New York Comic Con ‘08 Report
Just for
the record - Saturday is the only day I’ve attended and that’s it for me. My brain, ears and toes can take no more of the insanity. I really wish I could have met a lot more people than I did, but it goes to show you that if you really want to meet someone - get their cell phone number. Meeting up at a place or hoping to catch them at XYZ is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Alright so in the morning we had our last bag of Hotcakes, dressed up in our Reborn gear and headed off to the Javitz center. Continue Reading »
probably old news to everyone but I recently got myself a 
on the way to NJ today I decide to watch Last Friends, the drama I talked about in my jdrama spring preview. Holy shit is this drama fucked up. Basically take a bunch of fucked up 20 year olds, and put them in a house together and you get Real World Japan. The main heroine is played by the girl who played Rei in Proposal Daisakusen. So seeing her role go from a studios college girl to a poor abused one was really heartbreaking. 
for this post, I’m trying to make it relevant but it seems my blog is slowly turning into my encounters with all things Japan rather than an anime blog these days due to lack of any good anime to write about. Anyway, when I began watching anime just as all anime fans, the first thing we think of is “I want to purchase merchandise from THIS show!” Needless to say I spent some share of my otaku money on sailormoon chibi figures, shirts, keychains and whatever other nonsense was available from 
you’ve all been impatiently waiting so here it is. But before I go into it I have to first talk trash about Kinokuniya and Japanese racism since it is relevant to me purchasing this book. As you guys know Shugo Chara has Special Edition volumes that come out along with every normal edition when a Shugo Chara volume is released. Kinokuniya only had 2 volume 6’s sitting out period, neither of which was the SE. I asked a lady working there if she could help me find a Special Edition or open up one of the drawers where they keep extra books. She told me “can you please wait” because she seemed in the middle of something. Ok that’s cool I just hung around looked at random How to Draw Manga books while I waited. I then saw her come back but rather than helping me, her attitude went from “Go away white person” to “Hi I’d love to help you find it” when she decide to help a random Japanese family who had come upstairs during the time I waited…and basically ignoring my existence. That’s great Kinokuniya. You market your sorry asses towards weeaboos, but when we come to spend money, you ignore us. Yea well you just lost about $6 extra from one of us, fags. And now let’s continue on to the manga review. 
guys wordpress 2.5 is out! That will be updated tomorrow but more importantly, better late than never here is my Proposal Daisakusen special post. As we all had hoped, basically the special literally jumps right into where the 
Anyway the beginning is kinda silly because they waste time showing Rei and Ken on the beach as usual arguing with each other (about the fact that if Ken found her shoe that was lost in the ocean she’d marry him right then and there) but concluding their argument with a hug.
