I would like to see them try… LOL.

The live drama is going to be epic if it can actually be successful. According to Anime News Network, a Taiwan Television Station will be adapting the Romance Comedy manga Hayate no Gotoku by Kenjiro Hata into a Life Action drama, staring the Korean actress, age 20, Pak Shin-Hye as Nagi and Taiwanese Actor, 28 ,George Hu as Hayate.

Pak Shin Hye as Nagi

George Hu as Hayate

Both are understandedly good looking, but they might be a bit out of the age range… If the director wants to follow the script loyally, which they will not. After all, the Taiwan stations are known to loosely base their production on the actual manga.

For example previous Manga inspired dramas like Meteorite Garden based on Hana Yori Dango and Itazaru na Kiss. While Skip Beat! the Taiwanese Live Drama named Extravagant Challenge is still in limbo about it’s production process…

Btw it now features the boys from Super Junior as Ren and Sho… Not sure about their acting thou…

I’ll be eagerly awaiting the product… lol

Tomorrow is the Gundam Fiesta, the 2nd in the series held at Compass point in Seng Kang, Singapore. It’s like a big road road but it will be featuring quite a lot of interesting things and offers.

If that is not enough, there will be a mega Diorama using the Sangoku Den’s SD characters. There will also be Dioramas made in Japan on exhibition at the show. The quality of the exhibits alone should be a draw to any Gunpla fans!

In-addition to the above, there will also be perfect grade show case and many other interesting stuff.

For activities to be done, if you are a parent really to corrupt teach your child,  the fun of Gunpla, then sign up for the Gunpla workshop. Or if you yourself is an avid gunpla maker, then take part in the meet and greet with Mr. Kawaguchi, the creator of the MG series of gunpla.

Of course… The most important will have to be the merchandise offer and the event exclusives. Take a look!

They all look so delicious to me, especially the MSIA Gundam Wing Custom Metallic version… No need to build, perfect for a guy with not much time…

I’ll be heading down to the fiesta tomorrow, but the fiesta will last for 2 weeks. From the 1st to the 13th of September, so do head down when you are free!

Satoshi Kon didn’t die suddenly like we have read on the reports but a gradual death. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in may this year and was told he will have not long on this world.

Before he left, he has written this post, which his family so kindly published for him, and translated by Makikoitoh.com. In it, he noted down his worries and what have been done along with the thanks to the family, other people and the fans. Whom have supported him during this painful 3 months.

I, myself will not be able to convey the same message effectively for I am equally touched and speechless by the end of the article. We have really lost a great man.

Without a doubt, I cried a little when I read the post…

The Japanese TV studios will be airing memorial tributes to Satoshi Kon thou his movies and works,

Fuji TV station will be airing a special episode of the popular Talk show “情報プレゼンター とくダネ!” on 31st August while Animax Japan and WOWOW will be showing Satoshi Kon’s movie on the 4th and 15th respectively.

A.C.M.E II – Big Success!

Yup folks! The A.C.M.E II is over, and I am sure a majority of the participants return home yesterday tired and happy. The event started way before the opening at 11am thou… The folks that started the queue at Sculpture Square will tell you that, with the first person already there since 9am on Friday, while the queue master is only supposed to be there at 8:30pm. I salute them!

“>

Nonetheless, the actual event starts at 11am with the hall already half full. The queue thou would continue to be long until about 2pm in the afternoon. I am lucky enough to be the last in the queue, yay!

Well at least I got to queue before it disappears and everyone is allow to buy directly… By this time, all the rare stuff are gone, don’t need me to say…

“>

The other booths seems to also have a great deal to share with everyone, Hobby Art Gallery for example is offering my models kits on discounts up to 40%… And that is amazing! Of the people from Comics Pandora have also prepared some event only merchandise, the mascot of A.C.M.E II Miru, in post card and Coaster forms, so cute!

I even got a set of the coasters.

“>

The volunteers from NUS together with employees of GF doing crowd control.

On the next building, The Card Geeks are have their games. The competitive aura there is so strong! Everyone seems to want to kill someone… They just want to win but for this rounds of competition, it’s a team competition. So team effort counts.

“>

TCG s even have a booth at the arena doing sales, selling WS and Victory Spark cards. They even have some Comiket 78 exclusives all the way from Japan.

Talking about competitions, we go back to the main hall where the “Touhou Hisoutensoku” tournament is going on. The prizes are from the Touhou Deform series, making the competition even more keen, attracting nearly a hundred people filling the hall to watch the games.

When I spoke to some of the booth owners, they have pointed out that their sale have increased compared to other events. Making A.C.M.E II a great success!

Now maybe I should do a post of what I have got. And maybe a simple giveaway, so look forward to it!

Before that, look at the album below and see for yourself, what have happened!

Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiyah Blu-ray and DVD will be on sale this coming December in Japan, and along with it comes a Limited Edition version Blu-ray that comes with plenty of goodies, these premiums will be demanding either a Hand or a Leg…

The limited editions are priced at a cool 10,500 yen for the Blu-ray and 7980 yen for the dvd… So if you have the money, do yourself proud…

But fear not! Amazon is offering 26% and 20% discount respectively, making it barely affordable… Visit the site to read for yourself the contents…

This would also mean that we are 1 step closer to the English Blu-ray release… For right now, no one knows if the Japanese version includes any English sub or dub…

Source: Temple-Knights

Update: It would be dumb of me if I haven’t expected it… But according to CDJapan’s product data, there will not be an English dub or sub in both the Blu-ray and DVD.

And CDJapan is now taking pre-orders for the Regular edition DVD, Blu-Ray and the Limited Edition DVD and Blu-ray, if you are still interested. For me, it looks like I’ll be giving this a miss and look forward to the Bandai USA’s release…
