| 1:34pm | A Dancing Very Merry Christmas | | | | Full Metal Panic, alongside Evangelion, has been one of my favourite series, be the it novel, anime or manga. As such, since I love the series, it’s only natural for me to love the 2 female lead characters in it too. Today’s Christmas eve, but for FMP fans who don’t bother about that,... | | |
| 7:36pm | Suicide Island | | | | Although this manga series is fresh, currently only at 3 chapters and running on in Young Animal, it’s really interesting.

| 8:04am | Anime Goods In Fukuoka | | | | Wow, I totally forgot about this post, and more than 2 months later, it’s still in my drafts folder. Browsing through the photos I took in September reminded me that I wanted to write about this while I was still in Japan, but I just didn’t have to time to do so. That, and the Related posts:In... |
| 10:34am | EOY ‘08 | | | | Unlike last year’s EOY where I only arrived 4pm and took a mere 7 photos, I actually spent some decent time at this year’s event, and took more photos of cosplayers too. Media passes were given out too, so I’m not complaining.For some reason or another, most of my pictures turned out... |
| 6:38pm | The Sky Crawlers | | | | Ever since I heard that The Sky Crawlers would be released in local cinemas, I’ve been looking forward to watching it.

| 10:05am | My JLPT 3 Experience | | | | I just came back from the test not too long ago, and I must say that while it’s definitely passable, I don’t think I can get an awesome score.

| 12:34pm | I Miss Medabots | | | | At long last, an anime post!Recently, I’ve stumbled upon Medabots, a series which I loved around 6 years back, again. Man, it felt good watching the series again.

| 8:34am | AFA08 Day 2: ME-I-N! | | | | Since Day 2 wasn’t much different from Day 1 except for the concert and some other stage events, there wasn’t much of a reason to arrive early today. In fact, there wasn’t much of a reason to come, besides May’n’s Live.Before I begin on the nitty-gritty details of today’s... |
| 11:34am | OH THE DORAMA! | | | | The number of replies my past 2 post garnered have far surpassed my expectations. Let’s focus on the cosplay post. While the replies on the entry itself have been rather dull with merely a few flames, the thread has been rather active. I was expecting it to die within 3 days after it began, but... |

| 3:34pm | Why Rage At May’n’s Autograph Session When You Can Rage At This? | | | | Ladies and Gentlemen, we have an issue. An issue of far more importance than squabbling over autographed whiteboards and kowtowing, although I have to admit that I still get a good laugh out of Mr Kowtow’s drama. During the AFA, a sinister presence was lurking in the seas of sweaty otakus, threatening... |
