Well, this is a photo report from the last AX'11 day from me. The day started with Nitroplus And GoodSmile Company session where we were told of Black Rock Shooter game that is coming out soon. We also saw a couple of trailers of it. Also the old on...

On the day 3 nothing super exciting happened, aside from meeting another huge crowd of cosplayers and of course attending Culture Japan x Fakku meetup. Also Maon Kurosaki concert (no pictures or video permitted from that one, though).

Ok, here comes my somewhat late recollection of the day 2. Our day actually started somewhat late right at the "Last Exile, FAM the silver wing" world premiere. We shown up 5 minutes behind the schedule and people were already entering the hall from...

On the day 1 of AX'11 at Club Nokia was held a special "Battle of the Bands" event. That was tons of fun and they also had nothing against videography. Too bad I did not bring my tripod and a sound recorder with me as the video and audio would have b...

Ok, I finally got around to wade through tons of pictures I took on the first day of Anime Expo'11, so here they are. Not included is stuff from Battle of the Bands, video from it is in separate post here. AX was tons of fun. Now I just need to get m...

On the last day of AX'11 there was a charitable auction held with proceeds going to Japanese Tsunami and Earthquake relief fund (Japan Red Cross). Here are some items that raised my eyebrows for one reason or another. We did not buy anything, since w...

Just got from the Mikunopolis show. The first US premiere of "live" Natsume Miku performance and want to share some experience and see what others have to say.

BPS (which we already introduced here) finally found time to do a visit to ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) Supercomputer lab that was arranged at the SuperComputing 2010 conference. So here's a bit of pictures from the event.

Apparently it is a little known fact, but today (Nov 19th) is the 5th anniversary of VOLKS USA branch. This is a particularly important date too, since by existing statistics 95% of new companies fold before they turn 5 years. If you did not yet, it'...

It's this time of the year again, and all supercomputer enthusiasts gathered for SuperComputing show that was held in New Orleans on Nov 13-18 to determine who has the fastest supercomputer in the world. We decided to go too, and not alone, we decide...

Having spent week in Beijing recently we wanted to see what BJD stuff could be obtained there. Turns out just doing a goole search for BJD shops in Beijing would yield you almost nothing. There is an entry on Den of Angels with questions of the shop...

Ksusha is my wife, but she does not have an account and barely speaks English anyway, so I am acting as a proxy here. Also we had a new arrival recently, our secret project that we planned to introduce later after final completion, but since we need...

Today The Hatter has arrived. Even though he and the Queen supposedly departed on the same day from the same location, it should be understood that the poor Hatter does not have means for fast transportation like the Queen has. We did not realize tha...

Today after a long wait The Red Queen finally arrived to our modest apartment.

One bright sunny Sunday we decided to visit Harajuku. Having heard some thing about their distinct street fashion and stuff, we were pretty interested. Full report in my blog.

Actually spent some time in the photo corner at the dolpa on the day 2 mostly with our dolls. Also was giving advice (unsolicited) to people that badly needed it judging by the way they were taking picture. I know this is probably rude, but hope I st...

And the last set of photos from NY Dolpa 4, day 1

And the continuations of the pictures. Now that we are inside for the day two, should be easier to do ;)

So the continuation of pictures from NY Dolpa, day 1

There is an ongoing Dolpa in NY happening today that started yesterday. Probably about time to upload some pictures. Much more people than I expected for such an event.

Finally we were able to fulfil our dream and visit Japan. Also somewhat unplanned we were able to visit Tenshi no Sato in Kyoto. The reason for the visit was to check for some YoSD parts not available in other stores and also to ask some FCs-related...

Finally we got our Nanoha figure too and made our own photo review. In what seems a continued streak of bad luck Nanoha shipping was significantly delayed by Hobby Search "due to a computer glitch". Somehow most of the pictures I have seen ignored th...

Hopefully this is not against any rules, as this is even dolls-related. ;) The other kind of dolls. Just found today that the world first sex robot was announced which is a sort doll that can talk and move. Seems to be the answer to existing doll pro...

Since it is a bit too early for the Russian Orthodox Christmas yet (it's on Jan 7th), these are actually our New Year presents (also a bit too early ;) ), counts as Catholic Christmas though ;) (BTW it always confuses my Chinese friends that there ar...
