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)

Alright hope you guys enjoy. If you guys have anything urgent to ask then feel free to message me at Facebook since i am more active there and reply within 24 hour. Else you can just comment here and get reply maybe 1 week? (i seldom came here except there are event update). Alright that all, thank you and stay tune for the next cosplay event. Sayounara~

Bunkasai 2014

Alright it been awhile now and finally i attended the next event Bunkasai 2014 which take place at University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, first of all thank for organizing the event.

Let start it from the morning, me and my friend start going at 9am and reach Kajang KTM at 10am and wait for the shuttle bus because....(im poor :P) so no taxi pls XD. We are expecting for the 11am bus so most people wait at the bus stop in front of the KTM. We wait...wait....wait and finally the bus come, we all stop the bus and the bus just straight go only no stop. @@ what happen??? then wait until 11.30am everyone don't want wait already and decide to take taxi.

This is the part that i disappointed, taxi have a meter in the car and last time until now should charge according to the meter but recently this few year i already heard many case where the taxi driver actually charge a random amount (open a price) if YES, then take it, if NO, then get lost mostly report by foreigner ...then i already experience it 1 time where a 10 -15 minute walking distance, the taxi want charge me RM 50 (thought im foreigner that know nothing and tell me that place is very far), i say no then he call me get out of the car...WTH??...Then i take taxi this time again they say RM35 then later say RM 25, well it can be divide by few people and the bus didn't come so we have no choice just take it. In the end we arrive there and it just cost RM16-17 show in the meter where he say want RM25. Well fine im just wanna happily enjoy the event.

So this time i just take picture of the event, didn't shoot cosplayer :P because i just keep playing the entertainment available and walking around to visit the campus (this is my first time been there). So below are the random picture of the event.

I meet new cosplay friend (yvonne chang) there and kinomoto sei (picture is with him LOL)

Then meet Kang Kang, Neko ramen, Shinryu, already know them so no need GD them already LOL.

Alright next up are the food selling there:

we eat together at the Daten Cafe then continue for the food store outside

Coming up are the booth available there:

Lastly was what i expected so much in every event "cosplay competition" but it end up only 5 participate so nothing much to enjoy. There should open the registration earlier to have more people get prepare, where they actually find people on the spot so end up like that. Well im feeling sad for that part T_T. Other thing is OK.

Here are the competition photo:

i actually really like the judge cosplay (blue hair), he cosplay a character of Shaman King where it look really alike with the anime character.

Alright so that conclude for the whole Bunkasai Event. Update on the event next time :)

VBG cosplay gathering 2014

This event happen on 18 Jan 2014 at One City from 10am - 4.30pm. Where it was a newly open complex, so that is my first time going there and according to the event discussion alot of cosplayer wanna go there but due to inconvenient of transport then they just decide not to go. I also having difficulty going there, lucky my friend can give me a hand. Most of the cosplayer are sharing taxi to reach there, hmmm bad location organize T_T.

I arrive there early in the morning around 9am but i heard somebody reach there at 6am lol seriously?!? Then i just capture the environment to let people who didn't go but wonder how was that place look like. A full environment video available at youtube so below are some random One City picture.

Inside of the building 

It still have some place incomplete yet but the environment design is nice, the inner center part have no air-con mainly natural air but it fresh and cooling. But the shop there have air-con. So around 10am we can start registering and we will get a goodies bag as shown in the picture.

Registration

After the registration, i have nothing to do since there are no entertainment performance schedule there so i just go and know some cosplayer(normally if there is performance then i just go and enjoy performance lol). Mainly because i am shy to introduce myself and knowing new people(everyone does). But in the end i take the first step and get to know some cosplayer. Some cosplayer i feel familiar but don't dare to go to them(later if not the one i know then very paiseh (embarrassing) sorry if i didn't go to you). Alright below are some cosplayer that i mix around with.

Im still new in cosplay so i looking forward to know more people and make more cosplay friends. Alright that all for the review, i will soon update on the next event that i attended and looking forward to it.

Start of my cosplay journey

When I was a kid, i like to watch anime and im just keep watching one after another because the story of the anime was just nice.("im sure everyone will imagine themselves as the anime character and even buy the toy or merchandise available from the anime"). Then i getting more friends that watch anime and read manga that can share the story with during high school and find out about cosplay event was available there for people to cosplay the character that they like. So i had decided to become a cosplayer at that time and it become one of my hobby, but cosplay was a really expensive hobby and i don't have such expense to spend with so i had wait it until i move on to the age of college. Yet i didn't manage to cosplay because the course that i pick was computer game development, it was a tough course that require heavy programming so i end up focusing on it.

After i graduated and i finally have the time to touch on my cosplay stuff so i had think of a character that i like to cosplay and start DIY up my cosplay stuff to save cost. Below show some of my DIY picture.

1) Preparing and cutting all require material

2) Combine everything and ready to be spray the color

3) Finished

So that all for my current update about my cosplay. Will keep on update for the next activity or event :)
