Just another short update... xD

ACGC was ok. Not a big-scale event like GACC or CF... ONly managed to go yesterday. I didn't expect much and not many cosplayers too (but I think today will be more since there's a cosplay competition)... And I remember clearly dat a photographer was grumbling loudly at the hall entrance about "where are all the cosplayers???"

I didn't cosplay in the event. Just went around meeting some ACG friends and such... Quite disappointed with the games they trying to broadcast here. Most of the games are in Chinese! Poor us bananas and non-chinese who cant even read them or worst, understand a single word!

Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS was the main attraction there. But the main theme was Wii Fit... Boring games but it helps you keep in shape though...

Sad to say that I almost went home empty-handed if it's not for anime-tech. Bought Evangelion 1.01(finaly got to spell and pronouce it correctly!) and watched it this morning. Not a bad show... Graphics was really nice. I love the battles the most. It seems like its a tradition to have a full/half/full-but-misty naked scenes in ACG these days. But compared to yaoi... I guess those are pretty mild... xD

The story's about a guy being forced (but later accept it) to pilot a mecha (or some people prefer to call it gundam) to defend humanity from extinction as 8 Angels (yes, angels tha kills but the anges are not human like though...) came and destroy the only city that still standing.

Sounds pretty familiar? Sounds like Soukyuu no Fafner (all monters attacking one place only, only the young teenagers can pilot the mecha, uses nervous system and the brain signal to control the mecha, and the pilots are to be submerged into a cockpit filled with (red?) liquid to ensure oxygen gets into his/her bloodstream faster)...

But Evangelion is already existed in 1994. It's normal to see animes with familiar plots especially mecha and shoujo animes Mecha mostly about humanity while shoujo about romance and those lolis with their high-pitch screamings around (sorry to say that I'm not an avid shoujo fan here)... But of course, with continuations, the show always left the viewers ponders on whats going on next.

Too much discrimination spoils the joy of watching/reading anime/manga. Just read according to the flow. Expecting too much brings the grade down. Different people have different taste. You be the judge...

Rating? 4.0 out of 5


I'm pretty stupid to actually accidentally delete my whole file of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki series. But this is when a friend comes to the rescue. Tsubi/Shie Yunn burn the show to me! Thank you so much! *muacks*

This show was pretty light-heartening. (I'm more towards funny+gags stuff or pretty serious plots)

I'll skip the summary... If you're pretty interested, go animenewsnetwork for more info!... ^.^ I dont recommand wiki as they contains too much spoilers.. ><;
