This Week's Updates

Hey everyone,
Last week was a pretty good week. I was accepted to one of my top choices for a university and received the anime that I ordered recently. ^_^ Finals are coming up in the next couple of weeks so this week is going to consist of nothing but review and studying, which is "always a good thing". In any event, the finals shouldn't be too difficult.....but I'm still planning to study for them. (every grade counts) I just can't wait for Christmas break to start.

As far as theotaku goes, I have finally after many, many months have posted the second chapter of Union Academy. Hopefully that long of a gap WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN and I will post up new pages every week. I plan to put up chapter 3 before the end of this week and will put up related fan art as well. Also, I am planning to put up a new design for this world, which should be done in the next couple of weeks, so look forward to that. That's about it for now.

See you guys later,

This Weeks Updates!!!!! (11/25/08)

Hello everyone,
I am SOOOO glad that I have a small break from school. Recently, it has been getting so routine and un-interesting that trying to listen and pay attention in class is like splitting hairs! At least I have this time to rest a bit and be ready to start again next week. In the meantime, I hope to put out the pages that I've drawn for Union Academy. In addition to that, I hope to put out a couple character pictures for the new fan manga that I'm putting out. For those who don't know, I posted a new....well somewhat new…fan manga out based on Takanawa-san. What I want to know however is how people feel about it and what recommendations they have. If you have read it, I want to know what your thoughts are about it and what improvements I could make. If you have a comment, feel free to place a comment on this post.

That's about it for now I think. On a final note I wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving. EAT AS MUCH TURKEY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!!!!!! ^_^

See you guys later,

Autumn Dream (Ani-Magic) Con Report

Hey guys,
I should have posted this weeks ago, but in October I attended Autumn Dream (formerly known as Ani-magic). This was actually the first convention that I have attended and overall I thought that it was a pretty good convention. It was held Saturday, October 18th through Sunday, October 19th. I attended on Sunday, so I wasn’t able to attend the concert or the cosplay contest, but I was able to listen to the voice actor panels and had the ability to look at the fan art that was on display in artist alley. Probably the most interesting part of the convention was the Kyle Hebert discussion. In his panel, he talked about his career, did a Q&A session and had people from the audience read voice actor scripts from Naruto. There were a few good ones and one was able to do a pretty good maniacal laugh. ^_^

The dealer area was pretty extensive for a convention of this size. Their were various booths that displayed a variety of merchandise. Plushies, manga, figures and everything in between, including of course the plastic swords and the 18+ hentai fan books. I managed to pick up a small figure of Nagato from Haruhi and a few posters.

The attendees were really great to meet and to talk to. One happened to complement me on my cosplay outfit, which was nice to hear. It was really fun when everyone got up on stage to dance to the music of Thriller and Rocky Horror Picture Show (being near Halloween and all). Some got really into it and did solo dances.

So in all it was a pretty good convention. Afterwards I learned a lot about what you should and shouldn't do at a convention. Here's a small list of them.

Do

- if cosplaying, have a bag or wear a costume with pockets to hold your stuff

- look at everything in the dealer hall before making a decision on what to buy.

- Bring extra batteries for video and digital cameras

Don't

- take other people's manga (even if it's Yaoi)

- have a swordfight (even if its part of an opening theme song to the series)

- buy swords (all sales are final!)

From a overall standpoint, the staff in my opinion was on the ball as far as timing and properly informed everyone of upcoming activities. The site that the convention was held was very well suited for an event of this magnitude and the dealers were well stocked and had a good variety of things to choose from. Overall I can say that if you are in the Los Angeles area when Autumn Dream comes around, you should definitely check it out. ^_^

On a final note, I actually recorded video of the convention and the Kyle Hebert panel and hope to have it finished and edited soon. When I do I'll post it on this page so everyone can enjoy it.

That's it for now. See you guys later. ^_^

I'm back!!!

Hey everyone,
After a very long break, I am back and ready to continue my worlds site. My computer had problems for a while and I finally got around to fixing it. I am soo behind on the new series. (I'll probably catch up when I'm off next week) Anyway, as far as my projects go, I will resume puting up new fan art and continuing my fan manga. Due to the break, I have had time to create several new chapters that will be posted this weekend. I also have a new fan manga that I'm working on that will also be posted shortly. It feels good to be back!

See you guys later,

This Week's Updates!!! (Part 1)

Hello everyone,
Well, I'm finally on break and I had a pretty full day. I was in downtown L.A. today and looking at sights. I was hoping to go to Little Tokyo, but unfortunately I ran out of time. Anyway, I am currently working on my fan manga and will post the next few pages when I return home. I will post my news article for the week in part 2. That's about it for now. See you later. ^_^
