bayonetta_tokyo_3

sure…it look’s like it’s about to be the obligatory bayonetta post…HA! had you fooled (kotaku already has this shit covered anyway)

so…now that i have your attention, whats new?

Has been a while since i entered the Blogosphere, i would love to return and give you post’s about appealing things that appeal to me. So let’s make this post the official post of officialdom…ness.  I am returning with my take on news, current events and animu related issues…HOPEFULLY!

Before i begin i would like to make it very clear that this post is riddled with spoilers

2mdf34n

Based on the picture above i predict that…

…in the process of claiming Ciel’s soul, Sebastian must transfer his conscious into Ciel’s body, therefore living as Sebastian Michaelis in the body of Ciel Phantomhive.  After this happens i believe the story can move in two different directions.  Ciel[Sebastian] will either go back to London or another part of the world.  If Ciel[Sebastian] moves to another part of the world he will serve a new master and the story will be about that.  If Ciel[Sebastian] goes to London he will serve under the royal family and the story will be about the rebuilding of London and so forth as well as the corrupt undertones of the church of England.  The main reason i came to this conclusion was due to the infamous quote “im one hell of a butler…” .  As well as how Sebastian repeatedly told Ciel that he would be there to the very end, until he heard checkmate(PLUS…a dead Sebby is just oh-so-sad).  Sebastian also raised Ciel, keeping him fit and healthy, possibly in preparation of taking his body for his own?  I also predict that this season will delve more into the past of Sebastian, as well as flashbacks of the previous Master’s he had served….

Now this is merely speculation, my imagination was running wild so i decided to post it.  As i have said before this is merely speculation, just a fan giving his 2 cents…

(translation of the poster)

Title: The Shape of the Future

Below the Title:
A shocking finale. But, what if, [the story] headed towards this conclusion…. Before the sequel [airs], what kind of future do you predict?

Sebastian’s “Last Scene” Box:
Sebastian Michaelis
As a perfect butler, he is absolutely obedient to Ciel’s orders. His goal, as demon, is to obtain Ciel’s soul. Having won the battle with the angel Ash, will that desire be fulfilled?

After urging [Ciel] to absolutely not not open his eyes until the count of 10, Sebastian returned to his repulsive true form. Ash’s repeated cries of “unclean!” were quite shocking.

At the very end, Sebastian continued to be a one hell of a butler. As the time of Ciel’s death drew near that was something that remained unchanged.

Through his fading consciousness, the last thing Ciel lays eyes on, is the black-tea colored eyes of Sebastian who is approaching while smiling suspiciously…

Ciel’s “Last Scene” Box:

Ciel Phantomhive
A loyal servant of the Queen of Great Britain. The young head of the Phantomhive house called the Queen’s Watchdog, and the master of a contract with the demon Sebastian. In front of the eternally resting Sebastian, what will he feel, what will he grieve?

As he promised Sebastian, Ciel absolutely didn’t open his eyes. As he drown in the depths of the deep River Thames, what [images] were floating beneath his eyelids?

As if traveling towards death, nostalgic days were reflected on the water’s surface. Surrounding Ciel at one time, were servant who wouldn’t be quiet even if you asked, and also a warm family.

Sebastian softly runs his hands over the eyepatch of Ciel, who’s accepted [what's about to happen]. Since the way he touches him seems somehow meaningful, there were probably alot of very excited people.

The Blurb Below That:

Thanks to everyone, a second season has been greenlit! For all of your warm support, thank you very much. What it’s contents will be, that’s still a secret but, we’re working hard not to betray your expectations, so please look forward to it! (Producer Iwata Mikihiro)

and my personal favorite…

well, this isnt really anime or figure related but recently i took a road trip to Las Vegas

tileprint.php

I live in San Francisco, California and Vegas is in Nevada.  Its about a 12 hour drive but we drove really really really fast so we got there in about 8.  We left Thursday July 9th at around 2am and we returned Sunday July 12th at around 10pm.  I had A LOT of fun and i took A LOT of pictures

twas fun, we also got pulled over by a nasty cop

have any of you readers ever been to las vegas?

Well it has been a while since i have made an entry but this past memorial day weekend i went to FanimeCon (The con i mentioned a few months back) Twas Fun, lots of MOE cosplay, lots of EEEEW cosplay, so here is a gallery

also made out with lots of nice loot from the dealers hall

ordered her a while back but the order was cancelled, glad i found one here…however the prong on her helmet fell off as soon as i opened it @_@, oh well…nothing super glue cant fix :)

Have been procrastinating for a while on getting a Scaled Louise Figure, so this was my first one.  A very nice figure but i did break her wand when i opened it (CURSES!!!, its not that bad though)

ANDDD Limit Gunz just cause shes so f’ing amazing!!!!

This one was quite an impulse buy, but i had to have it because i love Nagi-sama so!!!(got her from the Toyslogic booth)

Then i saw Zange, she was only $40 USD so i had to get her!!!

(NOW I HAVE TO GET TSUGUMI!!! URGGHHH)

I also picked up LaLa from ToysLogic as Well, been meaning to get her for a while now, PLUSSS the figure was discounted because the box was damaged

Seeing as how i would have a lovely Kureha Nendo awaiting me when i returned home, i thought i should get a Lovely Kureha PVC figure ^_^

last but not least is the Beautiful Gothic Punk Louise figure, wanted her when i first saw her pre-orders open but then forgot about her >_>, Lucky enough ToysLogic had her so i had to buy!!!

i also came home to 3 beautiful nendoroids at my doorstep; Kureha, Nagi and Kagamin Coplayed as Miku (what an appropriate time to cosplay kagamine!!! ^_^)

Twas a great weekend filled with good anime, good figures, good cosplay, and GREAT friends…EXCEPT for the part when we went to Johnny Rockets and the stupid Bleach cosplayers ate all of our goddamn food, and the part when i was trying to order pizza for two hours only to find out they had closed 3 hours earlier!!!

other than that i had an amazing time at famine09 and i cant wait to go back next year ^_^

doin some tsuki-boardin before school and i find this: http://akibahobby.net/2009/03/taf2009_gsc_worldismine.html

UPDATE

Looks like shes slated for a september release…^_^, @_@, what a wait!!(more pics at the akiba hobby link at the top)

Oh well, it definitely is worth it, then again GSC delays A LOT of things, so lets just say you can expect her to bless your figure collection sometime in October or November

I must say she does kinda look like a kit, Black ★ Rock Shooter had some kit-esque qualities when i first laid eyes on her as well

So my question to you folks is…

This May, Itsjustsaul and Fama226 will be hitting FanimeCon 09

We will be having live news feed (not nesscarily live…but)

Reporting on the Cosplay (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly), The superb artists…ANDDDDD the excellent Dealers hall. (really looking forward to snaging up some good figures this year!)

FanimeCon 09 will take place in Downtown San Jose Memorial Day weekend in North California.  It is the largest anime convention in Northern California.

Here’s the website: http://www.fanime.com/index.html

If you’re in Nor Cal and interested in going ^^^

Can you say wantwantwantwantwantwant?!?!?!

i can…

ill count the days until GSC announces her @.@

For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past 9000 years this is Hatsune Miku and she has become quite an iconic figure in such a short amount of time.

She is from Vocaloid, a singing synthesizer application published by Yamaha Corp.  She has vids littered all over NicoNicoGouga and Youtube.  There are also tons of figures of her as well:

Alas…As popular as she is, she has had a Figma made of her /sigh/

As you can see she’s quite popular. There’s also the twins, who have also become quite popular as well…

Here are some of my favorite Hatsune Miku Videos from youtube.

Love is war:

The world is Mine:

Black Rock Shooter:

The last video isn’t actually a video of Miku…

Its a video of an original character named Black ★ Rock Shooter drawn by the artist Ryo.  Hatsune Miku merely sings the song.  Although i must admit, their resemblances are uncanny.

Good Smile Company has since announced pre-orders for a sweet lookin Black ★ Rock Shooter 1/8 scale PVC Figure which is definitely on my get list.

Release date: 2009/08

Price: 9,800¥

now that you have seen the terrible poster…

and you have seen the terrible trailer…

Now you shall hear my not-so-terrible review.

The Legend of Chun-li is based on the pixelated fight simulator known as Street Fighter.  In the movie Chun-li is played by Smallville Actress Kristen Kreukdjsifmnjsm(she looks nothing like chun-li).  She is a young chinese girl who is taught martial arts by her papa, papa works for M.Bison(the actor looks nothing like M. Bison).  Bison sends Balrog(the actor looks SOMEWHAT like balrog) to fetch chun-li’s papa to “do stuff” for him.  Chun-li grows up and goes totally batshit over her lost father and decides to go hunt her some Bison. She goes to train under Lui-kangGen(whatever) so he can teach her how to do this:

Overall this movie totally sucked…i DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ADVISE YOU TO SEE THIS MOVIE.  That one guy from the black eyed peas was in it:

Alas…this was no redeeming factor; except for the part where Chun-li beat us this Chick after she tried to sex her up:

Score: 100 (All movies i see start with a 100 and get deducted from there)

Complete and utter phailure: -100

Somewhat good fight scenes: +10

Casting Director: -50

Funny Lesbian lady trying to sex chun-li up:+45

Overall Score: 5 (yea i know…it was that bad)
