UP AME Fair 2009 presents AME no Jidai

The University of the Philippines Anime Manga Enthusiasts (UP AME) proudly presents this year's fair entitled AME no Jidai.  In its ninth year of anniversary celebrations, UP AME will bring us back in time to a period of the samurai and warring lords of Japan's feudal era.

UP AME is the first ever recognized collegiate anime organization in the country which aims to gather anime and manga enthusiasts based in UP Diliman.  They are behind some of the succesful anime events such as the Una kAME!, kAME Ulit!, AME Matsuri, AME Gakuensai, and AME 8th Avenue.

AME no Jidai, like previous fairs, is a themed event, this time focusing on Japan's feudal era.  Many of the activities are geared towards re-enacting the time period and experiencing some of the traditional festival activities in Japan.  Some of the activities included are the traditional Japanese fortune telling booth, a tea room with snacks served by waiters in traditional outfits of the time, and the ever popular goldfish catching that is still done in modern day Japanese festivals.  Everyone is encouraged to come and dress up in Japanese inspired outfits or maybe dress up as your favorite samurai or one of the many feudal lords and ladies.

And of course, what is an anime event without cosplay.  AME no Jidai will have both individual and group cosplay.  I am already excited to see what everyone will come up with for this event.

UP AME Fair 2009: AME no Jidai will be held at the A. Venue Hall in Makati on November 28, 10 AM onwards.  That's on a Saturday, so I suggest everyone go ahead and mark your calendars and get ready to have some fun.
