I might get flame for this but i need to get something off my shoulder...

What is this exhibition's niche supposed to be anyway? And why is manga, figurines, arcade games, cosplay, jrock and whatnot featured in an anime expo? Does the anime in the title mean anything to the organisers? Why don't they stop insulting our intelligence and just call it the Japan Popular Culture festival or something like that.

Didn't go the previous time round because I predicted it would be underwhelming and I guess it would probably the same this time round.

Okay, flame away....

[el_leumas]

I agree. but I believe that the individual demographics for each of the sectors u mentioned might be too small to justify holding a convention or renting a hall, and hence they decide to group all of this sub-groups together.

and yeah, jpn culture convention should be more accurate, but it lacks the ooomz doesnt it?

[Komano]

no DOUGHJIN no oomz loh.

[kitsura]

There probably are doujins but would you want Singapore versions. And non-H types are also considered doujin.

[Komano]

I meant H doujins
