K-ON! Fandom

K-ON! is all the rage now in the otaku world for those that watches the anime. And in Japan, there’s nothing that an otaku fan can’t do. As the anime nears its midpoint airing, fans have already been able to identify an amzing amount of real life places that were used in the animation.

The following are the results of the fandom. You can click on the photos to view the full size.

Otaku fandom strikes again! This time round, we have a Macross Cafe special. In conjunction with the upcoming SDF-1 Macross Launching Ceremony event in Akihabara UDX on 22nd February 2009, organizers are collaborating with Cure Maid Cafe for a limited period Macross themed Cafe @ Cure Maid Cafe!

ISML Prelim Nominees

International Saimoe League 2009 today release the confirmation of the 48 nominees for the preliminary rounds after weeks of nominations. Quite a number of nominees were from newer animes released in 2008. But there were still quite a few notable absentees from the list for me though.

Kannagi Fandom: Take 2

This is another Kannagi fandom post, continuation of my original post previously. Not. Anyway, this time round, Seiya of Heisei Democracy takes us to the actual origins of the Meido Cafe  seen in Episode 6 of the Kannagi anime, where Nagi-sama and Tsugumi worked at the cafe as cosplaying waitress to earn their keeps. The real-life cafe though is known as Cafe Mai:lish.

For staters, here’s a comparision of the exterior look of the cafes:

 

International Saimoe League 2009

I was browsing through the internet when I came across this tournament – International Saimoe League 2009. It certainly seems to me to be the international representation of the Japanese Saimoe tournament. The only other such tournaments that I know of is the Korean version. For those unsure, these are all tournaments to identify the most moe (and in my opinion – most popular) female anime characters.

Kotobukiya Figure wishlist!

When I was writing my figure wishlist for 2009, I was actually thinking if it was ever possible for figure makers to seek fans’ opinion on the figures they want to be made of. Well, Kotobukiya made that come true by offering to grant us our wishes!

Kannagi fandom

I was browsing through Moeyo’s blog and one of his post caught my attention. I saw something that tickles my fancy. I saw Nagi-sama…

What the … ?!

This is an interesting post from the Hobby Stock blog. What do you think the following is used for?

Miku as … Nagi?

Just saw an interesting video on Youtube of Miku in an exact rendition of Kannagi anime’s opening theme.
