Anime Festival Asia

@image ID#82683: You can never get enough of oppa-HOLY PIG!

I have a webcam, but never had the need to use it. Heck, it's still sealed inside it's packaging.. ^^'

Argh!!! I couldn't be there this year!!! T_T
Sure lots of goodies to see over there...

What was that you said about publishing some fan art? Didn't quite get who it was aimed at. I would love to do a Mirai-chan painting, i am actually thinking of ideas. But i have a lot of other paintings to do first. But i will put it on my list.

Awesome working environment for the like-minded ^_^

I like that Scandal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx4l7WERpRY wallpaper! They are from Osaka. ^^; I have been lucky with picking a larger size and having it scale well on OS X. Can't really say the same for Windows.

Very nice office! I see they have lots of great mouse pads. Yes, they do need more figures and a daughter to help them with their work.

i see some mizuki nana stuffs in that office, please tell them to invite her to the next AFA XD

Is that band Scandal?

Cute K-On art!

As for second season of Claymore, since they deviated from the manga at the end, it kind of stopped the flow of the story. I wish they had followed with the story from the manga instead.

i want to get the haruhi mouse pad~~ see you at afa!!

YUI Poster on image ID#82673

Looks Like Danny misses Singaporean Food ^_^ with all the Laksa , Char Kuey Teow and such .

Woah , Is that an Autograph from the Seiyuu of Mio on image ID#82691

Didn't know hackers can do that but I don't if the hacker would want to stare at my ugly face
all the time .

Mugi Tea must be more delicious than Mugi Beer

enjoy your stay while you're here ^^

Man, wish I could attend the AFA, but too bad I have to work that day.

Love that Haruhi mousepad!

Lots of K-On happening there.

Place reminds me of the Good Smile Company offices

:) Lovely office.
K-ON! stuff everywhere... <3

Sounds like fun to be there.

That is a very nice Haruhi mouse pad. Such a cutey! ^^

Also, that's a very good idea about covering up the webcam. Kind of a creepy thought thinking that someone could be sitting somewhere watching your every move. Especially if you have lots of tissues next to your computer. ^^;; >.<

Awesome shots! Looks like a fun place to work! XD

HOLY CRAP!! Pepper Project art book and that Drum machine girl!!

anyone know where can i buy that sheeps (see image ID#82671)?
looks like the ones from Gromit

Working environment is always important, good to see the Hawthorne effect in working.
image ID#82680
That damn lucky gundam.
Never realised some of those AKB48 girls were so pretty.

LOL! Kotonoha Mouse pad! "Nice Boat!"

WOW 3 Mizuki Nana screens?!

I want that Clannad mouse but its soooo expensive

My my, so many goodies lying around...and those pins of the moe moe kyun maids are really nice...

Danny storms into another office :P
Hmm.. so thats how the Sozo office looks like.

What a nice office to work in, Mizuki Nana is definitely hot!
My webcam's plugged into my old computer which I don't use anymore so no need to worry about any stickers being stuck on it ^^

Wow, that bit about the webcam... I'm going to have to stop sitting in front of my laptop fresh out of the shower. T_T;;;; Will have to put a sticker over it!

That reminds me, I'm working on a Mirai fanart~ computer doesn't like the file so it might have to be all traditional.

i want that haruhi mousepad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmm I should put a sticker on the webcam too ^^; Ganbare Danny! o_o

One more day!! Biggest problem is that I'd probably get lost on my way to suntec =x

oohh nice working environment, looking forward to see you at AFA danny :)

Glad to see you in Singapore! See you on Saturday :)

Nana and May'n ^^ <3 <3 <3

i can't decide whether to put kipi or mio as my wallpaper so i put kipi cosplaying as mio instead. ('~')

OMG is that a SCANDAL wallpaper? If so where did you get it? :P

that's amazing. i would love to work in an office like that! those maid badges are just the cutest! AKB48 was here in NY back in september for the NY Anime Festival, really entertaining group. Akimoto Sayaka is my favorite AKB48 girl.

the link to the artist of Pepper if you don't know yet =)

That would be a huge security flaw if the Apple iSight could be hacked into.
I put my faith in Apple. Lol.

why haven't i heard of this company before! they ought market themselves more in the local market!

I do own a webcam, but never used long time already, and lend it to my brother already.

2 more days to go, see you on this weekend :). Hope able to take a photo with you too ^^. btw, can I get your autograph for my otacool book?

No trooping for today?

Ooh, i cant wait for AFA. Lots of goodies to see and pick up. Hope to see you Danny ^^

My webcam came with my R2 unit. It was my faithful MacBook's (I call it r2d2 and have since I got it) third birthday yesterday. Have to hold off on its birthday pressie because of money issues but eventually the faithful astromech will have a nice phat 500GB or bigger HD. Video editing is hell on disk space. ^_^;;;

Hope that toe is better. I know I was flip and humorous about it in the last post I made but yeah, get it checked out if it bugs you.

Awesome pics!
I turn my webcam to the other side.
I know it isn't hackable (it's disconnected from the usb) but it makes me nervous anyways. :P

That band u said u 4gt the name is SCANDAL..lol..it looks veli much like K-ON! jt that they don't have a pianist.. XD

Going to put some anime goods in my office when I eventually get one. ^o^

Interesting article! Love the pictures.

>Do you cover up your web cam?
If my laptop had one, I definitely would cover it up.

Have fun at AFA!

Hope you are enjoying the wonderful delights of Singapore Danny! I'm bet your all tired from yesterday :P

WANT that Hojo Kuniko cutout. And those little Shaun the sheep figures are so cute! I have one exactly the same~

and about covering up your laptop webcam - I used to cover mine up too with a mini post-it, but took it off recently... after reading this article I've put it back on again o_O
I thought I was the only one who ever did that!

New Apple Mighty Mouse doesn't catch grime in the scroll ball (there's no ball ^^), but the two finger swiping motion left-right isn't something you would want to do very often (single finger scrolling up down is perfectly fine, though).

And with the Apple iSight, there is at least one company that manufactures security products that lets you remotely use it to monitor for intruders, so... ^^;

Those pig oppai freak me out! O_o

That sure looks like a nice place to work though.

As for the webcam issue... I keep mine stowed away since it makes me feel like I am always being watched. (Though, one could argue why someone would peek on a big bearded geek in a sofa... there are fetishes for everything though!) :O

I spy a Rei mousepad!!! I WANTS IT NAO! The Haruhi one looks nice too :D

I have a webcam on my laptop, but don't use it... Can hackers really do that??

Yeeessss Danny look at the Sinanju. You want one now. You are feeling a compulsion to buy more Gunpla! lol

But seriously, cool photos. Can't wait to see more!

image ID#82666 ~ Hahaha, nice Kagamiku Gundam Style.

Amazing office. Want some of those goodies! Steal some for me k?

Hope you have fun Danny! Also I totally do cover my web cam for the same reasons you do, but I thought I was just paranoid. I used to use just some paper and tape but I use my old flip phone now.

im so sad im gonna miss AFA ~_~

Only one person in that photo does not wear glasses
I turn my webcam off at hardware level - Basically disable the device in 'Device Manager' or use Asus's magical functions to disable it which does the same as if you were in device manager.

Their offices look quite bare... comparatively to yours of course ^^

Would love it if my future working environment is filled with my hobby.
I spot an Macross shirt...or is it not...

Looking forward to seeing your there Danny!

Apple's new Magic Mouse isn't too bad Danny but I should warn you that if your one of those types who like to rest their hand on their mouse then it isn't for you. The mouse is so slim that it's near impossible to do it. I'm guessing this is a design feature as resting your hand on top of a giant trackpad might hinder it's ability to function correctly? At the moment the mouse is limited by it's software. The multi-touch trackpad could do so much more. I bought the mouse as a gamble, praying that a Apple will have the good sense to let users do more with their mouse in future software upgrades. At the moment I am missing middle click and gestures to fire up dashboard and expose to replace the functionality of the previous mouse. The Magic Mouse is lighter and very very nice looking indeed. There's also something rather nice about stroking ones mouse to peruse DC.com especially with iPhone like scroll inertia which is perhaps the best feature of this mouse.

1 of them has big eyes. LOL....Enjoy your stay here Danny! :D

Favourite girl? Hmm... I'm gonna go with the girl in the middle row, right in the middle o.o
...Or top row, third from the right. Either's good XD

没得出席实在是我人生中其中一大遗憾。。。

omg those akb48 girls are cute. i'll take them all home!

That's a really cool office. A lot of K-ON goodies there.

Will be heading down for Singapore tomorrow =D

I STALK YOU IN THE HOTEL HEHEHEH
eh wait thats illegal D:
and i wish there was some sort of autograph sessions for the k-on seiyuus though :(

Awesome place, would love to go there ^^

def going! :D brought a bunch of friends along too =D looking forward to meeting u danny :D

I so want that AKB48 poster! I shall stick it on my room and stare at it all day XD

Aww Mah fav AKB girl is Chiyuu xD

Wants the badges and also the K-On merchandise!!!

I want to have this Clannad mouse. ^^

hoho, nice office!

woow their office is messy but a lot of awesome stuff there !! ^^;

I have been asking the same question myself "When will the second season of Claymore will be release?"

Btw, anyone knows who those 4 girls are?

Awesome place to work in indeed .... do they need more people? ^^"
yeah, Danny, see you at AFA!

I have all the Artbooks from IFS, but the Pepper Project is really the best one! I love it so much...

Shi- now that you mention it.. i better stick something on the webcam too ._.
Hmm, looks like i will be able to make it to AFA on saturday. :)

Nice little tour, Danny!

Absolutely fantastic. I can't make it this year, but I'm going to attend AFA in the future.

As someone mentioned, i think the bands name at image ID#82670 is "Scandal". They made "Shoujou S" which is one of the anime Bleach's themes.

are we going to have like a get-together and meet Danny on either of the days?

A nice looking place. Lots of lovely stuff, and people with good tastes. I would love to work in such environment.

See you soon!

I posted this farther up but in case you guys are wondering and want to look at it, The Band SCANDAL have a "Don't Say Lazy" cover on youtube in case you might want to check out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx4l7WERpRY

Seriously? Hackers can hack the webcam built into Macs? omg... thats really quite worrying. Big fail lol.

I want those badges... the badges are coolio.

I have a webcam built into my computer, I just don't have a driver or any software for it .___.
Clannad Mouse = WANT
I must find somewhere to get one.

If I ever get one of those notebooks with built-in webcams, I'd probably cover it up with a sticker as well. "You can never be paranoid enough." - A moral I learned from watching too much X-Files. ^^

LOL at the Mugi-chan barley tea. (With the tongue-in-cheek tagline "Mugi-chan no mugi-cha")

Hayz... Wish I could be there. Hopefully there will be TFS in Singapore in the future...

Does anyone have the SCANDAL wallpaper (black and white one)?

Would be awesome. :)

I have to give the 1st day a miss. Will be at AFA on the 2nd day.

dT.Tb

Heh I'm glad to see I'm not the only one being paranoid considering the webcams on laptops. I got two laptops with built in webcams and I got both of them covered up with a small piece of black electrical tape.
Paranoia FTW :D

A cool office visit ^_^

nice hotel room there.....

I also cover my built in webcam... we are all paranoid!

My favorite AKB48 girl is Yūko Ōshima, in yellow, first roll.

I would love lo listen to Mamoru Hosada!!

And you Danny, of course! ;)

I want to go~
but it's WAY~ too far...
macbook has webcam, but wouldn't you know if it's on or not?

IMG #82665 SUGOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want that one and that one...........ooooo and that one. IKURA? How MUCH?

It is possible to hack ANY webcam and use it without you know. I can think of at least two cases in the states. Always best to cover it when you are not using it.

All AKB48 girls are really cute~~
Funny to see the messy desktops. Looks like my own desktop. lol

I want to get one of the Hasbro Transformer figures!

Even mine isn't all that cluttered with stuff...
http://chusha.deviantart.com/art/Triela-Rico-and-Henrietta-141843695

But then I work from home...

i wonder what the cleaning staff will think when they see the stormtrooper armor and anime stuff strewn across the floor... maybe a huge nerd with too much time and money on his hands...

funny

Are people allowed to take pictures with you Danny? You know, at the AFA 09?

lol, i just flip the webcam to face the wall

I don't hide my built-in cams, but I sometimes feel like I hear them activating without my direct action. Eerie...

The group is Scandal!! I love all these 4 girls!

It's not paranoia if you know that someone is hacking of you ;) Any camera that is pointed at you on your private property (we have all seen the pic with the guy with the girl and the error message. etc..etc..) should be covered.. just in case. ;)

Oh and why is the claymore girl standing in a bucket :)

@#image82680: Gundam figure also taking a peek?

=O That Haruhi mousepad is winnnnnn <3

And for AKB48~ Yukirin <3 2nd Row, 3rd from Right

Is MACKIE　feltpen sold in Singapore?
(image ID#82672)

Is the name of that illustration book called "Lovely Pepper"? I'd love to buy that one to add to my collection. It it even out yet? I tried google'ing/amazon'ing for it but had no dice finding it.

Those maid pins are adorable. Also diggin' that Clannad mouse. Tomoyo is too fine. As for that second season of Claymore... it ain't ever comin', better just read the manga, its better anyway.

K-ON! goodies, Haruhi Mousepad, CLANNAD Mouse...
All of these and more were great, really, but what I still can't get over...
CUSTOM-PAINTED SILVER VOYAGER-CLASS MEGATRON!!!!!
That was the most-awesome thing I have seen this week, maybe longer...

I really wonder about those tissues....

Looks like a great place to work. (^_^) I can't pick a favourite out of all the women, they're all attractive. lol That band looks like SCANDAL to me, can't be sure though.

Bah, I wish the US would have Anime Conventions where I live. >.<

Could someone please tell me the name of that kimono headphone figure in image ID#82683
i would love to get one! :)

ムギちゃんのむぎ茶？　ほしいなぁ
いくらかな？普通の麦茶より７倍かも

great pics ...thats one great k-on art....although k-on ended a while ago and it was short but it seems that it left a great impact .....great figures by the way :) i wish i can get to attend such a festival

AKB48 poster WANT!
