See you there!!

The annual Char Fest organised by KKnM will be held on the 23rd August over at…. KKnM of course duh.

It will open an hour earlier for KknM members at 11am while us mortals will have to wait till 12 pm. You can check out the loot offered this year over here.

While it wasn’t Odex this time, they have become synonymous with anime piracy, so they get the blame.
Nope, this time it was Showgate inc.

A quick check on Animenewsnetwork came up with this

Japanese anime production and distribution company Toshiba Entertainment Inc. will be officially renamed Showgate Incorporated. The company was previously known as Amuse until 2003, making this the second time the company has undergone a name change in the past decade. Toshiba Entertainment has handled production for a wide variety of anime projects, including Genshiken, Noein and Shakugan no Shana.

No idea they did Shana as well.

Anyway, here’s the low down on the alleged “crackdown” so far.
According to sgcafe,Showgate inc has sent the much feared letter to at least one unfortunate fellow, needless to say, anger and chaos ensued. (ok that was an exaggeration)
You can check out the latest happenings here and here.

The New Paper, a tabloid over here has published a story on this as well.

Huh what Odex, Fengshui Girl FTW!

A quick read reveals that the individual has been offered a respite from this ONLY if he was not the offender in question. That about leaves the possibility that he still faces the possibility of a fine of a staggering 200,000 SGD! In short, no first warning this time round. He himself has admitted to downloading Devil May Cry, a spin-off from the hack n slash game from the same name.

While this ostensibly does not bode well for the anime fan, I am inclined to take a “well it’s sooner or later” stand.  That said, I am obviously dreading this turn of events.  Could this be the beginning of the mass exodus of otakus? Could we be wiped out? Stay tuned!

In other related news,  I was reading up on Danny Choo when I came upon one of the member news here.  Member Actar reported that several scenes depicting lesbian or gay in the latest episode of Zero no Tsukaima : Princess no Rondo was censored, namely the kissing scenes between Momo what’s her name and Louise.  I was stumped initially when I heard Zero no Tsukaima was being screened, but I should have known better, given the country’s strict laws with regards to gay. Heck, i shudder at what they did with Tiffiania freaking eyes (boobs). Note to Odex, if you are going to show any anime, make sure it’s compliant with the laws without having to censor! The offending scenes can be found here at RandomC.

Smuck!

Singaporean,

Male (duh)

undergrad to be

anime and game enthusiast ( ya would have thought this would be self explanatory )

I realise that is a bit lacking but hey a man gotta have his privacy ya know. I can�t possibly let out every otaku obsession I indulge in. (fap fap fap)

How did I change upon this blog now? Ya wouldn�t believe it but tedfox is a patriotic citizen serving the great nation that is Singapore. So there I was serving the nation as a mindless drone in this unit (CLASSIFIED!!!!)� when I saw this dude come in with a face remarkably similar to Konata. He had the whole shebang with the mole and height (well except for the blue hair and the obvious sex). The otaku in me went wide and begun dreaming up eroge fantasies. I was exuberating so much lust that he came up to me and I screamed KONATA! And that is how I felt in love I mean met with Tedfox.

Tedfox AKA Konata

Every year during the summer period, The Japanese School organizes a summer festival, just like those in Japan, which is open to the public. Perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in Jap culture.

Date : Saturday, 25 August 2007
Time : 6pm
Venue : The Japanese School (Changi Campus)
11 Upper Changi Road North

If i’m not wrong, there’s probably a shuttle bus from Tanah Merah MRT. It’s also accessible by Bus no. 2. Memories at the back of my mind say something about tickets. However, I do not have the full details, anybody can clarify for me? Anyway, it’s always damn crowded, so be sure to go there way early.

Feel free to dress up like a jap! Not compulsory of course. They do rent out Yukatas at the school, as well as service for helping you put it on. (it’s way tougher than it looks)

Anyway, seeing how it’s on the same day as Chara Fest, looks like I’ll go down after visiting Chara Fest? (damn, this would make for a very tiring day) Now I just need people to go with. haha.

(and you never know when you might just meet girls who are looking for summer romance =X )

KKnM (Merchandise Counter inside Anime House) will be closed from 15th August – 21st August 2007 to prepare for this year’s Chara Fest. Business will resume as usual on the 22nd of August.

You can check out the list here after they update it on the 23rd August.

See you there?? Haha. Damn. It’s going to be damn crowded. Sigh. I’m just going to get poorer

(I really love the characters used for the poster. Gave me a chuckle)
