Azonyan
When I received a right leg in the mail, I knew it was time for me to give Azunyan a proper photoshoot...I'm being very cryptic, aren't I? =PSo here is the unblurred photo I took during the unboxing. And yes it is a K-ON Azone doll, Azunyan to be spe...
Yuri Mania 32: Kuttsukiboshi 1
Gokigenyou minna. Sasshiburi desu. It's been a while since my last yuri-related post... So I figured I'll load this post with as many yuri things as possible! First up is the recent release of the first Kuttsukiboshi OVA. This is made by the same stu...
Anime Evolution 2010 Loots
Despite my complains of the dealers room and the convention itself, I actually got some stuff from Anime Evolution anyway. I withdrew some money on the Friday, but after my first visit to the dealers room, I thought I could just put all the money bac...
Anime Evolution 2010
Bicycle cosplay? The design look familiar, but not sure where it's from.Ah the local convention... It was time for Vancouver's anime scene to be in the spotlight again! Well except there were a few things happening around this weekend too, lol. Comik...
Anime Evolution 2010 Cosplay
Occurring in the middle of August and in the hottest weekend this month or year in Vancouver is Anime Evolution, the local convention. I salute the cosplayers who braved the freaking hot weather! Even though it's almost 30 degrees Celsius on all thre...
Late Night Loot Unboxing
I've finally received my big package from Hobby Search for the end of July. All of these were released in July but I waited for all of them to be there first and combined into one shipping. I'm surprised they all fit into one box!I picked up up the G...
Haruhi Vs the AmAzone Saber
I normally don't start with the 4koma comic, but I think this is a good introduction to one of my latest acquisition ^^ Oh oh... don't forget the title...The Melancholy of Saber Lily Part 38This has also been posted on The Melancholy of Saber Lily si...
Because I Don't Have an Optimus Penguin
For Optimistic Penguin's website 1st anniversary, Ms. Penguin held a contest to make figure comics. The catch is that they have to involve penguins. The only penguin I had was the Prinny Laharl that I got from Anime Expo. I didn't win the contest, bu...
Cosplay Cafe in Vancouver
Something from Japan that I didn't think would happen here would be the [in]famous maid/cosplay cafe... I remember that there was a maid cafe in Toronto at one time, however that one doesn't exist anymore. So I assumed no one would dare to try it out...
SEE! I'm Not the Only One!
Yes... Yes!! Crawl to your knee pits overlord! The knee pits conquer all!Ummm.... Sorry, I got caught up in the maelstrom that is Amagami SS episode 3. The episode that has the main character, Tachibana, kissing the current "target" girl, Morishima,...
AX (Suddenly Acquired) Loots
Here comes the loot, everybody knows that here comes the loot! Ok, that doesn't make sense, but anyways after an anime convention, you expect to see the loot post going up :P I kept all the fancy paper bags from J-List and MangaGamer. They're kinda l...
My AXperience
Wow... I don't know where to start. It's been a week already since Anime Expo 2010 was over. My post-convention depression is somewhat over, but I still miss the friends I've met there. I really did have more fun than I thought. Well I knew about the...
Anime Expo 2010 Cosplay
It's the largest anime convention in North America, so there's gotta be a crazy amount of cosplays, right? Of course, of course! Unfortunately it seems like I didn't take as many as I'd like to ^^; It seems like I was running around a lot going place...
In a Foreign L.A.nd
I knew the exact moment that I had landed in a foreign land when I saw a Best Buy vending machine... Best Buy is usually just an electronic store and it's usually Japan who has vending machines for everything, but this is definitely a first. You just...
Mugi Mugi Day
Awwww sooooo cuuuuuuuuttttteeeeee! And Happy Canada Day everyone! Yeah, I know I don't have anything Canadian here, but it's still posted on Canada Day ^^;This here is a Mugi plushie. I brought her to AX and if everything goes well, she'll have a new...
AX Cosplay Preview
So by this time, I should be at the airport and about to board the airplane to fly to Los Angeles for Anime Expo. Hopefully I didn't forget anything... My cosplay is all packed up though. Hopefully the hat doesn't get crushed. It wasn't too hard to f...
Yuri Mania 31
Gokigenyou! Ah it has been quite a while since my last Yuri Mania, eh? Well this time I have something special. Last year I had to do a quick Yuri Mania and Weekly Lily before I went to Anime Boston. Docking mousepads! Well what do I do for a sequel?...
The War on Several Fronts
Yes, I'm still doing my 4koma series... I'm just so very busy lately. Or is it lazy? It seems like both. My work shift has finally been settled for nights. That makes it difficult for me to do anything during the day since I feel like I won't have en...
Star Wars in Concert: Vancouver Day 2
Before I was big into anime, I was very much into Star Wars. Hey, even the name I use, "lightningsabre", is a relic of my Star Wars highs. Quiz me anything about Star Wars and I'd give you the correct answer straight way. Now my mind's been filled wi...
Retro Tokusatsu
My childhood Tokusatsu/live action hero lineup isn't as robust as my retro anime lineup, but it contains quite a few unique shows. Some of them, like Goggle V above, is a popular one back in the 80's but there are some that not many have heard of.Fi...
Retro Anime
One thing I rarely talk about are the first few anime I've watched, especially when I was a wee lad. I think I have mentioned them before, but did not go beyond the very first that I watched, Voltes V. In Asia, it was quite easy to get "cartoons" of...
I'm Sorry Japan...
...But the potential of meeting a celebrity in one spot within 4 days in Japan is (exaggerated estimation) a million to one! I'd really like to go an experience Japan as I am now instead of when I was only 5, but the cost can be expensive. So to me i...
Nyagato ~Metamo Version
"Nyaa..." In a deadpan voice as Yuki would've put it. This is the Metamo version of Nagato Yuki made by Bandai. Probably one of the only nekomimi Nagato Yuki (or should I say Nyagato?) figure around aside from the trading figures.Metamo, short for me...
Omiyage
Or souvenirs, I should say. Recently I've received some of them from very good friends. One from a while ago and another just recently. I didn't really ask, but they were kind enough to send some to me... Well okay, I did ask for one thing ^^;First u...
Yuri Mania 30
Gokigenyou minna-san. There has been some news about the Maria-sama ga Miteru live action movie ever since I talked about it last month. Also thanks to Yi who Tweeted about this around that time, but I seem to have lost that link now ^^; The pictures...
Saber's Birthday
I feel that I have failed as a Saber fan... I didn't realize that today, May 13th, is her birthday. I didn't realize she even had a birthday because she's an ethereal being. But of course she is supposed to be a historical figure, a hero, so she was...
Admirin' Iron Man 2
After watching the first teaser trailer for the first Iron Man movie, I knew I want... nay, NEED to watch it! I regretted not watching Iron Man right away in 2008, and I regretted not watching it enough multiple times in the theatres. So with the rel...
Video Games Live 2010 - Vancouver
This is actually my third time attending Video Game Live, but the first time I kept record of it ^^; I seem to forget lots of things if I don't keep track of them, so this is why VGL is now on my blog, especially the song list. That's one benefit of...
Iron Miku Suits Up
If you're reading this at 10 AM on Friday, the seventh of May, that means I'm at the IMAX theatre watching Iron Man 2. When the first movie came out, it was a sure thing that I will watch it. The trailer just made it so damn cool and when I did see i...
Happy April Fools Month!
Eh? What's that? April Fools supposed to only last a day? So I did this wrong by doing this for a month long? So technically I was trolling people? I don't really know how to troll though. Oh, that doesn't matter if I don't know or not because I real...
Ass of Aria
Oops... I made a typo... That's supposed to be the "A's of Aria". Sorry about that... I didn't title this post on purpose so I can make it ecchi... Really...ANYWAY... It has been a few weeks ago that I finished Aria and I was pleasantly surprised whe...
Yuri Mania 29
Gokigenyou! Uhuhu looks like we need some more ecchi Yuri Mania here. Though the last YM was very informative, it wasn't too ecchi... So this time with Haruhi in the helm, there's bound to be some ecchiness!The Melancholy of Saber Lily Part 35(This i...
Bad Mood Loot
Aaahhhh... Just looking at that face make my bad mood go away... Until the next time I'm in a bad mood, that is. My Friday started not the way I wanted it, so I was in a perpetual bad mood as I was driving... Not a good idea, but I don't cause accide...
TakoLuka Fun: 20 Years in Canada Addendum
So as I mentioned earlier... We celebrated our 20th year in Canada by going to all-you-can-eat sushi at Oo Saki Machi. There were seven of us; my brother's girlfriend and a couple who are very close family friends.This post contains food, but not tha...
20 Years in Canada
4/20 for me is completely different than what some other people celebrate on this day. On April 20th, 20 years ago, my family and I arrived in Vancouver, Canada. On a very cool spring morning, by the way. This week the weather is much warmer than it...
