It has been about 3 or years more since the last time I posted here but it was only that I had moved to organizing my posts and works on tumblr! (sakura0104) and on my facebook page which you can find to your left. I’m officially leaving this account as it is since I see no point in maintaining many blogs at one go but please do say hi if you happen to follow me on any of my other accounts!

Because this sure got my heart! I’ve never really plan to blog on [オオカミさんと七人の仲間たち / Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi] since it’s quite some time ago that I’ve watched it. So why am I posting this here you ask? Well, it’s because late of last month, I’ve pre-ordered the Alter figurine of Ookami-san! 😀
I don’t usually buy figurines that much, but when I saw this, I decided that it’s a must-have~
I would recommend people to watch it – it’s a decent, funny and nice anime. It revolves around the fairytales such as Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Snow White and etc in the most interesting way. I kinda wished they have Ryoushi (the hero) figurine out haha. But no complains, I only have female figurines so far > w <
[オオカミさんと七人の仲間たち] is a JC Staff anime which began airing early of July, this year. Funimation has got this series, so I can’t wait to see it in English as well. Their dubbing has been getting better and better (I wonder if Vic would get to be Ryoushi?). Haha, that would be a dream come true. Anyways, It’s a 12 episode series and May’n sings the OP theme, [Ready Go!] – which she sang in AFA X (I was tremendously happy! though I’m not sure if everyone knew of the song..). I’ll leave you with the Opening~
Apparently, snow is! You should be able to see that it’s snowing here at my blog 😀 Lol, it’ll only last till the next month though.
Some people have been asking on what happened to my report on AFA X – I do have some of them typed out but I haven’t got around to downloading the photos from my phone and camera though I don’t have that many photos to post. I am terribly sorry for the late report on it, but I will do my best to get it up in parts at least ^^ Please do wait for it nee.
After get back home, the lot of us who went to AFA X got a fever bug, which was quite strong for almost everyone got it and we were sick for about a week. Time passed and we were back to health, but work was piling up and deadlines are getting nearer and nearer. And so, with that, we got to work almost immediately. I set up my working station and cleaned my office as I do before getting to work (though it’s all in a mess for now haha). I took a few photos and twitted on it so some of you might have seen what it was like. I’ll a few below:
I was working on inking the manuscripts, [Le Noir]
And this is my work station currently while working on a name (storyboard) for a manga
What does your desk look like? 😀
I just finished watching [Working!]. Haha, it’s not bad and it was funny – can’t beat [Durarara!] and [Angel Beats] to being my favourite but it’s definitely one of those anime I wouldn’t mind recommending to other people for entertainment.
While drawing Kida from [Durarara!], I was pretty much happy to watch Satou from episode to episode in [Working!]. Starting to made me think that I’m into blonds even though that isn’t the case~ If you’re tired out and want to take a break off things, watching [Working!] would cheer you up a bit (while watching them working instead lol). Well I wouldn’t wanna go on and on bout the anime since I don’t want to have any spoilers on this post ^^ Have fun watching and feel free to let me know how you think~ Here’s a trailer PV on [Working!], check it out nee!

Regarding to the title of this post, it is the effect of [Durarara!] on me instead of the effect of it to all the people who have watched it. To be honest with you, I haven’t been in touch with the animanga world as much because I wasn’t really motivated to continue watching (nor find the time to) but after watching [Durarara!], I realized that I was only dead. And this show has revived me as an animanga fan.
It has been a while since I watched something that isn’t storyplot-empty. From now on, I’ll be looking forward to filling my time with more input such as these. If there’s any recommendations, be sure to let me know ^^ I’ll be open to them~
Here’s the opening for the anime. I hope that more stories like this will be produce in the future.
May’n is out with a new single! シンジテミル [Shinjite Miru], one of her recent songs – I’m hoping that it’d be one of the songs performed on her upcoming concert in Singapore [AFA X]. You can check out the details for the ticketing here.
I think that this would be the fourth time I’m seeing May’n 😀 Though everytime I do, it is worth it so there’s no complains. This time, the reason I got myself a second day ticket is to go watch [Angela]! One of my favourite groups.
Anyone going for AFAX this year? ^^
Went to sushi king today and had a whole lot of sushi. They had this RM2 promotion to all of the sushi on the sushi belt and I think I had about 8 to 9 plate. Mostly salmon of course, they’re my favourite. Thanks to my dear and precious friends on taking me to the heavenly sushi adventure (not much lawl).
Anyways, I’ve been up and bout assisting and working on another project. The manga that we’re selling gonna come with four postcard size prints! And these are two of them in the process of inking. I hope that people will like it. There’s a lot of hair to be inked haha though I think the girls turned out better this time.
The manga and postcard prints will be available at Mascot Parade and Cosfest this weekend~ Hope that I’ll have loads of fun in my one-in-singapore-day! See you guys there!
You know, it’s a funny thing when you really like something or a subject that you know that that will be something you’re going to pursue in your life. If not as a career, it would probably be a constant hobby. For me, it’s manga.
Since the first time me and my sister worked on manga (I think it was when we were 17 or 18 years old), I’ve always been itching to work on a manga. Whenever I do get to work on it, it’s so challenging but its super duper fun.
I never really believed that I could make my own manga because I wasn’t fluent where drawing is concerned compared to how I feel about colouring but now I find them both equally challenging and fun. I can’t wait to be working on the next project~
When you’re working, sometimes doing the same routine over and over again for so long would blind you from what you really want to do (especially if it’s just another job that you’re working only for the money). Sitting here everyday nulls my brain – though it does help me financially, somewhat. I don’t want to be stuck here for too long though; that would be terrifying.
But the good thing about working where I’m working right now is that this shopping mall is like a desert – not much crowd since it’s relatively new. I’m allowed to bring my laptop here, use the desk and even the books! (as long I take care not to spoil them) Too bad it is not such a conducive environment to draw and colour (for me at least) because of the temperature – they set the temperature too low for me that I’m dressed like I’m traveling to the north pole lol. The funny thing was that I forgot to bring my jacket yesterday – imagine the pain! I was shivering the whole day. The wifi is too weak for me to do basically anything too. Oh well, but after paying off what I need to pay off, get some money saved, I’ll be well on my way out of here~
Oh, my family and I ordered in McD the other day and they changed their packaging yeay, did you notice? Though it has been about a week or so already, I bet you have. They might have used this design before… i think? haha.

Oh, as for the shop-blog that was inactive for a while, we’re still taking in orders – just need some time since I’m reorganizing everything and had to wait for my other laptop to be fixed, it was infected x_x It had all the editing programs that I needed to get things going so I’ll announce once it’s up and running actively again.
This is my first convention that I went to without participating in renting out a booth on behalf of my group, kamcao. Even though we did have our stuffs sold together with Four leaf clover and surface’s stuff at a booth there for the leftovers from other conventions.
At first, I thought that I’ll be the only one from kamcao that will be attending GACC this year so I’ve made some plans to go there with a few other friends that will be attending as well but only for the second day of GACC. But it turns out that both Ryu, Iwashi and Squall decided to go as well haha, I was kinda sad and felt left out that I won’t be around having fun with them like we always do but I had fun with the group of friends I was with too so it was cool~
I headed out of the house around 9:45 am expecting to head out to pick some other friends before we push off but we only had one last person to fetch and off we go (oh and thanks for the McD breakfast I got! * A * I appreciate it so so much though the chili sauce incident was funny). I had not much memory of what happened in the car on the way to the venue for I think I was still half asleep.
Getting parking at the compound was not much of a hassle for we’ve all been there before and quite acquainted with the venue. Not to mention that there was some people managing the traffic there itself which was better than last year. We walked to the event hall, we found that the banner printed for it was upside down. We laughed at the fact that it was upside down – I think the reason was because the arrow that shows on where you showed go is printed on the opposite direction.
Inside the hall, the layout did not change much since the previous years of GACC but this year seems to be more disorganized and seems rushed. I didn’t quite like how they arranged the doujin booths. For instance, if you want to go outside that area, you’d have to walk towards the end of each table line – which is a waste of time and it lacks personal space for each booth on the left and right side. In result to this, you see people coming in and out through under their booth tables, it’s very creative of them but on a bigger picture for the event, it does not seem professional to see that happening. Having said that, behind the booth was spacious which makes the area looks neat and convenient – just not practical for the booth owners. Tablecloths and a board was provided for each booth which was a good thing if best utilized.
As the tradition of GACC goes, they have live music! Which is nice but not for the booth owners who are placed nearer to the speaker – this is something bad for booth owners and it does affect their sales since it lessens the chance of your customers interacting with you. I personally somewhat enjoyed the live music though I’m quite sure if the people playing cards would – it seems to be a kill joy. The song choices were pleasantly cool and some of the bands were not bad, though it dreaded long enough to drive people away if they don’t like it – and causes migraines for some as well.
Sadly I missed the opening but I heard the song choice from the games section which is one of my favourite songs so it’s cool haha. I hope the opening would be available for download like it was in 2008 – I would like to add it to my collection. Being in the games room, I’m not much of a gamer myself but the layout and interaction for this section was way much better in 2007 & 2008. It looks somewhat pitiful compared to previous years though the game competition was fun to watch – I liked it. Having more consoles, speakers and bigger screens would enhance the section by miles – but the merchandize section was exciting to go through, I wished I brought money to shop there.
It rained in the afternoon that day so my friends and I who thought of leaving sooner was stuck there so we fled to the canteen. We had this bread with cheese and minced meat on it (have no idea what it was called since I stole some of my friend’s) but it was nice! Especially on a rainy day haha. After saying goodbye and seeing some of our friends off, the heavy rain has reduced to drizzle so we walk to the car and head to the city.
I left out a lot of things regarding the event such as the Cosplay competition and Card Game Competition but then I wasn’t there long enough to experience everything and I was getting really hungry lol. Though there was some indicators hanged from the ceiling that left me in confusion for a while – I think that the hall was better off without it since it has nothing to do with the event. The environment wasn’t as overwhelming and brimming with enthusiasm like it was in the previous years. I see a lot of familiar faces which is kewl but it strikes the event to be less promotive – if we were to see many new faces means that the community and event is growing.
Well, I personally had fun with my group of friends. It was certainly worth it for me to follow them~ Though there was a massive jam that we were caught in at the end of the day, so I kinda feel bad for the driver since I slept through most of the journey. I hope that there’ll be more good events this year. Though I must say that I think Daikon last year was better organized than GACC – but AFA would be the best so far of course~ ❤
