From cosplay to dating
games to a whole lotta karaoke at the poolside, AFO4 saw lots of activity from day 'til night
and it almost seemed like the weekend would last forever. LLNN managed to capture some
of those highlights for this year in this section. |
Anime
Festival Orlando 4 |
 |
 |
Game Shows filled up the room fairly fast with choices of Anime Jeopardy, Anime Name-That-Tune, Scavenger Hunt - The Bored Game, and The Weakest Geek. |
Karaoke: Friday night was the time to sing out your heart and soul with your
friends! Not even the slight showers on the humid night could stop many fans from
belting out the free-flowing anime tunes. |

AFO
Dance Party: The small but
good place to kick it on the dance floor was open for a couple of hours on Saturday Night
after the big Cosplay and AMV events in the main ballroom. Choices of music was mostly
J-pop, J-Rock, and some American songs filled up by requests from the dancers on the floor. |
