I walked around the commercial booths, I had pasta and coffee at the Moe Moe Kyun meido cafe, I attended the Chiwa Saito and AnoHana panels and, of course, the I Love Anisong concerts. Let's start with quick impressions of the latter. All the concert...

It's time to play the music / It's time to light the lights Redemption queue for light sticks prior to the concert A bit of confusion earlier when people queuing to collect tickets (SISTIC booth in Millennia Walk, not here at Suntec) Well, light stic...

Danny Choo on stage prior to commencement of the press conference Cosplayers Kaname and Usagi as Kaito and Luka Usagi is definitely best suited for Luka cosplay out of all the Vocaloids Bermuda triangle forbidden territory between skirt slit and dem...

 "So... we're here to watch other people watch Miku?" wisecracked someone in the audience as the screening of the pre-recorded MikuPa Sapporo Live this year began. Golden Village had billed this as "Hatsune Miku Live Party 2011" (see photo of billboa...

How much is that Berserker in the window? After seeing all the Servants gather over 2 episodes, the burning question on my mind is - Why is Saber considered the most powerful class? After all Arthuria must be one of the most potent of this class yet...

Possibly one of the least disturbing images to bear the caption "Stripey with Child" Part Two of my selected C80 cosplay photographs; the first installment was posted over at Sea Slugs! My second favourite: Bakemonogatari's Shinobu Oshino Don't think...

Kiritsugu's true Grail wish. Saber heads the sister outlet - Butler cafe Testosterone levels hit a new high this week as the loli cast stayed away and one of the remaining of 2 bishoujos turned butler. Nonetheless, Iri compensated with much feminin...

3 Kings After exploring the various Masters' motivations to participate in the Holy Grail war, episode 2 switches our attention to several intriguing Master-Servant liaisons. Waver-Rider (Iskandar) When I was fresh out of OCS (Officer-cadet-school),...

There are a few things in life I firmly believe one should never touch with a ten thousand foot pole - Drugs, loli-porn, Nia Teppelin's cooking and Kyuubey's contracts. After 2 years collecting anime/2D tapestries (taps), I'm adding that to the list....

As per normal, no photo-taking/video recording were allowed the moment she came on stage It's been more than a month since I went to STGCC for the express purpose of seeing/hearing Shizuka Itou live and now I finally have some time to do a quick writ...

Sorry Feito chan, for both our sakes, it's best we don't ever meet... "Ahhh, I'm SOOO glad I didn't meet her in real life!" has been one of those dominating mental outbursts of late while watching anime. It began with my reliving the great Starlight...

What's a good anime to watch with your kids? My next recommendation is for Stripey to dispose of his Sister Princess DVDs. By fire. Blue Exorcist Info [ANN] ©2011 hontou ni. All Rights Reserved.. Related posts:[Koma] Son of Stripey: Secret Ambition...

Bank Holiday Weekend Warrior I don't play computer or console games; I haven't read comics since Lucifer ended its run in 2007; I don't watch Hollywood movies unless I'm taking a long haul flight (and I've already seen all the anime and Chinese movie...

Many thanks to ExecutiveOtaku for giving me that final push to pick up the superlative Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I had long been daunted by the 110 episode length (as well as the somewhat pompous title) but the well-paced storytelling and compel...

Almost top imouto Four months since the end of Yosuga no Sora and I still cannot get over it. Kasugano Sora SHOULD HAVE been my favourite imouto of ALL time. Just look at her. Light-haired, twin-tailed, deliciously lolicious with a supremely enlighte...

You Can (Not) Be Re-imagined Trigger I didn't pick up this series back in 2006, if I recall correctly, because I had heard that the first iteration wasn't great. In general, I'm also leery of anime based on seemingly interminable shounen manga. More...

Yi's post, in the context of Nopy's broader History With Anime Project, got me reminiscing about how my consumption of anime has evolved through the years, particularly the on and off phases. These have been organized in terms of the media by I came...

In lieu of an actual review: CTRL-ALT-DEL IMHO, yuribou's early review is still BEST. Development notes to self: This turned out quite differently from how the original concept and sketch which had both us ending up shouting "Moe!!" from the balcony...

This in-joke only came to mind with reference to Nutbladder's more literal translation of Sayaka's question: Sono ringo wa douyatte tenireta? Kyouko: I'm in despair! References: Zan Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei OP Anime Lyrics Animelo Summer Live 2009...

Depending on your contractor, having your soul ripped out and placed into a phylactery is the least of your problems. Get to work! Time for a Mountie hunt and harvest a Repeal (Bill 156) Seed! Or if you'd like a plush dango pillow instead... ©2011 h...

Happy Thanksgiving My resistance to Hatsune Miku melted, like butter under a hot knife, after seeing three of her videos at last year's AFA09 I Love Anisong concert. With AFAX just concluded (which I was unable to attend), it's a nice conjunction - D...

That's why we have gates - To keep out lolis Anime isn't quite the most family-friendly form of entertainment of late in the tanuki household since the 2 series I'm currently watching are Yosuga no Sora and Legend of the legendary heroes. The 2 shows...

It is said that more often than not, it's the genki ones with the problems Episode 6 is testimony to FEEL's powress in character-craft given how they managed to flesh out Akira so fully in 2 mere episodes. I enjoyed also how the revelations in this e...
