Having dinner with anime voice actress Izumi Kitta [橘田いずみ]. What is she doing to my Mirai-chan?! Photo taken on iPhone - bit grainy but managed to handle the light better than the Lumix GH2 ^^;

Only a few months after the release of figma Mirai Suenaga, the Solar Marine version is here! I knew figma's were released in the droves but didn't realize they were produced this quickly ^^;

Mirai Suenaga wishes you all a happy Halloween! This adorabe illustration is from the Moekana series and is actually for the hiragana "ho" [ほ] for "houki" [帚[ほうき]] which means "broom". Illustration is by Ikkyu-san. I've uploaded a version to Fl...

Update - just uploaded the HD wallpapers of this whole post over to my Google Plus account. Was out n about in Akihabara yesterday as I was speaking at the Tokyo International Anime Festival on the subject of the anime market overseas.

I had a vision the other day and I asked Ikkyu-san to visualize what I saw. The first vision was that after being figmatized, Mirai got her own Nendoroid.

For folks who have always preferred 2D girlies - now there is no excuse not to like AKB48 because they too are getting the 2D treatment in their own anime due out next Spring. The production has the likes of Shoji Kawamori involved too which hints at...

I'd be a meanie if I kept all of these goodies to myself so I thought I'd best share em with you - a bunch of anime and manga that fell through the ceiling. Thanks to Peter at J-List for dropping them through that hole ^^

Taking a gander at a load of anime wigs in a cosplay shop called Lovepop Studio. These wigs being an essential part of cosplay but what about everyday life? Me going bald but not bald enough yet to consider wearing a wig but wondering what would you...

Had the honor of being the MC for voice actress Miyuki Sawashiro [沢城 みゆき] at Anime Expo 2011 last month. Shes such a sweet lady! For folks who are not familiar with her work, take a butchers hook at the titles that shes worked on below - copypas...

I'm useless at keeping secrets for too long so might as well talk about it now. I'm working with anime production studio JC Staff to breathe 2D life into our Mirai Suenaga. This work will be for the opening and ending of Mirai Millennium which I will...

Finally got round to making Mirai-chan's Oppai Mouse Pad but I've decided to call this product a "Health Mouse Pad" instead. Was initially going to license this out for other manufacturers to make but I've always wanted to learn how to make my own pr...

As mentioned in yesterdays Oppai Day post, today is Pantsu Day in Japan. Reason is that 8/2 would be pronounced as "8" = "pa" and "2" as "tsu" ="pantsu". Sauce from Google sensei. Just thought it was important to share this vital piece of information...

Its August the 1st in Japan now which means its Oppai Day. The reason being is that today's date is written as 08/01. "0" = "O", "8" = "pa", "1" = "i" =total being "O(p)pai". And here is your sauce. "8" is "pa" because it comes from "ha" as in "hachi...

I was teased when younger for wearing glasses but it wasn't until recently when I discovered the benefits of wearing them. For starters, I get to see more because I've got 4 eyes - kinda like an insect. Another benefit is that I get to come up with...

Nao Shirahane (formerly known as DMYO) is another artist who I have admired the works of for many moons and was most pleased indeed when she said that she would do a doodle of our Mirai-chan. Shirahane-sensei has been an active illustrator for many...
