Words From the Directors of Animangaki 2022
Why do we do this every year? I wonder too… It is a lot of hard work and many sleepless nights. I suppose in essence, this is our love letter to the ACG community. Truly thankful to everyone for having our backs and coming together with us on this renewed adventure. AniManGaki will continue to exist so as long as the community needs us.
Yvonne Sing – Director (Favourite Anime: Full Metal Alchemist)
This year’s AniManGaki is extremely special. After two years of silence, we intended to come back as strong as possible for the sake of our ACG community. My only wish is that our hard work shines through and that you see we try our best in the many changes we made. We like to think that this is our way of embodying the hard-to-die spirit that lives in many otakus.
Jo Lynn – Co-Director (Favourite Anime: Mai-Hime)
AMG 2022
The AniManGaki 2022 is sounding like it will be a swashbuckling good time so those interested should drop by and spread the positivity! Let our community come together and celebrate our common passion and hobby like we used to, albeit more safely and responsibly this year. We’ll see you there!
Speaking of seeing you there…
Our media outlet has attended AMG for several years straight now and every time we do, we’d invite community cosplayers for a brief photo session so that our photographers can take their photos to be used in our event coverage and our annual AMG Cosplay Album.
It will be the same this year. We are attending the event and we hope to see as many creative, fun-loving, and passionate cosplayers there as possible and invite them to be featured in our annual Cosplay Album and event coverage material.
So, until then, stay safe and awesome, folks!
