The 2010 Animangaki Convention was bigger, brighter and more exciting as the committee members had raised the bar from the first Animangaki debut in 2009. With more emphasis on Japanese pop culture and competitions such as cosplay, karaoke and Omatsuri, a festival of Japanese games; this event was overflowing with many passionate and enthusiastic Anime fans.

The Yonkoma competition allowed participants to design their own plot for a four panel comic strip according to an interesting storyline whereas the anime music video competition allowed participants to come up with an inspirational music video of their favourite anime.
The committee also catered for the Halloween crowd by setting up a haunted house that channeled a night filled with terrifying lights, sounds and silence. For music enthusiasts, bands such as Zeolite, Hybrid, Lost Decibels and Remember put on a powerful performance of their favourite anime theme songs and Japanese pop songs while the Sunway Ensemble integrated the beauty of both classical and contemporary music to their audience.
