The Tokyo Anime Fair 2007 is open to the public tomorrow and Sunday and costs 1,000 yen to get in. Went along yesterday on press/business day and came home to fall asleep in the afternoon exhausted from anime overload!
Going to split the report into the following sections...
I've also added a load of related videos to the Otavids section - most of it being OPs for anime in this post.
This report is being brought to you by Akihabara News and dannychoo.com.
A quick look at the booty I brought back. If you are going, the first thing you should do is look for people handing out these huge bags so that you can nab stuff from each booth and fling it in.
Going to split the report into the following sections...
- Today: Tokyo Anime Fair 2007
- Saturday: TAF2007 - Part2
- Sunday: TAF2007 - Figures (yes they had loads)
- Monday: TAF2007 - Gundam (gunpla at the Bandai booth)

Some mecha which look rather out of proportion.
Never got into Naruto or Bleach personally.
Play Gundam Musou at the Bandai booth. Looks so good in HD and makes my plasma look sad.
Confess that I have not watched Mai Hime at all.
Lots of Guren Ragan here and there - looks like a must watch. Cute Bishojo character and Mecha = must watch.
Look in the Otavids for the PV.
Akira fans may know about FREEDOM. Didnt like it myself though.

Very Coolsome Karas statue (outfit?)

Awesome photos Danny! You have gotten a lot of stuff as well. :) Just wondering, how do you keep getting press pass? Do you dress up in stormtrooper aromor and point the blaster at them asking "I insist on getting one" ? XD (*Joking*)

Nice photos. I really like Freedom Project but I think the animation is a little stiff sometimes, they should have used some mo-cap or something like that.

I had no idea that the fair was this weekend. Things like this creep up so quickly. Anyway, it's good that you're here as in that way (a lot of us) can live vicariously through you. Kudos on the site too, lots of information but not cluttered.
