Year-ender post!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Hi everyone! I’m so sorry for those who have been checking back for new posts (if there were any) as I’ve been a bit busy watching Meitantei Conan and sometimes just plain lazy to try and update TanTango! I’m so behind with what I’ve wanted to post! Also… I’m also in the middle of paving the road out of NEET-dom. ><;; which is why I’m less active on the internet — hopefully, that will change once I’ve set my daily schedule straight… and if I get my hands on a netbook… hopefully soon.

A Trip down Memory Lane

sailormoon_large

Yeah. Title is much of a cliché but I couldn’t think of a more fitting title to this entry that I’m conjuring up. This is actually amusing for me since the idea for me to make up this entry was prompted by the blog that’s currently abuzz in the English animu blogosphere, yep, the Otaku Elimination Game a.k.a. OEG.

You might wonder why I’m actually posting this, and mentioning them, since I’m not in their hit list (or at least, not yet, though I rather doubt it) — I guess this is a little response of mine to what they are stirring up as of now. In all honestly, I am but a wee lurker in that blog, initially because I thought of them as random trolls and haters that had nothing better to do but to troll and hate — even included some of the more popular people around the “Otaku” blogosphere — to stir up something. But, now, I think of them a bit differently since they actually have a point — though I still think they lack credibility, thanks to their anonymity — the fact remains that they do raise an interesting and valid point, that being an otaku, involves burning passion for something and not just a passing obsession. I am also amused by the fact that they actually state that it is not measured by the x number of merchandise that you buy everyday, week or month — and most likely, it is not relevant to how much you spend either.

So, where am I going with this? This is not a challenge if that’s what you’re thinking. I highly predict that they shall judge me — or if not, just leave a sentence about TanTango in their next post that: “Tangerine Tango is just like Neko’s Thinkbox — in orange” — or something to that effect. Like the title says, this post is my trip down memory lane. Fair warning this is going to be TL;DR, but if you’re interested enough go ahead and proceed.

Gachapon wishlist? :3

I was looking at Bandai’s Gashapon site and got lost in looking into it because there were so many gashapons that I would want to see in person (and maybe own? LOL). A lot of these have been released quite some time ago though, so I doubt I’ll be able to get them… still, these gachapons are cute! :3 Below is a list of what I want but haven’t found in that hall of gachapons I blogged a while back XD

Priestess Nagi

priestess_nagi

So, after seeing RadiantDreamer’s awesome Halloween Moka project, I decided to try my hand at making figure photoshop projects too — although I can say that I phail miserably. Free virtual cookie to those who can spot fatal mistake #1, 2 and probably  fatal mistake x?

Well, actually, it’s a form of procrastination. I have been commissioned by a friend to create catalogs for contact lenses using flash. Although I’m still downloading flash because my installer is nowhere to be found… OTL I’ve been trying to put contacts lenses on eyes in photoshop — and it’s not as simple as I thought it would be. One can only stare at an EYE that doesn’t blink for so long. ><;

So, enough rambling. I shall try to update in a bit… and I still need to post Kimi ni Todoke posts!

Oh, and… comments about the photo are greatly appreciated!

Today’s Lucky Loot! :3

CLAMP no Kiseki with SYAORAN GET! :3

I think it’s probably a lucky loot day for me… I spotted something I like by chance, and they’re not really common here at all — seeing them with some cash on hand made me buy it immediately!

figma Saber (Fate Extra ver.): To get or not to get?

saber_extra

So, the Fate/Stay Night series has another game that’s coming out called Fate Extra, with Saber in another getup — and I guess with the huge success gathered by Saber Lily from Fate/Unlimited Codes, they decided to make another exclusive figma to come with the game. Danny Choo just posted the photos of the limited edition Saber Extra (that sounds wrong) a bit earlier. As much as I love Saber, I can’t really say the same for this figure.

Doraemon cosplaying!

I stumbled into a random facebook page where it had a load of awesome Doraemon fanart — where Doraemon cosplays as different popular characters. I went to look for the site and lo and behold: I found it! I’ll share to you some of my favorites!
