World War theme – Top 7 – Special edition type. After being asked if there any such Anime based or told during World War 2 I thought I’d up an article with such Anime. If you know of any other World War related Animes that I haven’t seen then feel free to mention them as I’ll only list ones I have watched.

Obtained Figma Saber Alter at my local Anime Stop today. Also went to my local Kiko Sushi Bar to eat out as I also planned out a figure photoshoot there in advance. Chopstick Kohiru joined me in some amusing photo-shootings as she attracted lots of attention. I hope you guys/gals don’t mind if I merge the review and Kohiru’s articles into one. Didn’t want to spam my own blog.

Another Shinki? Yes, another Shinki. This time I obtained Shinki Kohiru due to her high level of almost chibi (shrunk + deformed) like cuteness and because she would make for a great snacking partner due to her Chopstick affiliation. She also came with a “free” parts storage container.

To give Benio’s her deserved respect here is an article for her ^^.
After acquiring Benios, she wanted to explore the vast and foreign area around her. With Benio being my first ever Shinki I thought I’d also assist with showing off how she articulates and the like in an outdoor setting. Feel free to consider this as a part of a review if you want.
Enjoy the photo-shoot!

I went to Montreal’s Otakuthon which is hosted in Canada, Montreal - Palais des congres de Montreal. The event runs from the 13th till the 15th of August. I went on Saturday, August the 14th, 2010 to experience my first Anime convention and I believe it was well worth the trip taken.

Busou Shinki – Benio. I acquired her from my local AnimeStop for $38 CAD ($44 with taxes). Poor Benio was stuck on the store shelves for many moons/months without an owner to pick her up. I saw her many times during the winter when I still wasn’t interested in them. I’ve finally picked her up during the same year, and before Shinki Renge.

With the amount of royal treatment that Saber Lily and Extra have been given, they both finally gained cabin fever. Lily being stuck for a year or two while Extra for a few weeks, who’d blame them?
Also, it appears the whole city of Ottawa is under-construction as everything is all dug up everywhere.

Thought I’d try something new with my camera. Might not be new to other serious photographers, but its new to me as I only used it once before during Winterlude 2010. I’m talking about using burst mode in an active location with your camera, then animating it into an animated .gif. I hope you find it to your liking. Oh, and since I added 13 gifs you may experience an internet slow down, or browser lag, depending on your computer set up. I apologize for that.
I also had Saber and Optimistic Penguin‘s blog mascot join me on the experiment as well.

Hello again!
Thought I’d up a game article this time featuring Shinki-Net. I had too many Figma photoshoots going on and need some variety.
Shinki-net is an online game featuring miniature scale robot figures fighting 1 vs 1 with other highly customizable robotic figures. These figures (digitally and actual 1:1 scale) are mainly female and can be customized into any type of unique character. It’s up to you how you want to treat your Shinki, and how you want them to fight.

Christmasu Saber has arrived! Christmasu Saber? Guys/gals remember the Fate/Stay Night visual novel or Anime series? Fate/Extra adds another story line to that, probably similar to Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Fate/Extra is supposed to be a J-RPG for the PSP that allows you to be a Master which would allow you to control a Servant.
Also would like to apologize for the image quality as I had to fight with overcast lighting.

Thought I’d post an article about my Figma’s new flag collection. Nothing special, just that I wanted flags for my Figmas and so I could have them hold it in future Anime conventions or whatever. I’ve been searching for Canadian flag ones but couldn’t find one around me so I decided to craft my own. They look simple enough to make.

For those that missed round one may want to check it out before continuing onto round 2! Round one may be found here – My Favorite Anime – Top 7. Those within round one are my absolute favorite (as of May 26, 2010 and with some from before 2006 or 2003) that support the reason why I watch Anime in the first place. And by user request, here is round 2! Why 7? Youtube embed limit for trailers/OP’s.
