On Sunday the 4th December there was the Anime Festival organised by Animu!
I went there as representative of Talented Mauritian Artists to promote the artworks of the members, using a flash animation as found on the site, along with the different artworks of the members in files (special thanks to Jason Tse, Vincent Manargadoo, Stel Chung and Jeremy Lan). I kinda felt guilty of not being able to do much for the artists, specially writers, singers, musicians, craftsmen, amongst others. But I was glad for having met up with so many members for the first time!
There was the Aritst Alley represented by Christelle Barbe, K-San, Emi Lee, Kyky Otaku, Shailee Elliah and Lionel Anthony. On the other side was found the sponsor table selling mangas, magazines and badges, and there was also Yu Gi Oh card game being held throughout the event by Desyre Allan Victorien. Beside the TMA table, Noah Nany was doing digital portraits for interested customers! Activites like the Live Drawing Contest, Live Drawing Demonstration and Cosplay Contest were being held too! The winners of the different contests can be found on the website of Animu itself!
Personal views about the event: lack of activities or due to the too long duration, at a certain part of day the attendees had nothing to do but walking around the premises, and unclear judging of the winners of different categories since many have been doubting about the outcomes. But I sincerely thank the organisers for their effort put into setting up the event with limited support!!
Waiting for similar events in Mauritius in 2012!
