J's Chimes: What If Animes Become Live Action

What if animes become live action? Well there are some that turns out well like Death Note to 21st Century Boys and Liar Game. Others may completely ruin the image of the anime like the recent Dragon Ball Movie and such. Often in animes that we got to feel the emotions and settings in its storyline but such is less portrayed in Live Action Drama Series to Movies. So in the end animes are still the best... lol. Bet anime fans will say the same too...Source URL: http://maryelizabeth-winstead.blogspot.com/2009/11/

The next event to be waiting for would be the upcoming End Of Year Cosplay 2009. This time it's located at the National Library... Weird place for a cosplay event... Anyway, Yui Makino will be this event's special guest and her concert tickets are sold separately from the event. Dunno who she is?

J's Chimes: Regional Cosplay Competition

The Regional Cosplay Competition was held within the AFA convention and it's finalists includes 6 groups of cosplayers from countries like Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. The participating teams includes ST Revolution, Sakai No Gumi, 00 Emotions, Houshin Engi, The Endless Illution and Witchblade. This event is the first in Asia and couldn't get any better to watch it live there. Videos by Hexlord and I hope he wouldn't mind me using it in my blog...lol.


First Team: ST Revolution
I do not know what anime this is from but this script is enacted well from it.


Second Team: Sakai No Gumi
From the anime Lelouch The Rebellion, the group plays a comedic scene of the princess selecting a knight to protect her.


Third Team: The Endless Illution
I believe this is from a game or something but seriously the costume is really detailed and nice. Though the fighting needs to be a little intense so that it's exciting to watch.


Fourth Team: 00 Emotions
The winner of the Regional Cosplay Competition. Seriously the Gundam looks awesome even on screen but the goof-ups causes a few problems here and there. Surprisingly it still didn't stop them from coming in tops.


Fifth Team: Houshin Engi
Really cute and interesting play that makes this team fantastic and nice. It's amazing how they could make the costumes themselves.


Last Team: Witchblade
One of the best cosplays I've ever seen and oh my... are they hot! Got a lot of cheers by the audiences and their script was good. It's a pity they didn't won the competition.Source URL: http://maryelizabeth-winstead.blogspot.com/2009/11/

J's Chimes: K-On! Live Dubbing

Unfortunately, no photography or video recordings are allowed for the K-On! Live Dubbing Performance on stage. So gotta show these 2 stuff I've bought only. lol... It was disappointing also that the voice actress for Mio is not here too where everyone is eager to hear. Nevertheless it was really fantastic and many audiences cheered for them when dubbing the comedic moments in K-On! Love K-On anime really much because it portrays that friendship is more important than work wise which most of of non-anime friends just didn't get it in reality. Watch the anime here and find out more...Source URL: http://maryelizabeth-winstead.blogspot.com/2009/11/

J's Chimes: Otaku's Otacool

Bought this book immediately on the 1st day as I step into the convention. Cost about SGD$29.90, this book was totally sold out that afternoon and glad that I've bought it.
