I've started "Project save-money-for-Tokyo-2008" starting the day Firedaus posted those photos.
I should have Rm5000 by next TGS.

RM5000 is barely enough man. My last trip costed me RM8k. (Including anime merchandise and figure shopping...haha)

So the ultimate goal for Winter Comiket?
TO TAKE A PHOTO SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH KIPI!

whats the cheapest option for 2way air ticket+foodz+public transport for a week in jp?
I doubt i can prepare 5k in 6months time
and how far is aomori from tokyo?

owh!...really?...rm5000 is already ok?...your last trip for rm8k for how long?...is it ok for two weeks to survive with that amount?...
yeah!...firedauz can you provide for the accommodation for all of us?...and also be our tour-guide also?...show us which good places to visit also...

Any comiket Veterans care to confirm is these anime cons are as bad as they show on TV?

BUY MOAR FIGURINES!

Oh wait...if you go to Japan and ge them there, it will be superior.
Silly me.

Wooah I said save-up, nothing about sponsoring or giving tours lulz
Lai lai, someone sponsor me ticket balik raya first

MAS economy return ticket during Comiket, RM 3600-4600. For others, I think you need at least 7-8K 

If someone sponsor me this --> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=170148309645

I'll sponsor all your expenses from air ticket, accommodation, travels, tour guides, and food for 2 weeks here
I'll wear it to all those cosplay events

WTF....why so ex? U sure or not?

When i went last year, only RM1900 for the ticket. When + airport tax and fuel surcharge came up to about RM2400. I think normal season tickets is RM2500 around. RM3600 even when added tax + surcharge is too much la. Might as well fly to USA.

is there any alternative for cheaper flight?...maybe with other airlines from Malaysia to Japan?...

Hell...Kipi could be appearing there for all we know. Hump her for us if you see her.

I don't mind coming if you can host us, firedauz.

I got money for plane tickets, train tickets, and food. But not enough for accomodations.

Tokyo Anime fair announces winners - 'Evangelion' takes animation of the year award

TOKYO -- The Tokyo International Anime Fair (TAF), the world biggest trade fair for toons, has presented "Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone" with its Animation of the Year award, organizers announced on Monday.

The toon, the latest feature installment in the Hideaki Anno TV/pic franchise about teens who pilot giant robots against alien invaders, was a hit last year for distrib Klockworx, finishing with a series high of $19 million.

TAF announced a slew of other prizes in its two main sections: Nominated Works, for toons broadcast, screened, or sold during the previous 12 months, and Submitted Works, for toons submitted by the general public from around the world.

Receiving the Grand Prize in the Nominated Works section was "Adventures in the NPM," a Taiwanese short by Helen Huang that is an animated guide through the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Grzegorz Jonkajtys' "Ark" and Moin Samadi's "The Lost Puppet" were selected as Notable Entries in the General Category, the section's second prize. Young-kwang Jo's "Christmas in Taxi" scooped the Special Award, while Takashi Kato's "The Clockwork City" and Guillaume Briet's "BistRobot" won Notable Entry prizes in the Student Category.

TAF will be held from March 27 to 30 at the Big Sight event space in Tokyo. Last year TAF featured exhibits from 270 companies, including 55 from abroad, and attracted 107,713 visitors.
