As an addendum to my K-On! 05 episode review post thingy, I felt it necessary to divulge that while I very much Akiyama Mio, I really like her house. Can I have Mio’s house?

News stories are spreading like some sort of fire (a wild one I presume) that initial sales of the Bakemonogatari DVDs and BluRay discs have not only outsold the disastrous and missed opportunity that was the second season of Haruhi, but even K-On! In real terms outselling Haruhi didn’t surprise me, but beating the K-On with its huge impact on popular culture (sales of musical instruments, shimapan bowls and whatnot) was quite an achievement.

Singapore’s Anime Festival Asia 2009 has been announced for the 21st to the 22nd of November, in 2009 of all years. I guess it makes sense that it’d be in 2009 given the name is Anime Festival Asia 2009. Sometimes I worry that I could be too funny. I lie, I really never think that, and I’m sure you don’t either.
What’s epic about this years one (aside from the fact I’ll be back in Singapore at that time which means I could go this time!) is the seiyuus from K-On will be there answering questions and even doing a live dub!! What’s more, my spell checker is telling me seiyuu should be spelt seizure. I guess that could be seen as an interpretation of an expected result of this.
Anyone planning on going this year?

Enclosed above for your convenience and for posterity is my avatar on Twitter for one of the shortest-lived memes in the history of the intertubes in mid September. Lots of people had this on their avatar but I thought it particularly made sense on mine seeing as I was on a phone and all. In the middle of a canola field.
I would write more on this post, and I’m being told I’m going to be allowed to finish it, but apparently there are other bloggers who’s posts are better. To be fair, I’m not in disagreement with him. Because he likes fishsticks! Wow, two memes in one. Now that’s value for money.
In retrospect I should have used this super cute avatar of Yui instead. I’ve changed my mind, she’s my favourite character along with Mio instead of just Mio; apparently I just needed to watch K-On again to be reminded of her awesomeness. That reminds me, I still have BluRay episodes to watch and review. Take that lowly widescreen versions! Mua har har!
Ima let you finish. On a side note, when I first heard about Kanye West years ago, I thought his name was Kayne (as in Cane) West. True story.
