Here it is, Anime Festival Asia! An annual anime exhibition event held in Singapore, AFA now is in its 9th iteration. In years before, I used to attend this event mainly for the anime / manga content, pretty cosplay included. However, my interests waned and now jumped towards the idoru sub-culture. Unless AFA has something that pips my interest, I would give this event a miss.
AFA again pulled out all stops to bring in the best content for the masses. From seiyuus, producers and cosplayers to the massive showcase that is the "Anisong Concert", loads of notable people graced this event. AFA has been well-aware that to bring the crowd, they have to diversify. We do see non-anime content like Moshi Moshi Nippon and NHK booths. What does this translate to? It means 'idols' graced the stage once again!
