Tokyo International Anime Fair 2009
7
The Tokyo International Anime Fair 2009, one of the largest anime trade fairs in the world, was held last week in the Tokyo Big Sight, home of the Comiket too, the biggest comic convention in the world. Oh, and I want that Totoro in my room!
As always, pretty cosplayers are there posing, which is much more fun than trying to take paparazzi pictures of cosplayers in Akihabara ^^;; non-anime related, the Tokyo Big Sight is an incredibly astounding piece of weird architecture, more pictures of the outside on the same event here.
The Usavich rabbits ^^ if you don’t know who they are, you’re missing all the fun:
Some episodes are available at the official Usavich website (in Japanese), if you have ten minutes then go ahead and watch them all!
You start feeling old when you no longer recognize cosplayers — that’s my case. If anyone can point me in the right direction I’d be grateful ^^
Finally a familiar face, Gundam 00. I’ve only seen one episode but it’s on my to-do list!
And that’s Keroro-chan, I know little about him though.
On a previous post, I wrote about crunchyroll becoming a public Japanese Company. If you don’t know what’s crunchyroll, it’s an anime/asian drama video streaming website with loads of content. They started out indie and now are very big. They introduced themselves on this fair and I hope my friend Osk got that covered for me, will let you guys know about it ^^.
Contribution by my friend Katarina — thanks!
