Well, before I start, let me explain the previous post, seeing as how SOME people didn't understand what I was doing...
I was watching some animes when I came across some nice shots (and by nice shot I mean cute or funny shots you perverts). I thought of sharing with you guys when I remembered that SOME of you here having weird/different tastes while others don't appreciate the stuff I appreciate. Thus, I decided to forget it. Thus, the lame pictures in the previous post.
Ok, back to the topic. Today, I found out about a new fighting game on the arcade and later on, the PS3. From the makers of the Guilty Gear(GG) series, Blazblue, is a new fighting game that looks quite similar to the GG series. Video 1, Video 2, Video 3.
The system looks really like GG... Hell, even the 2 main characters are really similar to the 2 main characters in GG, except that they use different elements... -.-'
And now, to the other topic.
Yay! The Star Factory at Sun Plaza has Street Fighter IV as of today! When I stopped by the arcade on my way home earlier, I saw it! 2 cabinets of SFIV right out front! too bad its also $1 here.. T_T But all the same, its great that they brought SFIV to the Sun Plaza branch :) They've been seriously ignoring the place for like forever, so its good to see SFIV here :D

89 - Toradora!
Wow... This week's episode really takes the cake. What a cliffhanger. Such emotions. I've never wanted to watch the next episode so badly. Wow... O.O
Also, I wanted to share this link. SC. Really really cool. Someone posted this link on Hamachi and out of curiosity I went and took a look. So, here I am, sharing this with everyone who comes here.

87 - Singapore
AFA'08
Amazingly, on a site I go to quite frequently, there's this coverage of the recent AFA'08. And, for the sake of having a new post here, I'll go though the article's notable stuff briefly. And lo and behold, there's a picture in there that JX and I'm in (though not so notable), let's see who is able to notice it. Hint: It's where we were at in the morning for quite a long period of time.
Page 1
Overview
Page 2
Nanoha doujinshi, some 'interesting' stuff, and be amazed, Chuang Yi!
Page 3
ODEX! Alter, gundams, and the arcade. They missed mentioning the MBAA machine there, but then again the game wasn't up the time the picture was taken.
Page 4
9am queue. This guy's good, he nhas a media pass and didn't need to queue... Basket! Oh, and are you guys in the picture of the queue? Then, the opening ceremony, I missed it as I only entered at like after 9.30am.
Page 5
And here showcases the place. The title of one of the pictures was 'Queue for those buying AFA08 exclusive Gundam model kits'. I didn't know some of the kits there were exclusive to AFA. Kareshi Kanojo no Mise (KKnM to those who don't know the full name, shame on you).
Page 6
The arcade there (is it me or does that guy on the right looks like Sherman? Or is it really him?). The big crowd there is gathering at the MBAA machine there, yes the one this guy didn't mention earlier... Then, he went for lunch (sucker, when in Singapore, you should really try the local food here..). And Power Ranger Operation Overdrive (or the latest one if you don't know), and the talk held by the gundam designer.
Page 7
The queue at 3pm. Surprisingly, the queue was longer at 3 then at 9.. O.O
Then Tamagotchi (<_< at the guy's comment) and duck rice and barley for dinner (that's what I'm talking about! Local food!).
Also, Ichirou Mizuki's concert.
Note: I don't know how this guy passed the time there. Arriving at 9, I lasted til 3 before deciding there wasn't anything left and went home. He waited for the concert on the floor with his PSP... Then again, there WAS this bunch who waited with their NDSs outside JUS-ing...
Day 2
Page 8
The 5s challenge! I saw that toy(?) when I was there on the first day. 'I regretted not bringing enough cash on the first day. Most of the good figurines were sold out on the first day... T_T' he said, ^_^
'Mangaka 08 prize presentation. Some of the prizes were quite good, including drawing boards by Wacom and some anime DVDs', wonder if they're from Odex, the anime DVDs, but then again, Odex doesn't do DVDs now do they? So where were they from?
Page 9
Cosplay and the MCs huh? I remember the MC at the arcade booth being ridiculed from the MBAA side for his kinda lame comments of the ongoing Street Fighter IV tournament on the first day.
Page 10
On stage, after 3-4mins? O.O
Hmm, the cosplay event lasted an hour longer than expected? O.O
Again non-local food?!?! >.<
And the items he bought (I'll try to name them): from left
Muv-Luv Unlimited's Mitsuki
Nendroid Shana
Nendroid Rider(?) (Not too sure here)
Fate/Hollow Ataraxia's Rider (Maid ver) (you got this didn't you HY)
And some other goods I'm not too sure about.
And his media pass. (damn, I'm jealous... )
Extras page 1
His photos of the cosplayers
Damn, he's clueless... Not knowing Illya and Sol Badguy...
Page 2
Hey, is that the male Tifa?
Page 3
Nothing worth mentioning
Page 4
O.o Soul Eater and for Gintama fans, Gintoki. Ultraman, the character in the photo next to it looks really familiar but I just can't seem to recall where I've seen that character before. And Vampire Knight
Page 5
Exia! Is that guyver? Pull open your chest man! Hollow Ichigo and a female Byakuya O.O
p.s. Lets see if you guys can find me in one of the photos there ^_^
Here's a clue, I'm on page 6, first photo.

85 - Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo
And Enemy of the State.
Yesterday, I watched TwKS and today, Enemy of the State (this ain't an anime in case you're wondering why you've never heard of it).
TwKS tells us of the possible dangers of playing with time. From changing the events that are undesirable to you like screwing up in Home Economics, to matters of pride like catching the ball while playing baseball with friends, the main character, Makoto Konno, uses the time travel powers she obtains after an accident in school.
Not realising the consequences of playing around with time, she uses her new-found powers for her own benefits, which result in someone else getting hurt instead. As she changes history of the few days told in the show, the results gets worse and worse, up to the point where 2 of her friends suffer a train accident in her stead. That's when she realises the severity of her playing around with time.
How this story ends, you'll have to find out for yourself if you didn't watch it yesterday ;)
Although this is a remake of the original story, with new characters and such, it still is a good animation.
Enemy of the State.
This is another movie in which Will Smith acts in. I kinda find the movies he act in to be pretty good movies, like The Pursuit of Happiness (though I didn't watch it...) and that zombie movie (>.< I forgot the title...).
Having missed the first 15 minutes of the show due to certain circumstances, I missed why the NSA (National Security Agency [of USA]) was after. Fortunately, the movie explains it only later. He somehow obtains a video, of a high-ranking officer of the NSA, killing a Congress member, and said guy find out and sends the NSA after him.
He runs for his life, and with the help of an ex-NSA agent, pieces together why they are after him. However, he accidentally damages the video allow the way and the only proof of the act is lost. Having no other route left, he stages a risky play to get the criminal to confess to his crime.
Packed with action and wits, this is one good movie. If you missed it, too bad for you. You missed one cool movie..

84 - Okto & AFA'08
Looks like last week was an exception as this week's translation and video quality are decent again. Though, I still think the opening's a little fast forwarded.
Today's the first day of the 2 day Anime Festival Asia 2008. Having attended it, I'm going to talk about what I did today. Missing the pre-registration by a day or a few hours (I tried to register on the evening of the last day and somehow it said that the registration was closed...), I had to take a line that opened later than that for those who pre-registered. So, I went in a bit later than those who pre-registered (about 1/2 hour).
Going in, I went around looking at all the stalls set up as unlike SOME people, I didn't eye anything in there beforehand. So I went around looking at everything. Immediately upon entering, is a gundam stall. It sold gundam model kits, from the latest 00 to even the Three Kingdom gundams. To the left, was a big display of gundam models. There were some pretty cool models there and I think I took a few pictures of them, but my handphone ran outta battery earlier today and is charging right now, once it finish recharging, I'll check and post any and every picture I took today.
Pass that, were some stalls about Animax and some other stuff that I don't exactly remember. Next was a figurine display section. It took up a decent amount of space and it had some interesting figurines up on display.
Near there was a booth set up by Chuang Yi (any Singaporean who don't know them, seriously, get a life). I saw 2 series that interested me. I was following one while the other was one that I had interest in for a while now. The one I was following I had the latest 2 volumes but not the first 3, so that bundle was exactly right for me. ^_^
Though admittedly, I hesitated n buying them (they totally $20 for the 6. Yes, a bargain I know but I still hesitated...). I got them later though, so no disappointment there. ^_^
Then there were figurine selling stalls. I don't exactly know what the shop's were (those interested in knowing can probably ask hy, he'll probably know) but they had some stock of figurines there. Some were bargains while some were at normal prices. I took an interest in one of the figurines on sale there and hesitated only a bit before shelling out $50 ($49 but hey what's the difference?) for it before it disappeared. After that, I continued to check out the place.
There was this small stall in the middle of the place that sold anime posters and a few other collectables. I wanted to check out the stuff there but there was a frigging loooonnnnggggg line there... >_<
Not wanting to line up that long to just see the stall, I moved on. There weren't much left after that. Another anime advertisement booth which advertised some animes (Toradora, Skip Beat and Casshern Sins and Shakugan no Shana to name a few). Surprisingly, there was a doujinshi booth too near there! They had some pretty nice Nanoha doujins there. I didn't get them though as I didn't want to blow so much money.. Regrets around, but I think I would have regretted it more if I blew my savings on them.
There was a stage there, but I didn't pay much attention to it though. I was concentrating more on the arcade there. *eye sparkles*
There, was *drum roll* Melty Blood Actress Again. *loud clapping* Yayyy!! In total, I played it trice losing in all 3, but I put up a good fight too as in all of them, I won 2 out of the 3 rounds before losing.
Around 3, I was feeling tired and went home, ending my trip there.
Yes, my handphone camera sucks and rotating the picture didn't exactly help either...

82 - Zzz...
Patiently each week, I eagerly await ToraDora. However, tonight's episode is really really disappointing. The frigging show was flickering every 2s or so!!! And I think the opening song was fast-forwarded by a bit... The translation for this week's episode also seem a little off. For the past 5 episodes, the translations of ToraDora were decent. Compared to the one I follow on the net (Aero subs), it faired pretty well in my opinion. However, this most recent episode's a disappointment... It's like rushed or something... This anime isn't even same week telecasted. In fact, this episode was aired in Japan last Wednesday, so not having enough time to translate properly shouldn't be an excuse.
Really, they should be careful about their shows, stuff like this could damage their reputation...

Quantum of Solace.
=.=|
Having not watched the previous James Bond movies, I'm kinda lost on the story. The action's good though. Reminds me of Mirror's Edge though, the way he jumps from balcony to balcony and such. Pretty cool movie overall, though kinda not worth if one did not watch the previous installment(s?).
Extra: Zzz... Just got my ass handed to me in >7/8 of the MBAC matches today............. ,>_<,
Extra2: o.o ToraDora! has a game on the PSP that has a release date that's to be announced?!?! Damn, hope the NDS will have one too.
