Animax Carnival 2014 Review

Hello again so this next event that i attend was Animax Carnival 2014 that take place at Mid Valley hall on March 29th & 30th. Then i had divided the 2 day into Day 1 casual look(normal street person) and Day 2 as cosplayer (Kurosaki Ichigo) well im still newbie so that the costume that i have currently, all my costume will be DIY so it take me sometime to come out with a second costume. So i plan to not cos for Day 1 is because i wanna walk around and look at the whole event freely and take my time to see all booth, performance, shooting all cosplayer so that i can write out the event review. XD

Alright back to topic, so during 29th i reach there at 11am and there are full of people (actually i didn't expect that many people @@). Below show the crowded environment.



Then it was my first time attending Animax too so im not quite sure how their system work so i just line up and walk in, after the long queue and i arrive the entrance then they told me you need the number to go in (i have none) then he told me i have to take the number and reline again, that time i really feel frustrated (not only me actually, i heard lot of people dislike that too) why can't we just walk in and out freely (everytime you come out from the hall then you need to take a new number and line up). Well just ignore that, that their rule and we need to follow the rule :) as long i can enjoy the event =.=|||

(The Number)

So after i reach inside the hall then i surely enjoy myself and looking each and everything inside until i feel satisfy only i will come out (you know what happen after you come out) except when im hungry already then must come out. Below are the picture after you reach inside the hall

You will receive a template to play the game and get the stamp

Then line up and move to each of the booth for stamp

Example after you completed the game

After getting all 6 stamp then proceed to the redemption counter for lucky draw prize

After a few hour and im done with the hall then i just come out and eat (im hungry) then after finish eating then i just stay outside and~ ofcourse shooting the cosplayer, that the culture of cosplay XD. So below are some example of the cosplayer





For more cosplayer picture, you can visit my Facebook: there will be more suitable to keep photo.

Then during 8pm i call it for a day and when back. Then here come Day 2, this time i reach really early at 8.15am because you saw how was the crowded during Day 1 so i just come early to take picture with the nice scene when it was still less people, else later hard to capture when people are walking here and there. After that when the hall gate is open then as usual i take number + line up then stay inside because there are "Cosplay Competition Semi Final" that i wanted to stay tune for (this guy like cosplay competition so much).
You can see the whole cosplay competition at Youtube great place to store video.

 After the competition then there are 4 hour break till the "Cosplay Competition Final" so i take this opportunity to eat, capture picture with cosplayer (Gou Da) mean "knowing and be friend with the cosplayer" + been capture picture also since im a cosplayer at Day 2 too :). I had know some new cosplay friends, im still quite shy but normally if me and the cosplayer have a short conversation then i would be friend with them already is that simple (really that simple?!?).Ok that all for my review on Animax Carnival 2014.

My Comment: The Hall is too small, Suck line up system (Majority people opinion too)
