AFA 2011 Report [Day 2: The Masses Amassed]

It was Day 2 of Anime Festival Asia 2011 at Suntec City Convention Centre, and I'm stuck with a broken shoe, concert-hangover, and an unsatisfactory breakfast.

But truthfully, never felt better.

"Strike Witches The Movie" in 2012, "Momo e no Tegami" Too

Despite rumors of a certain calender expiring, fans will rejoice as 2012 will premier, not just 1, but 2 animated films.

EDIT: "Sora no Otoshimono Movie" will be this year (2011) early Summer on a nationwide roadshow.

濡れるツ~！Post

The latest meme to circulate BBs and forums has come in the form of "wetting thy self" in literal translation.
However odd it may seem, other translation options could not properly convey the feelings felt at that moment.

Took a look at my schedule and I won't be around for the last 2 weeks of September due to academic reasons _{(yea, exams. bummer >_>)}. I'll post all I can for now in this and the following posts to come during my short but well-deserved break.

Summer Wars! (サマーウォーズ)

UPDATED: WINS JAPANESE GOVERNMENT PRIZE

When timid eleventh-grader and math genius Koiso Kenji  is asked by older student and secret crush Natsuki to come with her to her family's Nagano home for a summer job, he agrees without hesitation. Natsuki's family, the Jinnouchi clan, dates back to the Muromachi era (1336 to 1573), and they've all come together to celebrate the 90th birthday of the spunky matriarch of the family, Sakae.

That’s when Kenji discovers his "summer job" is to pretend to be Natsuki's fiance and dance with her at the birthday celebration. As Kenji attempts to keep up with Natsuki's act around her family, he receives a strange math problem on his cell phone which, being a math genius, he can't resist solving.

As it turns out, the solution to the mysterious equation causes a bizarre parallel world to collide with Earth, and it's up to Kenji and his new fake family to put reality back in order.

Honestly, I had no idea what this show was about. No clue at all.
