Students and guests were dressed to the hilt in their costumes depicting various characters such as Naruto, Bleach and Final Fantasy with clothes purchased from Japan or tailor made. The 50 strong AniManGaki crew had been planning the event for six months. The festive atmosphere resembling the Harajuku in Japan also had mini Omatsuri (traditional Japanese festival) featuring goldfish scooping and Japanese yoyo water balloons. There were also Doujin booths in which amateur artists sold their “fanarts”.
The air was electric as “cosplayers” posed and mingled in their eye-catching costumes. There were also live band performances, movie screenings and a karaoke competition.
President of SUAC, Yvonne Sing, an American Degree Transfer Program student at Sunway who is also a Doujin artist of 2 years said, “We learnt a lot during the planning of the event such as teamwork and communication skills but we enjoyed it. I’m glad that it turned out to be really awesome with an attendance that was greater than expected.”
