Well, well where should I start?
The trip to Kinokuniya was quite fruitful, I finally bought the novel I was collecting plus the Negima manga (The wait for 20% discount is finally over!). Was disappointed when I couldn’t find the novel for Bakemonogatari(化物語), which I regret not purchasing when I saw it a while back, I was crazy enough to try look for the Japanese version of the novel, that itself was not successful as well (I found the shelf, but was lazy to look through the titles >_<).
Another 4 koma on the Endless Eight saga, enjoy :D
Read part one here.
With news of the Endless Eight arc finally ending for the anime: Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2, I can’t help but to think of the fans’ reactions when the DVD release finally comes out, happiness or re-fuelled anger?
Basically, Endless Eight is a chapter in the Suzumiya Haruhi novel, where the characters are stuck repeating a loop, but the people at Kyoto Animations(Kyo-Ani) decided to make this short chapter into a series of anime episodes with the EXACT same thing.
The change of costume does not make up for the constant reminder that you are watching the same thing over and over again, it’s no surprise this has caused a uproar among fans.
This 4koma(4 panel manga) depicts the fans reaction to the Endless Eight Arc of the Second season of Suzumiya Haruhi :D
Hahaha… It was fun making this.
But seriously, Kyo-Ani needs to stop looping the episodes.
To CosFest VIII and back again
CosFest (Short for Cosplay Festival). It’s back again once more! This time they call it “A very happy event”, and a happy event it sure was.
Well, this is the third time I’m went the CosFest, the very first one I went to was CosFest VI , one of the very first cosplay events I blogged about.
Everyone’s costumes looks a lot nicer this year! Don’t believe it? Try playing the photo slide show above!
I’m so glad I was able to attend this wonderful festival, there seems to be more doujinshi stores this time round, I’m looking at those pictures and wondering if one day I could draw as well as them…
Okami to Koushinryou aka Spice and Wolf
I like reading light novels, they are short but interesting. I recall that some has called it text anime, and that term is correct(Since many light novels end up being made into an anime). Well, the problem is that most of the great stuff are in Japanese T-T, save for a few that is lucky to get translated to other languages, but even in translation it may lose it’s original meaning/flavor.
So to spur myself to learn the Japanese language, I bought… No, not a Japanese for dummies book or any of those teach-yourself-language type. But rather I bought a Japanese light novel, 狼と香辛料 also known as Spice and Wolf.
Great idea eh?
Been quite a while since anyone mentioned Blood+, the hype might be back due to the release of the Blood live action movie. Hopefully, this will be a good thing. Then again, since anime turned live action movie don’t usually translate well (remember Dragonball: Evolution?), I’m hoping this actually will bring more people into contact with the Blood+ series, rather than turning them away…
As one of the darker animes that I like, this has very well spun story, from the start to the end it had me glued to the screen (Well, some of my friends said the plot was kinda slow.). Plus, this series has a great sound track!
This was what I was listening when I wrote this post:
That’s it for now :D
Got myself one of those Coaster Board… Also widely known as WaveBoard or Ripstick.
I believe that my interest was sparked when i saw it being somewhat similar to “surfing” in the anime Eureka 7.
After a couple of tries, I can move the board forward in a straight line (well, not that straight but you get the picture )… turning left is like on of the most terrifying thing i need to learn, but I’m okay with turning right as turning left you will have to lean back… (Scary…)
It’s kinda fun once you are able to balance on the board itself… Haha…
Btw, i saw the english trailer for Gundam 00…
Lol… Setsuna just sounds weird, like he suddenly become an old guy. Haha..
Oh yeah… Many thanks to Jia Hao for the cool EA sweater ^__^
School’s out for a bit, I find myself lazing around the house.
Thinking back at those hectic days, it’s a miracle I managed to pull through XD
Had deal of great help from my class mates, friends and professors.
For that I am truly grateful.
Okay, thanking session over! So a quick review on what I went through this few weeks.
First was the AFA08 that i attended (and it’s the week before Exams XD).
With the tickets in hand we went through the gate…
An effective method to make a song unstuck in your head…
Well… Ever had those days when you had a song stuck in your head and you can’t get rid of it?
I found one solution! Sing it out and record it, when you hear how comical you sound it surely get it off your head! (That’s only when you are not a professional singer, lol)
I had the song “what about my star” stuck and i successfully got it out by listening to this:
Hahaha… i sound “great” don’t I? XD
