Some background information on Comic Fiesta for those who are unfamiliar with it:
1) Comic Fiesta is regarded as one of Malaysia's longest running animation, comics and games event
2) It is the first and biggest non-profit ACG convention in Malaysia
3) Initially held as a small exhibition at Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall in 2002, it has since expanded exponentially and is now held annually at KLCC.
As expected, the crowd at CF is huge. This isn't the normal crowd you would see at Singapore conventions, not even at AFA (which I feel has the most number of participants). Cosplayers, anime fans, passerbys, form the crowd thronging through the 5 halls of KLCC. There was also an additional Hall 6 for ticketing purposes that was later given to cosplayers to mingle.

Booth-wise, there were certainly a lot of anime, comics and gaming related booths, but to my surprise, there were universities that have booths at these events to attract students too!

Some of the other major booths include Danny Choo's Culture Japan Booth

There was also a huge portion of Hall 5 dedicated to League of Legends, where the LOL cosplay competition was held. LOL teams were also brought in to compete against each other in The Legend Circuit Grand Finals

That's all for now! Keep a lookout for the interviews with the guests of CF!
//We did not manage to cover the stage events as there was simply too many people and it's to hard to get pictures of the stage that ways!
