Official Press for #C3AFASG18: C3 Anime Festival Asia Singapore 2018
And while I'd earlier introduced this year's 10th Anniversary Edition of C3AFA, today we have a host of updates - including official press, images, AND a animated opening for Anime Festival Asia (see above) starring its mascot character "Seika"!
Scroll thru for official press+images for C3 Anime Festival Asia Singapore 2018 - happening 30th November to 2nd December 2018 (Exhibition Timing: 10am ~ 8pm) @ Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre (Levels 3 & 4).
And while I/TOYSREVIL is neither a dedicated "official blog" or "media sponsor" in this regard, I am personally delighted to be able to witness a decade of the event, AND I've always been treated well, and that is as reassuring and comforting, especially for a blog whose primary focus is not exactly J-pop culture or anime based (But I sure do love my anime tho lol) ... from when I was first invited to attend the press conference in 2008, I cannot wait to soak in #C3AFASG18! THANK YOU for remembering and considering TOYSREVIL, AFA :)
ANIME PREMIERES & SCREENINGS: "Bringing the latest and hottest anime titles yearly, fans can look forward to a series of exclusive premieres. Organisers announced that the festival will screen the Asian premiere of the first episode of the highly-anticipated Mob Psycho 100 II, ahead of its official debut in January 2019. The series features an eighth grader with psychic abilities, and is an action-packed comedy series from the author of One Punch Man."
