Screw me sideways... 1 day, RM15 and 2 days are RM25? Is this some kind of a joke?

Seriously, if they really want to do it in Sunway, I doubt that there'll be a lot of people coming like last year since Sunway is too far and very hard to reach via public transportation. Unlike Times Square, you can't reach Sunway via Monorail or LRT. You must take the bus which I hardly think that it will be fast and easy.

So, anyone is going?

sadly my kenduri kahwin is on the 21st also

ur kenduri VS CF2008, who will win?

u can try go for 1 day n pay RM15, or make up ur mind bout goin 2nd day after u got ur 1 day ticket n wasted RM30 in total than 2 days package (RM25). ur choice.

kenduri kahwin kat bandar tun hussein onn ke atau kat langkawi?

Bandar Tun Hussein Onn .. langkawi bulan 1

OH? You forgot, in 2004 and 2005 it was in Sunway. And even then a LOT of people did go. I'm all for the current venue as it's way better than Times Square. For once it's in a proper hall. Unlike Times Square where we had that excuse of a exhibition hall.

You pay for what you get. Do remember that. I also fail to see what's so hard about getting to Sunway Pyramid. When CF was at Serdaya's hall, the number of people going was in no way less than what it was at Times Square.

:$: duit terbang ...


Attached thumbnail(s)

lol ur aiko going mah....sure not coming?

Don't worry bro, I'll be going to your kenduri kahwin. after that then decide whether to go to comic fiesta or not.

going, im gonna spend the RM300 i save for going to AFA08..

yea, the venue b4 (sri sedaya) is harder to get to...

surely will be there...

Apparently there will be goodie bags for those who come.

And according to my intel, the goodie bags are at least RM50. i really don't know whats in em.

My issue is its RM25. Thats really not right, isn't it by fans for fans?

The few years ago it was RM5.~ I think sunway convention really screwed them with the rent.

around RM 50? USB thumb drives anyone? lol

H-Dojins? lolwut?

Gah! Shah's kenduri is on that day.. What to do? What to do?

sorry cant attend ur kenduri then.


go on Day2 then! more cosplayers.



new and better venue. unlike last yr packed like sardins and with random ppls inside. so why care about the RM5 extra?


no H content stuff are to be allowed. >_>;;

If it's 2/4GB it's kinda worth. I mean, those babies are nice replacements for DVDs xD.

What about 8GB? Nyahahaahaha!

I'll check my schedule. If shah's event is in evening, I might go to his instead.

RM15? Wow.. tickets price really went up..
Might be going..

They WERE screwed for the rent. It's not cheap in a place like Sunway. Even the convention halls in MVEC aren't cheap.

Well, I don't mind to pay rm 100 if they are doing it at MVEC and some seiyuu were invited as well (no, not those malay dubbing seiyuu ) plus freebies or alot of stuffs that can be look at or bought like figyas, etc.

gonna go crazy on gunpla and figures!!...

definately will go this time xD as kuran kaname ( maybe ) xD

sunway???now thats close to me home!!! SO GOIN!!!
and..well..this is gonna be my first time going....wonder whats it like??
What do we get actually huh??? Can we buy anime dvds comics? collections??Do we have cosplay?? hahaha...should i wear my own costume *kidding*

I hope i dont have lastt-minute plan that time...

I'll go to the 20th and then 21st but only early of the event then off to shah's wedding.

shah married a second wife?..

Ah yeah, it's on 21th. Hmm....

don't worry for those who can't attend it at 2pm.. u guys can go there later that evening. maybe 4pm or 6pm

haha i can attend frm morning to nite for 2 days xD coz im staying at there punya hotel wakakaka xD anyone cosplaying here ?

Here are the public transport that can reach Sunway Pyramid:

1. Rapid KL bas U63 or U67 (USJ8 - Pasar Seni). Take it from bas stand Klang OR KL Sentral (below the KL Sentral KL monorail station) OR outside Midvalley (bas stop beside Federal Highway).The bases were quite frequent with 15 minutes once (U63) or 20 minutes once (U67) if no traffic jams. If no traffic jams, can reach Sunway Pyramid in about half an hour. These bases pass through Federal Highway.

2. Rapid KL bases U76 (Subang Parade - KL Sentral). The bas frequency is 30 minutes once. Usually reach Sunway Pyramid in 45 minutes as it passes through Old Klang Road.

3. If you stay in Klang, u can take Rapid KL bases U62 (Klang - Sunway Pyramid). (I never take it, just for your information)

4. Take KTM komuter to Subang Jaya station (laluan ke Perlabuhan Klang). Then take the mini bases in which can take u to Sunway Pyramid.

5. Metro bases opposite Kota Raya complex.

Hopefully this information can help you.

I have no car neither motocycle. So public transport would be my choice.

wow !!!! thx for the helpful information ... can when there by bus to check in hotel there btw u cosplaying there ? xD as i lonely there -.- cosplaying myself ... others all i duno one -.-

Sunway is near where I live. Cool. I'll probably go for just one day.

How do we get tickets. Pay upon entry itself? Or have to buy off somewhere earlier? SOrry, it's my first time.

u can check it out frm their website ... they also had pre-order ticket there
http://comicfiesta.org/

btw ... this is also my 1st time xD

I do not cosplay there. May be want to do a research regarding Otaku there.

Added on November 13, 2008, 3:33 pmGo for 1 day is usually enough.

2 days? Waste of your time as u c d same things.

5 f***ing years and you'd expect them to at least be able to invite a seiyuu. GACC's been around what? 2-3years? and they had Jun Fukuyama come over.

Fix'd for truth.

haha both day i not whole day at there la will go walk walk at sunway ... or not go back hotel sleep xD

Damn, sorry Silencers.

coz CF are mainly wat u called a artist who wan to do doujin n event of it initially. hence its called comicfiesta not animefiesta/mangafiesta while GACC is like Game Anime Comic?
if still unsattified, u can apply or suggest em to invite Nakajima Megumi or Tsundere Biatch.
but i rather to see em invite manga-ka or CG artist instead, Tony Taka neone? (i personally want Haruco hanahalu though )

Haha, taka tony is too mature for me but demn haruko hanaharu is really a good artist. My personal feveret is Takamichi(LO cover designer).Surely be great if they invite them. . But GACC is also promising but empty pocket wont take me nywhere.

Then GACC should concentrate on games more because it's GAMES Anime Comic Circle. So you don't have to be so politically correct about the which part of the name comes first.

But seriously, "premier" end of the year con. I know they can do better. They've already gotten a great venue this year, contrary to all the b****ing that it's in the middle of nowhere.

like i say, its initally by those artist wanna do doujin n selling em. hence Comicfiesta was born. i still remember the 1st comicfiesta crampin in Chinese Assembly hall near Pasar Seni. u cant see shiet other than art competition n ppl selling "doujin". cosplay is still minimal though. name is wat i use sarsacticly. n i do use question mark bout GACC coz im still dun know their initial aim, or they just wanna to do Japanese anime/game event like.

Ive been in emina committee and i still don't know a lot stuff on how it's run..

Kyon22>> Business as usual, mate.

NExt person to b**** about CF's location will get a whole shitload of flaming from me.

What do u guys do when going there?

lol.that's cool.
kaname kuran rock (=

Comments like this get me all worked up and upset. I wish I can explain to you guys how unfair this comparison is, but it's not in my power to do so.

Like Fyonne said, CF's main focus is the doujins and artists. A lot of cons here care more for the gaming side, like you can see from ACF, ACGC, etc. but do not really help out with local artists. CF's main purpose is to cover this under-appreciated group. Cosplay in itself is actually an art, so they also extend support for cosplaying. CF has always had the largest amount of doujin booths, they always made doujin circles the priority.

I'm an art major myself, I've been supporting, attending and now volunteering for the last 6 years, buying local doujins in support, selling my own. I know there's a lot of room for improvement, but I've seen them try to overcome it.

My comments are NOT on behalf of CF, these are my own opinions. Do not in any way think that I represent them in speaking to the public.

And this is why CF and LYN will never get along.

This however, is MY own unharnessed opinion. Sure GACC does have seiyuus and singers coming and yeah, i think why CF can't do the same. Yeah, GACC has a biggger budget but CF labels itself as a premier event at the end of the year in Malaysia. Do take note that the highlight of CF is now no longer doujin circles. Most people i come across go to CF because of the cosplay events on the second day.

So where's the contradiction?

I'm not denying you the right to explain how unfair my comparison is. But do take a further look at my comments AFTER that. I'm not going to b**** that CF should get a seiyuu though i wish they would do the same IF possible.

I'm sorry but I don't see how the main highlight aren't the doujin circles/artists. There's Artist Booth competitions, Art Competitions, hopefully art exhibitions and also art workshops. Of course the Cosplay Competition is there too, but there's only one cosplay oriented event as opposed to the other events. Just because majority attend for a different reason does not change the main purpose of CF.

I cannot deny some do go for the cosplays only (cosplayers and non-cosplayers alike). But hey it's kind of like our own Comiket, their main purpose is the doujins, but lots do go just to cosplay/see cosplays. There's no controlling the turnout, and as not many ACG fans are artists I guess not many will be interested in the art, but CF has always acted as a platform for the local artists to have a chance to showcase and sell their work and maybe make a name for themselves, regardless of how the response is towards the local doujin scene.

I'm with you on being happy the location is not in the middle of nowhere this time around. I didn't like Sri Sedaya much, Times Square was good but sempit and not to mention the rempits harrassing cosplayers. There was a bunch of them sitting on the car park entrance obstructing my group from transporting our booth items. =(

If I have a large wad of cash to donate, instead of inviting seiyuus I'd invite mangakas XD (Obata Takeshi I still want to meet you in person someday...)

This post has been edited by Kiraneko: Nov 17 2008, 04:57 PM

i sole reason to go CF is to buy artbook/doujin stuff. i dun rely that on other convention though.

n bout sieyuus shiet, like my previous post b4, i would rather too they invite manga-ka, or artist instead.

n im not siding CF here, i well, had some misunderstanding with CF ppl b4 (really bad one). Just went there help my fren with their doujin/artbook (few of them doin it)

That's my own observation. You won't always have people agreeing with you. But hey, if they can and want to invite a mangaka, go right ahead. Maybe Ken Akamatsu as a first. :3

Frankly, it'll be all the better if GACC was more animation and cosplay related and CF goes back to its roots ie manga and doujin.

As it is, in my opinion and with agreement from fellow ACGers(not necessarily from this forum), CF is still too rife with internal issues and bickering. Then there's the US vs THEM elitism they always have had.

Yea, there's no way of pleasing everybody. But they do try. =)

I don't want to comment on internal issues because well, I'm not involved in that, but I'm curious about the elitism issue. Think you can PM me about the details? Because well, I'd like to hear 2 sides of a story before judging, and feedback is always good.

well bickering and what not... i guess should all be put to rest to make way for the event!!!

i actually find Sri Sedaya not too bad... d first year they had it there was bad coz no idea where's d location. but d second time it was held at least already know d place. ah Sunway sounds good too tho XD

my concern is that... if the place is too big, we won't manage to catch all d cosplayers. There was this year... cant remember... is it the National Art Gallery or something? *fuzzy memory* hm it was really big, and didn't get to catch all d cosplayers (altho, can never catch ALL, toooooo many of them!!! XD XD XD) coz it was scattered >__<

i dun cosplay... but since i juz bought my yukata, gonna wear it there with my friends

I'm going to this one

I think I need to bring my Yaoi Fangirls' basher.

I will defend my Yaoi!... but I won't defend rabid fangirls XD

What is more annoying than a yaoi fangirl? A yaoi fanboy..

urgh...may i know any foreign doujins coming to this event?

Tony Taka will be there with his C75 doujin.

Yohoo, i'll be cosplaying during CF de~!!! XDD I expect this year CF gonna get more crowds as usually each year... ^^ (so tempting now~~ ^^)

Ohh~! & BTW, no yaoi/yuri actions promote during CF u all no... (somehow i hear got ppl misunderstand the circlustatus while they attend those kind of public event le... =_=)

ZCdave>> Hi buddy! Don't worry, u won't be alone while there r a lot of new cosplayer u can make friends with during your time there. XD (i'm also cosplaying ya, hehe...)

lemme know the schedule 1st (depart and arrive etc). if everything goes well, i might join u guys.

I got the invitation too but I think I couldnt make it for the days. Kinda busy that time.

they shld contact Japan society to get some form of sponsorship and assistance in bringing in special guest. this is what AFA08 did. japan society is very open to this kiond of thing cos it promotes their culture overseas!

how about you stfu and say yes.
