Yes folks, I iz in AKL infiltratingz ur armegedonz. Armaggeddon Auckland was quite a bit bigger than Armaggeddon Christchurch, but contrary to my expectations, apparent anime fandom is not directly proportional to the size of the event. Here's my scoop on this event that I was actually heavily anticipating.

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.

Rin found something, and after a bit of struggling she finally managed to cut open the cellotape and pull open the cover flaps. I wonder whats inside... Let's follow Rin in and find out...

So I came home today tired and messed up from work and I find Haruhi on the floor with her megaphone making everyone slaves again. I was wondering at the time: WTF is she up to now? She better have not forced Mikuru's clothes off her or something, because its going to be real expensive to get a replacement.

I finally decided to open another 2 figmas, namely Kagamine Rin and Len. These two are the mascots of the new pair of voices released after Hatsune Miku for Vocaloid 2, and I must say Max Factory has done a good job in making these two figmas quite loveable indeed (even though one's a boy).

A friend of mine recently got me a Kagamine Rin nendroid by Good Smile Company. And it was the awesomest present ever. Here's some pics of me opening up the box to reveal the awesome blonde on the inside. For those of you who do not know who Rin is, she is one of the mascot characters of a computerized singing program known as Vocaloid 2, and is one of the twins Kagamine Rin and Len. Together they both form the second package of voices for Vocaloid 2. The first one being Hatsune Miku.
