animemiz’s scribblings..

April is definitely one of my more prolific months… I blogged a lot that month, gaming and what I was watching. Perhaps I should have posted a picture from Saki or Ristorante Paradiso, but I guess this cap from D Gray Man fits it.  I know I was definitely backlogging this series sometimes this year. A lot of things happening in this relatively not as eventful month. I was watching dramas, anime, playing video games, discussing about blogging expectations, responses. This blog is still a work in progress, but I know that my interests will probably revolve around anime and Japanese culture at some point.

This image is actually take by Eric with my camera.

What a month. events – real ones for me.. and  not necessarily anime ones. So yeah.. real life.. happened and yes, New York got to have the Utada Hikaru in person. Her lyrics might not be the best, but her music is something I have liked since I was in high school, so yes to see her in person… was just it. My first experience in doing the long haul for a person/event. That was pretty memorable. Now next year, will be her concert.. and yes I can only think of what will happen. >_<

So what was great about February?

In One Word – or Four – NYCC aka New York Comic Con!

I was there as press so it made it something interesting. Got to see some interesting manga panels. It was three days worth of convention coverage, but what I felt was a strong image to those days were the hoards of Sakurai Sho/Arashi fangirls on Friday. NYCC capitalized on this, have a certain guest, and the fans will come.

So it may or not be that, I am going to be on the mark or not. I do notice some other Anibloggers already on their second day of 12 Days, and I know that Kairu is going to be doing a 12 Moments in Anime spin.

Oh well, I like to give some closure for my blog on a year’s review. Hence my reasoning for including real personal photography as well. On the side note, thanks to Oishii Anime for linking back.

January

Began my 2009 year strongly with a resolution to write as much as I can. January was a month of beginnings.. >_<Wrote 19 blog entries this month.

• Reviewed two artbook and a cd I brought.
• Began Anime Female Feature, which is currently at a standstill.. hopefully will pick it up again.
• Started anticipating New York Comic Con 2009.
• Added a paid WordPress feature that I didn’t use as much as I though I would have.
• Did a figures wishlist, of which I picked up most of the figures.
• Wrote about my Japanese learning goals.

Okay okay, so this year, was reminded by _eternal to think about 12 Days, since I did it last year on this blog – wanted to do something like that for 2009 as well.

As a blogger, I wish I was as prolific as other people’s blogs are, but yeah, so there is a wish to be completed in my long list of things to do or buy.

12 Days as I remember was a anime blogging project that I began last year, that called for bloggers to recap elements of what happened in a particular blogger’s previous months, what symbolized that month for the blogger in their mind.

So my 12 days entries will begin on December 14, and run until Dec 25.

Ahhh.. final day of 12 days!!!!!!! This was an interesting blog run. Uhh…. I truly wish that everyone have a great holiday…and because of my zero artistic talent, I am once again sharing with you all one of my favorite anime, as a fan art Holiday drawing. I can’t really bring myself to say Christmas, because well it commemorates a Western religion IMO.

This is a really neat fan art, that is drawn by Weird Alchemist on deviantArt. It shows off the possibility of the 9th movie very well..

Something to be thankful about…! This made my day. Watching Luffy beat the enemy is always something of interest to me. Particularly since I have been anxiously watching this anime on a running thing. Yes there are moments, that I know staring at this is a very childish thing, and it is like David vs. Goliath moment… But this part herald’s the beginning to the end of the Thriller Bark episode. To which I share an image, and a file…. this is what I was thankful for, I also extracted cast’s rendition of Bink’s Sake….and extracted the new opening, We Are.

Okay now what would you say if you say something like this in real life? Seriously I would be pretty grossed out.. having a virus or a being erupt from your back is kinda scary. In spite of the gorgeous visual eye candy background.

Now the person who Enma Ai normally ferries is already quite tormented, when they are brought down to hell, but since this is the third season. I figure they would have to amp it up a lot, given with the conclusion of the second season and in this third season, of Ai possessing Yuzuki. Still I am very impressed by this series.

This picture reminded me of that doll Shima from Vampire Princess Miyu OVA. Now that’s an older though.. really nice graphics though ne?
