Comic Fiesta is back! And now, larger than ever! For those who don't know what Comic Fiesta is, it is
Malaysia’s longest-running and most epic convention that focuses on animation, comics and games (ACG). They take pride in celebrating all aspects of art and creativity (as well as the ever popular ACG culture), collecting all these elements in one location and unleashing this melting pot of human ingenuity to all members of society, both locally and internationally.
Responsible for ushering in the rapidly-expanding ACG community into Malaysia, Comic Fiesta (CF) is proudly an event by fans for fans. This is the first and the biggest non-profit ACG convention in Malaysia, organized by a group of passionate individuals brought together by one common goal, and powered by a massive community of professionals, amateurs and enthusiasts of all age groups.

And now, I'll tell you my experience of two whole day attending this fantastic event, with lots and lots of pictures!
The first thing that you should now about this event is, it is REALLY large. You can see a sea of people outside and inside the hall. Because I'm too lazy too pre-order the early bird ticket, I had to queue up in a very, very long line. Spent 2 hours queuing to buy the tickets for both of the day. Oh well.
|
Finally got my ticket! Now ready to enter! |
|
A little powder there and over here. Yosh! |
Al right! All set up! Lets go inside!
As you can see, a very big yet crowded event. Lots of booths and shop to meet to your heart desire.
|
We got Bushiroad as usual promoting their game, Cardfight Vanguard. |
|
A serious video game matches between these people. |
|
Yup, that's my drawing. I don't have a slight idea on what I'm drawing at that time. |
|
One of the guest attending CF, Redjuice! He works as an illustrator for many famous anime character design, such as Guilty Crown. |
|
And here we got Danny's booth, Mirai's Kopitiam. Lots of Culture Japan goods displayed and sold here. |
And now, behold the sight of some of the amazing figurines!
The stage event was undeniably fun and crazy! The MC was hilarious and crazy!

Let's not forget the Cosplay comptition.
|

Aww, a very romantic encounter on stage. Some of them do say that CF is a place to find true love. |
|
And.... lets not forget for the dame gender too. Yaoi? |
At that night, our ear were feast on by an amazing concert by Bless 4.

|

|
All of the Comic Fiesta Committee, gathering up to show their gratefulness towards the wonderful visitors of Comic Fiesta. Yes, we are awesome. |
And, to end the day, they decided to held an awesome dance off party, surrounded by booming anime techno trance and shrouded with mist and sweat.
Nevertheless, Comic Fiesta is a hectic yet epic event. Only one word that I could come out with to describe it, and it is..... LEGENDARY!
|
Loots! Loots! And more loots! |
