| 3:23pm | Comic Fiesta 2008 - Day 01 | | | | And now you the know the landmark featured in Comic Fiesta’s CM. If there’s one advantage about entering the hall early, it would be being able to see booths being set up, which was quite the rare sight. The first and last time you’d ever see those Ranka prints. Yet pre-emptive advantage,... |
| 10:56am | Comic Fiesta 2008 Teaser Post: What A Choorade | | | | If there’s one thing I love about my country is the fact we can bootleg just about anything, including people. Spotted this curious person at Comic Fiesta 2008 earlier. His identity? Well, I’ll let you decipher it from the images yourself. Or you could cheat and check the filename, but where’s... |
| 10:54am | Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden Of Sinners Chapter Four | | | | More Type-Moon public service message shenanigans! It addresses yet another annoyance cinema patrons tend to face; The slurping and munching sounds from sodas and snacks. Oddly enough, Shiki goes not after the perpetrators, but rather the physical embodiment of the sound itself. If you have to ask... |
| 3:24am | HK CityU AkiFest 2008 Cosplays - Suzaku x Lelouche | | | | All hail the Emperor. As promised, I now present to you guys “juicy” Spinzaku x Lulu cosplay pics for all of you to savour. No point in me writing much, is there? So here goes the photos. (Disclaimer: I’m not responsible for the photos being obviously not chronological in order to... |
| 3:54pm | Updates, And Things Such As That | | | | The SiteAs you might have noticed from visiting the blog in the last couple of days, I finally took the initiative, got down on my ass and upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress. And by latest, I really mean 2.6.5, since the entire process was all handled by my server hosts. Yes, because I screwed... | | |
| 12:27pm | Imaginary Friends Studio @ Comic Fiesta 2008 | | | | Renowned South East Asian concept art and illustration studio, Imaginary Friends Studios will be making their presence felt at the upcoming Comic Fiesta 2008. Founded by a group of established artists in 2008, IFS has 30 artists under their wing across Asia and Europe, providing concept art for companies... |
| 1:10am | Fembot Aiko. | | | | Slowpoke is slowpoke but please bear with me as i had just discovered this here Fembot. It was brought to my attention in the random segment of The Situation Room on CNN which i just watched minutes earlier. This is one step for robotics and one giant leap to the extinction of humans. Heck, she even... |
| 9:39am | Kannagi 10 - Seven Guys, Five Girls and A Karaoke Lounge | | | | P.S It should be illegal for fujoshi type characters to be this ℳℴℯ❤ Dear Yamakan, please refrain from portraying Takako in such a manner for the remainder of the season or you will be held liable for irreversible damage inflicted to my nutbladder. P.P.S Normally, I would ask the mangaka of... | | |
| 2:33pm | A Day With Alice | | | | Otherwise known as Dennou Figure ARis, this augmented reality figure was released by Geisha Tokyo Entertainment back in October, allowing users to interact with a three dimensional figure that takes the shape of a rather adorable maid who goes by the name of Alice. Innovation or gimmick? More after... |
| 1:26pm | Takako!!!!!!!!! | | | | Contrary to the claims of a certain someone who has forsaken St. Ranka for the new religion of Nagiism I find my one and only Saint even in other mangas. The holy scripture of the Interstellar Flight recited here by the esteemed Takako here is proof that Rankaism is still growing strong and it has... | | |
| 4:13pm | Anime Festival Asia - Day 02 | | | | Decided to take it easy the second day as the earlier lineup of events were an extension to that of yesterday’s. I was going to just time it so that I would be just in time for the cosplay competition, but I’m glad I made it for the Sky Crawlers promo. They were actually airing the trailer... |
| 6:26pm | HK CityU AkiFest 2008 Cosplays - Shana | | | | Well, this doujin market took place back in early October, but I was too lazy to bother writing a post. In terms of scale, it was much smaller than the one I went to earlier, so there wasn’t actually much interesting doujin which I haven’t already seen in the other one. Besides, I came mainly... |
| 4:43am | Anime Festival Asia - Day 01 | | | | So nice to be down south yet again, barely 6 months since the last time I was here for a different event, which was similar in scale(same place even), but hardly relevant to my interests, though in retrospect, it was really my fault for having the wrong set of expectations to begin with, but I digress.... |
| 12:09pm | Thoughts and feelings on AFA08 | | | | HOLY SHIT. My hand could not stop shaking when i took this pic. The following post might contain some RAGE and unsavoury words. Viewer discretion is advised. Though more often than not humans have no discretion.Ticketing The ticketing experience during day one is one that I recall with much disdain... |
| 4:25pm | I’m Going Down South, Gonna Have Myself A Time. Friendly Faces Everywhere… | | | | With mundane real life responsibilities out of the way, I can now finally take a breather and return to being a full time otaku again! However, instead of catching up on the huge backlog of shows, I’ve been prepping for the much anticipated Anime Festival Asia. Will be heading down south to Singapore... |
