Hi~ minna~! It's been a week since AFA ID , the second AFA held in Indonesia ended and I'm still feeling excited about it~! XD
So now, I would like to share you about my experience when I went to AFA ID last week. AFA ID was held from 6-8 September 2013 at JCC, Jakarta, Indonesia. I only could come on the third day because of... you know, school. I actually really wanted to went on the second day as well but I can't! TTATT
But I still glad I managed to come to AFA even tough only for a day. You know, I stayed there all day long~! From morning till night! So, this is my experience~!
The night before (the second day of AFA ID), I already prepared myself for the crowd that may be happen, because from what I heard, the second day was very very very crowded. But when I went on the third day, it was only a bit crowded in morning.
I went there on the third day (Sunday, 8 September 2013) with my sister, my sister's friend and my auntie. The first stop is Good Smile Company's booth. I really wanted to buy moekanji cards. When I was queuing there, the booth's staff have me to fill an questionnaire. They gave a a sticker afterwards. I also saw a cosplay team when they arrived at AFA ID for ARCC. But, when I reached the front line, I asked the boothkeeper about moekanji cards's price and I was straight out of the queue. The price was actually okay, but it's not health for my student wallet. Haah, I hope someday I can buy this...

A cosplay team arrived
AFA ID 2013 from above. Animax booth was near the SnK booth's photo corner
So the next stop was Animax booth where visitors could take a photo in a Japanese room + Hyouka background. I got an Hyouka clear file, free! XD (I went to this booth because I wanted this clear file, I saw many people had this when I was queuing at the previous booth). I saw an accident at this place. The divider wall (see the picture above) beside this booth collapsed! It happened because there were three children who leaned on this wall without knowing how light this wall was. I didn't know what happened after, but I realized this wall had been fixed later.
Then I went around the entire first floor. I found a booth that sold several BL (yaoi) doujinshi/book. I recognize one as Lelouch x Suzaku doujinshi. The book was a bit in a hidden place... hehe... But I didn't buy it. Not my OTP.
So I went around again. Then, I went in to a booth and bought a Domo mug and Kamisama no Memochou omamori. After that, I saw a Madoka Magica booth had a picture; Madoka and the gang with Monas (Jakarta's symbol building) in the background. I also took a photo of several cosplayer.
Me with Madoka Magica and Monas~!
Then I went to the ground floor where foods and beverages booths (including AFA cafe), meet and greet corner and non-shop/personal booths section were at. Many cosplayer were in this floor too! More than in the first floor!
At non-shop/personal booths section, there was many awesome fan art and homemade phone strap, keychain, pin, pillow, etc. SnK and Free! goods was dominating. What become memorable to me are when there was a booth that its goods was sold out, the entire section would congralute with applause and cheers of congratulations! And that was happened EVERY sold out that the booths got ALL DAY!
After that, my auntie treated me takoyaki. I was went to the meet and greet corner afterwards and there was a "Mini Game with Ying Tze, Angie, Clive and Richfield"! I didn't really know this awesome popular cosplayes but Angie were very cute in Sasha Blouse (SnK) cosplay!
From left to right: Clive, Angie, Ying Tze, Richfield
I heard the staff said that if I got a receipt from AFA Shop, I could have a chance to have an autograph of all cosplayer stars! And that means I could get Reika's and Kaname's autograph! I heard that announcement at 13.30 and the autograph session would begin at 14.00 and I hadn't bought anything fromAFA Shop! Crap! So I ran to the first floor, bought a simple bag and run again to the ground floor at a meet and greet corner. Actually at first I didn't really like the bag design. then I realized that I didn't bring anything that could the media of the autograph! So I used the bag as the media! Now, I treasure this bag very much, because there is Reika's, Kaname's, Angie's and Ying Tze's autograph! XD
I talked in Japanese to Reika and Kaname when I asked for their autograph and I also shook hands with them! They were very nice! I also talked with Angie (and shook her hand) and Ying Tze when I asked for their autograph! This time in English. And you know what? Kaname said "Mikasa..." when there was a girl that cosplaying Mikasa asked for his autograph! Kaname also hit a man who wore Titan mask TEASINGLY~! LOL~! This scene made more camera raised and fangirls screamed! Kaname was so cute~! Reika was also awesome~! They were amazing!!! XD
Reika and Kaname signing autograph
Reika and Kaname made a pose after autograph session ended

When I was lining up for the autograph session, I talked to two girls. They're also excited to met Reika (cosplaying Rivaille from SnK) and Kaname (cosplaying Eren Jaeger from SnK)! And one of them also love KHR like me!
After that, I had a lunch at the dining hall . It was aroud 15.20 that time. At the dining hall, suddenly there was a fangirl scream and guess what hapenned? Reika, Kaname, Angie and a cosplayer (he's popular too, but sadly, I don't know his name, he cosplaying as Jean from SnK) passed by the dining hall, NEAR to me for the lift! OMG! I was really expected to saw them again at SnK booth (photo corner) to took a photo af them, but I already saw them again! I didn't managed to took a good photo of them but oh well, I would see them again later at SnK booth. But... that was what I thought that time...
After that, I went straight to SnK booth to met my friend who was came too and for waiting for Reika and Kaname. I met my friend, but she wanted to look around. So while waiting, I took several photos of cosplayers who were posing at photo corner at SnK booth. They were very funny!
Rivaille (Levi) and Eren cosplay
"Watashi wa tsuyoi..."
Cute Titan!
"Titan yang Tertukar" (The Exchanged Titan)
(a pun of a Indonesian TV drama: Putri yang Tertukar, literally means The Exchanged Daughter)
Trio Titan
Don't fight Eren! Jean!
Sie sind das essen und wir sind die jaeger!
Me and my friend at SnK photo corner
I also took a photo with several other cosplayers. When I was talking with my friend, suddenly a man calmly passed by while calling someone on his phone. That man, wore a bra on his head. He, wore a bra, on his head. Very creative!
The creative man
Amnesia cosplays
Me and my sister with Mikasa cosplay
Erza, Lucy, and Natsu cosplay. Not so many here who dare enough to cosplay so "openly" like this
Is this cosplay from spirited away?
Me with Titan and his partner~!
But sadly, in the end Reika and Kaname didn't come. Later I knew from my friend that when I was eating at the dining hall, the cosplayers went straight to the SnK booth's photo corner even tough at the schedule they should be there in 17.00, not around 15.20! Even tough a bit disappointed, I still enjoy AFA. then I went to the ground floor again to bought an Natsume Yuujinchou pillow and I got a discount 20%! Yay!
At around 18.30, I entered the stage to watch ARCC (AFA Regional Cosplay Championship). Actually, I didn't know till that time that I could enter the stage area with my pass. But when I asked the guards in front of the stage area's door, they said I could go in! Hurrayyyy!
I sat on the second floor of the stage area because on the first floor was already full. the host was Danny Choo and a girl (that gain, I don't know her name). There was a funny moment, when Danny Choo called Kaname to made an entrance to the stage (lining up with the other cosplayer), he said, "My BL partner, Kanameee!!!" Then they made a good pose that enough to make fangirls screamed (including me). Hehe...
The judges + hosts, line up!
Aww, what's with that hand, Kaname...?
The ARCC participants were so awesome! The most interesting perfomance were from a team that have "a cosplay ride a cosplay" which was new and succesfully made a judge impressed, and a team that cosplaying as a game...ummm.... zombie...? Virus...? I forgot but they cosplaying a game that involved that words. The format of the performance was like in agame, they paused every change of weapon and moved again when the changing was finished! Wao~! It's very interesting and amusing! Reika (or Angie? I'm not sure) said that it remind her of her chilhood days~!
Cosplay riding cosplay
Cosplay of Hiiro no Kakera. His performance was very beautiful~!
Zombie... or what? Idk. What I know is this performance was amusing
Every three judges (eight judges in total) have to give a comment to every five performances. At the end of Kaname's comment, he said "Saigo no hitokoto, boku wa NO homo." ("And the last thing, I'm not a homo.")! I laughed so hard! And Danny Choo's reaction to this was made me laugh harder! (I forgot what did he say, but I remember that I laughed so hard! XD)
Unfortunately, I had to go home in the middle of ARCC, when I was outside, DJ Kazu who was performing on the outside stage was playing Secret base ~ Kimi ga Kureta Mono~! Me and my sister sang along it and I was waving my hands along the others while we walked to my father's car. But, I heard that before this song was played, some people took off their upper clothes when Free! anime song was played~! LOL~! Human and their antics.
DJ Kazu in action with the crowd (sorry the picture isn't very good)
The next day, I found out that kaname and Reika did a sassy kick live on the stage that night! I regret that I had already leave that time... TTATT
You can also watch a video (the same uploader with the video below) Reika and Kaname said Indonesian words such as "Dasar bocah" (Translation: "you brat...") by Reika, and "Aku suka kamu" (I love you) by both of them~!XD
And several days later, I found out that there was a Japanese man who lost his doll but found it again. he as very grateful and happy that Indonesian people was hepled him in his searching! I actually saw him twice but only from far. He handed out flyers to the visitors while wearing a signboard. Even tough I didn't managed to help him directly (I didn't even know, but I was curious that time), I'm so glad that he finally found it. He send a letter to Indonesia embassy at Japan, see this link to read his letter.
So, this was my unforgetable experience at AFA ID 2013! I'm really really glad that I came to that holy event for otaku! This is what I got from AFA ID 2013~!
My treasures from AFA ID 2013
Reika's, Kaname's, Angie's and Ying Tze's autograph~! XD
Thank you for reading and sorry fo my terrible grammar and not so amusing photos quality... *bow down*
I'm very happy that today (29/08/13) I can meet Mute-senpai~! She was already graduated from my high school and specially came just for trading anime, games, movies, and doramas (she did say that she also wanted to see the school)~! XD
I got UtaPri, Starry Sky, Dangan Ronpa, animes, and many more~! We chat till... about one and half hour but its worth a lot! I don't regret that I had miss my afternoon nap today. We sharing and... oh my God! I really happy that I was able to met her today~!
Setelah sekian
lama nggak nge-post, kali ini aku pengen nge-review tentang komik yang udah
lama aku tunggu-tunggu : Katekyou Hitman
Reborn! (KHR) atau di Indonesia
lebih dikenal dengan Hitman Reborn! saja. Posting kali ini juga sebagai Tanjoubi Present aku buat Hibari
Kyouya~! たんじょうびおめでとう雲雀さま～！Happy 10th Birthday juga buat m&c!
Serial ini
bercerita tentang Sawada Tsunayoshi atau biasa dipanggil Tsuna, seorang siswa
yang payah dalam segala hal, tidak punya teman, dan ditindas di sekolah
karenanya. Suatu hari, datanglah seorang
guru privat (Katekyou) bernama Reborn
yang kemudian mengaku bahwa dia sebenarnya adalah pembunuh bayaran (Hitman) terbaik di dunia yang diberikan
misi untuk melatih dan mendidik Tsuna agar menjadi bos mafia dari famiglia terkuat: Vongola. Tsuna merupakan
keturunan langsung dari pendiri famiglia tersebut, menjadikannya kandidat Bos
ke-10 (*a/n: Hihi.. kayak m&c yang ulang tahun ke-10! \(^A^)/) yang tersisa karena kandidat lainnya sudah tersisihkan. Reborn mendidik Tsuna dengan caranya yang
tidak biasa dan spartan. Apabila Reborn
menembakkan peluru Dying Will, maka kekuatan Tsuna akan meningkat drastis,
walaupun pakaian yang dikenakan Tsuna akan robek-robek sebagai salah satu efek
sampingnya.
Semenjak bertemu
Reborn, satu persatu Tsuna bertemu dengan orang-orang dan teman-teman baru yang
akan mendukungnya dalam semua rintangan yang akan ia hadapi dalam perjalanan panjangnya
menjadi seorang bos mafia. Sedikit demi
sedikit, Tsuna mulai berkembang menjadi seorang bos mafia yang diharapkan. Walaupun Tsuna mengaku tidak ingin menjadi bos
mafia ia tetap berjuang dalam menghadapi rintangan-rintangan karena
bagaimanapun juga ia ingin melindungi orang-orang adan teman-teman yang
berharga baginya.
Saat ini, di
Indonesia KHR baru terbit tiga jilid.
KHR terbit setiap sekitar sebulan sekali. Komik ini menghadirkan carita petualangan,
persahabatan dan perjuangan Tsuna dan teman-temannya. Walaupun mengandung banyak adegan kekerasan
dan terdapat beberapa fanservice,
komik ini dapat tetap menghibur dengan berbagai comedy yang diselipkan oleh
Amano Akira-sensei. Sebagai fans KHR,
aku menemukan beberapa hal yang menggangguku saat membaca komik ini,
diantaranya: masih terdapat beberapa
typo. Seperti saat Tsuna bertarung
melawan Gokudera, saat dinamit Gokudera terjatuh ia malah mengatakan, “The end
of me...” dalam bahasa Inggris yang terkesan belum diterjemahkan. Kemudian yang paling menggangguku adalah
panggilan Gokudera terhadap Tsuna.
Menurutku, lebih baik tetap dituliskan “Juudaime” daripada “Ketua ke-10” karena lebih enak didengar dan
lebih menciri khas-kan Gokudera dan untuk arti dari “Juudaime” bisa ditulis
dalam catatan kaki. Kemudian untuk nama
jurus, di jilid 1 TYL (Ten Years Later: 10 tahun kemudian) Lambo melontarkan jurus
untuk menyerang Reborn. Disitu tertulis “Electric
Cornado” , padahal sebenarnya nama jurus tersebut adalah “Elettrico Cornata” yang
berasal dari bahasa Italia yang berarti “Tanduk Elektrik”. Nama- nama jurus dalam KHR banyak menggunakan
bahasa Italia, jadi menurutku lebih baik lebih diperhatikan nama-nama jurusnya
karena selipan-selipan bahasa Italia juga merupakan salah satu nilai plus yang
dimiliki KHR.
Untuk saat ini
baru ini saja sih kritik dan saran dari aku.
Selebihnya sih sudah oke.
Pokoknya yang pasti, aku seneeennnngggggggg........ banget akhirnya KHR
terbit di Indonesia~! XD Begitu tahu kalau mau terbit, langsung menghitung hari
deh. Aku sudah cukup lama nge-fans sama
KHR. Fav chara-ku Hibari Kyouya~! Thank
you banget ya m&c!
Sedikit fun fact:
"Vongola" dalam bahasa Italia berarti "Kerang" lho~! Wkwkwkwk~! XD
Celebrating 5th Birthday of Kagamine Rin & Len (27/12/12)
Love you always my best favourite singers~! ♥
By the way, above is the picture of Rin & Len doll that i washed earlier. It's great to have them looks cleany and prettier in their birthday~~~ (❁´◡`❁)
Rejoice all Vocaloid fans (Especially Rin/Len fans)! I've just found "Synchronicity 3 : 巡る世界のレクイエム / Meguru Sekai no Requiem (Requiem of the Spinning World)" on wikia.
For now, there isn't any more/detailed information yet about the meaning or the story of this song because it had just uploaded today. The song's video is not subbed yet and for now my Japanese is not very good. If you want to know more about Synchronicity trilogy you can read the translation of Synchronicity web novel from http://synchro.ninja-web.net/here. It's already on chapter 3. If you know an other translations, do you mind tell me about it? And for addition, here's the 1st and the 2nd songs:
Looking For You In The Sky / 君を捜す空 (Kimi o Sagasu Sora) ~ Synchronicity 1 :
Paradise of Light and Shadow / 光と影の楽園 (Hikari to Kage no Rakuen) ~ Synchronicity 2 :
Requiem of the Spinning World / 第三章 巡る世界のレクイエム (Meguru Sekai no Requiem) ~ Synchronicity 3 :
Hope it helped you. Sorry for my bad grammar or typo or the other mistake in this post.
Thank you~! (^o^)
Happy Birthday Shinichi!!!! You're my first favourite character ever since i start loving manga and you still one of my fave chara and my inspiration up until now. Hope you can return to your original body and to your beloved Ran~♥! Hehe.....
This is the new game of Hatsune Miku that SEGA release on March 8, 2012 with price ¥ 6,090 . It's called "Hatsune Miku and Future Stars Project mirai". This game is different with "Hatsune Miku Project Diva" that mostly for PlayStation (PS2, PS3, PSP, and in Arcade is avaiable too), This Project Mirai is for Nintendo 3DS. If in Project Diva is use the real characters appearence, in Project Mirai is use the chibi version of Miku, Rin, Len, Meiko, Kaito, and Luka or maybe i should write the "Nendroid" version of them (any of you have their nendroidof this version?). I think this game is very cute!
This game is a rhythm game. For more informations about this game click here!
The opening movie of this game is "Yume Yume" sung by Hatsune Miku and a new song by DECO*27. This is the opening movie of this game:
I've just watch it with my sister! For me the first impression of this episode is unique, and cool. Unique because the first thing showed is about katakana's anagram of "Animation", that i didn't realize it until my sister explained it to me and several seconds later the words "Animation" just arranged itself (in the episode). Cool because Rock (Black★Rock Shooter) first appearence in this episode is cool for me (especially her bazooka). Ah, and Rock appearence is just like in the manga that i mention before in the last post, her twintails hair is short in the right one. Ah, and some main characters appear in this episode like Mato, Yomi, Yuu, and a girl that named Kagari (she pissed me), and theirs other self in Rock's world.
And the interesting one is the opening song (actually i don't know it's opening/ ending song because in this episode it used as ending) is sung by Hatsune Miku! The song is titled "Black★Rock Shooter" and created by Supercell. Here's you want to watch the PV of Black★Rock Shooter by Hatsune Miku feat Supercell:
So thats my report about my impression in the first episode of Black★Rock Shooter Animation! What about you? ; - )
I've just checked Animeultima this morning and found out that BRS anime is just update with English subbed. It's says "3 minutes ago updated". What a great day! For synopsis and news for this anime you can search in the other blog. But as you read in the other source, its look like that the anime will a bit different from the OVA. Is it will be a new story with the same concenp and theme or the story in this anime will follow the manga : Black★Rock Shooter - Innocent Soul ? I don't know, coz i planning to watch this episode this night with my sister. So i don't watch it yet! Hehe.....
Ah, thats right, this is the link if you want to watch the English subbed Black★Rock Shooter TV Anime. Enjoy the anime~~!!! \(^o^)/
Otanjoubi Omedetoo to my beloved Vocaloid: Kagamine Rin & Len! Keep on shining and wish you get many many fans so you're more and more popular! It's already one year since i became a Vocaloid fans because of a certain magazine (very thanks my magazine!). I get interested when i saw Rin & Len picture in that magazine and i fall in love with them when i saw their video. The video i saw is their song: Kimi no Inai Basho de or In a Place Without You.
This song keep on ringing in my head and then i realized that i have just fall in love with them! Thank you Kagamines! I wish you get more more than you have now, more upgrade, more fans, more good song, and many more! I love you~! ♥
Our virtual diva: Hatsune Miku, had just opened her official YouTube channel. It's contains about many official video that related to her. Like Vocaloid Concert, Project Diva, and many other videos. Check this out! ; )
Now, i want to tell you about two version of Vocaloid song : Boss Death. Actually, this song is sung by Hatsune Miku. But, i prefer Valshe's version (sorry Miku) than Miku's version. I'm kinda impressed with Valshe's voice and the video is good too. Here the video:
Hisashiburi minna~! It's been so long since i write the last post. This time i'm gonna tell you about the crossover episode of Gintama and Sket Dance. It's kinda unique for me that there is an anime episodes that really do crossover altough they are from different story and studios.
In this episode theres a character says about One Piece x Toriko (if i not mistake) because in Gintama . The anime episodes is created based from the mangas chapter crossover in the both story. In Sket Dance, this crossover is in chapter 180, but in Gintama this crossover is not counted (special chapter). Both Sorachi-sensei and Shinohara-sensei make these crossover manga chapters without checking each other and the content of the manga is overlapped each other (based on what Sorachi-sensei mentioned). So, don't think Gintama x Sket Dance manga will have the same story as Sket Dance x Gintama. Altough it's completely different story but it's still a good work, and you can find the "interesting" things in each manga.
Happy Birthday Miku, 31 Agustus 2011! Hehe, Miku's birthday is in the same month with me! Sorry i'm late because i don't have time to open blog these days. Ganbatte Miku! Keep show us the voice of future!
Sooo, this time is for Bleach!!!!!! As you know, Bleach the Movie 4 : Jigoku Hen (Hell Chapter) is aired in December 2010. But now, my long awaited movie is now out! Yay! Click here to see the RAW version because the subbed ar dubbed version is not aired yet!
Hello there~! I know this topic is popular so i just can't bear myself to write about it because Story of Evil/Aku no Monogatari is always make me cry (the song, fanmade manga, etc.). I really appreciate Mothy for this!
So, now we talk about Servant of Evil/Aku no Meshitsukai manga that serialized in the monthly issue of "Comic Rush" magazine, and Nekoyama Miyao doing the illustrations.Because many sites have post about this, i just load a video manga that match with the manga preview that i got from my senpai's blog (Thank you very much!). I watch this video several months ago before i know thats the manga! (fool me! :-P)
So, the video is seems to be the sequel of the manga. This is in Japanese, i found this at YouTube! Enjoy~!
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Soo~! That's what i've found, i wish someday i could read the manga! >o<
Because yesterday my sensei told an interesting thing, "Maybe any of you know Kokoro no Tomo? More of Japanese people know this Mirai e than Kokoro no Tomo ". Actually i know this song from back then when i was a junior high school student from my friend. But, i didn't pay much attention that time!
This song is tell about mother. And, my sensei is make me pay attention to this song for these two days! Good job, sensei! I like this song! And, Kokoro no Tomo is a popular Japanese song in my country that even my parents know this song (my sensei told that Mirai e is more popular in Japan altough). So, please enjoy, Mirai e by Kiroro Hehe....
