O-Chan – It’s one of those days….

Ah yes, something us Ottawaians tend to dread, winter! It’s just one of those lethargic days were you don’t want to do anything at all. Seeing the constant rain and snow mix up. Well, who would be highly enthusiastic? Well, I’m all uppity, however…….someone I know isn’t. Since I now have a proper purpose for snow I no longer curse back at it…though, my photo-shooting subjects tend to disagree.

Renge’s Winter

Ah! It unexpectedly snowed overnight. I was simply expecting it to be extremely chilly with the freezing rain warning, nothing more. Though, without missing a beat, Renge took off to explore the new fresh snowfall that snuck it’s way onto Ottawa’s ground. I went to explore the scenery as well, as to show the second snow fall of the year.

Enjoy the images!

Naru2u – Anime convention Ottawa

Hello everybody! Welcome back to more Anime goodness within the nation’s capital, Ottawa! Naru2u was held at the Travellodge Hotel from November 12-14, 2010. The size ain’t that big for something that’s an Anime convention, though it’ll do for the interest level within the capital. I also managed to go to my second Anime convention now.

Awakening of a Fox Spirit – Busou Shinki

Similar to Benio’s and Kohiru’s “outdoor adventure”, I thought I’d do something slightly more “story-like”. I rarely added dialogue to my Figma/Grail War or other types of articles so I hope you would pardon any newbie like errors in this one. Also, treat this article as a “prologue” to the review (previous article).

Enjoy!

Busou Shinki – Renge – Type Ninetails

I acquired Shinki Renge – Ninetailed Fox Type – today (Nov 1st). I acquired Benio first, Kohiru second, and Renge now being my third. I originally hated Shinki’s at first thinking that they looked ugly and unprofessional. I later got to like them after getting to know them a bit better. The thing that we learn in life is to NEVER judge a book by it’s cover because deep down you’ll find some form of hidden beauty in whatever you’re looking into. With that brief bias aside, I also acquired bonus weaponry that came with Renge – Gabline’s stuff in blue with Renge’s in red.

Happy white (not so) Halloween night!

Autumn is quickly shifting into it’s final messy period. Plants are dieing, going into winter-mode, or simply letting go of their leaves. The winds are also picking up causing quite a bunch of leaves to be blown about. Anybody have a kite? It also decided to snow 5 cm the night before Halloween.

Trick or Treat! – Halloween – Figma & Shinki special

A few more days till Halloween! With the days quickly counting down to Halloween, my Figmas and Shinkis were quite estatic that they kept holding various meetings and mini-parties every few days. They ate snacks, fought one another, pigged out, and gained new gifts to use! Costumes? Sadly, none for all.

Sudden Rain Photoshoot – Benio & Kohiru

Ah, hellos again! I wanted to show you guys and gals some scenic images during the fall period in Ottawa. Some images actually containing fall leaves, Kohiru being kept dry, and a sudden rain. Benio and Kohiru also decided to tag along for scenic view. They tried their best to cope with the rain….

Shinki-Net – Diorama Studio

Diorama Studio is a more peaceful addition to the combat filled Battle Rondo program belonging to Konami’s Shinki-net. If you’re bored of getting you and your shinki’s pounded to submission then this might be the place for you and your fellow shinki(s) to rest. This studio is great forthose willing to hone or grow their photography and creativity skills.

Figma Saber Alter review & Kohiru photo-Shoot

Obtained Figma Saber Alter at my local Anime Stop today. Also went to my local Kiko Sushi Bar to eat out as I also planned out a figure photoshoot there in advance. Chopstick Kohiru joined me in some amusing photo-shootings as she attracted lots of attention. I hope you guys/gals don’t mind if I merge the review and Kohiru’s articles into one. Didn’t want to spam my own blog.

Sidenote: I’m not rich; it only appears as if I am. If I was rich I’d be constantly traveling the world :P.

Busou Shinki – Kohiru – Type Chopsticks

Another Shinki? Yes, another Shinki. This time I obtained Shinki Kohiru due to her high level of almost chibi (shrunk + deformed) like cuteness and because she would make for a great snacking partner due to her Chopstick affiliation. She also came with a “free” parts storage container.

Shinki Benio’s Outdoor Adventure

To give Benio’s her deserved respect here is an article for her ^^.
After acquiring Benios, she wanted to explore the vast and foreign area around her. With Benio being my first ever Shinki I thought I’d also assist with showing off how she articulates and the like in an outdoor setting. Feel free to consider this as a part of a review if you want.

Enjoy the photo-shoot!

Busou Shinki – Benio – Type Samurai

Busou Shinki – Benio. I acquired her from my local AnimeStop for $38 CAD ($44 with taxes). Poor Benio was stuck on the store shelves for many moons/months without an owner to pick her up. I saw her many times during the winter when I still wasn’t interested in them. I’ve finally picked her up during the same year, and before Shinki Renge.
