I have two things to say about this episode, awesomely terrible and terribly awesome. If you are wondering WTF about that statement, then that’s exactly what I think of this episode. Recently H20 has taken a bit more of a serious character development with both Hayami and Hotaru and a lot of things got resolved pretty quickly but it also brought up other questions. With the episode titled Otoha, I thought we would see a bit more on Hotaru and Hinata, but instead we have the entire world tuned upside down and enter into the crazy world of Otoha.

You have to love it when there is an anime series within an anime series, similar to Martian Successor Nadesico and Gekigangar 3, but with Bamboo Blade, it’s Blade Braver. Both share the awesome burning passion that is good versus evil, but there is a slight difference between the two. Bamboo Blade has Tamaki as the fan. Really, if there was Tamaki, I probably wouldn’t see Blade Braver being as awesome as it is. This episode shows HOW much of a fan Tamaki is and it sure brought us some funny, yet adorable and cute moments.

Oh man, so it’s finally happened. sola has been licensed, and by no other than Bandai Visual USA. Announced on ANN, I can only be both excited, yet also disappointed in this kind of news. I think it’s great that a series such as sola has been licensed, but the fact that it has been licensed by Bandai Visual USA is a different matter. Personally I’m not up to date on what happens in the US anime market since I live in Australia, but I do sense that something terrible will plague the series just like the Kanon 2006 dub.
The other thing for me as a consumer is whether they can compete with the Japanese DVD releases. Obviously from seeing what the Limited Edition versions of sola have to offer, I can say that I’m glad my hard earned dollars have gone to the Japanese releases. So all up, I’m hella excited about a US release of sola, but also have huge doubts of whether the release will be a hit or miss. If BV USA decide to go the track of releasing $30 for two episodes per disc, then I rather wait for a local Australian release by Madman.
In the meantime, BV USA have a placeholder site up for sola here. It also appears that the first volume won’t be out till the 10th June. Damn that’s a long way away. But more than anything, I’m eager for the release of the sola manga by Brocolli Books.

Firstly, Tomoya is a lucky guy to have 4 girls cook for him, even though he was suspended. Honestly, if something like that happened to me I couldn’t choose between them all, well except Fuko as those starfish shaped foods look pretty lethal. But if I would have to choose, it would have to be Kotomi. Anyway, despite Tomoya being suspended, we do get quite a development between him and the other girls, especially Ryou and Tomoyo, but honestly, a lot sure went by in this episode.

Now most Hayate episodes tend to be pretty good, but when it comes to character focus, it becomes even better. It certainly has been a while since we had something Maria focused so I was looking forward to this episode when I saw the preview. This episode is about Maria taking the day off to relax as it’s Nagi’s and Hayate’s way of saying thank you, but this is Hayate no Gotoku, nothing goes as according as planned. The hotel they chose for Maria’s day off was in fact already over-run with Hakuou Academy students, which of course bring about many laughs.

Recently I’ve been eager to watch more Hayate no Gotoku as recently the episodes have been getting pretty good. Anyway this episode is about Nagi’s manga that finally gets turned into an anime. Hayate mentioned that they already did something like this already but seriously, I can’t remember when that was, lol. Anyway the best parts of this episode was seeing the various parodies and all the characters from some recent, and other well known series. Though the one I loved the most was Mitsuki from Full Moon wo Sagashite.

As a photographer, it always brings me great pleasure to know that the photos I take are appreciated, whether it be positive or negative, but an even greater pleasure if they are used in publication. Ever since I had my shiny camera, it brought about some wonderful opportunities and experiences, and pretty much all of it is self-taught. The GSC Manabi figure I took photos of will be used in Mondo, a Hungarian anime/manga magazine (yet to see how that one looked). Of course my photos aren’t just limited to figures. Come convention time, I’m pretty trigger happy and the photos come flowing through. Some of you may remember me mentioning that I did a photo shoot for Madman Entertainment during Supanova last year, well they finally got published!
Anime Update is a mini-magazine released by Madman Entertainment bringing us some info on some of the latest Australian releases. Most of the stuff covered in this magazine are things I’ve already watched, but it’s nice to know what the local market has to offer as it’s sure cheaper than buying the Japanese DVDs. Anyway, the part I’m most interested in was this:

The photo shoot I did was of the winner of the Sunday cosplay competition, Freddy Krueger. Seriously, when I saw his costume up close, it looked so freaking awesome. Anyway I’m happy that my photos are being used somewhere and I can only hope more opportunities like this will arise. So in the meantime, I’d like to thank Slykura of Madman Entertainment for giving me the opportunity to take photos for him, and also my photographer pal Bubby for informing me about the article, as well as scanning it for me.
