The 2-day inaugural DaiCon 2009 convention held from 11 – 12 July 2009 at The Grand Hall of Multimedia University (MMU) in Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, Malaysia was a great success with big crowd attendance, thanks to the support of fans, industry players and sponsors.
Thousands of fans of manga, anime, novels and video games swarmed the exhibition booths selling anime merchandise, figurines, artworks, artbooks, badges and other collectible stuffs.
It was also a great time for cosplayers in their colorful and eyes-striking costumes and full glory competing in the cosplay competition which was a great fun to watch where they demonstrated their skills in creating costumes, putting on skits and technical skills.
Daicon is organized by EMiNA (actually ANIME spelled backwards), the acronym for the Society of Modern Visual Culture of Multimedia University (MMU), and should be given a pat on the back for successfully organizing the expo to promote the best of modern Japanese anime, comic and games (ACG) interests that had received rave attention. It was definitely hard work, dedication and sheer determination to succeed by the organizing committee that made Daicon possible for everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves.
Great work EMiNA! We can expect DaiCon 2010 to be even bigger and better!
