Today was an extremely lovely day, so me and Kagamin went out for bit of a joyride. Midway we realized that the roadsides were all white, and it reminded me of the sakura trees in the university. Needless to say, we headed off that way.

Okay, so about the prize that I won from the beNippon prize draw, I came home from work today and Haruhi and Tsuruya were already busying themselves with cutting the duct tape open. I gotta tell the mailman to put the stuff in a hard to reach place next time.

Last week, my blog was the winner of the beNippon prize draw. First of all however, I'd like to thank all my readers for all their support in helping keep this blog alive! Thank you all so much! And thank you for your comments! And don't think I'll just leave it at that. I'll find a way to let you guys win something too! For now however, if you own a blog, you can always join this prize draw too by going to benippon.com and find out how you can make sure you have one of their banners on your site and that they know about it so they can enter you into the draw too. Finally, I'd like to thank beNippon for giving the chance to participate in the quest for suddenly acquired figures, and for giving me the choice of a very cute and very fappable figure.

Ok this is borderline SFW and not suitable for juniors because of the language. I completely WTF'ed out at this and died of laughter. Enjoy.

Ok so I'm a little late on this. Well, more than a year late to be more precise. Admittedly I only found out about Fireball after I was buying a Drossel figma from Max Factory and was wondering where it came from so I could get some pose and comic ideas later on. As with everything Disney, this one's got some charm despite being a 2 minute episode series. If Disney decided they wanted to make inroads into moe-lovers in Japan, they certainly won me over with Drossel's twintails, since I'm a sucker for twintails.

Here's a little exercise in thought: What if you did watch an anime show that actually had decent dubs?

I didn't expect my last blog post to be embraced with such a warm response, and I would like to thank Tadano Suki, Nakano Azusa, Katherine Williams, Tuna, Kimura Reiko, Tiara, Suna, Sylvia, Kate, Rita and Sancta for posting all those constructive comments from the same IP address.

I'd like to say that I really enjoyed the event, and the cosplayers were a lot of fun too. I'm not sure why the spammer got so hot and bothered about what I said about the cosplayers because its true, but I'll let it say what it must to get over it. For those of you who were awesome, kudos. To those of you who failed, just try harder and earn a place of praise in my future posts.

And to the one I bought posters from, you're awesome ;). See you at Armaggeddon.
