Welcome to My World

It’s taken me most of a week to write this post but here we are. I’m posting all of my Anime North 2007 photos and as time allows I’ll add some captions. The event was huge this year and I wouldn’t be surprised if it had doubled in attendance.

Cosplay:

Models:

Some guy had his MP3 player and guitar plugged into a practice amp playing J-Rock in the dealer’s room. I thought it was a fun idea so I snapped a photo.

I believe the lens of my camera has finally come out of alignment. I’ll have to purchase a Nikon D80 to replace my crappy consumer camera which has serviced me so well all these years.

Well that’s it, I had a great time. I hope everyone else did, too!

Cosplay Frogger:

Some convention-goers are a bit nuts when it comes to jaywalking on a 6-lane road near the airport. This video might not be from this year but it illustrates the point pretty well. Thankfully from what I’ve read on Cosplay.com no pedestrians were hit in the two accidents that happened this year. As well, at least on Sunday when the torrential downpour came, pedestrians weren’t at fault either.

Bleach is an anime that has been one of my favourite shows to date. The episodes I’ve been watching recently threaten to make it the worst, however.

It seems that the manga has not caught up with writing new content until episode 110 and I’m still watching episodes in the early 70s. Let me tell you that around the time everything in Soul Society wraps up the story gets really, really awful!

It’s livable, I suppose but just about everything that defined Bleach as a series other than it’s characters are different. They go on a murder-mystery esque kick for a while until we figure out who a certain trio are an what they’re up to. Then we’re assaulted with a bad vampire story where the vampires are called Bounds (or bounto or something…)

I can’t wait to get back to the Bleach I know and love…

At least the ending theme is fun and not as annoying as “Happy People.”

Ichirin no hana is my favourite intro so far as well.
