Do you even realise that PWTC is an UMNO building and you have to go through them to get events the green light to be held there? #typicalMalaysian

Klcc kena ada dua juta baru boleh book /runs

Kenapa perlu ada cosplayer? Setahu aku ini ANIME Festival Asia dan bukan COSPLAY Festival Asia. Dari segi itu maka betul jika media massa di Malaysia melabelkan temasya ini fenomena dari Jepun.

Aku hanya membalas apa yang dia katakan. Bahawa media massa akan tidak menghiraukan cosplayers yang datang. Jadi bagi aku, aku rasa itu adalah benda yang betul kerana temasya ini BUKAN temasya cosplay. Jadi kenapa cosplay yang dipentingkan? Sehinggakan Comicket pun tidak membernarkan orang yang cosplay mengacau gerai doujin mereka. Adalah sudah menjadi kesilapan di kalangan peminat di Malaysia yang mengaitkan temasya ACG kepada cosplay. Bukankah ACG itu Anime, Comics and Games? Tiada termaktub pun di dalam terma itu cosplay. Jika kamu mahukan temasya yang betul - betul menjadikan cosplay itu sebagai tumpuan maka kamu boleh mengikuti temasya seperti Cosfest ataupun CureFest.

Thus you are missing the point. I am not saying it's only about anime. I am just saying it's NOT ONLY ABOUT COSPLAY. Cosplay itself is just a small subsection of the otaku culture. For AFA they mostly wanted to feature all of what makes an otaku culture in Japan, thus why they usually have industrial talks with the important people in the industry. It's the same with Comic Fiesta where it tries to showcase these unique cultures. But sadly misinformed people think cosplay IS the main reason why the events are held, which leads to incidents like Paul Ortiz, a famous name in animation culture was largely ignored by the event goers. There is a reason that it's dubbed "Cosplay Fiesta" by goers you know...

The sad thing in Malaysia is that since Cosplay garners a LOT of attention (I mean why it shouldn't? People wearing wear clothes in weird wigs walking around weirdly) means that it's like shit attracting flies from all over. And when events organisers realised this, they do what a cheapskate Malaysian would do, and milked it for all it's worth and more. More and more events are now featuring cosplays, some events which have no relation with ACG or Japan at all! And sure enough, people flocks to these events wanting to see these weird people in weird costume like they would visit a zoo.

Don't get me wrong. I do enjoy these cosplays (as long as they are good, well thought of, and creative) and I have a lot of cosplayers as friends. But I just don't like how it's being exploited to the point that people now think it's THE focal point of each and every event. Outsiders would look at these events and immediately come to the (wrong) conclusion that it's just another gathering for people in weird clothing. And even the cosplayers themselves are changing. Gone are the old guards who put their effort and thoughts in doing cosplays and in are noob kids who cosplays just because it's the "in" thing for them. Ask any average new cosplayer who Ayase was during the recent Animax Carnival and they will look at you with a blank stare.

So what really am I talking about anyways? I dunno, I might be bitter with how people are hyping cosplay too much during each and every ACG event in Malaysia that I just posted without thinking much. Durr

Indeed. There is a general misconception of what really IS Otaku Culture. I mean really, in Japan that would mean you are in your house, being a hikkikomori, growing fat, watching anime, leeching of your parents, stalking seiyuu, fighting about it on 2ch and repeat ad nauseum. It perplexes me how Japan manages to market this so called "culture" as a good thing to the outside world and yet still regards the otakus in Japan as scumbags. I can't tell you how many anime directors actually called these otaku gross, and more so the various seiyuus that was stalked daily by their fans.

So Malaysian, do YOU have what it takes to be a REAL otaku?

In a sense, Japan does promote the otaku culture, but yeah it is started by the gaijins* that sees this as unique and wanted to be something that they are not. Japan, being the awesome opportunist they are, took this with open hands, sensing that they could make money from all this. There are now specific promotion by the Japanese government towards anime fans (read: I don't like to use the term Otaku describing them) to visit Japan and see for themselves famous landmarks that are well known in the anime world.

In the end they just want your money. Nothing more, nothing less.

ThereAku suka kot lagu dia. bagi aku pasal dia boleh perform live ok la at least duit aku tak rugi. But Miku already appeared at AFKL so I don't think she will appear at AFA
