Another event that hosts game tournaments is Malaysia’s annual convention AniManGaki which is an event to connect communities who share interests in anime, manga and games. It was started by Yvonne Sing Yee Wen in 2009, who was also the founder of Sunway University’s Anime Club and has since been part of the team who until today are actively involved in this yearly event.
As a platform for gaming, anime and manga fans and communities to connect, this event has a variety of activities to appeal to the crowd. Here, artists and cosplayers come together and showcase their skills and sell their wares to attending fans. AniManGaki also boasts appearances by guests, themed activities and stage performances for attendees to participate in and enjoy.
There is also a Video Games Arena that features esports, mobile and console games and participants have the opportunity to win prizes and earn championships. The existence of a Creators Space also allows for animation studios and game developers to network, mingle and share their work.
Additionally, attendees are spoilt for choice with the carnival games and exhibition booths as well as panel/workshops where industry players can showcase their work, to educate and inspire as well as shine light on their company, products or services.
AniMangaki has partnered with many brands from a wide range of industries spanning from electronic brands, cinemas, photography studios, F&B brands, board game cafes, cultural foundations and so many more to make this event happen yearly.
