Extra Merchandise of Another Fate

After a full Moon since the release of Fate/Extra CCC, I’ve finally completed and obtained Tama-chan’s Servant Ending! www

Fate_Extra_CCC_Merchandise

While preparing to start the game anew with New Game + using another Servant (I’ve decided on Aka Saber! www), I’ve unwittingly knowingly scoured the vast space known as the internet and found several related merchandise now in pre-order stage.

After a series of delays, as well as the chou mukatsuku late delivery by the Postal Dude, I’ve finally acquired the long-awaited Type-Moon’s PSP JRPG, Fate/Extra CCC

Opening the Shaft of an Extra Fate

Finally, the said OP has been revealed today to the public by the official!

Culture Japan Noon

When Danny-san announced the news some weeks earlier, it was an incredible surprise to all of us Islanders that he’s going to hold a CJN on our island!

To be held in the St. Joseph’s Novitiate at the Gurney Paragon, Penang, the gathering will begin at a rather odd hour: 1300 – 1800 on a Saturday (Thus Culture Japan Noon instead of Culture Japan Night… XDc)… 0_0

For the uninitiated, St. Jo’s is a heritage building made anew via reconstruction, and is now a hub for community events with rotsa restaurants surrounding it…

The Art of an Extra Fate

With only a season until the eventual release of one of the most anticipated Type-Moon JRPG Fate/Extra CCC, the official site finally updated with the box art design of the game itself.

An Invitation to The Teens

Last weekend spanning across both days, a graduation exhibition for a local design studio was held within an abandoned local shopping mall in conjunction with the Lost Gospel Cosplay Club…

During the event entitled “The Teens”, a cosplay competition and many ACG shinanigans will be held… ^_^

As a guest exhibitor, I was invited to be part of the event by none other than my own pal for many years, Donny Choo-san!

To my surprise, he is part of the LGCC and a cosplayer in the event too! 0_0

The Shafted of an Extra Fate

It’s been some time since any news about Fate/Extra CCC, well at least until earlier today… XD

Moe ka na…?

Ever since the acquisition of the Moekana learning cards twin packs from AFAMY12 two moons ago, I’ve been pondering of a way to integrate them into my usual figure 4koma shenanigans…

Thus the rise of another 4koma sub series of Osaka! XDc

While pronounced as Moekana, the title of this new series is actually “Moe ka na…?”, meaning “Is (Was) it Moe (Cute)? :3c

A blend between my usual randomness with the Moekana learning cards, Moe ka na…? will expand the standard example given by the cards with lingo used by the Otaku culture, further improve the fun of learning new Hiragana especially to the comrades and fans of Japanese anime and manga.

Pole Position

Hatsune Miku has enjoyed much popularity over the years ever since her début as a virtual idol, taking up many positions such as being an official  race queen for Good Smile Racing for the past few years.

While GSR has offered the public a chance to sponsor their favourite virtual idol in the GT races, it was only available to the Japanese for the past yesteryear.

Sponsors are usually given an assortment of limited Racing Miku merchandise for the year, especially the much sought after Figma and Nendoroid versions of the Racing Miku besides the usual straps, stickers, personal sponsorship cards and other stuffs…

Spotted at Good Smile Company’s booth during AFAMY12, Racing Miku version 2012′s elegant futuristic design caught my eyes, grabbing my heart with her almost impish grin… And I told myself this: I definitely must get a Figma version of her!

The Bride of an Extra Fate

After a lengthy video preview some time earlier, as well as a guest appearance during Summer WonFes held a fortnight ago, Saber (Version CCC) managed to find her way to the bosom of a certain Mikatan, much the delight of Saberphiles out there… XD

Even Mikatan herself stated that she couldn’t wait to play the PSP game, soon to be released early next year…

Them Booty of AFAMY12

A couple of weeks have passed since AFAMY12, I have yet to categorise my acquisitions from then due to so many happening in the period: Post AFA Syndrome aka minor fever x failure to readjust, slight depression, end of vacation leaves, social problems at work, laziness, etc. just to name a few…

Finally put aside all those 3rd world problems and gathered enough strength to properly unveil my loots (Still prefer the term acquisitions but otaku comrades have exclusively “trademarked” the term all around the globe referring to their purchases… ^^;)…

Now would you look at them booty, yohoho arrrrr matey! XDc

The Day After AFAMY12

Set on the last floor just across the Tokyo Street district of Pavilion, Danny-san organised the Culture:Japan Night after the end of AFAMY12

The Japanese Restaurant just in front of the venue, Tonkatsu, provided us with bottomless green tea beverages and a timed sushi buffet or sort during the course of the night…
