And we’re back in STGCC!

Year 2008. Back then, CDS was just started and we took a gamble with a booth at the then-new STGCC. It was fun and all but after that, CDS never went back. The booth prices had gone up and as a doujin group, we are not inclined to paying those kind of prices.

However, that didn’t mean that we don’t like STGCC. Every year, we went back to see how things are. To have fun and stuffs like that. STGCC usually takes a less anime-hardcore, more western focus of ‘geekdom’ which isn’t really our thing. But we know a nice, fun event when we see one.

This year, suddenly anime. We found the STGCC website announcing the arrival of Japanese guests such as Kipi, Kishida Mel and Itou Shizuka. Now we gotta find our way back into the event. Thus begins Operation STGCC.

#CDS0027: Puella Magi

Back in April, I ran a poll on our Facebook. “What new anime series this season do you most want to see fan art of?” Second guessing myself, I provided the option, ‘Screw them all. Madoka FTW!” Well, Madoka won and Madoka was last season.

Even now, the Madoka series is still popular and still fresh in our minds. With that, we present to you the CDS Madoka illustration anthology, #CDS0027 Puella Magi

Double Team

A good partnership is one which both partners bring something to the table. Where one side is lacking, the other partner will provide. With the combined efforts and resources of both partners, they can accomplished what they would not be able to do so individually.

On our part, CDS enjoys a good partnership just like anyone else. We have been fortunate enough to know a good number of contacts and enjoy a good working relationship with them. Occasionally a new opportunity arise and we took it gratefully. It is quite a coincidence that for the two upcoming major events, we will be partnering with commercial entities to bring you some pretty cool stuffs.

Read on to see what you can find at STGCC and ACME over at (not) our booths!
