| 3:09pm | SMASH! 2009 Sunday | | | | One of the things about conventions is the amount of people that attend. Saturday is always the day with the most people but Sunday, well it was all quiet on the convention front. This year is also the first time for SMASH to be running for 2 days and is now one of the major anime conventions in Sydney.... |
| 1:49pm | SMASH! 2009 Saturday - Cosplay Competition | | | | Cosplay competition is always a major event at any convention. Pretty much most of the attendees flock to the main stage in hopes to get a good spot, and I was the same. Thankfully I secured a spot right at the front, but alas I was pinned to the floor and my legs started to die at that point. One of... |
| 11:59am | SMASH! 2009 Saturday | | | | Convention time is always an exciting time. Though this year I was more excited about attending SMASH and I don’t know why. I did miss out on going last year since I was in Japan at the time but I think it’s more of the fact that I’m currently unemployed and needed something to ease... |
| 4:20am | Shin and his Ranka’s (Caption This!) | | | | Over the weekend was the Sydney Manga and Anime Show, also known as SMASH! I have taken a number of photos and will have coverage up later on today. But for now I figured this would be a little fun game to play. Shin of Atarashii Prelude had also attended SMASH and we all know that he can be quite the... |
| 7:03am | Miss Summer Dollfie 2009 Entry | | | | Over at figure.fm, Danny Choo has a competition going called Miss Summer Dollfie 2009. So I decided to stop being partially lazy and did some photo shoots for my entry with Erika. The three required themes were underwear/swimwear, casual/default clothes, and an outdoor shoot. Even though it’s... |
| 12:57pm | Sydney Anime and Manga Show (SMASH) 2009 this weekend | | | | Despite being unemployed at the moment doesn’t mean I should be a complete hikkikomori until I find myself a job. Thankfully conventions are still underway and we have the 3rd convention for Sydney: Sydney Anime and Manga Show (or easily known as SMASH). This will be my 2nd time attending SMASH since... |
| 1:08pm | The Struggling Path to Recovery | | | | Sourced from pixiv So it’s been a month since I last posted anything here so I figured I might as well update on the situation going with my life. As you may know, I got made redundant last month and since then I’m still unemployed. The day I got the notification I decided I’d have... |
| 12:58pm | K-ON! - 13 | | | | “If you want to see another season of your show, follow these instructions exactly.” All good things come to an end. |
| 11:39am | Return of the NEET | | | | After my graduation from uni, I went through a phase of hardship spanning over 10 months when it came to looking for a job. I was aiming to get into the IT field and as I reached the 9th and 10th month I was reaching a point of depression of not finding a job. Thankfully I made a breakthrough and finally... |
| 2:14pm | Tayutama ~Kiss on my Deity~ - 09 | | | | For some reason I highly enjoyed this episode, probably just due to the randomness of things happening as its sort of a break from the rather dull storyline. Firstly was the appearance of Nabeshin as the salesman. I seriously didn’t get why he appeared in a series like this but damn it was funny... |
| 10:36am | Supanova Sydney 09 - Merchandise Purchases | | | | Whenever I attend a convention, I try to place a budget on how much I should spend there. Over the years I have never ever met that expectation, and once again this year at Supanova was no exception. I came close to my set budget, but with the persuasion of friends Roobar and Blox, I caved in. Yes I... |
| 4:59pm | Tayutama ~Kiss on my Deity~ - 08 | | | | After a disappointing two episodes of Yumina, its good to see we are back on track with the somewhat stagnant story and full of Ameri goodness. Seeing Ameri’s growing jealously over Mashiro and Yuuri’s relationship brought some life back and with Ouryuu leading her almost like her trueself.... |
| 11:42am | Supanova Sydney 09 - Part 2 | | | | Continuing on from Part 1, this section covers the Madman National Cosplay Competition and the regular Cosplay Competition. At first I wasn’t sure what the difference was between the Madman National Cosplay Competition and the normal Cosplay Competition, but all was explained eventually. The Madman... |
| 12:39pm | Supanova Sydney 09 - Part 1 | | | | So Supanova Sydney was once again upon us, and after a rather late night out of watching Transformers 2 on Friday night, I and my good friends Roobar and Blox headed down to Olympic Park for a day of fun, spending, and lots of walking. It’s kind of amusing how during convention time I get little... |
| 1:17pm | Summer 2009 Anime Season Preview | | | | Before I knew it, the end of the Spring 2009 Anime season is coming to an end really soon, and that means it’s time to preview what will be airing in Summer season. Also I think I’m starting to lose my memories if it’s the Summer season that is a let down or another season. But looking... | | |
