Or to be exact: what do you do when you come back from an unintentional hiatus during that one season when there is nothing to watch? Really, blogging Star Trek TNG is not exactly a thing to do. Well then, let the random bitching in english begin!

It’s been almost a month since I came back and both suitcases are still sitting in the middle of my bedroom mostly unpacked. I did take out most of the anime stuff though and now I’m facing yet another dilemma: where am i going to put all that crap!! Figurines are currently taking up all existing shelving units (3 in total), tv bench (which is occupied also by printer, scanner, and a 4ft tall tower of empty boxes) most of my table and a good chunk of living room floor. and with a good number more arriving shortly, what’s an otaku to do?
Now, to the horror of most figurine collectors I actually like being able to touch and to “play” with most of my figurines (and yes, i do call them dolls). so naturally all of them get de-boxed right upon arrival and i’m not too keen on keeping them behind glass either. not to mention that anything glass and cats don’t go together very well. I do have couple of budget plans as to where to keep the figurines, along with the stash of anime magazines, manga, and countless boxes of ancient electronics. But I am curious, where do you guys keep your anime and figurine stash?
On the aside note, as my most expensive doll is making his way here, all of you who own Asian ball jointed dolls, where do they sit?

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Well, not so greatly as I still have not unpacked, despite coming back two weeks ago.
I actually find it very hard to write about the trip to Japan simply because there was nothing there that I thinks deserves special attention. Tokyo was nothing surprising, Akihabara felt more like an average shopping district somewhat relevant to my interests, rather than the glorified anime Mecca. I’m either getting old, or I’ve been otaku for far too long; both are not out of the question either. Actually no, I’m lying, Yokohama’s Chinatown was kind of weird: touristy^2. Though I can’t pinpoint exactly what weirded me out the most. I did buy a giant plush meat bun though, now I need to remind myself that it’s a meat bun and not a poring ^___^.
Since I actually don’t have any impressions about the subject matter, here is my small guide to Aki: Read More »

NO, I have not died. And this is the proof. So, the Summer WF 2008:
I actually was a lazy bum and did not line up the night before like i planned to, so i ended up sitting in line two bridges and a park a way form the Tokyo Big Sight (that’s not counting the first “bridge”). See the picture for a better visual representation. But ironically it was not that bad, apart from me not wearing a long sleeve shirt and thus burning my arms/shoulders to a crisp.

Natsume Yuujinchou
My hopes for this season actually relied solely on this series, and right now I’m not sure if it let me down or not. On one hand the main character has much promising personality, on the other hand the “Freckles”* - the creeptastic talking maneki-neko is way to freaking annoying for a comic relief. Which, mind you, is unnecessary to begin with. As many people pointed out it does give off mushishi vibes, both due to the mushi/ayakashi central theme and the somewhat similar personalities of the main characters. But let’s just hope it does not turn out like Tactics. >_< And I do sincerely hope for the return of the cat-like spirit in the purple yakatta. But yea, it all comes down to this one series for the entire season. Not too bad, considering I do have quiet a few on hold, but still, I normally manage to fish out at least two watchable series a season ;_;
*Yea, Madara is a name of the bad guy form Naruto, and that’s all you get if you google it. But if you look up the direct translation it’s actually means “spots” or “speckles”. So I take it whatever his true form is it’s supposed to be pure white, and the red spots is a defect or something? Well, we’ll figure it out later on. Read More »
1: Have I got a story for you
First arc out of the six. Animated by studio 4C, though I don’t even need to say that. This arc actually consists of four different parts three of which are shown from the point of view of each of the kids who claim they saw Batman fight a weird guy and because of that where late.

Time to jump the bandwagon. It’s take two on the long painful subject of “Fansubs are evil”. I originally was going to focus on Scott’s article on Greg Ayres’ panel, but it got torn apart By Hinano and various other people, so there really is no need for me to nitpick on it. So I will focus on roughly two points: Read More »
All is paid and booked, and I land in Narita Airport in the afternoon of July 24th. I am going as a tourist so there really not that much planning that needs to be done, and the one that is mostly involves what to buy and where to go and wether or not bring an empty suitcase for all the anime merchandise. Normally I travel with one bag, not including my laptop case. So since I am traveling to an otaku Mecca the question is: do i want to bring an extra empty suitcase with me, or do i want to use it as an excuse to buy a Gundam Suitcase (Char custom, fuck yeah!!)?

The mini-games on the MGS4 websites where amusing enough. The result will probobly occupy my desktop for pretty long period of time. I actually don’t look at my desktop too much, so I rarely change it, and considering this one is interactive - it will stay there for a while ^^. Now onto the desk: Read More »
