I attended the press preview for AFA08 on 21st November 2008, which gave us a little peek on what the conventions offered. For those who do not know about this event, AFA08 was the very first anime convention in Southeast Asia, which was held in Singapore’s Suntec City Convention Hall 403 & 404 on 22nd and 23rd November 2008.
