Twitter out of captivity...



What can I say? LOL!

A Japanese journalist freed over the weekend by captors in Afghanistan managed to send two Twitter messages before his release while teaching a captor how to access the Internet on a new cell phone, he said Tuesday.

Gundam00 and AFA X


Wow I've not updated for a few weeks now!




Wha! Singapore is getting some unfair advantage that might cause non-sg fans cringe in jealousy. As if annual AFA (I think it should be called Anime Festial Singapore instead) held here is not enough, we have screening of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - A Wakening of the Trailblazer". "For the first time ever in Singapore’s history, you will be able to catch the same time screening of an Anime movie on the same day as Japan!" And from the same site, very likely "The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi" soon, too!

We should treasure this opportunity to show support, if we want more anime movies coming to our shores. When they(industry) sees a demand, everything is easier. Anyway, the promoter for this event is our poor ODEX.

In a way, Singapore is special. Only in SG would you find a company being criticized/slammed/received-death-threats/site-hacked for protecting its own interests. And the all pirates acted like they are in the right! It is like e.g. after a bank robbery, criticizing the police for violence/human-rights-violation when the bank robbers put up a struggle. I mean man, then what do you expect them to react? They bought the licence to the shows, and everybody is downloading off torrents. Irony that we are holding the AFA annually. HAHaha..






And more AFA X updates! Yoshiki-san really brought the whole JAM PROJECT here! The performing artists just kept increasing every year!

The pricing of tickets are out, and AFA facebook says it should be available for sale in a few days time. Time to go broke
