Fran's Room
I only have a 2 new pictures of my roomI don't have the right camera lenses for the job. my room is extremely dark and extremely small.
* Name :Arthur (Fran)
* Age: 22
* How many years you have been an otaku: anime figures, hentai, manga otaku(25 months), music gear otaku(8 yrs), and car otaku(3 yrs, real cars, not toys). I watched anime since I was 4, and I do buy some mecha toys once in awhile back then.
* Nationality: Chinese (living in Canada)
* Outline of your collection : figures, trading figures, gunpla, old mecha, art books, magazines (anime, music, games, adult, hentai), some manga, DVD's, game consoles
* How much your collection cost : around $18000 CAD with music and car stuff: around $170,000 CAD
* Your fave item: Gurren Lagann chogokin
* Your website address: http://francast.wordpress.com/
* Anything else you want to say. Canada needs to be more open minded about hentai. The borders (CBSA) are blocking lots of hentai imports. Look at J-List, they don't send hentai to Canada anymore. Canadian hentai fans out there need to fight for our rights!
Very impressive. Really like the drum set ^^
But I still prefer for each figure to have its space, so that I can enjoy her properly ^^
Nice room!
thank you~
i would love to have the figures more spaced out i have to shove everything in one room.
Well, I think that I say that because I don't have that many figures ^^;;;'''
Completely understandable in your n all the other comrades' cases though~
someday, i will have a bigger house (dreaming) with a basement so i can have the whole basement all to myself for my stuff.
Yeah no Rock Band / Guitar Hero crap, the real deal.
But why so many Pikachus whhyyyyyy!!
not a big fan of rockband honestly. my wife bought it for me and i don't think i have played it more than 5 times.
pikachu is awesome. i bought them when i was in grade school! i was pretty happy when i got near collecting all 150 pokemon and than another 100 came out. i gave up right after.
It was stickers for me ^^; Got them all, but when they released the others I gave up
Looking at that michael Jackson shirt made me remember that he looked really damn freaky in his later years... Not really surprising that most pics of him used by the media in recent weeks were of his younger days. That face could probably scare little children!!
But why the new post? Must have been annoying having to upload all the pics again!!
And Rockband is awesome!!! Just make sure you have some mates around when you play it. It's not so great alone.
i thought i was suppose to make a new post wasn't i? my bad if i wasn't suppose to. rockband is alright, but the guitar is just too fake. i can't stand it. the drums are ok. i guess i just don't like the songs.
Guitar Hero is better? Didn't care too much for RockBand - only played it at a friend's house once or twice, but I maxed out GH 3
good lord no. Rock Band is much better than Guitar Hero World tour. Just in the way the game feels when it's played. Plus, it has better DLC (although GHWT does have "the touch" by stan bush!!)
Never played GHWT. I'm talking about GH3 and GHMetallica (played Metallica only for a little while in a friend's house) Overall I think they feel better than Rockband ^^
i like the japanese stuff such as guitar freaks and drum mania. i like the songs a lot better. dragonforce is cool though, but i can play it on the real drums:P
Well, if you've seen a live performance of the ong you'll know that what they want you to play on GH and on a real guitar are two very different things :P. Don't know about trums though, I only play guitar ^_^
hell ya. but dude, dragonforce really sucks at live hahaha.
The canadian borders are really blocking hentai imports? Do you mean hentai like anime DVDs or other types of hentai material? Not that I've tried to import anything hentai, but I find this a bit surprising. Maybe it's considered too close to child porn material if the items in question depicts young innocent looking characters in "illegal" situations?
I once saw a very shocking report on pedophiles on TV and they were showing how some of them use stuff like Snow White xxx remake cartoons to try to confuse the kids minds. That was very disturbing... I guess most people can't make the difference between regular cartoons and anime and they don't get the point of anime adult entertainment. Most people probably think cartoons = stuff for little kids, so they are probably confused as to were to draw the line. But seriously, hentai material is innofensive, just don't let kids get their hands on it lol.
I personally the canadian customs charge way to much taxes on EMS packages. T_T
You have a great room packed with really cool stuff! Have you counted how many figures you own? Looks like there's hundreds of them.
yea, look at j-list, they don't ship to canada anymore. obscene material is not legal or something here. i don't know a lot of detail about it. they pretty much think all hentai is obscene or something. it is pretty stupid.
i actually never got charged tax yet shipping stuff. only people who charge me is fedex.....
p.s i am not sure how much figures i have. i think i have around 110 figures or something. not including trading figures, model kits and other fun stuff.

>< Maybe, maybe not. Canada's not always as open-minded as we pride ourselves to be.
Very nice room! Did I see a Generation 2 Beachcomber Transformer?!?! ;)
yeap~! you have good eyes. got that toy when i was 6.
...are you The Stig...? XD
busted.
nice room, lots of goodies too! ^^
thank you!
my gf likes ur room cos everything seems reachable from the same spot! dig the MJ tshirt :D
hahaha.
actually, it is very hard to get stuff because there are lots of stuff on the floor. and if i try to take the books out, i gotta be really gentle so i won't knock any figures down. it really sucks.
i love the t shirt too. it's just so awesome.
I also hate Canadian Custom.....Lots of things can't be imported !
i am going to be honest. it is not too bad too here. i never got stopped for importing stuff. hentai is legal in canada. so they can't stop this stuff from coming in totally. you can still buy hentai dvd's within canada without hassle. even some stuff is legal in canada, but illegal if you import them from other countries. very weird.

I think I remember seeing this amazing room w/ the drum set in the giveaway. Nice to see more! :D
Is that an Aisaka dakimura I see over there? <3
thank you!
that's actually an exclusive Aisaka bedsheet that i got in the taiwan comic festival.
I am still rather amazed that you managed to fit a drum set in your room along with everything else! May be we are similar type of Otaku, I like everything to be within my reach :3
heh. it barely fits actually. the only cool thing is that i can turn around and play my drums.
Nice room. Don't too often see images of the anime/music/car otaku combo. ^^
Is that the Canon f/2.8 100mm macro lens I spot on your Canon DSLR? I just got that one myself, lovely lens!
thank you~
yea i agree, not much car/music/otaku's out there. i started with being a music otaku first then i got into cars right after i got my car. as for the anime figures and anime related stuff, i remember i saw a figure at my cousin's house and i thought it was awesome. fate stay night was on tv at that time and i fell in love with saber. then i decide to go to the store and pick up a few figures. i got addicted afterwards.
OMFG!!! Y love your Roland Drum... I have my drum too (Acoustic) but is too big for my room
thanks~
i have an acoustic kit too~ here's the link

I loved your room just for that Taiga's poster in the last picture. Each and every Rie Kugimiya's character becames an all favorite for me. I also loved your three Saber figures in the first picture. I'm still looking for them.
agreed~
yea those sabers are one of my very first figures. the taiga poster is actually a bed sheet.
Coo, I can see that you even have the orginal Mighty Morphine Power Rangers Mega Zord.
You play the drums too I notice. Very admirable.
Like your room.
thank you~
i got those powerranger toys when i was 8 or something. i am missing 2 parts i think.
ah man you have the original MMPR Zords... I was kicking myself... because I had the Dragonzord and Tigerzord but are now nowhere to be found :-(
Dope room by the way :-)
heh. i keep all my toys since i was born. i have 100+ toy cars and lots of baby toys too. sadly, some of my mecha toys are missing lots of parts. i am missing the light up chest piece of the dragonzord!!! if you have it, can i buy it off of you"?!!!!!
Also a fellow WoW player ^^
I'm looking to buy some of those glass display's as my collection grows. I love how neatly everything is organised and just how well what little space you have available has been used to good effect. REally nice collection too btw :)
thank you!
Wow, my room looks just like yours! ...Minus everything but the Razor keyboard, haha. Even then, I don't have the matching light.
You have a very cool room. =D
thanks~
the matching light came with the keyboard as a free gift. that thing is completely useless and it actualyl sucks.
Homg, the dark, otaku version of the Stig!! XD
Impressive room! I'm diggin' your luminous keyboard!
wow nice room ... abit ..... spacious ^^ haha but a roomms where you feel like home ^^ and can have acess to all your stuff so its cool ^^
:O I see Pikachu lol I wanna glomp them all. I see you're a fan of Saber and Louise? I love saber and Louise. Yet to get a figure of Louise for some reason. Epic room btw, for some reason I find cramped places to be more comfurting..? :P
Wow, very cool room..I'm amazed you have so much stuff and you're so young!
I smell a rock star (metal?)
