Continuing with the Chara Hobby coverage starting off with the wide angle shots which should give you a feel of what went on. Unfortunately my Xacti bit the dust and is permanently dead so I couldn’t get any video footage ToT.

Another useful Japanese word - Shinda (死んだ(しんだ)) which is the past tense of the verb Shinu (死ぬ(しぬ)) which means "to die". I used the past tense because I am physically dead and my soul is typing this entry as my body rejuvenates for another...

Useful Japanese word - Tsukareta (疲れた(つかれた)) - means "To be tired". And after a day at an event like the Chara Hobby 2006, one would say TSUKARETAAAAA! Dead tired but theres no rest for the wicked as I'll be off to Wonder Festival Summer wit...

Evangelion is still as popular as ever and here were the goodies on show at the TAF.

#v#project_blue.jpg#v# Project Blue 地球 SOS (chikyu SOS) was something that really caught my eye at the TAF - the fluid animation, character design UFO's shooting seven shades of poop out of earthlings done it for me. The camera work is quite wobbly...

Demon Bane originally came out as an adult PC game back in 2003 but since then has made it to books, the PS2 and now anime. The series features cute moe girlies and huge chunky mechas - what more could you want from an anime series heh? The anime ser...

Just about everybody I know who has seen Densha Otoko wants that figure of Mina. But how about a 1/1 scale version - or even a "live" one?!

If you enjoyed The last Exile then you would probably like the other stuff from Range Murata and there were lots of it on display at the TAF. Mind you - not all of these pics are Murata-sans work - this was all in the same booth.

Not sure if you are aware but Bandai and Namco have merged together to form a company called...wait for it...Bandai Namco. Well I suppose punters wont get confused. Anyway, Bandai did decided to show their face this time after their absence at the Wo...

On display at the Bandai booth was Strike Noir from the up n coming Gundam Seed CE 73 Stargazer - but being typical Bandai, they bring it out as a HG... WE WANT MORE MG's!

You now know about the new series of Witchblade coming out from Gonzo but you should also know about Samurai 7. They had a few promo movies of this running and I must say that its looking very nice - just imagine a samurai theme with mechas and sengo...

The TAF 2006 is open to the public tomorrow and Sunday - the entrance fee is [currency=1000] for adults, [currency=500] for students and its free for those over 65, press folks and people with guns ( just point your mean weapon at the entrance staff...

Production IG had some nice bits n pieces for Ghost in the Shell Solid State Society - I want those figures! BTW, Gonzague took some excellent footage at the TAF - check out the 7 min HD video clip! Its the next best thing to being there (without the...

#v#flv_ssc.jpg#v# Production IG was showing a short promotion trailer for the new Ghost in the Shell series - Solid State Society which I happily recorded for you ;-) The clip is very short mind you and shows bits form the first and second series to...

Just got back from the Tokyo Anime fair 2006 and I’m absolutely knackered. There was lots to see including the trailer for the new Ghost in the Shell series - Solid State Society (which I'm rendering now), Bandai had MG Gyan on display and other stuf...

Today we are going to take a look at some of the cosplay shenanigans that took place at the Wonder Festival. Most of it is really fun but some of it is...spooky. What you do is line up in front of the cosplayer and wait your turn to take a few shots....
