Time passes quickly doesn’t it? With the passing of winter, some of my faves from last season, like Another and Nisemonogatari have also ended. Anime fans will have lots to look forward this season though, with the return of a certain Type-Moon anime and the sequel to one of my favourite sci-fi mecha anime. Now, its time to check out what my personal anime picks for the Spring…

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!

New Year, new anime season, less HDD space. The winter season has brought not just cool weather, but a slew of new anime series as well. Some of my faves from last season include Fate/Zero and Un-Go. While the current crop of anime will not need to compete with one of Type Moon’s most popular series (the creators, wisely, splitting the series into two seasons), they will still have to go against other series like Last Exile – Fam the Silver Wing, Guilty Crown and Persona 4. So let us check out the series’ which I think will stand out from the pack this season…
