AFA-thermath 2012

AFA at EXPO?! Wah. So far.

Turns out, it wasn’t too bad a choice. More space is good and nothing will tear the fans from a good AFA. There were plenty of fellow doujin-kas, plenty of customers and plenty of sales. There was even some variety of booths and some interesting ones too! We heard stories about things that happened at the concert but since we didn’t go for any of them, we are perfectly happy with this AFA. The only sore point was the absolute lack of Chuu2koi cosplayers. Where is the love for delusionally cute girls?

So rather than tell you everything about AFA, let’s talk about the lessons from the event (and Culture Japan Night 2012. Since that is practically AFA Day 4)

#CDS0034: Darkness Note – Chronicles of the Ethereal Horizon

It took weeks but I have finally uncover the secrets of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai. At first, I did not understand it. What is this Chuunibyou? It sounds like a kiss. Chuu~ Kiss the bowl?

Then as I watch the anime, I was enlightened. Something came to me. The anime. Kyo-ani was telling me something. What? What could it be? Should I go kissing bowls? Will that unlock the dimensional door that allows me to go into Banishment, this world? Will it allow me to HNGGGG at Rikka from episode 5 without overdosing on the moe?

I was frustrated and then I got a whole bunch of artists to put my thoughts on paper. Together, we shall unveil this mystery of Chuunibyou and together, we shall put on such a flamboyant, imaginative display of affection for this crazy, cute and so nostalgic anime that the brilliant minds of Kyo-ani had animated.

Banishment, this world!

#CDS0032 and #CDS0033: Sword Art Online galore

You can’t get away from Sword Art Online. It is everywhere and the CDS artists can’t get enough of it. So this AFA, we bring you a whole bunch of SAO-themed products. From the small and simple to the very complicated and epic, there is something for everyone who wants a piece of Asuna (and now we know, Shinon).

Read on to see what we have for you!
