NKDS

Ouch.

…

Last two pictures taken from Danny Choo’s website because his pictures turned out better than mine.

 Picture taken from Shoko-tan’s blog, because that’s the only way I can get this pic.

But hey, it feels good.

A proper report will be out when we finally recover.

Yeah, big size figure is big.

The whole of NK-DS, and indeed, most of our friends, will be embroiled in a giant battlezone in a few days time. I had bought this 1/4 scale figure of my wife in her bikini last week, but I held back from displaying her until today. It seemed more appropriate that we would seek the blessings of Fate at this crucial hour.

Soldier on and brace yourselves, my friends. The storm begins, but the finishing line is in sight.

Just needed a reason to post this picture of mai moe moe waifu

I cannot think of any other phrase buy “Many Bothan spies have died getting us this information”, or something along that lines. What we have got for you today is the approximate arrival schedule of the AFA guests.

This month’s issue of Comptiq comes with a very nice translucent pencil board, which I have scanned for this post. This month’s issue seems to concentrate on Circus. So if you like Da Capo or if you happen to think Nemu is your wife, you should get it.

Here’s what the magazine and freebies look like:

Here it is Gents, the moment we’ve all been waiting for so long, the sequel to one of the, if not best first person shooters the decade has seen. The unveiling of Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare 2. A game so mind-blowingly spectacular, that even Chuck Norris would have a hard time comprehending the vicious amounts of testosterone this game is assured to spurt all over the gaming audience for this, and most probably the next generation.

This video was posted on Youtube not too long ago, and it details the dos and don’ts of the maid cafe. The rules are pretty standard; we cannot take photos of the maids and so on. The entire video can be condensed into a simple message: treat the maids with the respect they are due, and you will enjoy the experience. 

NKDS is revving up for a increased coverage of AFA09, so expect to see a lot of AFA-related posts in the next week or so. Regular programming will resume as soon as possible. But surely you were not expecting us to ignore the biggest and best anime event in South-East Asia, no?

For the fans of Mizuki Nana and Shugo Chara, we celebrate Utau’s B’day today.

Here’s a sneak peek at what the stage at Anime Festival Asia would look like! Looks like its going to be at least four times larger than last year’s and a lot higher.

Just to note that the audience is there only as a mock-up and does not reflect the actual seating area. There will be seats for crowd control and a distance between the front row and stage!

AFA had another press conference today, the third I’ve attended so far (cool it fits right in with the D.C. III announcement!). Today’s press conference had 4 main announcements:

1. Finalists for Regional Cosplay Championship
2. Exclusive Merchandise at Akiba Town
3. Animation studios taking part in AFA09 Industry Showcase
4. Launch of new SANYO eneloopy kit

More details (and pics) after the jump.
