We went to Cosplay GO! which was co-organized by our comrade’s Sly Cat’s Group, the PMCG on the request of Metro Mall on 14 & 15 September 2013. Due to insufficient time, we only attended one day. It’s a one day trip.
As it is not our event and we are there to support, two of our founders made a fanvideo for them. Since it’s not our event, i will only post our fanvideo.

As what i did on year 2012, i decided to make it an annual gathering for Hatsune Miku’s 6th Birthday Party. One of our comrade and friend who is a reporter also help us to publish it at a local newspaper to inform everyone about this gathering. On that day it is also our national day so, it’s kinda a celebration of two events on the same day. It’s the second time doing a birthday gathering for an visual idol publicly, hence, we have activities like quiz and games. Below are the pictures of the newspaper and also some pictures during the events ;

A proper group name are formed on 16 May 2013 after a few discussion between us friends and comrades. Since before Kuantan Coswalk Event, we are a nameless group, we decided to give our group a name to let other’s know what we are doing and what is our group name. With a proper name and group, we hope to be able to contribute some to the community in Malaysia. We are not perfect but we will never stop learning.

The founders for Anime Support Kuantan (A.S.K) are :
1) Kin Chia – Organizer
2) Ch Tan – Videographer
3) KH Eng – IT Coordinator and Support
4) Lim Cian (林志钱) – Photographer
5) K.K Tan (陈国强) – Photographer
We are starting to recruit members to assisted us from now on as hosting event will always need manpower and assistance. We are still lacking of artist, designers, cosplayers, and operation assistance to help the growth of the group.
Event and gathering is a group effort and project. We aim to expand and contribute to the growth of this Community and the environment in our town. The smiles of our friends and comrades, gives us strength to move forward to create a better future!
Thank you for reading~ as below are the links to our facebook page.
We have decided to travel to Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia to have a photoshoot for the cosplayers whom are living there. It is due to because they do not have any transport to travel to Kuantan and alsoinconvenience if they just travel all the way down to Kuantan just for a photoshoot. They won’t have a changing room (except for the public toliet which randomly open or close depending on the mood of the employee there), hence we travel to Pekan, hoping to be able to assist them in photoshoot.
However, due to our inexperience, we are faced with several problem such as we choose and go at the wrong date where most malay people are fasting and no shops are open due to fasting period. The only restaurant available are those fast food restaurants but they are not opening until 10.00a.m. Leaving no choice we directly head for one of the cosplayer house so that 2 of the cosplayers from Kuantan also can prepare their make up and costume there.
We also didn’t set the timing properly and caused 2 volunteered photographer to wait for us for 2 hours. Our schedule are quite messed up on that day but we still manage to get some photos. It’s a pity that we can’t snap some of the cosplayers due to unsuitable timing but we hopefully we can have a photoshoot with them next time.

Our second photoshoot activity on 26.05.2014 which was actually planned by a cosplayer from Kuala Lumpur but unfortunately, he cancelled it last minute due to unable to find any photographers. Hence I take up this task to avoid others from being disappointed and sad. Contacted all the photographers i know and ask them for support. Manage to arrange this activity when i was on the way back from Penang after attending one of their Cosplay event there.
The photographers that attended are all curious to know what kind of shooting is this. Most of the started to try and learn how to take a cosplay photoshoot. Since cosplay photoshoot are different from normal Model photoshoot, hence the pictures won’t be as good as the international’s Cosplay Photoshoot. Thus, begun our journey on how to snap a good cosplay shoot! 🙂
Here’s some photos that we taken during that day. Special thanks to all photographers that came to support our activity and all cosplayers for their efforts of cosplaying under such a hot weather!
