Some event fluff here, blatantly stolen from their site:

Doujin Overload is an exhibition of the constantly evolving style of communication, art and entertainment called doujinshi. The organizer, Anime NZ Ltd, is composed of like-minded individuals who share a deep appreciation for this sophisticated and thought provoking medium of expression, and wish to share the experience of this style of art with the community

In other words, “Dirty foreigner stop messing with what we like.”

from canned dogs.

EDIT: dont worry folks, Visual arts KEY is still accessable, as are the other main sites, so go to them now..while you still can.

So it has come to this…

Some foreigner seems to be having an antipathy against EROGE.
Therefore, We prohibited the access from foreign countries, to defend our culture.
Sorry for you of the fan that lives in a foreign country.

Congrats to the Dream Walkers!

Congratulations to the release of Xuan’s debut original work, Dream Walker! All the best from the folks at Collateral damage studios! Ordering details can be found on Comix Pandora.

Support your local artists, explore the worlds they have created and let them take you on a wild ride! Local works have often been subject to much prejudice and ridicule in the past, to the chagrin of the older generation of artists; Now that talented young artists everywhere are putting in their best to show what they have to offer, dont disappoint them and give them your appreciation by offering your support!If you havent heard of titles like  The Resident Tourist, MUGEN and Dream walker, nows the time to see what Singaporeans can do in modern comic art!

EDIT: I just want to say that people should take a fair look at everything and not turn it down just because the product is made locally. On the flip side, one should judge the content for him/herself to see if it is worthy of attention, and not simply buy it just because it is local. Doing that sends the wrong message to everyone.
