Teh Spoils.

Didn't actually get that much since my money is gonna FLY in Taiwan. So yeah >.>















Giant Eva poster. Ooh yeah. Ignore my small Haruhi Yakusoku poster D:















Oops, GitS is the wrong way up. Oh well. Left to right: Gravion, GitS, Gunslinger girl.
They aren't actually mine, they are gonna be prizes for the anime club quiz. Ya.
















Rest of the stuff. I told you there isn't much. Oh well, Nadesico is awesome and so is the Zaku disc case. Rawr.

Leave the Gundam behind!

Today was the Geddon on Monday. We arrived at the city at like 8:30, wandered a bit then went in.

Bought an Eva poster for $7.50 (it was 2 for 15 but another friend bought one too), then wandered around shops just looking at random stuff. My friend won a Black Tri-star set of cushions with teh Gundam lucky draw. D:

11am was the Crispin Freeman panel on Superheroes and Giant Robots. That was quite an informative show, and solved to as why the US has Superheroes and Japan has Giant robots. It's to do with Religion, divinity and manifestations. More stuff here. He then talked about those robots being vessels to help you achieve enlightment and how you should leave them behind once you have obtained it. He used an example of Amuro vs Char in A Baoa Qu, with Amuro letting go of the Gundam while Char tried to keep it until the last possible moment. (Go watch that bit!). He then ended the panel with "leave the Gundam behind."

Afternoon was a flurry of random stuff eg food, sitting there watching random anime etc. The cosplay skits was pretty lol. ONe group used the Loituma music :o, and there was a Hatsune Miku doing the Nyan nyan dance. Werid stuff. Winner was some Trinity blood cosplay, and I can't agree on it more.

Caught some bargains in the alst 30 mins of the con, will post pics of what I got tomorrow seeing we only bought a camera today >.>. Spent about $120 for the two days. Could have been more but, Taiwan calls.

Armageddon Auckland 08 - Saturday (+H!ACP)

http://pulpexpo.com/ For you who doesn't know.

Went on Saturday mainly for the Panel by Crispin Freeman on dubbing. Was great fun, we got him to say "All Hail Britannia!" and called him ORENJI-KUN.

All those aside, the con was pretty good. As usual, it lacks ANY Japanese anime/manga related peoples. But it's NZ, so bleh. However, there was a random draw thing for $10 so I went and got a Zaku CD carry case. My other friend got the Zaku MP3, which put me into despair. There was also a lot of overpriced figures and gunpla for sale, lol. Although you could haggle. Also spotted the Eva movie for sale for $30 + free poster, so debating whether I want to buy :o (or just the poster for $10).

Bought a few DVD boxes + 1st volumes for $5 ea. They were Gunslinger Girl, Gravin and GitS: SAC. Gone by friday, due to it being used as prizes. Alos some pretty good AMVs. One of them was a TTGL one which spoils people anyone who hasn't watched it. (Episode 8, anyone?)

After the Con, ignoring the Eva movie that was being shown (seen it on big screens in July XD), we headed to the H!ACP party.
It's hosted by Tammy of the Auckland Cosplay Forums. http://cosplaynewzealand.forumotion.com/
We had lots of food and drinks, and random games. They kept trying to get me to do the fish on a cutting board (don't ask. PLEASE), so I had to do it and won some chocolate, so I guess it wasn't all that bad. Pretty fun when there is like 40 people in a room doing Caramelldancin, and whatsnot.

Going again on Monday for the Cosplay comp (saw awesome ones today, love you ACP guys), and a panel on Giant Robots vs Superheroes. Also discouts like half an hr before the con ends XD

The end of everything, the start of a new thing.

Basically, I decided to make a blog mainly for when I am in Taiwan so you can see what the hell I am doing.

Basically, I am going back to Taiwan for 2.5 months after my end of year exams and before Uni. Yay.

I am a 18yr old male from NZ. Any more and I'm afraid I will have to kill you. In a random way.

Interests are watching anime, being random, reading, being random, listening to music, being random, talking about being random, being random and being random. By this point, if you do not know that I am random, please stop and phone your nearest psychiatrist. Thank you for your time.

For the rest of you, welcome and enjoy reading about my random ramblings that I will randomly post. Exams soon roegjiogjogng.

I will be adding on extra templates and stuff, but I got a bit lazy tonight, and so will probably not do it till later. Don't ask me when. I'll do it when I randomly feel like it.

PS: how much times have I said random?
