Comic Fiesta 2011 is coming again :) and this year,its not just cosplay,games,comics and of course loads of goodies but this year,there's a little something extra ;)
And what is that something extra,you might ask? we are gonna have a movie screening!!! before you go, "oh boring,another movie screening?" and yawn,its not just any movie screening,its the screening of Hoshi Wo Ou Kodomo (Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below) by Makato Shinkai who is being called "the new Miyazaki" (i'm sure you know who Miyazaki is? he was the one who did "Spirited Away and it became the first ever anime feature to ever win best animation at the Oscars!!!)
Makato Shinkai was also the director of critically-acclaimed animated features such as Hoshi no Koe and 5 Centimeters Per Second and Comic Fiesta 2011 will be the first screening of Hoshi Wo Ou Kodomo in Southeast Asia!!! Such an honor :)
This film is a action-packed story of friendship,adventure and even romance (so girls,don't say we left you out :p) It tells the story of a young girl named Asuna who spends her days listening to a mysterious music coming from a crystal radio leftby her late father. One day, she is attacked by a monster andsubsequently saved by a boy named Shun. But Shun mysteriously disappears and it’s up to Asuka to find out just what is going on.
