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.

Still not too late to re-post this right?

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)

Japan Earthquake

Two weeks ago, Toukohu, Japan was been struck by a tsunami and an offshore earthquake caused by a 9.0 magnitude undersea megathrust earthquake. The earthquake triggered an extremely destructive tsunami waves. The Japanese National Police Agency has officially confirmed 11362 deaths, 2872 injured and 16290 missing so far. The disaster costs over 125000 buildings damaged, severe structural damage to roads, railway as well as fires in many area. To worsen it, the nuclear electricity generator, Fukushima Daichi has also had been damaged due to the earthquake and the radioactive substances is leaked to the area near the power stations.

Even though it is a little bit late,but lets pray for Japan for safety.

Fansub or Commercial sub?

Hey... We meet again on another post..The topic I want to discuss is actually have been discussed on The Star OtakuZone (anime/manga section that appears in StarTwo every two weeks on Wednesdays.) about the quality of anime commercials subtitles compared to the fansub (subtitles that is written by the fans itself). As an anime fan, I have experience both commercial sub and fansub. It is true that fansub are more sophisticated and comprehensive (they translate the speech, writings in the scene and have explanation for some scene) compared to the commercial sub. Post your comment at the comment box or the c-box.

Quiz, Test, and Exam

Posting [LIVE] from Perpustakaan Sultanah Zanariah, UTM. It's me again. Sorry for the late update. I'm busy lately with my exam and quiz around the corner, what ever the reason is I still manage to post some. (hee..)

Since I'm busy with my study, it remind me of an anime that is aired last year and managed to grab my attention. Its all about exam and the title of the anime is Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. A very funny anime filled with many "baka, baka" scene (yes, a lot of them) which delves around the student life at Fumizuki Academy with its one and only school that runs on a system called ESB and a harsh academically student sorting. The A class students will have the prestigious facilities (like snack bar, personal laptop and other thing that you can imagine to have in a class. Not to forget they also have a super large screen) meanwhile the F class students have no chair, old Japanese table and crappy class environment (later on the series they will only use a mandarin orange boxes for their table). The main character of the series is Akihisa

Shocking Discovery? Oh? I see....

Remember about the first post that i post? I did say that it is very few anime fans in my university (or sort of like that)... I was wrong about that! (which means good for me). I did made some investigation about the anime fans. My first discovery about this is when I went to dinner and I was siting at the table with my friends. Suddenly, the 'batch president' talks about an anime called Kiss x Sis with his friends. I was thinking that "kiss x sis? wow.."[with shocked and excited mixed up]. Next discovery was involving my friend named PG (according  to his IC), was asking for some recommended anime to watch and brought his HDD to copy some anime series. Now I know that they have interest in anime but they do not want to share their interest with others. Then, i concluded that there were many students also a fan of anime. Hehe..

<LOG>
OK, this week we will celebrate valentine's day (I don't celebrate that) and Maulidur Rasul (Birthday of Prophet Muhammad). I also will be going on a camp at Endau-Rompin. Yahoo!!

Since it's February, I want to introduce an anime that is about love, love and love (+ comedy). The title is Kimi ni Todoke. The anime was aired in 2009 but the second seasons is an ongoing episode (by the time that I type this, the series was on 5th episode on second season). Its about the main character; Sawako Kuronuma but mispronounced by her friend as Sadako (a character in horror movie, The Ring, and her appearance coincidentally was similar to the character) and a

Anime... IN HIGH-DEFINITION??

Even Barrack Obama like moe and chibi character watch
anime in HD...

Anime in HD? Is it real? Yes, of course. Since the invention of HDTV, Blu-Ray disc (barely can be seen in Malaysia) and HDMI cable the HD entertainment evolved our perspective of view in watching TV. Recently, i was enjoying watching anime in my HDTV. The picture was crisp and the sound was real. What an exciting experience! If you're a heavy anime downloader (i do not endorse this activity...) like me, (yea... who need BD?) you must be familiar with the HD video format .mkv (Matroska Video Codec from Russia). it can contain HD video up to 1080p, surround sound system and the subtitle that can be seperated (it also take space in my disk, any one? please buy me a hard disk? any size would be appreciated... ehehehe). So, everyone, come on to the exciting world of HD world. Any comment or suggestion you can comment in the CBox or just post the comment below (it much proper to use the comment box). watashi wa HDTV no daisuki~~!

Kanojo no Kimochi

A Naruto Doujin byTsuki Sakura (p.n.), Negeri Sembilan

“I almost drained my chakra practicing that new jutsu,” Kirei sat under a tree to recover herself. She smiled when she saw her ‘artwork’ on trees nearby. All has a burned hole on their trunk. Her skills on that jutsu were improving.

                SWOSHH!!

                Kirei saw two glimpses of shadows moving on opposite direction. One to her right and one to her left, were hiding on trees nearby. She pretended that she didn’t notice about it. Inside, she only thinks about two things; who are they and the safety precautions to take. She realized that no one can help her in the forest because this is her favourite place to spend some time quietly.
                STABBB!!

                A shuriken landed perfectly on her forehead if she didn’t dodge from it. Then, a barrage of shuriken barrelling at her. She quickly ducked out of the way. The attackers jumps out from their hiding place and released a trio of kicks and punches, each being blocked with high amount of
