TOKYOPOP claims Monochrome Factor 3 will be released September 9th.  Needless to say, my trip to the bookstore today resulted in me buying one extra, unexpected book. Akira finally gets a few answers to his questions after Ayu beats up the surrounding kokuchi with a steel pipe - he’s a king, apparently.  Shirogane and Homurabi are [...]

Coffee?  What’s that? BLEACH 79 - Yup, the coffee episode.  BLEACH is certainly getting more action-y, but I would much rather be watching the original manga-based episodes.  But, fillers can’t be helped. We learn of Yoshino’s “maternal spiritual power,” and she and her doll, who is apparently in love with her, make a great sacrifice that makes [...]

  I was walking home when suddenly a young voice echoed through the night. The voice, like a song, is unmistakably that of a young girl. My vision is drawn to the top of the hill. There - Berserker a pure white angel, standing in the softly falling snow.1.(ﾉゝ∀・)~キラ☆Out of all the cosplayers, Illya here stood out. Not because she was the only Fate/Stay Night cosplayer in a sea of Bleach and Naruto, but because she pulled Illya off with such grace that one would have thought she was the white angel in the flesh. And to top it off, she's only 14 - a real life loli. 2.3.Okarinasai, my master4.Bouken desho desho?5.So moe! I gonna die!I hope that she appears again in EOY later this year. @C.I : Well, no Akiha cosplayers, but there's Illya. lolMaybe I should have detexted this first....Never mind.

Went down to the Summer Matsuri at VivoCity yesterday. While I know it isn't anything like Cosfest or EOY, it still fell short of expectations. Admin matters were the main problem - the emcees appeared lost most of the time and planning wasn’t really smooth going. And they kept looping the same few songs over and over. I probably heard Chobits’ “Let me be with you” 10 times that day. But oh well, who cares about that. The important thing here is the cosplay. Most them were so-so, but two stood out in particular. They will be getting their own posts later. From Xedo, with love. Have you recieved yours yet?Yup, there aren't as many people here as there were during Cosfest this year. Sure makes it easier to get around, without having to<link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Alvin/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml"><style> </style> squeeze pass everyone. Some of those magazines date back to the year 2004. Some nice stuff on sale. Such as this Konata and Akira figurine. Gah! Konata!-----------------Okay, that's enough random pictures. Let get down to the cosplaying proper----------------- The Flame-Haired-Raging-Eyes Hunter, Shana Air Gear Naruto cosplayers. You see them everywhere. D.Gray Man, Vampire Knight and Bleach cosplayers flood the place too.I'm bored of them, so I didn't bother taking any This guy pulls off quite a good Kakashi. Can't see his eye through, ahaha. I forgot who she's supposed to be, but who doesn't like gothlic lolita girls with swords? Gin-sama! Yeah, I'm a fan of Suigintou, so it doesn't matter if she does a good job or not. This is the face that will piece the Heavens!

Another month passes by and another event was organised, this time it is the Singapore Cosplay Matsuri 2008 held at VivoCity yesterday.. Music Matsuri which took place the day before was meh, and since it was raining quite badly, there weren't any huge crowd gathering around the stage.. So anyway, going back to Cosplay Matsuri.. It is one of the events when cosplayers come together and showcase their repective characters that they are cosplaying as.. From D.Grayman to Bleach to Fate/Stay Night.. ^^ Even though the cosplay competition starts at 4pm, the cosplayers were already at the event place as early as 12pm.. The place was packed with cosplayers, photographers, random ppl and families by 2.30pm.. So I took the liberty to take some shots of the cosplayers during the Cosplay Matsuri.. Without further ado, I shall let you see the pics.. Can you try guessing some of the characters they are cosplaying?? xD Well, other than just cosplayers, there was someone who brought his figma collection to the event and take some shots of them.. There were figma Konata, Fate and Nanoha.. Last but not least we have the special figma Suzumiya Haruhi on her own bike.. How cool is that?? ^^ My dad's N82's battery life at this point of time (4.30pm) was at critical mode.. I decided to take every single cosplayers, new or old with the N82 before it goes dead, which it did in 1.5 hours time.. -_-" So with that, lets continue on with the cosplay gallery.. Nosebleed.. xD As the Cosplay Competition began at about 4.30pm(delayed), I was still taking my own sweet time taking more shots of the cosplayers.. I noticed there was a chibi Deidara cosplayed by a 9 year old girl... Yes, you heard me right.. It is a 9-year-old girl, cosplaying.. Now that is pretty awesome.. Ok, here is what you have been waiting for; LOLI HARUHI.. Well, my bro, Infestor51 said that she will be coming for the cosplay event in her Haruhi costume.. However, I did not expect her to be wearing a Nekomimi accessories.. Nuff said, lets just see the pictures.. ^^ Loli Haruhi with her figma counterpart.. xD Well, thats all ihave to post for this entry of Singapore Cosplay Matsuri 2008.. If you want to see more pictures, you can do so by visiting my Photobucket Site.. Thanks again for visiting my website.. I hope you enjoyed it.. ^^ It is a Pity that I didn't get to meet Ruby-san during the Music and the Cosplay Matsuri.. But I heard from my friend that she was cosplaying goth Asuka from EVA.. I hope that is her.. Until then, have fun during the September School Holidays everyone.. ^^

Apparently Mr. Tite Kubo is surprised that BLEACH is as popular as it is. “When I started ‘Bleach,’ I thought if I were really serious, it might run for five years; it’s now in its eighth year.” Click here to read the article from the Los Angeles Times.com.  As many of us BLEACH fans know Mr. Kubo [...]
