And just when you thought this drawing is R18, an artist works a little magic and changes it into something exceptionally amazing... Perhaps next time you could learn from him and do this to your friends too... They may be offended a little but will soon be awed by your amazing 'creativity'...

The next generation portable gaming console known as the NGP, will be the next new thing to be released by Sony later this year. As impressive as it is, the NGP comes wih analog joysticks just like the PS3 controller. It is also a bit bigger than the ordinary PSP and features more resolutions that brings about sharper images and gameplay. However, it is been review that such comes with a price...


The NGP does not allow battery changing and is sealed tight just like the Iphone. With its battery life of 4 - 5 hours , many were concern as it does not seemed to last really long as to compared with the 3DS which has an hour more on top of it. That means that for almost every trip out with your handheld gaming console, you'd need to probably charge it frequently and almost daily for that.


However the NGP does come with many new stuff from touch screen gaming and many more.... Perhaps a short video would describe much more than I could say. Whether or not this will take off successfully depends on how Sony is able to convince the public that its well worth it despite the minor issues being address...

One of the funniest Left 4 Dead videos around that will surely make your day. Through the many wacky videos posted in YouTube, this video about the relentless witch won the awards of being the most simple-minded of all. Being so would resulted in a catastrophic end worthy of laughing till you cry...

Apart from Illusion Soft, Eroge company KISS finally debuts a 3D eroge known as Custom Maid 3D. Somehow or rather, it looks similar to the title 3D Custom Girl but with additional modes as seen in the videos below. Trying to get my hands on it for a better review, other than that the graphics are somewhat astounding. What's even better is that you could customise just about anything you'd want. Perhaps a quick video would show you more...


Seems like the characters are completely customizable with this new game, eroges can't get any better than this... Remembered them being pixels and in 2D in the past but things sure change over the years...


My personal favorite would be the dance scene wich is so much like the Idolmaster style kinda game. All eyes will be on this game pretty soon because of it as Idolmaster fans will soon take notice of it soon enough. Gathering more info about this game so stay tune for more...

Just when you thought that this is good, wait till you see what happens next. Perhaps you should reconsider and never to judge a book by its cover so soon... If classes were like this, I believe many will fall ill real soon with such an amazing sight to behold...

Once again the popular Survival Horror game titled Dead Space is back with a second installment. More gruesome and intense than ever, Dead Space will surely make you scream and go crazy while fighting for survival. Released on the 25 Jan 2011 this year, Dead Space 2 features both singleplayer and multiplayer mode to fight the monsters known as Necromorphs.


Engineer Isaac Clarke returns in Dead Space 2 for another blood-curdling adventure in the sequel to Dead Space 1. After waking from a coma on a massive space city known as "The Sprawl", the lone survivor of a horrific alien infestation finds himself confronting a catastrophic new nightmare. Battling dementia, hunted by the government, and haunted by visions of his dead girlfriend, Isaac will do whatever it takes to save himself and dominate the gruesome onslaught.


The game's pretty cinematic and gives a great and deadly ambiance of the infested station that crawls with the many necromorphs that roamed the place. Not every moment is calm or a safe haven as the second installment releases more terror than ever before, leaving you at the mercy of those flesh ripping monsters. Dead Space 2 currently retails at approximately SGD$58 and above so you might wanna grab a copy because its a recommended game for this year...


Yup, whatever you might see here is the actual footage and gameplay of the game. If you have yet to know what Dead Space is about, there's even a recap mode in the game mode. Or you could even simply purchase Dead Space 1 and play it as it's now a platinum hit which is priced at SGD$39.90 each. You can also visit the website here for more info. Time to survive the horror once again...

A certain Japanese Advert for the McDonald's Happy Meal set that was aired in Japan became a sensation all for the wrong reason. It shows some kids turned hysterical over some Sponge Bob Square Pants Toys and scream for joy in a very exaggerated way. The advertisement is high in such a way that its excessive shouting and madness has been criticize by many people that it may well scare kids away from buying a Happy Meal and the product...

Japanese commercials are rather creative and comedic and tends to get your attention when you watch them. Some of which are so amazingly weird or does have little connection with the actual product itself. However they tickle our funny bones because it's amazingly hilarious and gets people talking...


Even Takuya Kimura is scouted for the Nissin cup noodle commercial. Has a little Indian touch to it and stuff. Singapore should have more of such commercials so as to lighten your day up...


Sometimes I wonder if its just the ice cream or maybe something else which is worth taking a photo... Perhaps both are good in some ways or another...

Tenga, A company that specializes in making its ona cups or preferably known as masturbatory products, decides to create their very own manga characters as mascots for their products. They even name them Tengirls and for some reason or another, it attracts a couple of attention and probably not many people would know what it is...


Tenga creates a character for each of their products presumably by their names and looks. For example a soft type is depicted from a lolicon character whereas a US Tenga is depicted by a strong women probably because of the products shear size and stuff...


And there's plenty more where that came from with the all new Flip Hole types in 2 colors Black and White... It's amazing how Japan could even turn a product like that into manga girls...


Still don't know what we are talking about? Then take a look at this video and understand what this is about. And if you seriously wanted to have a feel of it, I suggest heading down to Marina Square in a shop known as Cactus where products displayed by people are sold. Try playing dumb and ask what Tenga is to the sales assistants and see what they reply...

Strangely enough, Final Fantasy XIII is getting a continuation this year as announced by Square Enix. Despite the criticism about the previous game, it seems like they had decided to lay another bet which many fans doubt it would be enough to fully satisfy what they really want. The Final Fantasy Franchise has been wobbly these years due to the fact that the RPG eras have been long gone and FPS have been the hottest in recent years...


Despite all of that, a little introduction video of the new FFXIII-2 is not only visually stunning, but seems kinda fun in some ways or another. However, I would probably wait for the reviews and judgment first before deciding on purchasing anymore Final Fantasy series games...

Got a little bored with your Facebook profile picture? How about making a continuous banner of your photos that runs onto into the status bar on your profile page? Experimented it a little when I stumbled upon Youtube clip by accident that gives a tutorial on how to make these... Below is a short clip in which you can view and learn how to make this...


However if you do not have the photoshop software to make this, there are many other ways to make this too. All you need is MS paint and that's about it. (I did it using MS paint so you don't actually need something so sophisticated for your artistic work...)

It's kinda weird to have found out that there was actually a Japan version of Spiderman that was aired long time ago. What's even weirder was that in this version, Spiderman has a motorbike just like Kamen Rider and also a giant robot to control and defeat even villains just like the power ranger megazoids. Didn't know Spiderman was so much more high tech and rich the last time but what happens now? Spiderman can't even afford to pay his rents and depicts as a nerdy guy now... Nevertheless, this is a serious classic in which we could all laugh out loud...

One of the funniest commercial I've ever seen in regards to advertising milk. And with an anime twist, this seems somewhat more of a R18 animation than something pure. But nevertheless, it does grab the attention of people that milk is good... Yup, a little too good coming from something else other than cows. Even the farmers are happy.

It's finally here! Kimi Ni Todoke season 2 has finally been broadcast on the 4th Jan 2011. One of the most popular animes of all time that turned into a live action movie in Japan. For those who yet to know of this title, I suggest you watch season 1 first before looking into this. Anyway episode 0 of Kimi Ni Todoke 2nd season is actually a recap of season 1. But what's truly amazing is the brand new opening and ending theme which sounds so melodic and nice... A highly recommended anime this season.

Some fan decides to do a stop motion video using figmas, MMS and Revoltechs from various animes. Kinda comedic though as it looks as if some kid is playing with his toys with lots of randomness but in some way or another it seems rather unique and nice. It takes really lots of time just to snap and move the figures into place and perhaps this 'director' does have all the time in the world to do so. To watch more of his hilarious and awesome videos, you can click on here to view them in Youtube.

How would you like to see many different animes come together all in one into one flash animation? An amazing animation by go-devil-dante which features theoretically some famous animes you've seen on tv. Having said so, its a bit of BL content but the animation makes up for it as its transitions and quality is really good. Ya can visit his site at deviantart.com. For a higher quality version of this animation, you can visit the link here.

Sometimes anime songs touches your hearts too. There are animes that have a wacky and comical opening and end themes but amidst them all lies some of the best songs around in which you would replay over and over. Some of my favorites are listed below. Somehow it get you all emotional just hearing these songs and makes your heart all fuzzy like...

1.) Fortune Arterial Akai Yakusoku - I Miss You

One of my favorite songs this season. Perhaps you should try letting your loved ones hear it too because it's just so... ermm.. emotional... I loved how they make the background though... those pictures speak a thousand words...

2.) Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt - Fallen Angel

I don't really know why but this song gets me all the time and every time I watched this anime, I wouldn't skip this end theme. Sometimes, theme songs need to be this nice so that people would tend to appreciate it... Even though the anime might be criticized a lot for its artwork and stuff...

3.) Darker Than Black - Tsuki Akari

Soothing and nice song to end an incredibly action-packed anime. Though the background maybe a bit simple, it brings forth the calmness and ever so soft side of this anime.

4.) Angel Beats - Brave Song

Perhaps one of the best emotional songs last season is Angel Beats Brave Song. Every time it does make you feel like you gonna cry after hearing it... The song lyrics depicts a person braving through all odds while walking his path alone and he has to stay strong and move towards his destination. Very suitable for an anime like Angel Beats...

5.) Blassreiter - Sad Rain

Sad Rain has accompanied me through the tough times when I was feeling down during those days and it has always been a nice song for me. Sometimes it's weird to be hearing sad sounds when you're down but it really helps to get up up again and move on in life... Though the background animation wasn't as expected, otherwise this would be a nice emotional song...

6.) Fate Stay Night - Anata Ga Ita Mori

Goes without saying... Perhaps one of the best emotional songs in popular animes like Fate Stay Night. Keep your replay button going and you would get a little addicted to it... Suits for a sad ending for Saber...

7.) Kekkaishi - Akai Ito

Slow beat music couldn't get any better than this as it slowly picks up the pace... Especially the strumming of the guitar which makes it so irresistable to hear, not to mention the emotions the singer put into this song...

8.) Kimi Ni Todoke - Kataomoi

Can't find the ending theme video because of copyright infringements... In any case, Kataomoi is probably one of the best songs for an anime like Kimi Ni Todoke... I recommend anyone to watch this anime because it shows the slice of life of a girl who is all alone but slowly picked up the courage and pace to be accepted by others, with the help of a boy she so loves dearly.

9.) Maburaho - We'll Get There Someday

Quite an old anime but still brings back fond memories with this tune... Was serving the anime back then and began hearing these just about every night before bedtime... Reason being I'll really like to get there someday... and that 'there' refers to out of National Service...

10.) Shuffle! - Innocence

Sad anime + Sad song = Win. But perhaps it's still better to play this game instead of watching the anime which only tells a part of the entire story... And with a few twists here and there...

And of course there are still plenty of other amazingly nice end themes out there. J's Chimes will bring you more of the best anime end themes on later posts, along with some popular opening themes to current date so stay tune...

What better is it to play the anime music that we so loved on the Yamaha Stagea Electone. This first video shows a musician playing the all so famous music we all know in Macross Frontier Lion. One of the most amazing performance ever heard...


Perhaps one of my favorites would be Clannad After Story's Toki Wo Kizamu Uta played on the Electone. Well... that is if you could afford one of these at a whooping price of at least SGD$15,000. A mini version of the Yamaha Stagea Electone costs about SGD$3000 and similarly boost the same functions of the original.


One of the best ever music I heard would definitely be Lupin The 3rd. Looks difficult to master though... However with only the electone, you could become a one man orchestra right at the comfort of your own home... The fact that this instrument could actually play almost all sounds made by theoretically all instruments you could find...

Have you ever notice that some scenes or actions are similar to one another in other animes? Popular scenic views like doves flying into the sky or actions by characters are actually duplicated in such a way that either we did not really notice because of the different angles animators present to us or that our minds see it as a different anime altogether. But perhaps this little video best explains why anime has somehow been copied and paste over and again when animators are running out of creative camera views and ideas...

Back in AFA, Danny Choo presented his speech about Japanese Culture and one of the videos include an hour long programme directed by him was aired on stage. This is probably one of the most amazing programmes around and educational in some ways or another for people who wanted to know more about Japan. Episode 0 was loaded in Youtube as a preview for the other episodes to come and you can view it here below.



Danny Choo was probably one of the reason why I'd blog too. That's why I've always look upon him as a role model as he's able to make this passion of his into a job. Anyway, Culture Japan will be aired on Animax starting December so you might wanna consider subscribing to Mio or Starhub TV for that if you are really interested...
