TAF 2008
More from the Tokyo Anime Fair 2008.
Starting with one of the first anime titles I started to watch when first learning Japanese 15-ish years ago - Kimagure Orange Road.
Just watched the OP for Orange Road below which brought back a flood of nostalgic memories. Could only speak a handful of Japanese words at the time - you know useful stuff like "this is an umbrella."
Goodies from Gamers.
Naruto goodies including some Mc Dees kids meal stuff.
Anime T-shirts. Reminds me that I need to work on a Mirai-chan T-shirt design.
More Naruto.
More artwork from Akemi Takeda.
The Ghibli booth didn't really have much to look at apart from these old econte.
Grave of the Fireflies - was too distressing for me to watch and stopped halfway through.
You dont need to touch the Death Note to see this version of Ryuk.
The clothing was pretty much spot on but the face...

Have always liked Lupin but have been seriously missing the past few movies.
And more Lupin goodies.

Not sure what this character is but its going "Gao."

More anime school ladies. Wonder if the teachers look like her too.
And this is what you get to make when you go to anime schools - Akiba Samurai. The mecha not looking like Gurenn Lagann at all.
Zettai Karen goes anime.
The Japanese word to describe emptiness is "gara gara" [がらがら].
Soul eater girls.
More girls ready to eat your soul.
Is anybody watching the new series of Yattaman? I dont see anybody blogging about it.

Macross goodies. Fell in love with Minmay again watching the vids at the booth.
Some cells from an anime thats on the tip of my tongue - name that anime.
Mesmerized by this painting.
Night Wizard which I didnt watch. Is it any good? I see nice girlies with weapons.
