Con-G : Guelph Local Anime Convention

dsc_2174

Local anime community in Guelph took an extra effort to bring anime convention to their town. Travelling to Toronto for an anime convention can be a pain and a lot of hassles especially if you don’t have a car . Not to mention cost of accomodation can be pretty steep for those who are tight on budget and especially since majority of con goers are still in highschool. Obviously, you would rather spend all your money on merchandise instead of accommodation, right ? ^^

Signum 1/7 by Alter

Alter Signum 25

My backlog figures stack are getting higher, although, it may not be as high as Rin’s. Alter Signum is my first Magical Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS figure and the only one that really captivated my eyes. It’s no secret that I love anime characters with a sword and Signum is happened to be one of them ^^. More pictures below. Continue reading “Signum 1/7 by Alter”

The meet up that we had on Friday was fun and awesome. I got to meet up GNDynames (finally XD) and some new otaku. It would be nice if ETERNAL was there too but that’s ok, we just need to find a way to drag ETERNAL out of his room next time ^^

Card Captor Sakura Blu-Ray Box Set

Card Captor Sakura (CCS) Blu Ray Box Set Clow Card and Sakura Card will be released respectively March 27th and June 26 this year. Having to watch CCS religiously on a local TV 11 years ago and easily becoming one of my all time favorite anime, I found it to be quite tempting to get the Blu-Ray Box set until I found how much they cost.

At amazon.co.jp, Clow Card Blu-Ray Box Set is ¥60,606 (US$670) and Sakura Card Blu-Ray Box Set is 36,519(US$404) , on the other hand, play-asia is selling Clow Card and Sakura Card Blu-Ray Box Set for US $857.90 and US $516.90.

T.T I want them so bad but it’s going to cost me about $1100-$1400 for both >.>

My New Persocom

Image via Gelbooru

I started this new project to build another PC specifically used for storage/data only (Anime episodes, Mp3s, images, web development , etc) back on last October 2008 when one of my HDDs was crapping out ie dying. Since I have no way to recover my data if the HDDs fail, I went for Hardware RAID solution which is something I have never done before. For those who don’t know, aside from being an otaku, I am pretty much a PC Hardware geek.

Megurine Luka Bento

Found this gorgeous Megurine Luka bento when I was browsing around at gelbooru. I wonder how long it took to prepare this bento. I am not into vocaloid before but since the released of the new vocaloid Megurine Luka, it totally got me into it ^^. No doubt , she is my favorite vocaloid.

My Favorite video/song from Luka would be the one below since it’s related to FFXI (mmorpg) ^^

Claymore Chapter 88 : Blind Hunters

A new month can only mean one thing: another chapter release of Claymore manga. Chapter 88 is available at onemanga.com for all Claymore fans. I think in this chapter, we all learn that there is no such thing as the strongest one because there will be others that are stronger. Isley is probably just one level under Priscilla (arguably the strongest Abyssal one) and he still has a hard time fighting those Abyss Feeders who has awesome regenerating ability. If Priscilla meets with these Abyss Feeders, my vote goes to Abyss Feeders.
