The press conference for Anime Festival Asia 2012 was held today and as we expected, there are a whole lineup of goodies for fans going to the 5th version of this yearly event. And the most awaited announcements must be the special guests line up. More after the break


If you are a fan of Cowbow Bebop, Samurai Champloo and the just ended Sakamichi no Apollon, you will be glad to know that for the first time ever, director Shinichiro Watanabe will be appearing at Anime Festival Asia! Famous for combining stylish animation with awesome music (think Yoko Kanno) this is surely a one in a million chance to hear him talk about his works.


Nakanishi Go, who was also a guest last year will also make an appearance, talking specifically about

the new anime series “K”, which will air next season.

And what’s AFA without Anisong concert right? And this year the line up can’t be more awesome. Confirmed are:
- May’N
- Flow
- FripSide
- Sea*A
- TM Revolution
- SPHERE

We must admit that is a totally droolworthy list, especially SPHERE and TM Revolution!

So will you be joining South East Asia’s largest anime convention? We sure hope you do.
