Gundam figure number 8 arrived a few weeks ago and after a few sittings I finally managed to complete it. Why did it take so long? Easy…this is my least favourite figure I have built so far, but more on that later. Gundam Cherudim was introduced in season 2 of Gundam Double O as the replacement...

A couple weeks ago I bought a couple books to help me in my quest to rediscover my reading mojo. I have been diligently keeping my promise to read more with my preferred reading time being just before bed. I have now finished reading Japan an Illustrated History and man was it a cool book! Japan: An...

My journey as a newbie figure collector continues with my latest figure being the Gundam Astraea Type-F. The Astraea is a protoype mobile suit used to test out technology and equipment for what will be used in later Gundams primarily the Exia. This is my first 1/100 scale gunpla as all my other Gundam...

K-ON! is one of those anime you end up watching after hearing everybody talking about it and seeing it being mentioned everywhere. I initially overlooked it when compiling my spring 2009 anime watchlist but eventually got caught up in the tsunami of hype surrounding this show and decided to get a first...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was my  most anticipated movie off my must watch summer 2009 movie list. After going into the first Transformers movie and being pleasantly surprised I no doubt had high expectations for the sequel. Unfortunately Transformers 2 wasn’t a movie I enjoyed very...

Eden of the East (Higashi no Eden) is the type of anime that I wouldn’t watch under normal circumstances, but after being recommended repeatedly by friends and then impressing me during the first couple episodes I continued to watch this series which is now at an end, well kinda, more on  that...

It may be piloted by a weird looking chap named Tieria Erde but in season 2 of Gundam OO Seravee Gundam the upgraded Gundam Virtue from the first season remained my favorite mobile suit in the Gundam OO universe. So it’s no surprise that I now have the 1/144 scale high grade model in my possession. Seravee...

Gundam figure number 5 arrived recently to ease my Gundam figure addiction for a little while. Exia is the main mobile suit from Gundam OO season one and the piloted by the star of the entire series. I really didn’t like Setsuna at first and didn’t think he was a skilled enough pilot but...

My Japanese drama plunge continues and my latest review is of Liar Game, the first Japanese drama series of the few  have watched so far that I am not so fond of. Liar Game is a a series filled with mystery, suspense, mind games, obvious and no so obvious plot twists, bad acting and a cute acting lead....

My Gundam figure addiction continues and this time I opted to take a short detour away from the 1/144 scale figures I have collected so far to a SD or Chibi model. I really disliked Exia in the first season of Gundam OO mainly due to the it’s annoying pilot (Setsuna). In season 2 I grew to appreciate...
