Wooah I said save-up, nothing about sponsoring or giving tours lulz Lai lai, someone sponsor me ticket balik raya first
Coming up is the Comiket this December -- I wanna go see all the cast of Lucky Star Most importantly, whoever is coming, don't you wanna be a cosplay yourself (read below)
So yeah, expect Kipi, Arisa, Aya Hirano, etc etc to all be there Kipi and her friends were already there last August --> http://bloodrayne.jaywebdesigns.com/Article25.html wolfx once posted it in the Kipi vs Arisa thread:
So the ultimate goal for Winter Comiket? TO TAKE A PHOTO SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH KIPI!

Maybe to make a specific goal is too hard to fulfill Last time I planned for TGS to either take a photo side-by-side with Kojima himself, or at least just a shot of him & some videos. I got the latter, but it was good enough because he IS da man anyway
So this time, I think my goal would be AT LEAST:
TO TAKE A PIC OF KIPI, OR ARISA, OR ANY SEIYUUS THAR! (depending if they come or not hahaha)
*taking a pix side-by-side is kinda like pushing the luck too far lulz*
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

*Nearby Kipi's place = Kipi always cosplay at Tokyo Big Sight. See back all her outdoor pictures (not specific location), majority are behind that same building. Besides, she goes to some college in Tokyo, so Big Sight is just about accessible for a 1-2 train rides for her anyway
Forgot to mention to you guys, my raya flight is RM$2750

21K USD for a cosplay suit... wow that money could have spent much better somewhere else. I mean what can you do with the suit? It's not like you can wear it and walk around the town often...
Aiyaa just kidding lor But if someone did give me, I'll be very greatful & most definitely sponsor him here + wear that for the whole event here

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.
