Hey all; need a spot of anime fix and want to celebrate the awesomeness of anime and games? Well if you’re down in Malaysia, head on down to the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre this weekend -18 and 19 August- for this year’s Animangaki event.

Here’s what you can do.

Meet Special Guests like Donna Burke, Moriyama Daisuke, & Others

Donna Burke and the Ganime Jazz group will be playing their brand of songs from games & anime like “Sins of the Father” from Metal Gear Solid V and hopefully that super-catchy Outrun 2 song. Other than that, you have famed cosplayers like Serg Loki Mirage, and manga artists like Moriyama Daisuke. Fun!

The longest of its kind in Malaysian ACG events, also jumpstarted the career of many local ACG singers.

This activity is sponsored by Warlord and SonicGear.
