I want to do something like Fan Art/Fan Fic Friday, where I choose my favourite from the week and display it. When I choose it, they will also appear along the left side bar. Usually I will do both a Fan Art and Fan Fiction, but this week I didn't have the chance to read much fan fic, so I'll only be showing my favourite fan art. So, here it is ;) Sakura Miku,By Clavies Will try to do both fan art and fan fic next Friday :) -- Otaku-sama...
The city of Beppu, in Kyūshū, known as one of Japan's major hot spring resorts, has been collaborating with Tokyo-based anime studio, Tatsunoko Production Co. to promote tourism and overnight stays at its resorts. The city will display such things as life-sized panels and figures of characters from varous Tatsunoko poperties. Tatsunoko Production is also creating an original anime featuring characters from Beppu and various Tatsunoko characters. The promotion is set to continue year-round, with features such as a stamp print collecting event, a screening of the live-action feature film adaptation of "Gatchaman", the unveiling of an original Beppu character, and a video clip of Hatsune Miku! -- Otaku-sama ...
Ready to start your day the Persona way? This is probably my favourite Persona 4 fan art. I just love the way the artist captures the feel of the game. Art by meru-chan ~♥ -- Otaku-sama...
One of my goals for a while now, is to compile a top 100 list of anime to watch. It would be, most likely, just a personal preference list, but still something I've always wanted to do. But, you see, in order to do that I would have to had watched hundreds of anime (to do the list properly, that is). And sadly, that's not something I have done. Edit: Although I haven't watched hundreds, after sitting down and actually tallying all the anime I've watched, including films, I was rather surprised at how much it was - I didn't think I had seen that much! Not nearly as impressive as hundreds, but... I will eventually reach that goal and compile that top 100 list, which is why I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that you may have. Right now I'm watching "Welcome to the NHK", and, "Elfen...
Earlier this month, Dragon Ball Super Art Collection, by Akira Toriyama, was released! The book is 240 pages long and includes more than 400 illustrations form 1985-2013. A must have for any Dragon Ball fan! At the moment I think it is only available in Japan, but you can buy it from here. Just remember to read the "How To Use" page on the site, as it works slightly differently than most places you would buy from (I think the people running the site buy the product for you as they're located in Japan, and so it works slightly differently. But don't quote me on that or anything :P just make sure you check out how it works before you try and buy). Stay tuned for more updates ♥ -- Otaku-sama...
So, how is everyone today? Here's the guys from Persona 4 to help you get through the day ;) It's the ultimate Fan Art Fangasim, really, because what more could you ask for when you have both Persona & Pokemon combined? (Remember to click for the full size picture ^) I'm thinking about a Persona 4 post every morning, to kick start the day (and when I finish playing Persona 3, maybe I'll include that too), what do you guys think? TTFN, my little Otaku piglets! ♥♥♥ -- Otaku-sama...
Year: 2004 Genre: Mystery, Drama, Sci-Fi, Supernatural, Psychological, Thriller Episodes: 13 Synopsis: Sagi Tsukiko, a famous, idolised character designer, is assaulted one night on her way home from work. Traumatised from this experience, all she can piece together from the night of the attack is a vague image of an elementary school boy wielding a golden bat, and wearing matching rollerblades. Two police detectives take on the case, and just when they think they've made progress, another victim is attacked. Soon word spreads, and the unknown assailant is given the nickname "Shounen Bat." The police detectives soon find that they can't find any similarities in the victims except that they all felt emotionally cornered at the time, and as more victims are assaulted, the attacks become more violent and strange, until things begin to warp and distort by society's paranoia of the "Shounen Bat." The "Shounen Bat" becomes...

"A couple walking together at a festival... Unused to wearing it, the girl's yukata comes loose... Otaku Days has begun." Welcome to Otaku Days! Ah, yes, the first post which marks the beginning of the journey - the adventure - filled with hours of some of Japan's best entertainment and, of course, heart-stopping amounts of caffeine.
