The Singapore Toy, Games and Comic Convention is once again upon us and the 2010 edition promises to be more exciting than the previous years’. As an official supporting blog of STGCC, Animenauts will be there covering the event live. But before we get too excited, let us take a sneak peek into what Japanese pop culture fans like us can look forward to…

The AFA X press conference has come and gone and Animenauts was not invited (sniff sniff). Nevertheless, we are still able to have a sneak-peek into what will be happening at AFA X on the 13th and 14th of November thanks to SGCafe’s Ooga and the official AFA X website. These are some of the highlights that you all can look forward to as well as some of my personal thoughts. More after the jump.
Update: The I Love Anisong VIP passes go on sale on the 23rd of September, 9am while the standing area passes will be available from the 30th of September.
While I didn’t make it for day one as I was at the Cosmo Youth Parade, I (together with my friends, Zieg and leafboi) managed to make it down to D’Marquee at Downtown East for day two of Cosfest IX.
Cosfest IX is an annual cosplay event organised by the Singapore Cosplay Club. Some of the highlights at Cosfest IX include the World Cosplay Summit (WCS) Singapore and Asia Cosplay Meet finals, the anime karaoke competition and a performance by the youth section of the Singapore Wind Symphony, Youth Winds.
A couple of friends and I went down to the Cosmo Youth Parade 2010 at *Scape to revel in the festivities and celebrate all that is youth culture.
Cosmo 2010, organised by Mascot Parade Limited, is part of the National Youth Council’s SHINE Youth Festival. The main event of Cosmo 2010 is the youth parade, which features youth dressing in various costumes and parading down the streets of Singapore. This year’s youth parade took place in downtown Singapore, from the *SCAPE McDonald’s to the front of the Mandarin Gallery.
