All Releases for July 2009 in "Otaku"

So after watching this season (which I skipped for god knows why), I thought I would write a review based on what I think of it. ARIA the Animation Synopsis On the planet Aqua lies the watery city of Neo Venezia, a tourist hub in which people travel...

The rather curious tradition of the Hokkaido Bellybutton Dance (Heso Odori) began about thirty-five years ago. It was decided that a town festival was needed, in order to unify and energize Furano's people, who are spread over a large area. Inspired...

Another month, another update. Just one more month left before I get back into the daily routine of having to wake up early and late night procastration on reports. I haven’t done most of the things I wanted to do when I made my list a few months ag...

This is probably the shortest SDCC post ever, but I haven’t done much besides sitting table really. :D San Diego Comic Con 2009 is truly over. I had a productive week. The best thing about the con was that I got to meet a lot of comic people! It’s g...

Finally MG Exia Ignition Mode has arrive in Malaysia yesterday... all the local store was stuffed with boxes & cartons of Exia normal version and Ignition Mode version. Seems like the first batch of Ignition Mode Exia gonna be selling like hot cakes...

I’ve never been one to have the luck of the Irish when it came to winning contests based on random drawings.  But something inside me said to go ahead and try.  And who am I to ignore myself? The contest is for a Shooter style Japanese indie game cal...

Last week, we were left with a cliffhanger to the scene with Hakkoo-in-cat-suit and she’s under the moonlight. What would her role be in this episode? Do we get to see more of Maria as well? Any more groping scenes such as lat week’s episode? Moar ne...

So some dude posts a BlazBlue tier list in Twitter that happens to have misspelled the name of a certain big magneto guy with a certain tsundere tiger-girl. And the first image that came to my mind? This… TAIGER! So Taiga (from Toradora) is in Bla...

So Smash! at the UNSW University is coming up in a couple of weeks but aside from that, things have been a little quite on the anime/manga side of things for me. I hope to get to the convention but can't be sure until that weekend (I'd seriously go j...

In most of my posts I discuss going to Japan but this time I want to discuss the opposite-- getting into the U.S., via Immigration and Naturalisation Services, otherwise known as INS. During the past few months my wife and I have been in the process...

While working from home today, I got a special delivery from Hobbysearch Japan! Woo!It's my new Kannagi tea cup! This was a nice surprise as I just ordered this on Friday and made it's way all the way from Tokyo to my apartment in a few days. Much qu...

Another ‘random dump’ post. As such, the image has absolutely nothing to do with the title of the post, or it’s contents. Here’s the source, though, if you like it. The original caption for the image goes something like ‘I wouldn’t like it if someone...

In this hillarious video Conan O’Brien visits Bang Zoom Studios and dubs some scenes from Ghost In The Shell. If you haven’t seen it yet watch it! I would love to see Conan and Andy do some real dubbing for anime though. Should Conan O’Brien Dub Anim...

And another great wallpaper with one of the main heroines of K-On!, Kotobuki Tsumugi. I hope your iPod or iPhone enjoys it as much as you do!! If you like this one, you might also want to see these:

Time for a review First up is 0 gundam which has made it’s way to one of my favorite models by far with great articulation and simple design. It’s also the first model of mine where I did extensive panel lining. Hit the jump to get a taste of Ribbo...

This past Saturday I went to the first Dragon Gate USA Pro wrestling show right here in my home town of Philly. I've been looking forward to this show since it was announced a few months ago. I felt I had to attend to this historic event and I'm so g...

Affians post about his Nakajima Megumi addiction spurred my curiosity about what anime I am addicted too and loving atm…Typically I like storyline + meaty action but lately I simply cant get enough of the “daily life of…” anime. Example was Ichigo M...

Plot: Itoshiki Nozomu is the world’s most negative person. To his way of thinking, there is no hope or meaning in this existence. Even the three kanji of his name become the two-kanji word zetsubou, “despair”, when compressed. What an ironic twist o...

As if from a 3D program, Pixiv artist Acerbi shows us his expert abilities in shading human flesh. “マスター！と、止まりません！” Master! I, I can’t stop! In this image, we have Hatsune Miku, who seems to be currently in an intense session of self...

Archive picture from the Korean War dated 1951. I hate to talk about politics and such, but I couldn’t help it but share this picture.  Makes me wonder what we humans are up to… Whatever the reason, the two kids (probably orphans) don’t have anything...
