AFA gets Malaysian spinoff – AFAMY
A little late, but still big news nonetheless. Our fellow otaku brothers and sisters from across the Causeway will have their own version of Anime Festival Asia, dubbed “Anime Festival Asia Malaysia” or “AFAMY” for short. Not many details have been released about the event so far, beyond that the event will be held at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) from June 9 to 10.
I cannot comment on the location as I have not been to PWTC before but if UMNO holds their yearly General Assembly there, I am sure it should be a pretty good location (though Facebook comments have indicated that it might not be as big as Suntec in terms of floor size). Check back at Animenauts for more news and updates regarding AFAMY!
