The popularity of K-ON! is indeed raising, just 2 weeks back, a “Keion” Live Concert was held at the model school of K-ON! on August 1st, as reported by Kyoto Newspaper. The keion club members of the neighboring high schools played the theme songs of K-ON! in the costumes of the anime.

The model school is the old building of Toyosato elementary school and there are about one hundred visitors a day. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Toyosato town launched an executive committee to develop the local industry …

You can view the PV of the Game Trailer, plus the Movie 1st below. Lol watching the trailer definitely made my fangirling level went up XD. [...]

I couldn’t stop fangirling after reading the news at Japan Today. Liar Game is one of the first few Jdrama shows I caught. Until today, most of my drama shows include Erika Toda – I love her! =D.

In case you aren’t familiar of this fantastic psycological drama, Liar Game – Let me tell you more.
Nao Kanzaki(played by Erika Toda), an honest college student, receives 100 million yen (about $1,000,000) and an invitation to participate in something called the “Liar Game Tournament”. When Nao is easily tricked by her opponent, she …

The PV is just as awesome. I love the fact that MARIA is a band, and girls+guitar is LOVE!!! Woohoo. I looked up at the other …

The anime series Unko-san is a comedy about the daily life of Poo. This is such a random series I’m sure some people would ponder what exactly the producers were on when such a scenario was thought up, but the Koreans are infuriated that one of the Poo’s resembles a Korean.

Koreans allege that a character named “Kim Ben” (“Ben” is a pun on the Japanese character for excrement), who loves kimchee, has narrow eyes and is “easily angered,” is in fact an attempt to liken Koreans to nightsoil.

Since similar issues …

Comiket 76 started on Friday and will end today, August 16 2009. It’s being held at Tokyo Big Sight currently, lots of figurines shown there. Already did a post for the figurines shown at Wonder Festival Summer 2009, so I’ll list those that caught my eye – for now. ;)
First up, Nendoroid Kirisame Marisa from Touhou Project by GSC. Finally a colored one! ^_^. Nice nendoroid.. I really want to buy her, if I could but what is this feeling that I have that she’s exclusive?

1/8 scale of Ein PVC, …

If we want to be technical this is an announcement of an announcement. Newtype is saying that their next volume will include a *HUGE* haruhi announcement. No hints are given though, leaving it open to fan speculation for the time being.
I can only imagine one of three things
1. A third season
2. A Movie of Endless 8
3. A second season of Youtube “Haruhi Chan”
I will give Kyo-ani a big pat on the back if they pick option number 2… For being such an epic troll =3
