Holidays | Toradora Complete | Time for personal works!

Oha

It's been a little while since the last entry, I have missed you all m(_ _)m

If you are celebrating your holiday right now, how are you enjoying it?

This holiday has been a hasty though not stressful race of catch-up. Catch-up as in personal projects that can't be done while at college.

Not that college is a bad thing but, it certainly cuts the time down or is that just bad time management? (^_^);;;

Some shows that I've finally caught up on over the course of this new year:

- Air

- Angelic Layer

- Doujin Work

- K-On!

- Kannagi

- Kasimasi ~ Girl meets Girl ~

- Minami Ke

- Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu

- Toradora

Some of these are pretty old but, as they're downloaded over time it is not the quickest way of watching them. Having just completed Toradora last night it is still fresh in my mind. It's also a show that holds personal relevance to me so... that may have helped me to enjoy it even more (*>.<*)

Apart from anime, there are a few doujinshi titles but, sadly no manga at the moment. Manga happens to be one of my favourite Otaku indulgences. No Visual novels either but, there's a few games I'm playing now too.

Please try Osu! If you're into rhythm games~

Part of the personal projects is the site update, of course. It has been a long wait and hopefully things will go better this time round.

I've found that having a blog can be a good motivator; do you feel that way too?

Well, this ends a rather short post

Figures | Preorders | Heavy Metal

Oha!
A simple and unplanned post for today.

After reading several blogs (which includes Danny Choo's page, perhaps the most XD), I have embraced my figure-otaku side.
Truth be told, Figures did not entice me as much before but, then I did not know much about anime or manga at the time.
Now that I am more aware of certain matters, I am willing to spend money on figurines as their value means a lot to me.
The time and effort needed to create a figurine is not realised by many. Figurines and Plamo are shunned as simple 'kids toys'.

There is a certain charm and value that a figurine and gunpla has that a toy will never attain.
For those interested, I have preordered these two figurines:

~ Fate/Stay Night: Rin Figma (Max Factory)
~ Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu: Nagato Yuki Guitar-Wizard version (Max Factory)

I am counting the days before the arrival... it is oh-so-painful to wait ;_;

Deviating from the above content slightly, last night I took time out to enjoy an interesting animated film. The title was "Heavy Metal". As a Metal fan, I thoroughly enjoyed the addition of names such as Black Sabbath, Devo, Riggs...
The animation was brilliant, a gem for it's time. Featuring the first animated scenes of perspective flying, incorporating multimation, challenging the norms, metal music as the score, staying true to the original illustrators’ works...

Truly, a great movie.
I do recommend this title to anyone who can appreciate the above.

That ends this post. I do hope that this can be informative and enjoyable to those reading, I try to have variety in my posts.
Though, even If I am the only one reading this, I do enjoy the experience of blogging and I shall continue as long as I am inspired.

Buy, buy, buy & Covers

Oha!

After reading several blogs, I've come to realise that as hobbyists (Otaku, if you prefer), spend a great amount of money on the objects of our desire. If presented the opportunity to take a second chance at choosing an item from a certain store, would you take the chance? Personally, I try to control my hobby by limiting my spending during the month. The best way is to find a supplier that suits your taste! [This is easier said than done]

Are there any new local suppliers in your area? Do you have contact that will be travelling overseas? On another note, I thought I’d take the time to bring up musical covers. How do you feel about them? A popular song, "God Knows" made popular by seiyuu and singer Hirano Aya has been covered by Momoi Haruko. Fairly old news but, there are preferences even among favorites, isn't that pretty. I feel like a bad fan ^^; [I prefer the Momoi Haruko version more]

Well, this ends another post. I'm sill uncertain about my blogging format but, if this is even a bit interesting for someone, I’d be overjoyed ^o^

Headphones are Moe|More figs on their way

Oha!
This is a post from 'Life', 'Music' and 'Moe' catergory, since I thought I'd share a bit with you ^_~ Perhaps one of the more underestimated devices, headphones were seen as products. Being a product and therefore an item to sell, it needed beauty as the demand for it increased. The turnover from simple headphones to drool-worthy headphones started from that decision. In the end, we really are... Victims to marketting stratergy? Maybe Love for gadgets? Yes Love for headphones? YES! A few pics :3



Finally, a local store has updated their merch! Predicted spoils:
~Nendoroid Haruhi
~Mecha Musume vol.3
~Strike Witches vol.1

If these items are in stock, expect a photoshoot next week!

Vocaloid, huh?

Oha!

Not too long ago, I was completely clueless about the programme Vocaloid and it's respective mascots. As we all know, once something becomes popular on the internet, it gets spread far and wide, seemingly stalking you XD
Well, this is what stopped me from involving myself with Vocaloid. Possibly the worst choice, as I'm a fan of music, the process of making music and related matters.

It was bound to happen, sooner or later.

And, so it did.

Now, I am stalking after a copy of Vocaloid.. strange enough. I'm slowly gaining upgraded sound equipment and hope to experiment with more traditional methods but, it can't hurt to go digital ^_~
On the note of Vocaloid, Kagamine twins win over Miku, for me (^o^)b

Cleaned up

So, I cleaned things up a bit.. not much to change, really ^^;
Hoping to sort my link list and try to gain some feeds next, so look forward to that!

Also, do give this flash vid a look... it's pretty funny!
