Unboxing Caster Fate/Extra CCC SEGA Prize

"I need to carefully stretch her leg a little to put it inside the hole"

Hello guys!
It's been a while (months!) since my last post. I'm so very sorry for that. Laziness kicked in, got new plaything (3DS), tons of anime to watch; between all that, squeezing in writing a blog post is really though.

Not so long ago I read an article about procrastination and how to handle it. I somewhat decided to follow it's suggestion for this blog. I'll make a promise here up front, "I'll post at least 1 new blog post each week." There. This means that every week there will be at least 1 new post in this blog, whether you like it or not. I do hope I could post more than 1 post a week though.

Anyway, not so long ago I got my Caster SEGA Prize Figure. When I wanted to open it, I thought, "Well, I've never did any unboxing post before. That could be a nice thing for my blog." So here it is! I decided to take pictures and documented my unboxing of this very cute figure.

A little introduction of the character seems like a good place to start. I'll try my best to avoid spoiler. Caster is a heroic spirit summoned to 'caster' class in a fake-or-something (can't remember and can't be bothered to google it) Holy Grail War. The event is told in a PSP game called Fate/Extra. The game also have special edition called 'Fate/Extra CCC' which also in PSP. As you can see from the name, the game is one of the ever-growing Fate series. Caster's outfit in this figure is the alternate outfit (iirc) in the Fate/Extra CCC.

It's annoying how all the people in my facebook commenting ONLY on her melons.

The photos are taken with my 5MP phone camera (I don't have a camera :( ), which is a Lenovo S560. Please pardon the quality orz. Some of the photo have been digitally processed to present it as accurate OR as pretty as possible.

Why Twitch Plays Pokemon Crystal Had Huge Drops in Viewers Number?

TPP start as a niche entertainment....

Even though the title ends with a question mark, I'm not asking question here.
But, before we start, let me give brief introduction on Twitch Plays Pokemon (from here on will be written as TPP).

Twitch is an online service to stream game related video live so people can watch it. In the middle of February 2014, a streamer from Australia started a stream unlike any ordinary stream. This stream played Pokemon Red via emulator on PC and have a unique twist. It's controlled by the viewer. The game is played by typing the buttons on the chat system (ie. 'up', 'a', 'start' etc.). This is basically a lot of people playing 1 Pokemon game in one gameboy at the same time. Imagine the chaos when thousands of people suddenly interested in this thing! Yup, the chaos was really chaotic. Red, the Player Character, were walking in circle, checking pokedex again and again, searching through his bag repeatedly, all because he was controlled by thousands of player. In addition to that, each input had a 20 seconds delay by design. It was so chaotic that Red looks like played by an incompetent toddler playing with his gameboy upside down to the point the streamer added a new mode called Democracy where the game will choose most inputted input instead of pick all the input (this called as Anarchy Mode). But, amazingly enough, the people, called Hive Minds, able to do it quite well, albeit the long time they needed to do a lot of stuff. The game swayed between Anarchy and Democracy according to the command inputted. Most people agree Anarchy is better but Democracy is needed on task that need high level of precision. Many gaming websites posted articles about TPP and gave it amazing coverage. Supported by amazing fan arts and fan created lores and memes, the viewers were a whooping 90k at one point! It had a stable viewers number until Red get into the Hall of Fame and roll the credits on March 1st, 2014.

This is what TPP looks like. This was taken earlier today when we beat Lance of the Elite Four in Pokemon Crystal.

That's some brief explanation. What I want to talk here is about the declining number of viewers lately from around 100k at it's peak to 'just' 10k by the time I write this. Please note that 10k is still a HUGE number of viewers. But still, the number of viewers drops so significantly that a lot of people are saying 'TPP is dead', 'This stream is dying', etc. What probably the cause? What happened that makes a lot of viewers leave the stream?

My theory is this. It's not 'WTF?! We have only 10k viewers!!' but in reality it was 'WTF?! We got 100k viewers!!'. Did you said 'huh?!' ? What I want to say is that the anomaly is not we have only 10k viewers, but it is really weird (and awesome) that we have 100k viewers.

Mikakunin, Hiatus, and Stuff

Hi, all!! It's been a while since my last post. Well, to be frank, I just want to give a kind of gap between the last post about Bima and new post that not related to fansub at all.

In any case, now this blog is back for personal use again! DBX-Sub will be using a different blog for our release, if we have something that is....

So!!
Last season anime was quite a blast. I enjoyed a lot of them. Noucome, Log Horizon, Samurai Flamenco, Strike The Blood, Golden Time, and of course, Miss Monochrome. I did try several other titles, but just didn't manage to keep up with the schedule. Thanks partly to my 2 weeks trip to Japan last December (more on that on another post).

As for this season, I'm already have my eyes on the second season of Seitokai Yakuindomo, Pupa, and Mikakunin de Shinkoukei. I obviously will look into other titles, but for now I need to get rid of my mountainous backlogs.

Right now, I want to talk about this Mikakunin stuff.

Basically, that one video sold me the show. When I saw that video, I was adamant to watch it.

And so after watching 3 eps back-to-back, I'm surprised at how adorable Mikakunin is. There are a lot of cute moment that just begging to be made into gif. Even the OP song is so fluffy and become victim to my gif attack.

Kyonko is just HHHHNNNNNNGGGGHHH!

I know Kyonko is not something new.
I know Kyonko has been around for years.
I know Kyonko since a long time ago.
I know Kyonko is moe since the first time I saw her.
But now is the moment that I'm head over heels at her (9>w< )9
No... Wait!! That emoticon is just too cute for me! Who am I? Darcangel? She's the only one on DBX using those kind of emoticon on ALMOST all of her sentences and I'm not her!
I'm the 'B' on DBX not the 'D'!

*cough* anyway!
You knows about Kyonko, right?
The female Gen-Bend version of Kyon from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.

This is Kyon:

"People love my female version more than me" *facepalm

And This is Kyonko:

 

Anime Quick Review - Fall 2012

So, somehow I neglected this blog for a while - -a
I did manage to come to AFA ID.
It was amazing and wallet-draining.
But it was fun, especially the concert.
Got 2 figmas from there and 3 Originals Audio CD with LiSA, 7!!, and Stereophony Autographs
And got two posters with BLESS4 and Angela Autographs.

Wait!
I'm here not about AFA!
After some thought and what looks like good line-up of anime for this season (Fall 2012), I decided to finally back to anime route.
I still remember the last anime review I have here was Persona 4 the Animation. Man, that was eons ago. But, hey! Here I am willing to give you all a quick review of several anime that I decided to took my time to watch the first episodes.
If I watch new anime after this post finished, I'll update this post.
I will also put my recommendation for the fansub group since I'm one of those guy who are picky about subs quality. Thank you to subcompare.com who made me able to pick the best subs for me.
Whenever I decided to write a review for a particular anime, I will put the link here too, so you can always find it easily.

As for the rating system, I will use the simple format from my rating standard.
It's a simple 5 point rating system. Each have their own meaning.
Great : The anime is amazing! It's a must-watch!
Good : It's cool! Worth to watch.
Average  : Not bad. Not that good either. I have no problem watching it, but I'm not eager to see the next episode.
Bad : There's nothing special with this. Kinda tired watching this. Can be watched if you like the genre or if you don't have anything to watch.
Crap : It's CRAP! Totally not worth to watch. Avoid this at all cost!
Note:
1. These are solely my OWN opinion. It's not necessary the same as what you think.
2. These reviews are based on the FIRST episode ONLY! The whole series maybe better or worse than what reviewed here.
3. The genre and story review is based on the FIRST EPISODE only and no material taken from third party. So genre and story is only from my own experience.

13 October 2012 - K, Shinsekai Yori, Chuunibyou, BTOOOM!, Little Busters!, Kamisama Hajimemashita
24 October 2012 - Zetsuen no Tempest, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Ixion Saga DT


[K]
Genre : Supernatural, Action
Fansub : Commie
Rate : Great
Probably one of the best anime this season and also one of the best animated anime this year. The animation is fluid and dynamic. The skateboarding scene is my favorite for the first episode. The story is about some gangs/groups war who use some kind of supernatural ability. The battle is great, and the CG effect is cool. The first episode left a lot of question but promises a great story to be unfolded. The character design is also good and cool. From my point of view, [K] is like Durarara! with supernatural ability and more emphasis on battle. The OP and ED is also artistic and makes me want to watch it again. Oh, and if you like goth-loli, we have one here :D Maybe I'll watch this for this gothic loli. She has white hair.

Shinsekai Yori
Genre: Supernatural, thriller, mystery
Fansub : UTW or Commie
Rate : Good
Shinsekai Yori tells story about sometimes in the future where people have supernatural abilities and need to joins a school which trains their ability. A lot of secrets and mysteries are established in the first episode. These secrets promise a good story for future episodes. The graphic itself is not bad, even quite good if I may say. Shinsekai Yori reminds me of Shiki with their slow paced story telling but still absorbs us into the mysteries they have on their disposal. It's for those people who love story that make them curious.

Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai
Genre: Slice of Life, School Romance, Comedy
Fansub : URW
Rate : Good
This anime tells us story about people who suffers from Chuunibyou syndrome who have too much imagination and think of themself as someone who have powerful power. Some of us have experienced that, but the characters here taking it to the next level and admit their power publicly. As an Kyo-ani production, the characters really feels like K-on! characters. Hell, even the mom looks moe. This is what they call moe-blob alright. The comedy is quite good, though I didn't laugh out loud from them. This anime waver between Average and Good, but I list it as good in the end. If you like Kyo-ani or moe character, then this is for you. If you like comedy series, you can have it a go.

BTOOOM! 
Genre : Action, Adventure, Survival, Sci-Fi
Fansub : FFFPeeps or Commie
Rate : Good
BTOOOM! is an in-universe Multiplayer Online War Game which pit one team and another just like our world FPS games but with bomb only as the weapons. Yup, no gun, no melee, only bombs. And they have many kind of bombs ready at their disposal. The main character is a NEET and Japan's best player and Ace of World's 10th best team. Somehow, he find himself in a tropical forest and meet a guy who chase him and want to kill him with bombs. It's just like he thrown inside the game's world. BTOOOM! have the usual battle royal theme with quite unusual weapons. I expect a lot of tactical warfare in later episodes since they only have bombs. The character design is good and show the Seinen atmosphere on it. It's full of action and you should avoid this if you hate or can't stand violance.

Little Busters!
Genre : School Romance, Comedy, Slice of Life, Baseball(?)
Fansub : UTW-Mazui (Joint Project)
Rate : Great
Five childhood friends have a weird idea of making a baseball team when one of them is actually on his third year. This guy always want to be different and it makes him standout in school. And this idea of baseball team is actually his. Adapted from popular VN with the same name, this anime was hugely anticipated. I haven't played the game so you can be sure I'm not biased here. It have many great jokes and give me hell of a laugh on some of them. The story looks okay and promise to be quite good, but the rate here mostly because of the jokes :p The character design is standard of those VN games. Their faces not that distinct and quite generic. But the comedy is all I looking for here, so I'll stick to this one. And you should too if you like a good laugh.

Kamisama Hajimemashita
Genre : Romance, Comedy, Supernatural, School life, Shoujo
Fansub : Anime-koi
Rate: Good
They published the manga here in my country and I like that quite much. The main character is a girl who lost her house and ends up in a temple who actually the house of Earth Deity. She somehow ends up become the new Earth Deity. On the temple lives a Youkai who served the previous god and he doesn't acknowledge the new god. Well, this anime was adapted from a shoujo manga, so expect a lot of' awwwwwww' moments here and there. But yes, though I must say they make this one quite good, I still didn't enjoy this one very much. Maybe that's because I already read the manga. But it still a promising anime. And the OP and ED is good! I'm addicted to the OP and ED of this anime :D. The character design is not too far from the manga and therefore quite good in shoujo manga sense. As a romance comedy, the comedy was well directed and able to entertain me. If you don't like shoujo anime, you are expected to stay from this anime, but aside from that, you could always watch this for the comedy.

Zetsuen no Tempest
Genre: Action, Shounen
Fansub: Commie
Rate: Great
I really hate the fact that I delayed to watch this anime. There were these two good friends. One of them suddenly missing for a month. And when he returned, he able to use Magic! This anime has several sweet part that, I can't stop stress this, I really like. I like almost every aspect of this anime; the concept, the story, characters relationship. It's just... WOW! The character design is good, each character is unique and I love how they able to draw their expression so differently and lively. There only small battle scene on the first episode, but I like that very much. They make the battle and skill's effect really cool. The movement flow beautifully from one to another. The OP and ED is also really good, and I fall in love with the OP song! You know what? This is maybe my top priority anime this season (at this point, I already watched almost all first episode of the anime aired this season). If you like action anime with little to no comedy, this is just for you!

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Genre: School, Slice of Life, Romance, Comedy
Fansub: FFF or Commie
Rate: Great
I was expecting little laugh on this one, but I burst into laughter instead. I swear this is one of the funniest romance comedy I've ever seen. So, there's this introvert girl who takes all her time to study. One day, she was asked to deliver hands-out to a guy who was suspended for fighting. She was hesitant, but somehow the guy consider her as his friend. I didn't expect I will have that much laugh over this anime, though the character design is quite simple, they still attractive in their own way. I also like how they draw the background. They use what looks like crayon hand-drawing for the background. It looks contrast with the character, but it looks good imo. Although this anime is romance comedy, I watch this for the comedy part. And if you like romance comedy, this maybe the best this season can offer!

Ixion Saga DT
Genre: Action, Video Games, Adventure, Comedy
Fansub: Commie
Rate: Good
A guy was playing a video game and somehow, in a weird turn of event, he ends up sucked to another world. What really interesting is, in viewer point of view (MY point of view), this other world amazingly looked like a video game, an RPG to be exact. They have power, skills, and weapon. They even have party too. And then, they push it to the limit with the really RPG-ish BGM. The BGM when they fight really feels like certain developer's games' BGM. It really fun to hear that. The strong point of this anime is the comedy. I really have good laughs here and there with this anime. They have a good chekov's gun on the first episode, though it was really expected, but still fun to watch. And the way the last fight of the first episode end really can makes everyone (yes, everyone) laugh. Want to laugh with an RPG-looks-alike anime? This is your best choice!

That's all for now. Will be updated as soon as I can.
Please read the log to know whether there are a new review or not.

News From AFA ID - Anime Festival Asia 2012!!

Hi, guys!
Long time no see. I've been busy with my works and some other things *cough*peacewalker*cough*
I also have less time to put some ISML news here.
And if you didn't know, my HDD is dead :|
A lot of data were gone (but seems salvageable). Thanks God my Anime and manga collections are on external HDD.
IN ANY CASE!

Ever heard of AFA?
If you are not from Asia (especially, South East Asia. To be precise, Singapore) then you probably never heard of it. Hell, even I, a being from Indonesia (just several inch from Singapore) hadn't heard about this until couple of months ago.
AFA stands for Anime Festival Asia. Difference from your common local Anime Event, AFA hosted by pro and even invited original Japanese stars! Yep, it's the real deal, no knock-off star here. It was first hosted in Singapore and starting this year, AFA expand it's wings toward Malaysia and Indonesia. You read it right, IN-DO-NE-SIA!!

Our "Tenshi" Is The Winner!! Aquamarine Period Has Ended

Since I'm late, probably post will be talking about out-dated info.
Whatever~
The International Saimoe League 2012 Aquamarine Necklace Showdown is over!
And the winner is......
Tachibana Kanade of Angel Beats!

I somehow ended not really liking this image of our Necklace Winner

Aquamarin Is Almost End! ISML 2012 First Necklace Showdown Is Coming!

 Hi, sorry for the late report.
Been busy and all (*making excuse*)
Anyway, FYI International Saimoe League 2012 Aquamarine Period is almost over. But brace yourself, because International Saimoe League 2012 first Necklace Showdown is in the corner peeking at us!!

Brace Your self! Aquamarine Necklace Showdown is Coming!!

If you haven't know already, Necklace Showdown is always held at the end of every period. The purpose? To give a period Necklace to those who are worthy. And the worthy one are the best at the current period. There are rules and etc that have been changed over the year, especially with the introduction of the division system, there need to be a new system for the showdown.
Curious?
Of course you are. But before that, let's see the final ranks for this Aquamarine Period. I won't post the result for bandwidth sake, just the rank. Because Ranks are important for Necklace Showdown.
So, here are the latest ranks for both division.

ISML 2012 Aquamarine Period Final Result

Day 3 of ISML - A Big Match Is Here!

Yo~
How are you guys doing?
Still eager to vote?
Relax, relax....
The next round of ISML will not up in 24 hours.
So, just sit back. Have a rest a bit...
And prepare to rage in 12 hours because the result of Round 2 will be out by then!

And before we move on, here are the list of match up for tomorrow match, round 3 of Aquamarine Period!

ISML 2012 - Aquamarine Round 2

Day two!
And it seems everybody eager to vote, no? It's really hard to vote right now - -'
Anyway, before we go to who I vote for, let's see some forecast from me.

First, we go with one of the Houkagou Tea Time member, Mugi-chan. After a big loss from Azunyan, she probably wanted to fare more on today's match. But it seems that luck isn't on her side. Her second opponent is Hinagiku. Hinagiku is a really strong opponent. For Mugi to win, she need a lot, and I mean A LOT, of support here....

Motteke! Maid Fuku~

SO!
Today I was attending BIJAC no MATSURI on Binus International. Today was the pre-event, so there was not much to do there. They planned to hold a kind of maid cafe starting tomorrow. Today, the cafe hadn't open yet. But, the maids weren't waiting for tomorrow to come just like that. They gave a performance for us there! YAY!!

They performed "Motteke! Sailor Fuku" dance with maid uniform (hence the title). That was lovely XD
What? You couldn't get there and want to see the performance?
Chill out, my friends~
I happened to be there, happened to bring a camera, and happened to record the dance :D
So, here you go!! Motteke Maid Fuku!!

Lovely, isn't it?

Sure, they should practice more. But hey, who am I to judge them? I like the maid outfit, I like the dance, and thus, I like the performance! (Yay!)

I planned to go there again tomorrow. Have to try the maid cafe for sure. Though, frankly I kinda hesitate to go alone. Buuuuuuuttttttttttt~ Nevermind.... Everything for the maid!!

YAY!!

This is Benard reporting, see you on the next post!!
AAAAAANNNNNNNNNDDDDDD CUT!!!!!!

When was my last post?

*Looking at previous' post date*
*Looking at today's date*

Am I really haven't post anything for that long??
It's almost.... 4 MONTH!!??
Darn, it's quite long. Maybe one of the longest hiatus I've ever make here.

So, for reason and excuse for the hiatus.
If you know me from my college, I'm sure you know that this is my last semester on under-graduate program. Which also mean that I need to submit a final thesis. And yes, I want to blame the hiatusity on that thesis. As I always say about thesis, "A Valid Reason For Everything".

A lot of things happens on that hiatus. Some are good, some are bad, while others really don't have anything to do with me. A lot of good animes are missed by me. As soon as I watch them, I'll write some review here. I promise (not!). The ISML 2012 is already started, though it still just passed the nomination period. Hopefully I can post about it before preliminary starts. And games... Haven't played much either, except for Skyrim. I haven't fully played any Elder Scroll series before this and now I can see why this series is wildly popular. I played it for more or less a full week before I was forced to stop because finals was approaching along with thesis defense.

There will be a huge possibility that my next posts will talk a lot about Skyrim. Most of them can be found anywhere as long as you have access to Google or the like. Still, I'm going to post it. Because it's fun to do so and there are some people who hate (aka Lazy) to do some research their self. This also means that a lot of my free time maybe will be spend on Skyrim. Hopefully I'll be able to secure some times for animes and stuffs.

Well, I think that's all for now. Just want to make you guys aware that I haven't forsaken this blog yet. My next post will most probably come after my thesis defense, which gonna happens in the near future. Wish me luck!

DBX has finally been formed!

In the last few weeks, me and two of my friends have been discussed on creating a VN for Vienetta 2011. It's a VN competition in Indonesia. After a long thought and discussion, we decided that this cooperation should last longer than just this. And so, we in the end created a group called DBX - D Broken Xoul.

What? You feel like you have heard the name somewhere? Of course you have! It's my email! Yeah, so the one that propose the name was me Benard aka mrbenz. But we slightly change the name. The original name was D Broken Soul. But, one of us complained and we changed the 'S' with 'X'.

So, DBX currently consist of three people, mrbenz, darcangel, and xortimus.The three of us live in Indonesia and so far haven't meet each other face-to-face. Yeah, most (if not all) of our discussion are done online. Oh, if I haven't tell you before, darcangel is the only girl on our team. It's kinda rare for me to find a girl who like anime and stuff. By the way, she's also a hardcore gamer. If you happen to meet a nickname like that on the net, that's probably her, if not me. Back in the day, there was time where we argue who should use the name. Accidentally, I also use the same nickname for many of my games. That cause a big debate back then. In the end, she's the one using that name, since I already have mrbenz as a nickname. >.<

Currently, our first project is called "The Last Show" it's a Kinetic Novel which we intended to submit for Vienetta 2011. In the near future, we will also launch our own blog to submit progress and information and as a place where you guys can contact us.

And that's that! This is Benard reporting, see you on the next post!!

Nyan Cat Challenge!!

 Hello, back again with me~
Don't get bored with me!

Anyway, you guys probably know nyan cat right?
What? You don't?
Oh Please! It's one good meme where you see a cute cat with pop tart body flying across the space leaving rainbow on it's trail singing "nyan-nyan-nyan" (means "miaw" if you don't know yet) and doing..... NOTHING ELSE!! YES!! JUST FLYING AND SINGING!!
For me, the music is kind of good I like it.
Some others (read as : MOST people) find it irritatingly annoying as hell.

Well, I was forgetting this meme UNTIL I found this on You Tube....

OH SH*T OH SH*T OH SH*T

OH SH*T OH SH*T OH SH*T!!!!
I haven't post something for, what, 2 weeks?

Well, truth be told, I've been busy with a lot of task and project in my RL.
Yeah, if you're wondering, I still have Real Life you know~
So, no report on the ISML yet. Sorry 'bout that.

And to top that, I will have exam for the next 2 weeks!!
Awwwww....... It sucks, isn't it??
Yes, it is. >.<

Yet, Spring is ending, and Summer is right in front of my eyes!!
What are we gonna do??
Well, I simply need to prepare a lot of anime, and watch them on holiday!
Brilliant!!
Expect some review for those animes, 'kay?

Okay, I think that's all...

Want to know more?
If you reading this on the main page, click "read more" sign to continue reading.
If you already inside the article, just look into the next paragraph.

ISML Topaz Period Round 4!!

 AT LAST!!
Something that worth to be predicted!
I won't keep this long, so let's get to the prediction!!

First, let's see Ui vs Saber.
Why I choose those two for prediction?
Simple, both position are in the middle (IIRC).
And both have their quite few yet strong supporters on this ISML.
Ui is quite popular that she's the only one contestant from K-On that not a member of HTT.
Too bad that somehow she doesn't have a lot of fans.
Seems it's due to her low appearance chance. (I like her so much >.<)
For Saber, she's the main char of FSN and often rivaled by Rin from the same series.
Yet, from what I saw last year, her supporter is not that many.
Don't know why...
So, my prediction? Based on my experience on the last ISML, Saber will out as the winner.
T^T

What next? How about Konata vs Eucliwood?
Konata really have a big supporters out there.
Or at least those that I often share idea about ISML are mostly support Konata (if the enemy is not really favored).
Eucliwood this year really get a huge vote. A great feat for a newbie.
The question is, who will come out as the winner??
Will they prefer Eucliwood rather than Konata??!!
My prediction? Eucliwood strife out as the winner.
NEXT!!

Hitagi vs Rin!
Something worth to be predicted?
Well, for me it's quite a questionable question.
Let's see...
Hitagi, doing really good at first on 2010 but ends on middle position.
Rin, her power has decreased from times to times.
Both are on middle position, so let's predict it!
Hitagi!!
That's who I think will be the winner.

And the last!!
Fate vs Kanade!!
Fate Testarossa, the Bearer of Heavenly Tiara 2008.
As former champion, people expect her to be really strong, no?
But the truth is, because she haven't got any anime lately (or maybe I'm missing those),
her power is decreasing. Still formidable for some, but not to be really scared of for others.
And her opponent is Kanade, the Queen of Newbie for this year.
This will be really though for Fate.
For her to win on another ISML is a really hard task.
Her opponents are really strong this year.
As for Kanade, I bet it's will be an easy win.
Her power is overflowing all over the places, can't say much except she's the one who will win this battle.

Ah, I think that's all for today.
No read more this time, it's not that long anyway.
So, may the moest do the best!!

Topaz Period Is Ongoing!!

Sorry for late update...
I've been busy with some flash game project.
Not my personal object, but a request from someone.
Not bad for some extra money.
It can cover my expense for Asakura Nemu's Nendroid ^^

Anyway, back to ISML 2011.
Because of that Project, I was unable to post anything here.
One thing for sure, TOPAZ PERIOD is running now!!
Yippee!!
I haven't looked at current rank yet, so I can't tell much.

For prediction that have been missed...
Trust me on this, the last 2 round was not that hard.
I even confused for some time as there were no match that worth to be predicted.
Most matches has certain win back there.

IDK for the third match in Topaz, but seems not too hard also.
Will I put the prediction??
I don't know. It's all depends on whether I think there are any worthwhile match or not.

Oh, and one more thing.
For those who have Twitter account, let's support ISML with #ISML and #ISML2011
I really hope it can become a trending topic worldwide one day.^^

ISML 2011 Aquamarine Necklace Result!!

So, last post was talking about prediction!
Is my prediction correct or not??
What I can say is my prediction is half-correct!
What does that mean?
Before I further explain that one, let's see the picture of the Necklace Winner of this Aquamarine period!
