Tokyo International Anime Fair 2012, Day 1

So, yeah, the first day of TAF (Tokyo International Anime Fair) was oh-so-exciting... not! Other than an unworthy piece of news about Tatsunoko, and that Rakuen Tsuihou anime film announced yesterday, not much was offered in terms of anime novelties, so far. Hopefully today and tomorrow will be more plentiful days, in that regard - weekend and all...



Then again, perhaps it's all just a hint of much more exciting thigs to come at next week's new counter-TAF event, Anime Contents Expo (ACE) - taking place on March 31 and April 1, for the first time (since last year's event was cancelled due to the big one...).

But getting back to the point, Day 1 of TAF 2012 saw a slight drop in attendance numbers, compared to 2010, with 12,402 people visiting this year's event on its inaugural day.

And as far as "booth babes" go, CR has a photo report that you might want to check... though not much to see there, either. Sadly, I didn't get around to scouring the Japanese blogosphere for more pics yet... I don't suppose any of you did that and has some juicy links to share?
