AFAX: A Journey to the South - Part II

The day has finally come! Had an early start in the morning to join forces with comrades from the Republic to storm the front. Getting there is no easy task as we had to wade thru the urban jungle by boarding a high-speed car on rails…

Seems like Ranka-chan is very worked up as well! XDc

A special note: The couple over the left is my companion guards while the one on the right is comrade joeltng, who incidentally lives just close by near to my current temporary base of operations…

Reaching the site to find the crowd has already throng the place, human-walling the entrance to our goal. After wading thru the seas of meat-bags, the tiny number of us wait patiently for the opening of the gate to heaven…

!!!

That’s joeltng’s Nendo Saber Lion BTW, I wonder what she saw back then… ^^;

And the crowd goes wild as soon as the gate creaks open! Wait… Is that a couple of mathematically superior Cirno!? 0_0

It’s a war zone out there, a f**king god d**n war!

Oh look! It’s comrade alyukito and comrade kodomut!

It seems May’n's shineitai also having a rough time getting beyond the gate… He actually found my Ranka-chan sit in waiting earlier and greeted her! XDc

Having the fleeting feet Perk is no laughing matter, I managed to grab my desired jewels in just as soon as I entered the gate, leaving me with extra sands in the glass to do various sniping works… ^_~

Stumble upon this harem full of lovely daughters to satiate my lust for a good eye candy… =3=

GSC’s booth displays a second prototype of Figma Mirai complete with her own BJD in her own image! Looks like she’ll be up for POs later this moon and will be available in March next Earth cycle…

Too much is going on all the time I was in pursuit of true happiness beyond the gate, but I managed to snipe my targets one by one as I went along the flow of the moving crowds…

Chomp Nom Nom helps out in one of the booths, urging the crowd to buy his wears… But if we do that what will happen to his censored undies, as we may have to take off his “WEAR”? :o

Didn’t spent too much time for the Cosplayers, as I’m berry busy at dropping other designated targets… But I do managed to capture several of them at various time slots as I journey down the day…

A certain Nanonut is very pleased to learn that the nightmare before Christmas last Earth cycle did not return to haunt him… ^_~

There’s a trio of itasha displays on site too! Too bad I learned that the officials will strip the vehicle after this event… >,<

Soon the screening of Culture: Japan and later Gundam 00: Awakening of a Trailblazer movie will starts, so I had to make my way to the other gate to secure some sits for myself and my companions.

In the end I ended up joining the comrades from the Republic at front row seats while my supposed companion guards had managed to lost themselves in the wild wild crowds… Sorry I had to give up you guys… ^^;

Afterthoughts on the movie? It’s a fine one especially the battle scenes (as expected from a long tradition of Gundam history), but the plot kinda went astray introducing an alien invasion, which never happened before in any Gundam series as Gundam has always been a harsh depiction of war between opposing human factions… ^^;

There’s still some time after the movie until the next much-anticipated event, so I return to the hunt…

Walked pass the harem earlier only to find some new faces and Haruka playing with my dolphin! 0_0 BTW, this Haruka, as well as Mirai and BRS belonged to their father, comrade Arayden who’s unavailable at the time, thus they’re in the care of uncle Trooper TK8316…

Going back to the other gate to meet Hanazawa Kana, the lovely seiyuu behind many cute voices like Kuroneko (OreImo), Kanade (Angel Beats!), Nadeko (Bakemonogatari) and Amano Touko (Bungaku Shoujo)!

The meet and greet session when she’s answering questions and doing live dubbing of a scene from Angel Beats and Black Rock Shooter doesn’t allow sniping, so there’s no pictorial evidence of my accomplishment… >,<

Some weeks before this event, led by comrade saiseki, we actually made a petition to coax the officials to do a Hanazawa Kana signature session, but alas our petition managed only to collect 55 signatures and fell on the official’s deaf ears…

However, during the Q&A session Hanazawa-san did offer to random-pick 5 lucky people (From hundreds of seat numbers) to have her signature! The hall immediately imploded with cheers (More like manly cry LOL) from her avid fans gathered inside the place, comrade saiseki included… ^_~ With sheer luck he is one of the lucky receivers of Hanazawa’s signature! :Dc Everyone in our group of comrades are totally happy for him!

However, there’s a correction needed to be dictated here: =3= The picked seat number is A12, which belongs to comrade zh3us. As zh3us is not really interested he gave up the opportunity to comrade saiseki. In truth, A12 was my seat before I left after the Gundam movie screening, so it should have been me instead! ^^;

But never mind since comrade saiseki really did sacrificed a lot these past couple of days, stalkin-I-mean-staking in wait at the airport for Hanazawa-san’s arrival overnite and doing the petition in the first place, as well as doing fan arts as a gift to her. Too bad the officials forbid further contact with her that saiseki didn’t manage to give her his gift…

BTW, I’m also a huge fan of Hanazawa-san so I’m pretty disappointed I’m not picked… ^^;

After the meet and greet, I managed to hunt some more cosplayers during the rest of the day. This is one particularly cute Klan Klan I’ve ever seen! <3

Can I take her home? XDc

And thus end of day 01, my total HP level almost depleted as my mind, soul and body ached from the exhaustion…

What event comes with no acquisitions? ^_~

This is what I managed to grab: Horo T-Shirt, Horo Strap and Nendo Amano Tooko… :3c

Oh wells must drop dead onto my futon for the next day… Zzzz…
