Anime Festival Asia 11 Report Part 1: Saito Chiwa Live Dubbing

At last year's Anime Festival Asia, I went in with my eyes peeled and camera ready for photo-ops, mentally ready to take notes and burn moments into my memory, with the intention of documenting my experience afterwards. Not that I ever fully completed my report...but I did have an amazing time, and I was glad to be able to share it in writing – didn't matter if anyone was interested in reading.

This year, though? Not so much; I was tired after a long week of work and all I wanted to do was enjoy it. Just attend the events and visit the booths I was really interested in, don't bother about anything else then go home and rest. Kind of a pity in hindsight. There was so much worth writing about.

It's been a month. Let's see how much of it I can remember.

A belated birthday wish and an early one

Just a quick one...

All photos taken from Kalafina's official blog

Keiko turned 26 on the 5th of December, while Wakana turns 27 on December 10. It seems they had a mini-celebration together. With cake.

I'm going purely by Google translate here, but I think Wakana's holding her birthday present in the first one, while Keiko's modelling her very pink gift. Adorable~

Happy Birthday Keiko and Wakana! May you have many, many wonderful years (hopefully filled with lots of singing) ahead of you.

Offhand, I can't tell which part of the manga this scene is from...does anyone know? I'm not ruling out the possibility that this is something new.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Sato Takeru is really managing to look the part. That's quite a feat in itself. First major hurdle crossed.

That's Takei Emi/Kaoru, right? She looks like...a poor Japanese girl. Which is about right, but from just images it's harder to tell with Kaoru whether the actress fits the character.

More images, plz! A trailer would be awesome too.

I keep saying I don't want to get my hopes, and it's still way too early to tell up but all these images and details are making me a very excited fan.
