Random late-night rough translation
Rough trans of the short story Sally read for 11/7 SR recital
I did a rough translation of Yumeno Kyusaku’s short story entitled “Gacha gacha”, which Sally read for her recital for November 7th (Tuesday) showroom stream. Gacha Gacha – Yumeno Kyusaku The insects gathered in the grasses and began their discussion. One cricket rose up and said, “Suzumushi-san, Okera-san, Suicho-san. Please come closer. It’s getting cooler recently, so let’s do a concert and…

ポリスピカデリー feat. 初音ミク- Ordinary
"Goodbye, my beautiful longing." Ordinary - Police Piccadilly feat. Hatsune Miku
I’ve been casually listening to Police Piccadilly up until this one came out and became my Autumn song. It’s got some really nice and unique melancholic vibe going on and I love it. Listen to this amazing song: youtube and niconico 決まりきってた関わり合い 思い違い常日頃 優しくなった秋風は頬を撫でる Kimari kitteta kakawariai omoichigai tsunehigoro yasashiku natta akikaze wa hoho wo naderu I always get involved with false…

Me as soon as OP kicks in.
Damn, it’s been a seriously long time since the prequel TV series. Do you know how much I’ve waited for this?
THIS MUCH.
… although that’s kind of an understatement.
I’m a huge fan of both Negima and UQ Holder manga series, so I might go into complete fangirl mode throughout this article. So, what do we talk about first? I thought about dividing this first impression review into three categories that highlights this episode’s strengths and weaknesses. But before that, episode synopsis below. Let’s start!
Highlight and read at your own risk!
Years after the Great Magic War and the existence of magic finally acknowledged on Earth, Konoe Touta and his group of friends continuously pursued Yukihime, his foster guardian, to take them to the other side of the “tower”. When the seemingly effective plan from another teacher took a completely different turn, Yukihime’s secret about Touta’s real identity was revealed.
General Impressions:
Here I am, after 80 years: The anticipation
Watching this episode felt like reading Chapter 1 of UQ Holder all over again, with quite a few alterations here and there. But the changes didn’t matter to me because I was so impressed with how good this episode turned out to be. It was solid from flashback start until the ending credits to the point I was satisfied and proud of this fandom that I’ve involved myself in. The Negima manga series holds a special place in my heart (more than K-ON, I admit) to the point that I felt complete and empty at the same time when the original manga ended five years ago. I wanted to continue on my journey with them. I wanted to know what happened after the Great Magic War. I wanted to see them again… until UQ Holder came and answered all questions Negima has left.
Being as a sequel, it’s peculiar to see that one doesn’t need to watch the entire first season because honestly, the prequel was a downer and didn’t do justice to the original manga. Also, some of the events on UQ Holder won’t make that much sense if you only watched the prequel anime. I advise everyone to read the Negima manga completely just so you won’t be confused with UQ Holder.
To be honest, I feel like talking about theories like immortality and how does it feel like for this episode but I think that topic’s gonna pop out more in the following episodes, so I’m just keeping the hype going and talk about the episode in general. But, seriously. Yukihime has so far given us a perfect answer; as expected of a vampire who has lived for more than 700 years.
Touta Konoe and Yukihime: Animation and characters
I don’t think I have the right to say this since I haven’t completely watched the anime adaptations but J.C. Staff did a major step-up with their game. J.C. Staff isn’t the best when it comes to animation (in my own opinion, because I’m a KyoAni fag) but they’re quite consistent with most adaptations under their name that their own strength, with regards to animation, is their own weakness as well. But honestly, they didn’t really need to go extraordinary with UQ Holder’s animation at this point. Just something worth noting for: I’m glad J.C. Staff didn’t shy about detailing the violence and blood in this episode. Yes for no censorship!
As for the characters, I have no qualms about them because I think they’re pretty much alive and on-point. Also, no hair color changes and exaggerated character traits! Plus, they’re like carbon copies of the manga’s original designs. I love it! The voice acting didn’t stand out too much for me, they’re good but nothing exceptional. I realized Yukihime’s seiyuu is the same as the Evangeline from the prequel 15 years ago (yes, it was that long). Right now, I’m very much excited for Kirie’s appearance since she’s best girl and voiced by Kayano Ai, one of my all-time favorite seiyuu.
By the way, I don’t know what’s with me but the opening sequence reminded me of Working!! anime lmao the shapes aren’t even the same but the yellow is so misleading pleaseforgiveme.jpg
Negi Springfield: What to look forward to
Judging from the way things are going with this first episode, It’s hard to say whether they’d do a faithful (or even close to) adaptation of the manga or decide on an original ending. I get that the first chapter being entirely used for the first episode makes sense, and then there’s this foreshadowing of about two to three chapters going on with the next episode, but with no information of how many episodes J.C. Staff’s planning to make, you can never tell. Nevertheless, the website is showing a teaser photo of UQ Holder facing against… Ala Alba? If that’s the case, I am so much looking forward to it!
Verdict: 10 Chamo “thumbs-up”s
– It was a solid episode with little to no loopholes.
– Great to see Negi, Eva, and the 3-A students again.
– Opening theme OMG SO NOSTALGIC AAAAAAAA
– BRING IT ON, EPISODE TWO! BECAUSE I’M READY!
Next episode: You can’t hate someone you met naked.「裸で出会えば友達(ダチ)になる。」
Here’s a (random) slideshow of this episode’s screenshots!

This is not a “Guide to Wonder Festival / Comic Market” post. Close, but no.
I was planning to write a blog about my summer otaku event experiences but almost a week passed after Comiket and I can’t stop playing TS4, so I just had to do something about this procrastination.
Summer WonFes billboard at Makuhari Messe
About Wonder Festival – Wonfes
Having been around for more than three decades, Wonder Festival or Wonfes is best known for its massive toys and figures exhibition. Every year, Japan’s top toy manufacturing companies as well as huge names in the anime industry gather around to showcase hot and upcoming anime figures and merchandises Wonder Festival is also home to various independent toy makers, giving them a chance to showcase their works.
Wonfes is held biannually (Summer and Winter seasons) at Makuhari Messe in Makuhari, Chiba.
About Comic Market – Comiket
Entering its’ 46th time this year, Comic Market, or more commonly known as Comiket, is the biggest hobby convention in Japan, running biannually (Summer and Winter season) for three days (Fridays and Weekends). Comiket is home for self-published materials like books, music, softwares, etc., but also caters official publications as well.
Comiket’s venue is Tokyo Big Sight in Odaiba, Tokyo.
Comiket and Wonfes catalog books
Of course, you probably know about the stuff I wrote up there, but here’s something most of the foreign people don’t know:
Wonfes isn’t a free admission event – you have to buy the Wonfes catalog book. The catalog book double-serves as an entrance ticket and your guide map to the event! Cool, right?
Comiket is free. (Ay, so you know that huh?) Also, you don’t really need to buy the catalog book as there are hall maps all around Big Sight.
You can explore Wonfes in a single day, as long as you don’t stay around taking pictures of all the figure exhibits.
You can’t explore the whole Comiket event in a single day! No!
Follow up your favorite artists on twitter if you want to see them on Comiket. You don’t want to miss them by coming in the wrong day!
Don’t worry if you’re a foreigner who can’t speak/understand Japanese, because there are international desks around the events where you can ask in English (or in your own language, if you’re lucky)!
July 30, 2017 – Wonder Festival 2017 [Summer]
Summer Wonfes was my second time to attend the event and the first time I attended during the Summer season. The catalog books are available in advance and can be bought in major anime book stores around Tokyo, so I decided to grab one to prepare for the event.
Map of Halls 1-3, where most of the big shots are.
I marked those exhibits I want to see the most.
Since I live really close to Makuhari (I can just literally walk from my apartment to Makuhari), I thought of not using the train and going to the event with my bicycle… which is a bad idea because it rained that morning! I took a bus instead to Makuhari Messe and arrived at the venue around 10:30-ish, only to be greeted by a very long line outside the event halls. We went a full circle around Makuhari Messe before eventually going inside.
And then my first Otaku Summer War begins.
Not the actual crowd. It was way jam-packed than this.
A few tips before going to Wonfes:
Make sure to charge your phone and camera before the event because you’re gonna have a lot of photography to do.
Summer events tend to be really hot and humid, so bring water / extra shirt / towels.
On the opposite, Winter events are quite cold, so wear warm and comfortable clothing.
There are food stalls inside the event, so don’t worry about food. Alternatively, you can also bring your own food inside. The konbini is your best friend.
Bring extra shopping bags with you in case you want to buy a lot.
Or better yet, bring your empty luggage with you. (As the say, do as the Romans Japanese do.)
While at the event:
No touching of figures!
Show proper courtesy! Do not push in line or even try to squeeze in.
Most of the time, taking a photo of a certain figure will took you time because of the line. Again, show proper courtesy and wait for your turn.
Be considerate in taking photos, as there are others waiting for their turn.
Some figures on display around the event are marked with 撮影禁止, which means no photography. Do not take photos of those figures!
Do not loiter inside the halls. Ask the food stalls for trash bins or you can bring an extra plastic bag with you to carry your trash before throwing it in its proper place.
Segregate your trash. This is basic Japanese law and everyone is expected to follow.
There is a special stage event at Wonfes where seiyuus usually make appearances. You cannot take photos or even shoot a video while a stage program is taking place.
Good Smile Company and Max Factory usually has the biggest space at Wonfes, but famous toy companies such as Alter, Kotobukiya, and Sega are also present.
Here are some of the photos I took:
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
I had the rest of the photos uploaded on Facebook in which I posted as Public, you can just find them there.
Not only did Wonfes have anime and manga-related figures on display, but the event’s main sponsor, Prime1, showcased an impressive line of realistic scale figures of popular game and foreign comic characters.
#gallery-0-24 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-24 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-0-24 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-24 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
I was roaming around Halls 1-3 for the entire event and only got the chance to see the opposite halls around 4:30PM, right when people are starting to pack their stuff and sellers making discounts on their remaining items. After much inner fangirl debating, I only got one figure and that’s….
#gallery-0-25 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-25 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-25 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-25 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Shigure Kai Ni!!
I am not complaining, though; I LOVE HERRR (Next to WaiFubuki and Hatsushimo)
August 11 and 13, 2017 – Comic Market 92
For Comiket, I had to take trains and transfer at two stations before arriving at Kokusai-Tenjijo station, the main station for Comiket guests. It took me around an hour of travel, but I didn’t mind because I get to seat inside the trains. Albeit the light rain last Friday, because August 11 is a National holiday in Japan, there was more people than ever.
For first timers, going to Comic Market will be tough because of the huge venue and the crowd. People are literally gonna bump into you every time, but that’s fine. Usually if it’s your first time going to an event, you get excited and might want to see everything, but the technique to conquering Comiket is knowing what you’re actually there for.
Which comes down to the use of those catalog books. Like Wonfes’ catalog books, Comiket catalog books has everything you need to know around: full list of doujin circles grouped by the three dates of Comiket, a map of Tokyo Big Sight’s halls (West 1-4 and East 1-7), as well as a complete list of companies selling official merchandise. As I have said, you really don’t need to buy the catalog book, but it is always better to plan ahead for war.
Alternatively, there’s a free guide map of the West Halls, where all the official merchandise are. There are also maps pinned up around the halls, so long as you can read Japanese.
This guide map for the West halls can be found at the staff tables. They’re free.
If you are aiming for the East Halls where all the doujin material are and wouldn’t like to spend money for the catalog book (~2,000 yen), a good way to prepare is to navigate Twitter. A lot of doujin circles (some companies as well) use Twitter to promote their stuff. They add this information in their Twitter names in order; what day they will attend / location. For example:
@3日目東1-A62a This means that the doujin circle will be participating on the third day and their table location is at East Hall 1, A62a. (The doujin circle who was at that space this Summer was QP:flapper, just so you know).
More tips before going to Comiket:
Make a list of all the booths you want to visit beforehand.
If you’re going during the Summer, stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. For Winter, wear warm but not too bulky clothes because you’ll do a lot of walking. Srsly.
Bring extra towels with you. Never mind an extra shirt; you’ll need more time to spend around Comiket than going to the toilet and changing shirts.
Bring food with you, or you can just buy food inside the venue.
Sleep well the night before the event. You will need a lot of energy falling in line for goods.
Wake up early, arrive early, and head straight for the East halls first if you are targeting for the doujin stuff. Chances are the popular ones will ran out of stock before 1PM. (That happened to me huhuhu)
Bring shopping bags with you (or you can buy the official Comiket huge bag for 1000 yen).
This year’s shopping bag design for Summer Comiket.
What to remember when at the event:
Always keep you things in check! Japan is generally a safe place but there are still instances of losing stuff in a huge crowd like Comiket.
Patiently wait in line for the goods. You will get your turn soon.
Watch out for free stuff! Companies and other doujin circles sometimes give extra items so try to keep an eye on your surroundings.
Throw your trash properly. Separate plastic bags, papers, and PET bottles.
Can’t understand Japanese? Look for the International Help Desk at the 2nd floor of the East hall!
I only attended days one and three for Comiket. I would have loved to go to day two as well, but I too tired from walking and carrying stuff on first day, plus my allowance won’t let me.
Main reason for attending day one – TOKOTOKO CDS!
I didn’t get to take a lot of photos for Comiket because it was super crowded you can’t just stay put on a certain area to take a picture without people bumping you from both sides. I just took what I can and went ahead to explore.

Fate/Grand Order was a huge hit even at Comiket, so there were tall prints around the West halls for the FGO girls.

This is all that I got after Comiket. Most of what I got are for free, can you guess which?

For those who are planning to go to next season’s Wonder Festival and Comic Market, they are scheduled on February 18, 2018 and December 29-31, 2017. Book your flights now and remember to plan ahead before the Cold Wars.

Happy birthday, Azusa! (1/3)
Today is an important day for me as a fangirl, because IT’S AZUNYAN’S BIRTHDAY!!! I remember saying something like doing something “better” for this year’s celebration, but I got held up with school and work, and now I feel so ashamed as to not meeting my own expectations. Nevertheless, I did manage to get myself a few treasures worthy to add to my Azunyan collection. Forgive my small Azunyan…
