I didn't tell anyone. Only a select few knew that I had left for Singapore, and only those in Singapore knew to expect me. My adventure begins, anew, starting with AFA X.
Neogaf suddenly popped up with a Gameboy Micro <3 thread, so I decided to join in. I know that I said I wouldn’t be doing any review photos during my temporary gear shift, but I couldn’t help myself with this. There was so much Micro love going around on that thread; people were buying them because of the thread. Plus it’s my blog, so I can do whatever. muahaha.
How? Some of you may remember my article “Are you a Hentai-Otaku?!” of heated debate. This article is no different. So my wife watches anime based on eroge. She’s also fine with yuri, and she quite enjoyed a series full of otaku-trivia. Before all that, she was never interested in anime, and never really appreciated the art style. So how did it happen?

Vote for your favorite moe! International Saimoe League 2009! Moe (?? ?, /mo.e/, pronounced “mo-eh” literally “budding”, as with a plant) is a Japanese slang word originally referring to fetish or love for characters in video games or anime and manga.

Both the spellings moe and moé are used in English.[3] Some writers add an accent mark in an attempt to indicate that […]
This isn’t the first time I’ve ever done fan-art. Everytime I do though, I try to represent the character in a different light, to show some variety and for people to think “what if…”. It certainly brings a bit of flavor to the picture. I decided to draw Mikuru Asahina. Mikuru is always getting abused and molested by Haruhi. She’s also completely, and ridiculously moe.
