San Diego Comic-Con 09

Posted by Randy Kasugano at 10:22 PM


ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
The only 4 days of the year where i leave my room!
Comic-Con is coming... Again..
I've been going every year since 1999 due to the convention center being in my backyard. Its like everybody came to my birthday or something. Which also explains all the free goodies. Last time i blew off $300 on-you guessed it, Anime and Video games. Which is fine because its very seldom that i get to blow off my parent's money like a madman (Which i'm very thankful for). But this year it'll come out of my pocket (maybe). The very pocket that I've been on other Comic-Con adventures with (same pants). But this year will be different. This year i'm mostly in pursuit of the hot nippon lady action.
Witches don't know about my
Gen Lai Sen
.


1. Find cute girl
2. Feed her the best Chinese food in California
3. ????
4. Profit!
Gen Lai Sen is a family owned restaurant with the charm of looking like a hole in the wall with the typical indoor/street vendor type feeling of China. I've been going here for years and I've got to say, those rundown 17 year old carpets make the experience 100% more authentic, thus Super powering your date with whomever you choose. But be warned! Don't buy take out unless it's necessary.
Buying indoors= 1.5 times the amount of extra food (THAT YOU CAN DOGGY BAG). ITS WORTH IT!. If you ever do consider this awesome award winning sweat house of child labor- (with it's own parking lot), then try out the Beef Noodle and Pork Fried rice. SHIT IS SO BOMB. Stay close to these mainstream dishes, i'd say they've had a lot more practice with those dishes than anything else. And the Veggie Fried rice is even better than the pork (Weird isn't it?). And that's not even the awesome part. The awesome part is you eating there after leaving Comic-Con. Its just a few blocks away. Small yellow building that looks wayyyyy out of place from the City College and skyscraper apartment complex across from it.

Now back to Comic-Con.
Heres my wish-list for this year;
1. Miku Hatsune Wall Mount PVC figure (as seen above)
83.66 USD -(thats actually really fucking good for the price)
2. Gurren Lagann limited edition Boxset.
60 USD
3. Tsukasa Hiiragi figure (seen on the right)
40 USD
4. G-Gundam Boxes 1 & 2
100 USD
5. Belphegor shirt
15 USD
^Those are just things that i want but wont guarantee it's purchase. If i do happen to get all of the above
($298) then theres a 80% chance that i would want to buy anything that suddenly comes up.
Like.. a bargan on Generation 1 Pokemon boosters, or Posters of awesome, etc etc. Maybe i can finally get that FLCL ultemate collection. Perhaps even the Disgaea art books.

Good bye North Korea

Meet your new daddy.
Oh you silly Nippon, You've done it again! Japan has a bid on the 2016 summer Olympics. And they need votes n shit from the International Olympic Committee by showing off everything they've got.. Not like they'll win by the vote. If Japan's efforts fail in making their docile actions please some votes, then they've got a life size 59 foot Gundam to win the bid with superior firepower (along with celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise). They've just finished construction on a RX78-2 Gundam (Basic, easy to make and oldschool) and its just sitting there in middle of Shiokaze Park at Tokyo's man-made Odaiba Island -ready to make the Olympic committee to piss their pants. Don't fuck with Japan.
So far the entries for the 2016 Olympics are..
1. Chicago (durr) for some stupid ass reason.
2. Madrid (Spain) Has fuck win culture
3. Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Has A huge statue of Jesus
4. Tokyo (hurr) Anime babes n shit

Honesty..
The weeaboo inside me wants Tokyo to win this one. THEY'VE GOT THEM ANIMUS, LOLI GOTH MAIDS AND THEIR OWN HITOMI TANAKA!
I could imagine their opening cerimony having Samurai bullshit and then to top it off, you have a Pikachu powered Gurren Lagann fighting Godzilla.
ANYWHO
If the Gundam fails to attract... Japan has another secret weapon up their sleeve...
Meet Tetsujin28-
Aka: Gigantor. He was birthed on October 20th 1963. And now hes a 60 foot statue! After 46 years the big guy is finally going to the big screen.



At 0:55-1:00 hes doing a Falcon Punch
I've seen Gigantor on Adult Swim a bunch of times. But i had no idea that he was blue.


Final thoughts-
It would have made more sense for Japan to make the Shining Gundam as it represented Japan in a world fight during the 1994 G-Gundam series

Posted by Randy Kasugano at 6:54 AM


Flogo is a foamy, helium-filled, soap bubble formation made into an image by being screened through a large stencil. In this case, a Kirby-shaped stencil. David explained that the event is being held to commemorate Kirby's 16th anniversary. We watch the birth of the first batches of floating Kirby clouds. Besides the pics, there's a solid interview

The dedication for the PMM was strong as they battled for sleep.

Battletoads avoided the attack

On May 5th, the Chinese locals experienced a major frog raid. They were seen traveling without fear of traffic as they crossed streets in mass floods as it meant nothing at all to them.



Many Chinese took note of the migration as a bad omen of a coming natural disaster, but the Chinese government told them that it was just a natural migration for the purpose of breeding. This calmed the people therefor no one took the omen very seriously.

On Monday, 12th of May, at about 2:45pm, central China region recorded a 7.8-magnitude quake which occurred near Wenchuan County, Sichuan province, that killed nearly 10,000 people.

Many civilian houses and roads were collapsed and damaged. In one Dujiangyan city middle school, 900 students and teachers were buried in the collapsed building, at least 50 were killed.

The quake was the largest the region has seen for over a generation. Strong enough that even countries like Thailand, and Vietnam felt the shake.

Many people are now calling the Chinese Earthquake Test Centers “useless”, as they were unable to even detect the earthquake before it happened. When they finally announced the earthquake had occured, it was 12 minutes after the disaster, and 2 minutes after the US had announced a large earthquake in China.

As for the Frogs and their omen of propagation, Chinese scientists stated animals have much better sense than human on detecting the natural disasters like this.

So much for “migration for propagation”.
