Anime has always portrayed various well known foods, or snacks in particular. Onegai Teacher had Pocky. Kanon had taiyaki and strawberry sundaes. Shakugan no Shana had melon bread. And now there is Lucky Star, and this time it brings along choco cornets. Konata’s staple intake of choco cornets for lunch has definitely made my otaku burning passion to try one myself, but living out as far as I do from the city, all seemed to be in vain. But alas, today was a trip into the city, and heading into one of my regular places to buy sweet bread, I found it!

For my Sydney-sider readers, I found this at BreadTop, which is located on the Ground Floor of World Square. Although the conversation they had in episode one got me thinking of which do you see as the head. Although I couldn’t pick which one, I decided to buy two so I could try eating them from different ends. So far I’ve eaten one but I’m not going to describe what I think of it since I’m not a food critic. But still, for those who want one and be like Konata, now you know where to get one. Boy do I feel like a geek, lol.
UPDATE: I just ate the second one from the thin end and the chocolate just oozed out. Luckily I was eating in the kitchen so I didn’t make too much of a mess.

Well after hearing the announcement WAY back in March, we finally see the ARIA The OVA ~Arietta~ website online. The date for the release is the 21st September, which is quite a long way away. Although seeing the picture on the site, it appears the background animation has improved significantly over the TV series and is more detailed. But of course this is only a promo picture so I do hope they release a preview trailer or something before the actual release. Plus since this is an OVA series, chances of me purchasing the DVDs are pretty good. (Yes I don’t have the TV series DVDs, surprise isn’t it?)
There is also an event held on the 2nd September called La festa di ARIA, which is probably just a promo event before the release of the DVD. Anyway check out the website here.
Also to note, I have been told an interesting rumour that Amano Kozue may be finishing up the ARIA manga soon. This I heard from a fellow ARIA fan, but how much of this is true I am unsure myself. Anyone want to clarify for me?

Just simply announcing that I have created a Figures page for simplicity for those of you who want to see my past figure photographs as some people don’t like browsing through the entire Figures category. I have also included the very first photographs I did before I got my shiny camera, but you can see how much I have progressed. Well check out the Figures Page!
Also to note, it might look a little weird but it’ll look better once Moé Moé Rabu v4 is up and running, which I have nearly finished. I haven’t worked on it for a week and half simply because I got lazy. There’s not much left to do except make some banners and a few more tweaks.

Isumi finally takes her leave from the Sanzenin house, but before she goes, Nagi says that she can come over and get lost again, but Isumi says that they can see each other again if she turns up to school. The next morning, Hayate manages to convince Nagi to goto school by taking her by bicycle. When she asks why he insists on her going, Hayate makes her realise that some people can’t goto school even if they want to. Returning to the mansion and doing cleaning duties, Tama asks Hayate about his education, but Hayate says that he has a debt that will take 40 years to pay off. At the school, Nagi is stopped by Isumi because Nagi was heading in the direction of the old school building.
