviews on it as another great gundam series. Even though i only catch the first 9 episodes of it i feel that the storyline for Gundam 00 have some similarities with Gundam wing. both stories had the same ideas of "using violence against violence" to bring peace. the main characters in both series were relatively young and had a violent past. There were only a few political powers during the time and were all fighting for power and control. The gundams were then the weapons of some mysterious organization that hates war and decides to interfere and brings peace. In this new series, there are 4 gundams with each having a unique ability such as one for close combat, a sniper, a cannon blaster, and 1 that can transform into a fighter jet..the design of the new gundams dosent look attractive to me and the story well, just not really that great too as it isnt all that original but hopefully the rest of the story will be much better as it progresses...
