Funan Anime Matsuri 2014

Funan Anime Matsuri- As the name suggested, it is an anime event in which there are workshops for cosplayers to improve themselves, some anime screenings, anime merchandises sale, etc. It could be said to be a mini AFA event. Due to work, I could only be free to go there on the weekends which are packed with lots of people that may well give me headache just from being there.(nah, just kidding>.< but man, the crowd is no joke...-_-) 



There are a few booths due to the small area. First, there is a maid cafe which can be said to be a must for an anime event(judging from the anime events I went over the years, there is always a maid cafe without fail!) Next, behind the cafe is a card game area where TCG players can play card game there with their friends. Heard that there are tournanments going on there. You can also purchase cards there. Following up will be appealing to MA fans!-The cherry credits booth! If you play MA and follow the MA Fb page, you would know of the events installed for this anime events. At the booth, there will be people giving out free postcards. There are a total of 2 designs. One person is only entitled to one though you can easily just take one and come back to get the other design... 

The 2 designs are the two on the left while the right one is the bingo card. One can obtain the bingo card after you send a SMS to the given number at the booth, identify yourself as a MA player by showing the game to the people there before registering your name and email. You will be given a puncher to punch any random 5 numbers. After that, at certain time, there will be draws of numbers for the bingo event. If the number you punched are all been picked up, then shout out "BINGO!" and get checked by the people. If the people checked that it is right then yes, you won yourself either a poster or a pillow. 

If I had to talk about this Bingo event, I doubt I can control myself from writing all the bad experience about it... Nonetheless, as always, I congrats those lucky winners who won!

Moving on, there is an anime mechanise sale that is from GoodSmile Company. I'm sure any figurine collector would hear before this company since the goods it produced is top-notch but the cost wise... It isn't that bad but it is not something you buy like nothing; the products aren't cheap... I was planning not to spend anything but focus on that freaking MA Bingo event. However, after seeing the booth there selling anime stuff that is likely not available in Japan anymore, I decided to buy two random anime boxes from the anime series MGLN movie FIRST!

All the designs plus a secret char...
 I bought two of these boxes, hoping to get my fave char or second fave but...
 In the end, didn't get any of them despite the fact that there are 5 designs of them which is 50% probability yet... I gotten the other characters(sigh...) It's not that I dislike them or anything but they are just not my fave that's all...Regardless, they are still Nendoroid so it's still fine. 

In addition, there are displays of figurines that the booth is selling.

Thought of buying Madoka Nendoroid but after seeing the price...I think I will admire her from the display instead... It is sadly too costly for me to bring her home... The same goes for the Miku Nendoroid...

Lastly, the other booths are mainly on the some upcoming anime movies like K movie: return of the missing King or something along that line and an intro to One Piece PS Vita game.

Aside from these main booths, there were other booths set up on the fifth floor of Funan on the weekends where people sell anime stuff they made by themselves, such as badges, keychains, posters, shirts, etc.-Something like what EOY booths sell. I went to the MA booth for the free gacha but apparently, I was too late. In the end, I still bought one.
Initally, I gotten Andromedia but after my brother gotten a second of that poker card and wanted to exchange with me, I decide to change since I'm not really a fan of Andromedia or anything. Rather I'm a bit scared of encountering her... 

That's about it then. Overall, it was fun and look forward to the next year's event! This is Will signing off, ja ne~
