For international purposes this message will be in English.

This years FACTS edition was a bit more different than the other years. In the positive sence because there were a lot of new things and my expectations were furfilled.
I went to FACTS on both Saturday and Sunday and I returned happy and a bit more broke than usual but it was worth it (hey I got the original Spawn #1 for cheap).
Yet again, the overal organisation was amazing. The cooperation with the Filmfestival was a truely unique experience. Saturday I went to see Metropolis, Elysium (which was rather bad in my opinion) and Spirited Away (awesome movie), immediatlty after leaving FACTS. And in a way I felt I was still in FACTS.
I didn't like much the fact that there were less newer comics available. Most of them were very old comics and beyond my time. I'm very much in for all that Transformers but there were some comics that were from the 60s, not much from the 80s. There were a lot of Mangas, and I even found some Manga books in English (which I didn't buy because I had the comic equivalent already). Oh and one thing, VHS is dead, long live DVD. The food was a bit expensive for what it was but that's ok. I was prepared for that.
The cosplayers were amazing. They are truely talented people. Especially Chewbacca, Padme (I think it was Padme), that girl in the red and that funny costume from the girl in a white dress with a red ball hanging from her head. And lets not forget Usagi and Darth Maul.
I really like the guitarist that played Sunday. Since I also make music at home, I would like to do a duo with that guitarist. I've never heard techno-like music with an electric guitar sound so good.
The guest stars where good for the fans but since i'm not really into StarWars or Hellraiser, I won't talk about them.

So, in short, Emmanuel and the rest of the FACTS theme once again proved theirselves to organize an amazing (and expensive, depending on how much you bough :p ) weekend with great anime movies. I can't wait for next year...
