AFA 11 (Anime Festival Asia 11)

                                       Welcome to my reviews for this year AFA 11!

Day 1: ミク - aka. Miku Party, was great! First time seeing holographic 3D Hatsune, Luka, Len and Rin with my own eyes! Nice songs one after another! Though some of the songs that I wanted to listen to was not added in. But still, I enjoyed it!
Pictures were not allowed to be taken during the concert. So gotta follow the rules to avoid getting kicked out!
This is the picture of the booth which sold Hatsune Miku merchandises!










Day 2: Watched Danny Choo showcasing his show - Culture Japan, Fate/Zero - Producer Atsuhiro Iwakami's talk and LiSA sang Oath Sign! Then, Bushiroad Cardfight!! Vanguard - Featuring Sea*A and Milky Holmes (Sea*A cheated in the cardfight against the boss of Bushiroad but still lose in the end and Milky Holmes just came out to the stage and watched the cardfight and did nothing! Lol!), After that, it was Chiwa Saito's 'Live' dubbing session where she dubbed some of the scenes in Puella Magi Madoka Magica! Next, was Kidou Senshi Gundam Uncorn episode 4 which ended with an appearance of a black "Unicorn Gundam"-like mobile suits!
Picture wasn't very clear as I was not sitting at the front at that moment!


Day 2 - "I Love Anisong" concert: First was performed by Sea*A. Then Ichiro Mizuki - Aniki, who performed lots of old animes songs and his latest songs, "Hero" which he made to thank the people who helped out during the Japan's earthquake and to convey and remind people of those heroic people! Next was LiSA, who sang some songs which include "Ichiban no Takaramono", "My Song", "My Soul, Your Beats!", "Oath Sign", LiSA (a song which title is her own name)! Everyone (including me!) was really high, waving our light sticks and sing along when she sings! Last but not least is Flow, whom sang three of my favorite songs from them which are "Days" (Eureka 7 opening), "World End" (Code Geass 2 opening), "Colors" (Code Geass opening) and some of their other songs which are great too! We were all super high and sang along with the band! Everyone, including me, shouted for encore! They performed more for us and the entire concert was 4hrs + long!!!
Pictures were not allowed to be taken during the concert. So gotta follow the rules to avoid getting kicked out!

Day 3: While my friends went for Naruto movie: The Blood Prison, I went around the festival hall to snap some photos - (will be uploading it after I come back from school!) After snapping, I got bored and went to watch Mardock Scramble 2: The Second Combustion - movie screening and the talk show by its creator, Tow Ubukata and producer, Go Nakanishi. The show was not bad! Next, we went to queue up (way before the screening) to enter the anime theater to watch Sora no Otoshimono: Tokeijikake No Angeloid as one of the first few to went in and got the Sora no Otoshimono poster!
!*SPOILERS*!The first part of the movie was just the recap of the first and second season but in Kazane Hiyori's (aka "Type Zeta") point of view. The movie was quite different from the manga and it was more sad and tragic where Hiyori sacrificed herself and vanished. It has an ending (after the credits) that shows Tomoki smiling and a shiny light shone down from the sky!
