Otome Experience at Anime Expo 2019
If you read my previous post, you already know that I only had the opportunity to attend Anime Expo 2019 for one day. I thus was unable to see and do all things otome but allow me to share what I managed to get done anyway.NTT Solmare Corp (Shall we date?), cybird and Voltage Otome Romance were present at AX 2019. Yes, I did say Voltage Otome Romance. (They didn’t hold a booth the year prior but did so this year!)

Anime Expo 2017: About Day 3 & 4
Blue Spring Ride
On day 3 of Anime Expo 2017, I had sweated my way to the JW Marriot to watch Natsume’s Book of Friends only to learn about 5 minutes before the showing (from an employee/volunteer) that they weren’t able to get a hold of it and thus won’t be able to show it… Can we say wtf? There wasn’t a lot of people in the video room to begin with but everyone present was silent. They all were having a wtf moment. I obviously was bummed out since I really wanted to see Natsume’s Book of Friends. Oh well, right?
Instead of Natsume’s Book of Friends, AX played Blue Spring Ride for us. I can’t tell you how close I was to leaving. I’m glad to have stuck around though because I found myself liking Blue Spring Ride. I think I liked it because I was able to somehow relate to the main female character. It also helped how the main male character’s voice was nice… Like, you make me melt type of nice. Lol (If I could fall in love with a voice, it’d be this particular voice actor ‘s voice. Lol)
After three episodes of Blue Spring Ride, the room got cleared and it was time for me to get some grub.

One Piece Cinema Kabuki screening
On Black Friday, I somehow found out about a free screening event for One Piece Super Kabuki II. The screening took place yesterday and I of course attended! Attendees ranged from One Piece fans, Kabuki enthusiasts to neither of the two. I will be honest and say that I had never read One Piece (manga). But despite this, I was still able to understand and follow the Kabuki cinema screening. I think the introduction prior to the start of the screening was helpful. That, along with whatever I looked up on One Piece prior to my attending the screening at TCL Chinese 6 Theatres. -
Anime Expo, a first timer’s experience
Believe it or not, but Anime Expo 2015 was the first Anime Expo I’ve ever attended. I believe I never cared enough to attend until 2014. Strangely enough, it wasn’t because of some revived interest in anime that made me want to attend in 2014; it was the otome games. I kid you not. But by the time I had found out that Voltage would be showing up at Anime Expo 2014, Anime Expo 2014 had already ended. (I believe I found out on the last day of Anime Expo 2014 or something…)
