1. AFA brings in the people/company that produce anime related stuff and you does not care about people who created those stuff that you watch?? doujin are not the main focus of AFA ... there's is already other event for doujin and stuff.
2. the availability of original stuff is good point i think...plenty of malaysian has the purchasing power and i have know quite a few people that is willing to spend on it ... i think the organizer saw the potential in the market here too.. that's why Philippines and Thailand have big anime fanbase and they didnt get AFA yet and we are lucky to have it once...
You misunderstood my first point.
By acg goods I mean those figurines, nendoroids, plushies, posters, which I don't really care. Of course I do care about the things I like. I purchase original goods for the past years (no, not the effing bootlegs). I got my manga and LN from Kino and I got my cd/dvds through tsuuhan.
Besides Bushiroad, I have never encountered any real anime or manga company/house such as Aniplex, Animate, Shueisha, Kodansha, Dengeki, etc.
And if you are talking about Animangaki and CF... ugh... those are even worst. Most local circles there macam syok sendiri.
