Happy New Year ^^.

Another year has passed and what a great year it has been for me. I was able to get a great girlfriend, pass my classes, get the classes I want for next year, and more.

Now, it’s that time of the year when I announce the word of the year. The word of the year is….

NENDOROID.

That’s right xD. I chose nendoroid for this years word of the year because the nendoroid boom that has otaku all over the world ordering them.

You may or not know what a nendoroid is. Basically it’s a smaller and cuter form of an anime character that is one of the cutest things you’ve ever seen ^^. Here’s a video of the famous Miku in nendoroid form which I believe is the best selling nendoroid due to the amount of times good smile has needed to remake her to meet the demand of the otaku xD.

Nendoroids come from all types of anime series and goodsmile has previewed more of them on their blog for the upcoming year. You can see the nendoroids that they previewed at Comiket 75 over here.

I myself received a cute nendoroid from my girlfriend for Christmas which is my favorite gift this year ^^. Look forward to pictures of this mysterious nendoroid gift in the future ;P.

To end it off I would like to propose a new nendoroid for goodsmile that I saw on Sankaku Complex, a Taiga nendoroid xD.

She looks very cute sitting on top of Ryuuji’s head ^^. They made two Shana nendoroids so far so I’m hoping a Taiga one will come out xD.

I find it pretty funny to watch ^^. You have Domo-kun and all his friends celbrating Halloween and having a hilarious but cool dance at the end xD.

Here you can find the making of the animation

There are many different costumes that Domo-kun is seen in throughout Target stores, including the costume’s you see in the animation. On displays you can see Domo-kun stuffing his mouth with candy corn xD. You can see pictures of it here.

Here’s a look inside the store with all the Domo-kun merchandise.

Do any of you celebrate Halloween or eat candy corn? I myself don’t celebrate it anymore and don’t like candy corn xD.

Hey everyone, it’s nice to be back and rested ^^. This year’s Kawaii Kon wiped me out, due to the amount of running around the kon that I did to make sure that it ran smoothly. I believe I woke up at least by 8 in the morning then worked for the kon from 10 am-12 pm . Too busy even to take pictures of the cosplayers that attended the kon, so I’m going to take pics from other people and post them here, I will give them credit of course ^^.

Warning: Picture intensive post

Try to name all the cosplayers ^^, if you do I’ll give you a cookie XD.

The following pictures are from Vraxx’s photo set, including the first picture above. Check out the link to see more great photos ^^.

The next set comes from Phantomnishoba.

Pictures from timelady.

Here is a video of the cosplay showcase broken up into 3 parts.

This has got to be one of my favorite parts of the kon, getting to see a Lucky Star Dance thats done really well ^^. I hope you enjoy it as well XD. Note: A higher quality of the video can be found on youtube so click on the vid and you can select a higher quality there ^^.

If I find more pics that I like, I’ll upload them later today or tomorrow. Expect more pictures of kawaii kon other than cosplay later ^^.

Uuu Uuu Uma Uma (ｳｯｰｳｯｰｳﾏｳﾏ) is what it’s called in the world of otaku. Did I somehow miss this lol, though it does look like it’s only known in Japan as far as I know. When I first watched this at Danny’s blog, I thought I was watching another numa numa video. For those who don’t know about numa numa, it’s this really popular song that appeared on the internet and spread like wild fire and is now globally known. I personally don’t like it lol, it’s just annoying to me. But Uuu Uuu Uma Uma is pretty cute, maybe because it’s not sung by some dude lol, no offense to guy singers out there.

Misao FTW, love those sound files

This is for those who don’t know what numa numa is, but with anime clips ^^

Once again, Danny Choo has supplied the world with another sugoi Storm Trooper dance. This time he has his Rolly with him so everyone can dance to the sound of music lol. Danny isn’t alone this time, as he is with dance master Nikk who busts out dance moves all over Shibuya with Danny. Enjoy the show ^^.

Danny Choo once again rocks the internet world with his Storm Trooper Dancing. He goes to different locations in Shibuya and dances the night away in his Strom Trooper outfit. Very cool dancing ^^, takes a lot of guts to dance out there in public, especially in Japan. Thumbs up to Danny who has taken steps to openly express himself, though I wouldn’t try it here in the states lol. Who knows what might happen ^^.
