Subtitles please?

Instead of studying, I have just spent the last 4 minutes of my life watching this little special. It makes me wonder if I should watch Inukami, hehe. But of course it was mostly the appearance of Kino no Tabi in SD version that makes this little video so incredibly precious - it’s been such a long time!

AFA 08: Day 2 Journal

Day 1 had me walking around the venue numerous times. Day 2 on the other hand was mostly a waiting game. I reached around 1100hrs to photograph any items I missed out yesterday. Thankfully, the crowd was at bay. I whittled away the time at the Industry Seminar area while waiting for the Cosplay Mania event to start at the main stage.

Impressive line-up for free seminars. Audience was mainly studying/working in the animation industry.

AFA 08: Day 1 Journal

What self respecting animeblog doesn’t have an anime convention coverage these days? That said, Sasa flew me all the way to Singapore’s first large scale anime convention, Animation Festival Asia 2008. (Oh wait, it’s only a 30min train ride from my place)

Time: 1100hrs

Place: Suntec Convention Center Lvl 4

First Impression: Long Line is long

Even though I was pre-registered, I waited in line for 15 mins, which wasn’t that long in fact. (Turns out that that they didn’t even check my pre-registration code) The first thing that greeted me at the entrance was the huge-ass Gundam Exia model. A slight tilt the right, a long line of gundam otaku were lining up to pay for their purchases.

The Vector Factor: A Tale Of Two Taiga’s

No editorials or insights this time around. Just a simple vector trace that I do in my spare time. I’m not aiming for perfection, but I do what I can. Without further ado, I present to you Taiga from Toradora! In her tiger persona, anyway. Enjoy.

In anticipation of the next season, some random comments on current anime…

What the title says. I have already accumulated a bunch of ideas of what I could potentially blog about, but aside from one I can be pretty sure that I never will end up doing them.

Without further ado:

  • I think that the seifuku of 20 Mensou no Musume is one of the best - not because of the design, but because of the fact that the uniform is beige, not white.
  • It’s sad that nobody seems to watch Gunslinger Girl - il teatrino anymore, except for Hanners and me. The manga is still brilliant though. (Rossana! <3)

Pip is out until friday - the bitchfest ported to the personal level

Edit: A little “schedule change”: Pip is out until Saturday, because he needs to catch up with sleep on Friday. You know, other people actually have lives and things to do, itsubitch. Get a life.

This is for Milkmaster and Pip: So, I have spoken to itsubun telling her that there is nothing I want her to do or would ask of her, except for not doing anything anymore. Unfortunately, something happened. I’m just here to announce that the said Pip is going to be busy until Friday, and God save me from showing him these ridiculous attacks before he is free again. If ever he feels like saying something about the outrageous, immature and inappropriate way this bitchfest has ported to personal attacks (what do my relationships have to do with the whole story?), it’s going to be after Friday.

So this is a shitstorm…

Opening remark because apparently some people are too stupid to have a look at the prominent sidebar: This is not Sasa, I repeat: This is not Sasa!

Because itsubitch managed to screw up her own comment form this will have to go here:

So this is goodbye

I have decided to to stop anime blogging. Whenever I feel like writing on anime, I might do so on my original blog, About Chocolate Parfaits (that has mainly turned into a movie blog today). Whoever is interested in the reasons can ask me personally through e-mail, commenting or IRC.
It is possible that I might start aniblogging regularily again, but only if there suddenly comes a new concept I find interesting, such as shifting to blogging on manga, or going back to blogging episodically. Until then, blog postings are only written on specific demand.

Lots of “thank you”s and embarassing remarks after the cut, if you allow me ;)

Looking back at one week in the blogosphere #4

You might notice that this post comes early by one day. However, I really wanted to get this post done today, and you will see in my next entry why ;) Pictures also might be added whenever I feel like it.

I don’t really want to talk about the Akihabara stabbing stories anymore, since everybody and their mother commented on it (including myself on Osu’s post).

A chinese rip-off… again?

Okay, I have laughed quite well when I saw the Vii, and this Disney rip-off theme park is just so funny as well, but there are rip-offs that are much smaller and much less obvious, although very clearly copied.

drrt

I have been a huge fan of the Kare Kano soundtrack and I used to listen to it a lot. Now, I discovered this interesting chinese animation project that turned out to be fairly interesting indeed, but then I had to realize that the background music was shamelessly copied from the Kare Kano soundtrack.
