On the 16th and 17th of March I went to Animax Carnival, an ACG event hosted by Animax, the only anime channel available in Asia, even though they have strayed from the anime path these past few years by running KDramas and Korean entertainment programs there which is the reason I no longer tune in to Animax. But as you all know, I can never pass up an opportunity to attend an ACG event.
DAY 1
At approximately 10am I met up with Yuki and Reira at the train station and we had to wait 50 minutes for the train. When we got on the train we went to the Putrajaya station and I met Ruui for the first time. We then got on Reira's sister's car and she dropped us off at Sunway Pyramid.
Here is how the venue looked like from the highest floor.
Meet Ruui. He was cosplaying as Hidenori from Daily Lives of High School Boys. I waited with him while Yuki and Reira went to get changed. When we got to the venue the line was just too long so we decided to not go in. Besides, most of the other cosplayers were outside too. Took me almost an hour to help Yuki and Reira get ready at this corner where we also left our bags at.
Yuki was Deidara that day so I only had to help him put on some black eyeliner and black nail polish. The pictures I took of him did not show his face so I had to steal this picture from a stranger who tagged him on Facebook. Credits to the stranger!
Reira was Default Hatsune Miku. I only helped her with sticking on her eyelashes and the rest she did herself. The wig was such a tangled mess but it was borrowed from someone else so we could not do much about it sadly.
Finally here I am with my Hello Kitty shirt and bunny hat that I got from last year's Comic Fiesta. I swear was not cosplaying but all these people still wanted to take my pictures. I walked around with Ruui a lot that day.
The first person we took a picture with was this Pepsi guy. Pepsi should seriously pay him for advertising them at the event.
Then there were some Fairy Tail and Youko x Boku SS cosplayers. There was one hot body half nude cosplayer but I was way too shy to ask for a picture.
Soon we bumped into Forat. Then for lunch me, Reira and Ruui ate some doughnuts from J.CO. Halfway through Forat decided to join us. It was so flattering that the people who worked there wanted our pictures too.
After lunch I bumped into Kieth who was cosplaying as Kirito from Sword Art Online. He was a senior of mine from secondary school and I have not seen him since he graduated but we used to chat online a lot.
I also met up with Afina, a junior of mine from secondary school who was Marceline from Adventure Time when we (Reira, Ruui and I) went to the arcade to kill some time. Everything about her was so cool!
A while later when we went back to the venue I saw these awesome military Counter Strike people.
Then I saw Momo again!
And also Christopher as Hibari. He looks like a balding old man in this picture. His wig was so uncooperative that day. Forat gave me his Fanta that I was holding in this picture by the way in case you are wondering why I am holding a Fanta.
Then when I got tired and went back to where we left our bags I hung out with Rin who was a friggin hot bishie.
She then stole my bunny hat. Gosh she is so gorgeous!
Eventually I met Jason who was a crow creature. He let me hold his shield and sword. Also met Amirrul who was standing behind me in this picture.
Soon Timmy AKA Keisuke who was Kirito came to join our little group.
Before I knew it our group grew and I hung out with these awesome peeps for the rest of the event. Soon when it was 7.30pm and we had to leave. Reira, Ruui, Forat and I took the KTM to Mid Valley for dinner. Jason also joined us but he took a taxi instead. By the time I got home it was 10pm and I was so tired.
DAY 2
My dear friend Nat picked me up from home at 9am. When we got to the venue it was 10am. The moment Yuki got there I helped him get ready at the same spot as the day before. I spent nearly an hour applying teal nail polish on him, grooming his manly eyebrows and doing his makeup. Sorry again Yuki for causing you so much pain.
This was the result of my work. He was Default Hatsune Miku. Credits to Sam Wu for this picture. I also spent another hour helping another friend with her makeup and helping another cosplayer to spike up his wig. I must say I did a pretty good job on those too. Unfortunately I have no pictures of them.
Nat and me were neko sisters. She was originally her own version of Cheshire Cat but since I decided to wear my neko ears as well, we decided to be neko sisters instead.
After doing all that work I met up with Jason who was Dead Pool. Poor Nat kept getting teased by him.
Also met up with Ruui!
When Ruui, Jason, Nat and I were on our way to get brunch we saw this really gorgeous Tifa cosplayer.
I finally saw a Hakuouki cosplayer too!
I also took a picture with this Munakata cosplayer.
For brunch we had Starbucks. People were staring at us while we were having our food and drinks. We also had plenty of laughter. After brunch we went back to the venue.
Momo was Predator that day.
Also got to see Ezzy. The awesome Kakashi cosplayer that I met during Comic Fiesta 2012.
And this dude with a super awesome costume. It was so hot outside that day I really salute him for wearing that.
Then there were these two siblings as Munakata and Fushimi. They were so awesome. Somehow one of them managed to find themselves in my photos.
This Byakuran from Katekyo Hitman Reborn cosplayer wanted a picture with me the same time I asked for his picture.
A random horse head minding his own business.
Then these Kuroko no Basuke cosplayers. The tall guy on the right, I took his pictures during last year's Comic Fiesta but I do not think he recognizes me.
At approximately 4pm everyone from the Underworld Runners Productions gathered outside the venue to shoot a second video.
At that time Jason changed into Batman and Reira finally arrived as Poison Ivy.
While waiting around I got to meet and talk to Martin, this Sebastian cosplayer. He was the only one who was Sebastian throughout the whole event.
Rin was Fushimi that day. Kakkoi as always.
Then Momo gave me and Nat paper roses that he made himself.
And there was this Akito cosplayer! I was so excited to see Akito!
I also got to meet Nodame, a Harley Quinn cosplayer. She was drinking Coca Cola when I asked her to take this picture with me.
There was also this little Batman there. He is Neo, a fellow cosplayer and choreographer's son. So adorable!
At 6pm they finished shooting everyone and we all had to leave.
While waiting for everyone to finish changing out of their costume I went around in circles while getting stopped to take pictures. I came across these awesome people dressed real cool.
Before we left I also bumped into Christina AKA Kii who was cosplaying as a Fairy Tail character and I joked about her bandages falling off.
Then me, Nat, Reira, Jason, Ezzy, the URP crew and Forat went to have dinner at Pappa Rich.
Here are Ezzy and Jason.
Aleef, the director of URP and Forat on the phone.
And here's Nat.
And here is me and Reira in her almost casual attire.
Then at 8.30pm Nat's driver finally arrived and by the time I got home it was 9.30pm and I was so tired.
I also filmed this video of Jason and Ruui fighting.
I also met Jeffrey Brown, a guy who makes cosplay videos during ACG events. Me and a few of my friends are in those videos.
And finally, here are my nails that I did for Animax Carnival. That is all for now, until next time!
