Metal Gear Solid 4 Girls

Metal gear solid 4

These are cute ^^. Who knew that the “MGS4 guys” could look so good as “MGS4 girls lol. You can look at and buy them on the Konami style website. They come as a set that you can order reserve online for 2940 yen. The release date is set for the end of the year on December 11, 2008. You get the girl versions of Snake, Raiden, Ocelot, and Otacon. I think my favorite is Raider due to the crazy yet cute hair she’s sporting, plus her clothes are sweet ^^. Does that make me weird ^^;;;?

The picture above has almost no connection to what I’m going to talk about, I just thought it looked funny xD.

I’m sure many of you know that some crazy stuff has been happening in the world of otaku as of late. But I wonder if you’re up to date with some of the other interesting stuff that’s been happening in Akihabara as of late?

Japan Loot 2008

Japan loot 2008

Wish I could have bought more xD

Any otaku that goes to Japan needs to head over to Akihabara (if you’re in the Tokyo area that is :P) and that is exactly what me and my brother did when we visited Tokyo. The streets were crawling with otaku, more male than female :P. Stores rising to the sky with floors of otaku goods that range from trading cards to ero pc games :P. I visited all of them ^^, for research purposes only :P. Some building were dedicated entirely to arcade games/photo booths/UFO Crane Catchers. It’s a place every otaku should visit once in their life, maybe twice if you want to score some limited edition stuff :P.

Fanime 2008 swag

Fanime loot

I like the neck strap, it was very comfortable xD

Although I was only at Fanime for one day, actually 5 hours and 2 of those hours were spent in lines to get into the convention ^^;;, I was able to enjoy the dealers room and artist alley where I managed to acquire some swag. There were lots of dealers and artists, you can take a look at the rooms here. The dealers room looked like it consisted mostly of figure sellers that took half the room (they were spread out throughout the whole room), lolita clothing/clothing took 1/4 of the room, and the other 1/4 consisted of people selling Japanese snacks, bags, games, manga, cells, etc. Read on to see all the swag I bought.

Fanime 2008

Fanime 2008

Well I took a very long vacation (8 days away from my computer xD) though it felt longer than 8 days ^^. One thing I visited while in California was Fanime in San Jose. I’ve never been to another anime convention besides the local anime convention where I live so this was going to be interesting. It was a different experience being a “con-goer” rather than a “volunteer.” As a volunteer, I would need to keep “moving around to make sure things get done” so just “moving around” was nice. There were lots of different things I noticed while I was there, even if I was only there for five hours total :P.

No new post yet :P

I finished doing all there is to do at Disneyland (whatever humanly possible ;p) but won’t return home until next week. For I will be going to FanimeCon 2008. Where I will once again be surrounded by otaku, but this time I won’t be working at the convention so I will get to enjoy myself lol. I’ll buy more stuff (my poor bag is already stuffed with stuff ;-;) and take more pics that I will upload next week to show everyone. So until then, I’ll see you around ^^.
