And it’s Day 2 of the STCC 2008 as I revisit the site for another round of pictures (and the Anime Cosplay Competition). I must be nuts =D.

As you can see from the above picture, it is a world of difference compared to Day 1 with the mountains of people conspicously absent. Well it is a Sunday and fortunately they decided to abolish the registration system in Day 1 and allow unrestricted entry.

Therefore, there were far less people in the early hours of the convention allowing me to take a better look at the booths in the area and actually get a chance to try out some of the stuff there.

Some new DS games. As if the title NEW Super Mario Bros. didn’t make it clear =P

Had a hand in trying out. Should get one of those games for my DS.

I managed to catch the Masked Rider Hibiki performers this time before they got on stage. Not a fan of the Masked Rider shows though.

Listen kids, fake muscles make you look good!

Was incomplete in Day 1 but they finished it now I guess.

Bowling with the Wii. I prefer tennis.

And the kids at having fun agonising over their Gundam model parts.

“Train hard young padawan or whack you with this green stick I shall!”

There was a Rubiks booth which I missed previously. They were giving Rubiks cube solving demonstrations and this guy did his in 18 seconds right in front of me O_o.

Brain Cracker is more accurate me thinks.

Omfg such speed!

Yes! Chinese people know Kung Fu!

Okay enough with the exhibits. What you guys want is Cosplay right? I can feel it oozing through the internet and out of my LCD screen. However, I’ve got alot of pics so I’ll be splitting the Cosplay to 2 posts. Here’s the shots I took inside of the Convention Hall.

Back again from Streetfest 2008.

And of course we have our Stromtroopers who are ever vigilant in protecting the Convention.

Okay, he’s no Stormtrooper. But he’s still part of the security detail lol ^^

It’s pretty much half a Star Wars Convention with these many Stormtroopers, Jedi and Darth Vader.

And from here onwards we have some of the Anime Cosplay Competition participants. I didn’t get all of them nor do I have pictures of the competition because:-

1) It’s uber crowded down there and I mean uber.
2) There was literally a human wall around the stage area meaning I couldn’t get close enough for pictures. A DSLR I do not have.

Anyway, I have plenty of pictures to go around so here we go.

Kurosaki Ichigo from Bleach

This pic is uber win. Lol at Afro man

One of my favourite for this event. Setsuna from Mahou Sensei Negima.

Sakata Gintoki from Gintama and Kakashi from Naruto.

Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy. Yes, in a dress. Go play the game to find out why.

Mmmm…..

Watanuki Kimihiro from xxxHOLIC.

Okay this concludes post 1 of Day 2. Stay tuned for post 2!
