Sword Art Online, Accel World, real life possibilities and controversy

If you watched Accel World (AW) and Sword Art Online (SAO) you must be familiar with terms like NerveGear, AMUSphere, Neuro Linker, Full Dive etc. This kind of concept is already started in real life like NeuroWear (a pair of wearable nekomimi twiches according to your mood) and brain-wave controlled robot as far as I know. In scientific view, this kind of concept devices is basically hacking into your brain; adding stimuli directly to your brain, phising data from your brain and also DDoS-ing (in other terms, blocking) your brain signal to your body. But the real current research still stuck only in one part that is receiving the data, not sending data to brain.

Before we go anywhere further, let's recap what AW and SAO is all about.

Malaysia's Bon Odori 2012

don, don, don!

With the event as listed before ends for this month, I want to highlight about one of the most anticipating event of the month which is Malaysia's Bon Odori 2012 organized by the Japan Club of  Kuala Lumpur and the Embassy of Japan in Malaysia in cooperation with the Alumni Look East Policy Society (Kelab Alumni Dasar Pandang ke Timur by UM I guess...), Japan Graduates Association of Kuala Lumpur, The Japanese Chamber of Trade and Industry Malaysia, Selangor State Investment Center Berhad and Tourism Malaysia. (Phew, that's a lot of sponsors!).

As this is the first Bon Odori I'm participating, I'm pretty much prepared for everything, from borrowing a DSLR, planning for transportation, financial budgeting to buying a second-hand Yukata to make sure that I will enjoy the first Bon Odori in my life. (Achievement Unlocked!)

Exciting Holidays Awaits!

Hey guys, I just want to tell you guys that I'm on semester break for 2 months from July until the end of the August and exciting event awaits around this period! I'm so excited about this, I wrote this log on 2 a.m. with a dizzy head. Let's go to the summary shall we?

Pepakura Weekend!

Yukkuri shite ne!

Have you ever wanted to have a figure but you can't because of the financial problems. Don't worry, you can make a  pepakura (paper craft). Basically pepakura is made from a hard paper (usually 230gsm) that later will be formed into a model.

Last weekend, I have made a Black★Rock Shooter pepakura (the pepakura template and instructions can be downloaded here)
Basic items that you'll need for doing any pepakura:

• Digital Paper of thickness of 230 gsm
• Craft Knife
• Cutting Mat
• PVA / white glue

5 Top Places That I Want To Go Inside The Anime World

Sometimes, I wonder if i can go inside the anime world, where would I go. While the anime world is an expanding world where possibilities are endless, there is a lot of places that I could go. After some inspirational moment, here are the top 5 places that I want to go in anime world:

More BLOOD!!!

Umm.. What a quiet and cool night. It's 3 o'clock in the morning. Writing blog with the windows open at 9th floor after watching some bloody anime sure to bring you some eerie feeling. I'm talking about a new CLAMPxBLOOD series, Blood C.

There so many fans dislike this BLOOD series. I don't know why. Maybe they find out that Blood+ is better and this show is just a crap (in this case BloodCrap). Then, they start to compare which is good and which is not, complaining about how bad this series are yet still watching the anime. However I think that this show is so great! Well, another great product from CLAMP in category super-complex anime. It keep my 'psycho' personality turned on. Basically, its blood everywhere and human extermination is so extreme. If this is a live-action show and the film follows the anime story line and extermination visual effect, you will be puked out by the time the film wasn't finish.
(That what she says)

OK, lets just go through to the synopsis. It's about a girl named Kisaragi Saya, a normal school student who have an super-body ability (i.e. agility, speed, fast healing) and have a sword (no name, just a sword and finally you will realize that the sword isn't important at all). She's being a student by day and killing monster by night to
protect the 'village' (and the village is evil, seriously). When she wanted to kill a monster, and at a certain rate her eyes will change to cat-eyed like, red color. The story line is somewhat average but I like the character design and the school uniform. (I think thats why Saya hunts monster wearing that uniform). Try to watch the anime and tell me your comments about the anime)

after a VERY LOOONG summer break~!

OH... HI!! long time no see eh... I've been in a long sleep so I don't post in that duration (really, my home have no Internet connection and I've kept forgetting to update this blog at CC).. For those who followed my blog....

m(_ _)m ゴメンナサイ GOMEN NASAI~! (SORRY!!)

And recently I am registering for my Bachelor in Engineering (Bio-medical) at UTM full-course for 4 years and placed at Kolej Perdana (the most luxurious hostel in UTM Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ!! ) probably for this year only. So, the important part of why i'm telling you that where is my hostel is because.... THIS HOSTEL GOT FREE HI-SPEED INTERNET CONNECTION!!! YAY!!! (sry.. too excited LOL). In conjunction with that, i've been happily downloading so many anime that my internal hard disk was full with anime..
(￣▽￣)ノ yeahh....

But, still, my anime watching schedule is going on as usual and I want to conclude 5 (out of some) of the anime that i've watched for the whole summer (really? Malaysia doesn't have summer-lah..)

The Thing that I Can Learn from Watching Anime

Anime is not just some type of entertainment... IT'S YOUR LIFE!!

This is why I hate shifts.

1. War sucks.
2. You CAN have too many women.
3. Smart people wear glasses.
4. Music foreshadows plot.
5. The less you care about sex, the more opportunities you'll get.
6. (Inversely, the harder you try, the less you'll get.)
7. When you die, make a long speech, and don't finish the last sentence.
8. Snow means love.
9. The best teams come in fives.
10. In space, you can hear everything.

I'm not a Zombie!!

Yes, I'm NOT a zombie. And please, stop asking that question. It's not because I'm asked that question. It's because I want to introduce a new anime, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? [in english, Is This a Zombie? (Hell, NO!!)]. Starting with the main character, Aikawa Ayumu, he is a zombie, yes, a zombie where a dead people is resurrected but in the story he is resurrected by a Necromancer, Eucliwood Hellscythe (and it's a girl). Hey wait a minute.. Aren't zombies supposed to be the living dead with rotting flesh and mindless expressions, mumbling "braaaainnnnssss...". I'm sorry but your expectation is wrong. The protagonist in this story is a normal student. You may read the warning at the beginning of every episode that read as "the protagonist of this story is a zombie, please do not try this at home". Anyway, there is another character such as Haruna, a masou-shoujo (not a typo-error, pun of mahou-shoujo) with a pink chainsaw named Mysteltainn and Seraphim, a Kyuketsu Ninja (Vampire ninja?), and they are totally tsundere (fanservice!!). This four character mentioned are living in one house (totally comply to "harem" anime spec! XD)
