Change is Good

Well I had just finished a my dual Mikuru post when i realised there where too many damn pics. I know there's a way to shorten posts on the main page, but you might as well call it HTMHELL. I couldn't figure it out.

So I came across this and ended up erasing my whole post. >_< Here is my new addy:

Halloween

The official website for the new Halloween movie is up. Watch it here

Maybe it's out of the ordinary for otaku, but I love horror movies. From when I was a wee lad watching Child's Play and thinking Chucky was going to get me. To my more recent love of Asian horror. It's kind of a guilty pleasure, I guess.

Is there anything your passionate about that isn't the least bit otaku?

Ah, and don't forget Hostel Part II opens friday! Grab your popcorn or, in this case, pocky! ^^

Pumpkin + Scissors = ...War?

Pumpkin Scissors got mixed reviews from people, but I found it enjoyable enough. Undeniably slow and too many filler episodes dragged the series down somewhat. I did enjoy it's take on dealing with life post war. I just hope Gonzo releases that second season. I actually don't download a lot of anime, but something about this show made me want to watch it before the U.S. release.

When I saw that there where two versions of Alice coming out, I decided to go with the company I trusted more. Thus I bought the Goodsmile Company version. I liked the detail in the clothes and preferred her in this battle attire. The dual sword was just icing on the cake. (mmm cake..)

I'm battling a new camera so it may take a few photo shoots (8 at the most ^^;) to get the quality i'm looking for. All of these pictures where taken with no knowledge of camera lingo. I just used macro for the close ups. So if you have any suggestion, please let me know. I want to keep improving! ;P











Little known fact about Alice: she has three hands.





I dunno what I was going for here...


I can't find much to complain about this figure. The only problem I had was during the photo shoot. I went to remove her knife from the holster and the tip that goes in broke off. So I had to permanently glue the knife handle to her holster. Why I wanted to take pics of her with that scrawny knife, i'll never know...

Hi! I'm aka_ugly



And now you see why.

Anywho, just wanted to let my anime peeps know that im gettin serious with these pictures. Finally got a tripod & a decent lamp. All my pics on figure fm where taken with regular 60 watt bulbs. ><

Oh, and I also got Chise today. As you can see from the picture it is possible to undress figures with your eyes! Even when they're still in the box no less.
