Nihon! Jinx!

Been awhile since i post anything.. haha , I blame work! :P

Working as a desktop engineer really takes the tow outta you sometimes(*more details next post!!)

as the title mentions, this few weeks of absence has been due to(aside from work), a sudden increase activity in Japanese Animations and sorts..(and work :D) Been watching quite a few animes over the weeks.. you can say it's kind of like a stress reliever....

i'm actually not really an anime guy,rather selective.. but unfortunately due to a friend's introduction and the fact that my lust for fiction runs deep in my blood..he open up a new world to me..hah..i've turned, though still alittle selective... for the worse, or better.. i don't know...

here's a list of animes i watched so far.. and my comments on it ^.^
(*this ^^ face is so not me...ughh..)

Black Cat!

Initially, i didn't really like this anime as i didn't really like the artwork, but as i watch on, i realize it was an action anime.. with humor, comedy and what sorts of nonsense in it, so from then on, i've got hooked onto it.. The Artwork grows on you as you watch it, the story unfolds and the humor gets.. even more hilarious :P, ain't that bad if you need a perk me up anime :P

Fate/Stay Night

Ha, judging from the amount of images, you can tell that i like this anime much, Adapted from a game..It comes with a deep storyline,multiple characters, intense plot, fanastic artwork, untold romance, and seriously, who can resist a heroine wielding a massive sword :P
Sadly, i never did have the chance to play the game.. it's in japanese.. and the english dubbed version is a pain in the a$$ to get hold.. ha..one of my favourite characters comes from this series!!! :P

Jigoku Shoujo : Futakomori

Ever feel like you want to get rid of the person you hate the most?? Now you can, with Jigoku Shoujo! Just access her website at 12am! Input your enemy's name and volia.. You'll be granted a straw doll with a red string tie around it's straw neck. One pull, and all your troubles are gone, but be wary.. While your hated one is being taken away.. your soul will enter a contract with Hell Girl, and you will enter Hell after your lifetime is up.. but hey.. thats till you die..and sides you get yourself a nasty looking tattoo :P.
The second season of the Jigoku Shoujo series, judging from what i watched, this season's seems to be much better, aside from the normal "Ippen Shindu Miru" scenes, there were also background stories about Hell Girl's helpers and how she become "Hell Girl".. insight on how the HellGirlTeam works...the main story though, somewhat repetitive was much easier to watch compared to that of the previous season, .. which was very repetitive.. and Sides.. Enma Ai's just have that killer look.. when she does her job.. she has this emotionless face..but, you can tell that she's just hiding alot of pain within her..just like some of us..i wonder.. ha..

i won't want to drag this too long.. so i'll just show one more anime on my fav. list :P haah..

Chobits

Chobits is, honestly the second anime i watched in my life.._{(First being, Love Hina. hohoho)} and i have to say.. i actually enjoy it very much, despite it being all Cutesy and stuff..though, there are some perv. moments in the anime..it is nevertheless hilarious, seeing the main character have a nose bleed every moment is certainly worth the laugh... but onwards to the serious stuff..this Anime revolves around Love, Issues of life and the borders of humanity.. i recommend you this anime if you like cute stuffs, a CLAMP fan (* Like me! ;p ) or have a fetish for robots.. ha..as i think it's an anime that targets a specfic group of people.. hmmm..

What would Chi do? Chi...

so.. recently i've picked up another hobby!!..
I'm not sure of the official term for it yet...
but i'll just call it "Figurine Photography", seems to fit in with what it's about...
Still Life Photography of Figurines..

so far.. i've only one figurine to model :P

"Saber" from Fate/Stay Night.. in a white bikini!... *drools...
it might actually seem perv.. but.. she's one of my favourite characters and it's actually one of the better looking Saber figurines in stock.... :P
and i got it cheap.. though.. that might be the reason why it's quite grime.. been on display for quite long, infact, i'm afraid it might be a bootleg version of it!!.. roar..

here are some shots i shot last night, ain't prefect.. but i'm trying to play around with settings and lighting..

Saber With Chibi Saber!

one of my favourite shots.. i like the lightning..but.. perhaps Saber doesn't suit this lightning.. she's in a bikini for goodness sake!!.. hah

Honestly, i think the shots were either mediocre or inferior..guess i have to invest more time and money into other figures.. maybe a new table lamp or two.. Camera lens would have to wait.. but.. then again.. it'll help.. :P anyone wanna donate to the "Helpthewilfredfund"? :p.. well, guess thats about it for now... tomorrow's just another work day! i'll see you guys around ;) cheers...
