In the early morning of December 23, 2012, This is the last time otakus will be watching Sword Art Online. Having an unimaginable popularity throughout the otaku world, we are excited to watch the final ep (if it doesn't have a second season). Being online in social media gives me sneak peek shots of the raw episode, hating it so much--I log out my account before somebody spoil it. Yeah, We all hate spoilers, right? (though I am one of those who spoil "some" episodes to my poor otakumates hahaha).
I will not narrate the whole episode since I am too tired of retelling it haha. I will just have a review for the whole series.
The first arc has lots of impacts which make the viewers easily hook to it, "The survival game and SHIT JUST GOT REAL" moment made the plot really interesting to watch. Some otakus are gamers, so I think the writers and animators want an anime that targetted a certain market: GAMERS (check). The plot also has mix genre, so it is very suitable for all the ages: GENERAL PUBLIC (check). The second arc is a less popular (i think). Most of the viewer's think that the first arc is better than Alfheim Online. Though the avatars in ALO is much better and I also love the bond of Leafa-chan and Kirito-kun (shipping this pair haha). Honestly, the AsunaKirito pairing is kinda doze me off many times (don't hate me for that haha).
Hahaa all in all, SAO really caught the hearts of the fans around the globe and in my personal opinion, I think having a second season of this is not a bad idea. Surely, fans want it! duh? (but meh...i think it's enough for 25 episodes).

one by one~
This season's anime series are starting to end, having a half in a usual anime series (having 12-13 episodes). It kinda makes me feel sad coz some of it are too good and deserves to have a 25-episode run (well it's really up to the japanese animation studios)
 |
| Why? WHY IT ENDED SO SOON?! |
 |
| TAKE BACK MY PRECIOUS ANIME!! I WANT A SECOND SEASON!! (hope for otakus--season 2 LOL) |
BTOOOM is over~ *cries
At first, I thought it is the same plot as Sword Art Online (the game becomes real or should I say "Shit just got serious") but I was wrong. I think that this series are far more better than SAO (though SAO is a great anime too). But BTOOOM! has this epicly done animation and so much character diversities going on, which really caught my attention. Every week's episode is really a cliff hanger and never fail to amuse me. I think this series isn't really loud as SAO but I must say it's one of the best plots I've watched.

| Kanata Hongo (Sakamoto Ryouta seiyuu) |
One of the reasons I watched this because the seiyuu of the main protagonist Sakamoto Ryouta is KANATA HONGO, my favorite Jap actor and celebrity crush (haahaha). Some of his acting roles are Ryoma Echizen (Prince of Tennis Live Action Movie), Gaku Izumi (Yankee-kun to Megane-chan), Joichiro Nishi (GANTZ), Moriguchi Rui (Mirai Nikki Live Action), Riku Okamoto (Seigi no Mikata) etc. BEing able to penetrate another field is just plain awesome, I hope he can voice more anime in the future (and of course, I will support it haha) .

7th Christmas Toy Fair (Xmas Toycon)
wahow!!
I went in this event with my niece, Mi-chan. I'm kinda happy when her dad approves her to come. And also we have an exchange gift too (between otakus hahah).
Inside the event hall, I can't get a grip on where to start...I never expected many merchandise though, demo machiga tte masu!! Ureshii katta!! But since I'm broke, I only manage to buy cheap merch but I'm satisfied because I found my hasubandos and OTP characters hahaha...
Even though I didn't bought an anime figure, I still enjoy this event. Hmmmmm how about cosplayers?
Yeah, there's a cosplay competition. And cosplayers are roaming inside and outside the event hall. I have my camera (fully charged, with extra battery and memory card) but we didn't take pics hahaha.
I grew tired of taking pics of cosplayers, unless it's so good and she/he cosplays my fave character.
This time, I only decided to take Okumura Yukio cosplay (since he's so cool and I really love yukio)
By the time when I got my senses back, I recognized his face and YAPPARI!!! He is my cosplayer friend in facebook. Hahaha though we aren't close in real life, I remember his face. Anyway, he is an awesome cosplayer and I admire his other cosplays too.
THE SEARCH FOR "HIM"
Before my fangirling to Yukio, We are searching for a certain cosplayer who really resembles Reishi Munakata (we saw him in his casual clothes but we can tell that HE IS Reishi!! LOL). After less an hour of searching for him (effort!! Mi-chan's a fangirl of Reishi...so, shikatanai)...we gave up and hope to see him again.
But I haven't given up, haha I found this photo in some (I really don't know where I got this) photo album of someone gone in the event as well. Well, we can rest in peace now.
I really thought he is fictional since he isn't easy to find..LOL

Animax Carnival
OK, so I did promise to have a blog about the event I've attended yesterday, December 9,2012--the Animax Carnival (here it is).
Hmmm, where to start...
The event starts at 10am, I got there 30 minutes before the mall opens. Attendees are roaming and starts to line up in the entrance of the mall while I got stuck in a bookstore (I have no idea that there's a line in the other wing). And some issues and commotions happened before the event starts but I don't let it bother me, I came here for fun.
After waiting for an etenity, the doors of hope starts to open. I run as fast as I could while screaming in my head "Faster! Faster! Think of the voucher!" Anyway, attendees should print the animax voucher to receive premium goodies during the event, it is limited to 500 people so I gotta hurry.
The event went smoothly as I walk in the arc event, I immediately rolled my eyes around and lined up for the game booths.
The whole experience is super exhausting, given that I got there early morning and ending the event almost 7pm. Animax is really generous when it comes to events (I got animax freebies in another event too) that what pulls people in hahah.
I really enjoy the event alone, I gained friends even though I only knew them in faces not names. OMG the dubbing booth is the best ever experience, I must say.
Congratulations, Animax Philippines! for bringing such an awesome event and hopefully it will happen again.
