Yoko Ritona’s Journey To Singapore

It wasn’t much of an adventurous journey, really. Basically, Yoko departed Amazon Japan in Tokyo on 28th February, took a flight, stopped by Subic Bay Freeport in the Philippines for a short break, before finally making her way over to Singapore. She arrived this morning, 29th February at 6am, while I was still snuggling in bed. Some time around 10am, she arrived at my doorstep with her escort, the Fedex delivery man.

Gainax Loot

Today’s trip to KKnM was only supposed to be for me to sell the Evangelion 3D card to Sentinel011. Just before I headed down, I recieved 2 smses. Sweet.

Yoko from Gurren Lagann, and the 2 Pinky:ST Evangelion girls have arrived.

At KKnM, when it was finally my turn to purchase (the queue was considered long for a weekday), I collected my 2 preorders, and at the same time, enquired about the Petite Eva mini figurines that were in the arrival list. It turned out that they were keychains. I was still pondering over whether to get it, but once I was told that not all sets have the limited angel that comes with Ayanami Rei, I was immediately sold to the Petite Evas.

Sentinel came over soon after I was done with my purchase and bought the card.

Let me calculate my finances for the day. Continue reading ‘Gainax Loot’

Tegen Toppa Gurren Lagann

This show is total awesomeness.

I thought that the show would suck after the manly Kamina’s death,but I was totally wrong.Simon proved to be much more of a man than Kamina.And Kamina’s death only made the show more interesting.

There were quite a number of epic scenes so far,such as the one with Kamina dying after defeating a beastman commander,as well as the part with Simon drilling a hole through Lord Genome.The 2 mentioned are my favourites so far.

The artwork for this series is also kind of unique,and does not really rely much on CGI despite it being a mecha series. Oh,and the mecha designs are pretty unique,which increases my liking for it.After all,no one wants to see gundam-looking mecha in a non-gundam anime.
