For we must all learn to howl.

Kira and I popped by the Funan Anime Matsuri (FAM) that was going on through all of last week - we went on Thursday because that was the only day off that I had from classes, and we really wanted to check out the stalls and displays as well as try out our finished cosplays. I'm not sure if anyone remembers a slightly old post of mine when I said that I was working on a personal project, and that I'd reveal all the details in time - tadaa, this is it! I spent the whole trimester break working on the costume and props for this cosplay, and I have to say that I really put all of my effort into it. Yes, I was working on the cosplay for San from Mononoke Hime - anyone who knows me well knows that I'm absolutely obsessed with this movie, having watched it at a young age. As a child I wanted so badly to be able to be as strong and fierce as San was, and this is a sentiment that still rings true even as a young adult. The cosplay wasn't very easy - I had trouble wi...

It's been one hell of a hectic weekend, with barely any time for rest after the final submission on Thursday - I had to use Friday to prep for EOY 2015, and well it was so intimidating because I hadn't cosplayed in so long and was obviously nervous. On top of that, I'd only ever gone as Misa from the Death Note series, so could it really be counted as cosplaying? Either way, I was set on going for EOY with or without proper preparation - I just wanted to get back into the feel of things again because it had been so long since I attended a cosfest, and quite frankly speaking I'd missed it. I missed being able to go for these things and geek out over stuff with others who'd very happily geek along too because it was something we all had in common while at the event. Picture highlights of day one: It's Cardcaptor Sakura and Misa! Decided to forgo the wig this time because I finally realised how fucked the fringe was and seriously, I was tired of bringin...

Yep, I went there today. AFA 2013, the biggest anime festival that we probably have in Singapore. It's like Comic-Con for anime - everybody, and I mean everybody  shows up for this. The festival always has tons and tons and tons of people attending, be they otakus or slightly less passionate fans of anime and Japanese pop culture. You'll also have, as usual, the cosplayers. Ah, the cosplayers. You'll have your regular cosplayers going as characters from the current series that everyone at least knows about (such as Shingeki no Kyojin or Free! this season), the others who go as characters from other series that might be over but certainly won't be forgotten just yet (like One Piece), the ones who go as characters from classic anime series that everyone knows and expects to see, at least a bit, every year (I'd be talking about Pokemon here. Every goddamned year. ). You'll also have the cosplayers who decide to go as characters from popular video games like ...
