There’s no lengths to what a Haruhi fan (with loads of spare change) would do. Just take a look at this…
Isn’t it just coolness beyond cool. And totally anime-tastic at that. ^_^
This is actually a custom sneaker specially commissioned by a Haruhi fan who wanted something different. Thus, he got a custom sneaker artist to come up with this pair of Nike Dunks incorporating his favourite anime.
Not only does it look really cool, it’s the only one of its kind in the world. You can’t buy it. If I ever wanted something to represent my favorite anime, this would be quite near to it. It sure beats all the multitude of generic cospa items out there. =p
Here’s more pictures…
Great shoes. Now I just need to convince myself to fork out the cash for my own… -_-;;
If you have ever lived in Japan for a short period, or watched any anime that features high-school life, the concept of Bento (or lunchboxes) would not be foreign at all.
And the bento is not simply a throw-away lunch pack, but contains some of the most creative food artistry I have ever seen.
Case in point, this Totoro Bento looks gorgeous, and absolutely yummylicious. (And it took the poor mother 2 hours to put together)
Awesome, isn’t it. This just take the cake for the most beautiful and realistic anime bento.
And if you want more pictures of anime bento, the Japanese anime magazine Animage occasionally features an anime bento based on a major anime of the season.
Some of them are really wild and creative and I’ll scan in some to show you guys for sure.
In the meantime, if anyone you have attempted to make any anime bento, do share the results with me.
While casually browsing online for anime figures today, I saw this:
OMG! I want it!
It just looks cool, period. And Irisviel is gorgeous as well.
So imagine when I found out it was a limited edition item from Wonderfest 07, with only 5000 sets produced…
I was seriously kicking myself for living under a rock the past year…
It’s probably going to cost a bomb now. I can only blame myself for not noticing this sooner . >_<
My wallet’s gonna bleed again, but it would definitely make a really nice addition to another Fate/Stay Night Saber figure I’m planning on purchasing.
This is a really cool Fate/Zero figure (thankfully not a limited run edition) by Max Factory featuring Saber in yet another black tuxedo, looking mightily suave and spiffy.*^^*
While I’m at it, maybe I’ll try snagging the exclusive Wonderfest 07 Saber Nendoroid as well.
It definitely looks way better than the other mass markets Saber nendoroids. ^^
There are always two sides of a coin, and this is most definitely one of the *Ugliest* Saber figures I have ever seen.
Yuck. Where is her charm??
And not to end this unpleasantly, here’s a Fate Stay Night Set that is 100% candy. The whole gang, at the beach, no less. :p
And lastly, this…
would be a delectable Saber figure too. *Hint Hint, Alter*
I was bored and surfing around today, when for no apparent reason, entered a search for “Animax” on youtube.
And lo and behold, something caught my eye.
[ LOLLIPOP ANIMAX ] Huh?
which was accompanied by the following youtube tags:
[ lollipop animax anime asian school girls hentai lolicon sex hot porn porno xxx ] Huh? Huh?
As most definitely, my curiosity was piqued. So I clicked on the video, and was brought to a screen where I had to sign up to view the video, saying that it contains content viewable for above 18s only. >_>
And the video is as follows.
o_o wow. Animax grows up. It’s more Eromax, lol. ^^
If you do not already know, Animax (www.animax-asia.com) is the cable channel broadcasting anime straight from Japan 24/7.
I guess it can be considered my dream channel and one of the perfectly legal ways in which to get your weekly anime fix… since it airs anime and anime only.
But while watching the channel, I always had the impression it was very clean and sanitized….so seeing ecchi on it…なんかへんね。。。
And obviously, I had to dig further, and here’s what Wikipedia had to say.
“Animax Latin America announced a renewal in its image and projection from August 2007, as well as the premiere of a new programming block (named Lollipop) where adult-oriented series will be destinated to, including hentai (beginning with Immoral Sisters).“
Wow, they are really showing Hentai on Animax. But alas, it was for Animax Latin America, and not here in Asia.
Which does made sense when you think of it. It would like something fantastically out of the ordinary if they can show Hentai.
It’s just not possible, not now, not later, not forever. period. Especially here in conservative Asia.I can imagine all the parents would immediately create a huge uproar.
But anyway, Animax Lollipop was some interesting discovery for me today.
And since I’m hovering close to the topic of legitimate anime watching, I would like to say that for your legal anime fix in Singapore, either import the R1 or R2 DVDs, or watch anime on TV, with Arts Central and Animax both offering a good line-up.
But never, never, never, ever, ever, ever buy anything from Xedo, if you consider yourself a fan.
(I just had to say it; they’re been bashed to death, so one more bash to seal the coffin.)
After seeing the type of businesses that have sprung up recently to cater to the taste of Japanese otakus (and to suck their wallet dry of money), they must be a pretty pervert and subversive species.
Just check out this article on Danny Choo’s blog whereby you can pay to visit a mock-up version of a young girl and get her to play janken with you (at an additional cost of course.)
There’s a normal course, message course and deluxe course, and even a girls course for those into yuri.
It’s articles like this that seriously gives otakus a bad (and sick) image… and for an anime fan who just like anime (like yours truly), I’m also usually labelled as an otaku…which has since ceased to be amusing and instead become something of an annoyance. Can I hope that one day, anime fans are not called otakus, but just anime fans? Seems like that’s akin to telling a cow to stop mooing.
BUT at least otakus are into living girls…but not so the following guy who’s into plastic representations of girls.
This guy has like tons of sex dolls in his room. not one, not two, not three, but tons.
Hell, the story was carried by Reuters no less. He needs a mental therapist.
Ever wanted to meet the face behind the voice of iconic characters such as Ichigo from Bleach, Tidus from Final Fantasy X, Hihara from La Corda and more?
Well, now you can…as Masakazu Morita is coming to Malaysia!
He is the special seiyuu (that’s the Japanese term for voice actor/actress) guest appearance for GACC 08, an anime convention organised by a group of university students in Malacca.
They even managed to get Tohru Furuya last year, not bad for an event only in its third year. Their backers much have deep pockets or excellent connections, lol.
I hope we will have something similar in Singapore too, but seeing as it’s unlikely, I guess crossing the border is not a bad idea too. :p
Here’s a vid of the five male seiyuus in a recording room singing the ending theme of La Corda D’Oro Primo Passo – “Crescendo” by Stella Quintet. (Morita’s the one in red; He’s really into it. :p)
Maybe I should get off my couch and organize an event in sg and bring in Aya Hirano or something…now that will BE something. Anyone else interested in making miracles happen with me?
