Probably the longest post I have ever written. We observe the more money oriented side of the anime industry. Heaven or Hell? You decide.

Improv Painting, Unexpected Purchase

by radiantdreamer March 05, 2010 in Anime Figures, How To Draw Anime & Photoshop 38 comments tags: faerie, goodsmile, K-ON!, nendoroid, photoshop, ritsu, ruka, vocaloid
An unexpected purchase last Friday – I went to Aberdeen Center and saw Ruka for sale at one of the figure shops. Many bootleg nendoroids around, but I could tell this one was authentic. My Ritsu arrived in the mail on the same day too. Two more to go, and my K-On! collection will be complete. I’ve got a special photoshop idea in mind once that happens. A new painting that I did. Only took about 5 or 6 hours, this one. It’s sorta “improv” painting. No reference photos or anything, and just paint whatever comes at the moment. It’s a wallpaper, so click on it if you want to see the full size. Here’s a youtube video of it too! Do you recognize the songs? [pro-player]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYqsZh2nljk[/pro-player] Still on switched gear, so see you all again next time! Stay tuned!

My Current Collection – January

I’m sure most of you have come up against the problem of owning too many anime figures, that you’re running out of room. My own personal solution is to rotate them, and keep some of them in storage. This keeps things fresh. You may recall a previous post on my collection, so let’s see how things have changed since then.

Anime Festival Asia ’09- My Turn to AFA

by radiantdreamer November 25, 2009 in Anime & Video Games, Things I Find Interesting 45 comments tags: afa 09, alodia, anime festival asia, anisong, bandung, black rock shooter, bleach, convention, cosplay, danny choo, domo-kun, eneloop, evangelion, figma, goodsmile, Gundam, gwendolyn, K-ON!, kingdom hearts, kodomut, macross frontier, miku, mirai, moe moe kyun, naruto, oblivion island, production i.g., rozen maiden, Sgt. Keroro, shwarz, singapore, space channel 5, suntec, trigun, ulala, valkyria chronicles, wacom, xenoglossia
My very first anime convention, and it was the incredibly awesome Anime Festival Asia in Singapore. While many people chose to focus on the merchandise, I decided to focus on the participants of the con – the cosplayers. SIXTY crazy photos ahead! With Singapore being the next most proliferate anime hub, the cosplayers have quite the reputation to hold up, and it doesn’t disappoint.

My Wife Watches Anime Based on Eroge, Yuri, and Otaku-ism.

by radiantdreamer May 29, 2009 in Anime & Video Games 93 comments tags: anime, Ayu, azumanga daioh, braggin rights, card captor sakura, Chii, chiyo-chan, chobits, eroge, haruhi, Hazumu, Honey and Clover, K-ON!, Kannagi, kanon, kashimashi, konata, love hina, lucky star, Manabi Straight, Mikan, Nagi, naru, nodame cantabile, otaku, rizelmine, sakura, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, suzumiya haruhi, Taiga, tora dora, tsundere, yuri
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? You want your significant other to enjoy anime with you too? I might not have the answer specifically for you, but my story may provide you with some insight. (note this only covers anime series, and not OVAs or movies)
