Kotobukiya announces Otacool launch event photo



You may have heard of Otacool by now -- a little project between toy makers Kotobukiya and Danny Choo that compiled the world's best otaku bedrooms into one book of amazing pictures. We heard today that they will be holding an event at Anime Festival Asia this year in Singapore, and if you are planning on attending you should go check it out.

The event will be held on November 22nd from 3:30 to 4 pm at booth D01. Both Danny Choo and the famously gorgeous Alodia will be in attendance to sign books and meet fans. If you don't already have a copy of the book, you can get one at the AFA Shop booth, which is both D02. This entire event sounds like so much fun, I wish I could go -- but perhaps we'll hear some reports from some of our Singapore blogger friends like ToysREvil!

I almost had the chance to interview Alodia when I was in the Philippines last summer but I unfortunately didn't have enough time to spare.
Ugh. I'm in prime position, yet...I can't believe I'm going to be missing out on stuff like this in favour of studying.

I still have time to reconsider though...
