I swear I am not usually one of those guys who runs around conventions lugging a camera looking to bother total strangers for their pictures. But what else was I gonna do at Tokyo International Anime Fair? The booths were lined with biological females seeking to promote their clients shows and products, and I figured (on a wild guess) that you guys might want a look too, so here we go…

The first pic I took was of this gal representing the old-school and the Ishinomori Mangakan Museum in her Cyborg 009 getup (although she’s technically cosplaying as Cyborg 003…but you knew that already). 

Japanese superheroes have more fun…and here’s the proof: GARO is mobbed by admirers at the Tohokushinsha booth.

There’s a lot going on this pic… to the right, a DENTSU girl holding some MameshiPamyuPamyu goods. To the left: a carbon based lifeform in a Fairy Tale dress.

The Fairy Tail girl a few min. later, briefly switching sides to pitch the new CGI GON movie via collectable cardboard headbands. 

These two girls have one of the hardest jobs in the universe, and no, I’m not talking about merely working the floor at TAF. They also have to teach people how to play Cardfight!! Vanguard!

Meanwhile, over at the Satellite booth, I found this little lady advertising the upcoming AKB48 anime via NO IDOL stickers. 

At long last, I finally found the most beautiful booth babe of all time in the form of MELON BEAR! Now if you pardon me, I have to recharge my batteries for this weekend’s Anime Contents Expo!
