Simple Plan - I Can Wait Forever

Official theme song for LamB by Animax

Finally we have a preview of what is to be expected after so much effect Animax had been putting in to promote this title.
All I can say that the CG, lighting used are really good but then the 2D characters doesn't really seems to blend well to the environment... Maybe it's just me or they're just doing this for the PV for promotion purpose.

Well, let's hope not and the end product will be better. :3

My Favorite anime for year 2008 - Part Two

The second and the final part of my favorite anime for 2008.
Part one of the review can be read here and again, the title here are not in any particular order of preferences.

Soul Eater 2nd OP - Papermoon (Tommy Heavenly6)

One of the ongoing series which had not ended yet. So far, Soul Eater is one of the best animated action anime in my opinion. The fight itself is very detailed and you won't get bored of it. Sadly, the anime is not following the actual storyline in the manga and hopefully, it won't end up like Claymore. Need more of Excalibur!!!

Kannagi OP - Motto Hade Ni Ne! (Haruka Tomatsu)

I guess this must be one of the more popular title this year, correct me if I'm wrong. ^^; The story is about a wood statue carved by a art student coming to life in the form of goddess. From then on, they have to live together to fight the impurities that are gathering within the town. Go watch it if you like those type of spice of life comedy.

Code Geass R2 - World End (Flow)

I don't think I need to elaborate much on this title. For those who had watched season one will not want to miss on this finale. Major plot twist, pretty mecha makes the 2nd season more enjoyable than the 1st season. Of course, the ending for R2 kinda took me by surprise too. :3

With this, we've come to the end of the short reviews. This are the few of the 2008 titles that I will recommend friends to watch.
Gonna be doing a must watch list for the winter 2008 anime next. Till then, seeya~

My Favorite anime for year 2008 - Part One

It's a bit late but I'm gonna do a small reviews of all my favorite animes which I've watched. It may be a bit biased on certain title due to to my personal liking.
Lastly, the title listed here are not in any particular order of preferences.

Macross Frontier 2nd OP - Lion (May'n, Nakajima Megumi)

One of the major hit in year 2008. Definitely earning the best anime soundtrack of the year award in my opinion. Music composed by Yoko Kanno, various song sang by May'n, Nakajima Megumi definitely brought life to a simple triangular love story. To top it off, the awesome CG of various mecha like the VF25 just makes the anime better. Go watch it if you had not done so!

Ga-Rei Zero OP - Paradise Lost (Chihara Minori)

One of the underdog title which I never expect that I would watch. The 1st episode really caught my attention when all the so call 'main' cast were killed. The story is staged at the timeline before the actual manga, Ga-Rei which might explain why there's a Zero at the end of the title. Surprisingly not many people have this title in their favorite listing for 2008, maybe I really like teenage girls welding samurai sword and summoning demons. :3

Toradora OP - Pre-Parade (Kugimiya Rie, Horie Yui, Kitamura Eri)

Ok, gonna be real frank and be biased on this one. I rarely missed any title voiced by Rie Kugimiya especially when she voiced a tsudere, loli type character. But seriously, this is those type of anime where you really need after a long tiring day of work/school. Really one of my favorite type of comedy I would like to watch anytime, anyday. :3

Itazura na Kiss 2nd ED - Jikan yo Tomare (AZU feat. Seamo)

Main female character is voiced by Nana Mizuki. It's a simple comedy romance story. Girl loves boy, boy hates girl and they lives happily ever after. I can't really explain why I like this title but somehow I'm grown attracted to it. I actually marathon-ed the whole series in one day during my exam study week. And the ED song as shown above had been in my mp3 playlist from the 1st day I listened to it and I never get bored of it.

With this, we've come to the end for the 2008 short anime review part one.
Will be doing the 2nd part sometime this week, thanks for reading. ^^

EOY 2008

I guess I am one of the latest blogger to report on the event which just happens last Saturday at Singapore Expo. Been too busy sorting out the 700+ photos which only 80ish photos have been decent. :(
This is the 2nd time I attended this event, managed to meet up with some bloggers like the FAMOUS panther who failed to hide from me. Now onto the cosplayers..

Cutest Nell I've seen so far.


Last appearance for HoiHoi-San at EOY08.


Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji.


The girl in the center got one of the best costume for the event imo.

And lastly the dynasty warrior girl which panther have been crazy over.

Got nothing to said much, basically the event have been covered by most of the bloggers.

Animelo 2008

Yeah I know it old news, Animelo 2008 had already finished in August.
This year Animelo is a bit unique tho, it's split into 2 days with different singers each day. And May'n was also invited as one of the singer this year. :o
Guess those paying to watch must be burning a hole in their pocket. :x

A preview on what songs were sang.
I wanna watch Nana Mizuki and Ali Project duet for the song "Eternal Blaze" bad. >_<

The theme song for Animelo 2008, Yells ~It's a Beautiful Life~.

Anime Festival Asia 08 - The Aftermath

It's been a blast for me for the past 2 days where I spend most of the time at Suntec together with thousand others who had attended this event. Figurine companies showcasing their products, high profile people from the animation industries giving talks, live performance by Ichirou Mizuki and May'n. I really do hope to know more people who will attend this event with me tho. :(

I guess many people like me really enjoyed this event or at least one lucky guy did. I did had a lot of fun going around and taking photos of the cosplayers on the 2nd day with my uber 2 years old crappy campact digicam(time to invest in a DSRL!). Have to chase the cosplayers around tho, hope I wish they have a cosplay corner where all cosplayers will be gathered there. ^^;

Overall, I think the event is really well done and organised. Really hoping to see a AFA09 next year. Till then looking forward to EOY08.

And before I end, a short Lion PV for all of you peeps. ^^
