I don’t think anime drive is the appropriate phrase to use here, since it sounds weird. Anyway, it’s use to describe the motivation and desire to watch anime. Just think of sex drive if you don’t get it.
A picture to let your thoughts run free

Yesterday’s post was FAP’s 200th post. Technically, it should not exactly be counted as 200 posts, considering some short crappy posts with to link to anime I wrote when I was hosted back on wordpress, but no matter.
Anyway, since this post is the first to pass the 200 mark, I decided I should post on something I have never touched on before. All this while, I have been writing posts that were related to anime. Today, I will be posting about the people who watch anime and post about it. That’s right, the anime blogsphere, or more like some of the local blogs which I frequent. If I did both local and non-local blogs, this post would probably see no end.
The girls of Genshiken shall grace this post
Here goes.

I just simply adore Persona -Trinity Soul- for its winter setting. As such, I have decided to compile some pictures of the winter scenery as of episode 4. If you happen to be looking for an episode summary, you are sadly in the wrong place. The screenshots would have contain no characters, and the purpose is to encourage more people to appreciate the beauty of the snow-covered city featured in the anime.

I’m sure everyone who watches anime has been influenced in some way, like those who want to be bakers after watching Yakitate Japan, or those who want to play majong after watching Akagi. Some of the influence result in short term interests, while the stronger influences result in interests that remain for years, or even a lifetime.
Just recently, I was once again influenced by anime, this time in a positive way. For almost more than a year, I have not exercised a single bit. However, just a few days ago, I broke this record. I swam for the first time since god knows when.
If only the pool had girls like this to motivate people like me to swim…
And the anime which influenced me? Major. Now, you must be thinking, what the hell has Major, a baseball anime got to do with me swimming?
I have cable TV, but unfortunately, my cable TV does not include subscription to Animax. It’s not a big deal, since I spend most of my time at home facing my computer. The only time I watch TV is when I have my meals in the living room. It doesn’t bother me that my parents decide to forgo subscription to Animax, but it does bother my sister.
Since my parents would rather spend money on Channel VV which airs Taiwan, Hongkong and Korean but no Japanese dramas, instead of allowing my sister to get her desired channel, my sister has thought of an idea that is so unique, I wouldn’t even have thought of it. Her determination to view Animax far exceeds my imagination.
Here’s how she does it:
Last year, during the Playstation 3 launch in Singapore, I managed to purchase my very own 60GB set. At that point of time, there were only a few games out in the market.
This sucks. Period.
Just when I thought my figurine expenditure was stagnant, I received news of my preorders coming in. 3 preorders. This is my first time collecting 3 scaled figurine preorders in a single trip, so the it felt rather good despite the damage exceeding $150. The difficult part, however, was the lugging of the trio back to the safety of my home. Avoiding unwanted crushing of the boxes was no easy feat.
Since I marathoned all 26 episodes of Major Season 3 just yesterday, I feel rather sluggish. No proper photoshoots because of that, and also because my digital camera has crappy macro focus.
First up, Miss Plugsuit.

I guess this post’s title could be applied for 2 matters. My examination, as well as my Gurren Lagann DVDs. Just this morning, the FEDEX delivery man brought in my amazon package. To my surprise, it was intact. No ripped up box with missing DVDs that were sent to the MDA, unlike my previous package. Whew, I guess luck is on my side this time. I hope it’s on my side too, when I order the Evangelion 1.0 DVD.
Just in case you are bored of me blabbering on and on, I shall reveal evidence of the loot.
Still in the pretty shrink wrap
Kita!!! Finally, the moment I’ve been waiting for.
Hurry with your order before the timer runs out!!!
Preorder your copy of Evangelion 1.0 NOW~!!!
Now, time for me to get a few other people together to order this awesome release.
Recently, I rediscovered how GAR Shinji is. If the Shinji that came to your mind is Ikari Shinji from Evangelion, you are sadly mistaken. He’s the wimpy Shinji. The GAR Shinji I mention is Mimura Shinji from Battle Royale. I’m pretty sure the BR Shinji must be ashamed to have the same name another wuss has.
Although a male post image header is a taboo, there’s no other choice in this case.
