Manifest 2007 - Review


Manifest 2007 - Review
#1
OK, so I'm recovering from attending the 2007 Melbourne Anime Festival that was held for just over two and half days a few days ago and I'm ready to post up my review of the con. I assume it's going to be a long post so I'll break it up into sections.

Friday
Seeing how I had already pre-registered through the anime club I'm in, I was able to skip the huge queue of people who pre-registered through Manifest themselves and those who chose to turn up on the day to register. Now when I'm talking about a huge queue, I mean it was a REALLY HUGE queue. Take a look here.

So thanks to the anime club I'm with, they had their own table set up near the entrance that was right next to the one where the huge line of people were entering. I entered, gave my registration number and got my badge and program booklet all in less than 20 seconds. Now they had accidentally made two badge passes for me as I was registered twice in their database (this was due to me filling out the registration through the club online a few months earlier where the internet was lagging after I hit the submit button so I pressed it again before it went through).

The guys at the table asked me if I wanted the second badge as well but I told them they could keep it, if only I knew that I could've taken it and given it to one of my friends who was planning to go but didn't turn up because he realised he had to pay (he was planning to be a volunteer worker at Manifest this year but probably backed out when he found out he also had to register and pay like all the other people - I'm assuming he didn't turn up cos I didn't see him at all throughout the whole two and half days at the convention).

After I picked up my badge, I browsed around the venue for about 20 minutes before leaving as there wasn't much events on this day as all the popular and good events would start on Saturday. I was planning on coming in early on Friday to check out the first set of AMV screenings seeing how I submitted in one this year but missed out on it as I came just when the screenings were finished.

Saturday
I arrived at around 10am as the AMV competition started at 10:30 in the morning and I intended to go to that. The first thing I did as soon as I arrived was head straight up to the traders hall to see if there would be any interesting items being sold. I was rather disappointed though as nothing caught my eye. The only thing I bought when I got there the first time was a Mad Band from the Madman booth (that's a Madman wrist band if you don't know) and I managed to scab two free posters there from a whole box Madman left for the people to take. I told my friend to take them before they quickly run out as many other attendees would take the rest but he said he'd get it later. There was only one type of poster Madman was giving away anyway and it was double-sided (one side was Bleach and the other side was Hellsing Ultimate) but I grabbed two copies seeing how it'd be convenient to have two to show each side.

So the stock at the traders hall was a disappointment for me, me and my friend headed towards the main events theatre to see the AMV competition. As you'd expect with the quality of AMV's shown at big anime conventions, there were quite a few good ones but one that stood out the most to the audience (as well as to me and my friend) was a One Piece spoof on a anti-piracy ad that's usually thrown onto DVD's. I'll keep it short and sweet, "Piracy.Kicks.Ass" and "It's a pirate life for me" from the AMV XD. The whole theatre was roaring with laughter and cheers and I think it ended up winning best comedy AMV.

TO BE CONTINUED....so here's a photo I took to show you guys before I update in the next post.
