I was lucky enough to hit for the Countdown this year, whoo! Since not a lot of people get to go in person, and they do cut parts out of broadcast, I thought I'd share my experience here.

I bought a special second class ticket from Mikurajima to Hachijojima since the journey wasn't as long. It was around 2000yen which is pretty reasonable for a 1-1.5h ride. The second class area still has around 8 spots but it isn't a separate room so lights are central. I'm not really sure how the configuration was originally, but I assume only ( Read more... )

Thanks to willeke4439, I noticed these beautiful islands in the Izu peninsula and planned a side trip. Since I'm a huge animal lover, I decided to go to Mikurajima for the 100 wild dolphins that live around the island and then Hachijojima for the onsen (and the plane that flies you back to Tokyo in 1h vs 8h boat ride ( Read more... )

Finally found some time to write posts (haha standing in line at USJ)! I'll start with this event before I forget too much of what was said! There'll be a DVD release anyway but I'm glad Corda is still being pushed by Koei so much ( Read more... )

December 17th was my event day and I managed to get tics to the Saiyuki afternoon talk show and the EnSta concert at night thanks to willeke4439The Saiyuki talk started at 2:30 and there were already a bunch of girls lined up to get into Belle Salle Shinjuku by the time I got there. Managed to get some merch before the show (uchiwa for Goku and Tenpou) but ( Read more... )

Anime Revolution this year was another fun-filled, wallet-sucking weekend of autographs, merchandise and panels! I cosplayed all three days, but I'd say maybe 40-50% of attendees were in costume... maybe 50% of those were anime-related? There wasn't anything that blew my mind except maybe Yugene Fay. Honorable mentions to this cute kid who dressed ( Read more... )

My first time seeing Takizawa Kabuki (and Takki, for that matter), live! I went to the night show on the 22nd at Marina Bay Sands. Unfortunately, I was a cheap idiot and bought seats on the third floor so I won't be naming any names except Takki and minion A Kawai and minion B Kitayama who is one of my favorite Johnnys and I didn't realize it was ( Read more... )

PROS:
- Holy moly, the Artists' Alley is Candyland! If you like walking through rows and rows of delicious beautiful posters and buttons, you would've loved what this year had to offer. Breath-taking Madoka, gorgeous Natsume, action-packed Kyojin, Kirito-Asuna love and the occasional Pokemon and FMA six-pack Free! - Dealer's Hall was pretty nice ( Read more... )
