Happy new year everyone!

PO-HC Ozine Fest AFS 2013 Meet up

Meekly as the title says, this post will be solely about the meetup where we, the selected member of the "High Council (Reffered as Admins)" attends to.

First of all, this had been planned long ago ever since our first meetup on Best of Anime 2013 Convention held last October at the SMX convention hall at Mall of Asia. Meaning, there are a lot of *Savings* and Preparation going around for a number of months for the said meetup. Fortunately, we were increased by a one member of attendee than the last time.

The day of our meetup is also the same as a ongoing anime convention which is the "Ozine Fest Anime Figure Special 2013" which is a much smaller event of the Annually held convention in the Philippines which is the "Ozine Fest". If the Main event is more on general activities and merchandise, this one focuses more on Figures and toys such as scale figures, Nendoroids and such.

Being the same date as our meetup, of course, we entered the hall for experience with a ticket which costs a hundred of peso just for an individual to enter. Inside, there are many anime oriented stalls, activities going through on the stage, and other anime groups meeting up too.

Our original Plan is meeting up on Ozine Fest AFS then go to Sambokojin for an Eat-All-You-Can buffet of Japanese dishes.
We did enjoyed this meetup not just because of the plan but also for the suprises!

Jezza (HC member) the one who designed our tshirt,
Carla (HC member) bought presents for us as well as our photographer, and the one who printed our Kantai Collection Tshirt,
Gela (HC member) Printed a 12 x 18 inch poster for the rest of the members,
Vienns (HC member) Our new member on thy second meetup
Haohau (HC member) being the first one to attend our first meetup [consists only of me and him] , he still managed to attend up until now. thanks.
Darcy (HC member) of course, he is the one who provided some critical info's for our meetup's plan a success.

While wearing our 'Kantai' Tshirts, we go around the vicinity of the event , outside, and inside.
We taken a number of pictures of cosplayers, the event scenery and the stalls itself.

After those things, we decided to get ready as we finally need to go to Sambokojin since the buffet time is around dinner. Separated by two groups, when the first group arrives successfully on the target vicinity/restaurant, the other groups seems to be ended in a number of nodes before arriving which takes a lot of time (still arrived early though)

One of the notable groups present in the first day of the event is the KadiriSubs , a group of filipino Funsubbers as well meme makers on the internet.

Winter anime 2013-2014

Winter anime 2013-2014 is coming!

As the night of Christmas and new year approaches us, it may be as well as the new season for us anime lovers.

The current season of Anime TV shows is nearing its end as the 1-cour anime airs their last episode each week. We may see some 2-cour anime which will extend up to the next season too since it have 20 episodes or more to air.

I can also see some people already having a Hard time managing their Disk's free space in their Computers so that they can archive the upcoming titles.

Neregate (A common website that previews Anime charts every season) already released their latest chart for the winter season.

You can view the latest at their website or click Here to view the larger version of the one beside this.

On the other note, Various PV is already released around the internet! 

So if you are a casual Anime watcher, i suggest you to make your Winter 2013-2014 list as soon as possible before te New Year's Eve comes.

How to make a list? You may ask your Anime lover companions.

One of the important terms regarding this is the "3-Episode Rule" wherein you give at least three episodes to a title before giving your judgement wether you will drop it, stall it, or continue watching throughout the end.

That term is already common in few anime communities around the world, so try to open your Notepad and start writing down

If you are interested to know what is in my List, Here it is:

Busy yet calming day.

Christmas is coming, along with various schedule of christmas party along the way, do you already have something you can give to as a gift? :)

Advance merry christmas otakus!

Have us in your circle!

Looking back at the past and origin of this blog, "Google+" plus really helped us connect by using their application which is the "Google+Hangout".  That's why i decided to make a Google+ Page for our Page/group as well! Let's say it is another step towards reaching our co-anime lovers.

For now, it would be good to add this page to your Google+ Circles if you have one, specially the Old Hangouters. You could also "+1" too the page if you see it interesting!

You could also visit our Google+ page through the "Contact us" Tab in the Main menu.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, i am planning to commemorate the previous hangouters in this blog, specially the one who stayed with us from the start. Gotta collect some screenshots first from my previous record of hangout.

Good day! And advance Merry Christmas!

Saki-Zenkoku-Hen

I'm sure not many of you are fan of the "Saki" series, but in my view, it really is an interesting title which already have two finished seasons : Saki (the Main series) and Saki : Achiga-hen (The side-Story of the mother series).

I don't know how to play majhong but this anime caught my interest in just one episode. First of all is those goosebumps scene and the spectacular effects when the character  announces their winning words like "Tsumo".

Also, one of the many things which made this series more interesting is the special abilities their opponent has (the main characters also have them).

One think that you may note down before watching this is, you may feel a sense of "Yuri" throughout the series, specially that there is only one male supporting character in the main series.

The first season focuses the story of the Main protagonist named "Saki" whom described as a student who hates majhong but knows how to play it since she "used" to play with her family before breaking apart.

As the series goes along, she has been discovered by the majhong club and continues up to the nationals. Well, i'll leave it to you on how did that happen when you watch it.

The first season ends at the start of their Finals tournament representing their prefectures representatives.

After the 2-cour long season one of Saki.  "Saki : Achiga-hen" aired which is about the childhood friends of Nodoka (Saki's friend in the main series/season 1) when she was still on elementary level before she parted ways at the third year of her middle school.

In this side of the main story is about how the childhood friends of nodoka, specially "Shizu" made the majhong club of Achiga starts again along with her other childhood friends such as Ako and kuro.

And the whole reason for this is because they want to play with Nodoka again with majhong, This time, in Nationals. That being said, in this Side story, it actually finished at the last part of Semi-Finals where they awaits their new foes, and one of them was "Saki".

This series promised a number of good scenes where you will get excited even if you don't know how to play majhong.

So i'll recommend this to you. You may also want to start it now as the Third season of Saki series is already greenlit and will start airing on Winter 2013 Anime on the month of january named "Saki : Zenkoku-hen". From the word Zenkoku means Nationals.

Best of Anime 2013

First time poster here.

I've been to many anime conventions. Some were small events, some were huge, hyped events, especially when THAT cosplay celeb is going to appear. It has even gone to the point that I see the same shops all over again.

However, this con at SMX was a completely different beast, since it was a chance for the admins to meet each other, and for me, to meet them as well for the first time.

Out of habit, I always go to cons as early as possible.

Surprisingly, no long lines.

Almost always, going early pays off a lot.

Nepneps gonna nepnep.

Nice staff. Bought the artbook anyway.

Am I kawaii? uguu~

Skip to the main event.

Meeting the Admins!

Haro.

After lunch and waiting for a few hours, we met two other Admins:

Lyx.

Angelo.

And of course, the unexpected guest:

Pierrot.

The five of us did almost everything: Angelo playing osu, taking pictures of cosplayers, having an amateur artist draw a Nasod Empress, and the highlight of the night:

Starmarie.

Taken with an extendable human tripod.

And nothing is more memorable than a group pic:

P.O Admins + Me and part of the loot.

Con-goers also went to the semi-related event downstairs: the International Book Fair.

Aku no Hana manga and others.

Overall, it was a 10/10 event. Hope we can meet them again, and hope that other admins from the faraway places join in the fun as well!

P.S. We didn't expect these cosplayers:

lelsword

My personal favorites:

Mikasa.

Illya.

And finally, special thanks to the Goddess.

Cosplayer form.

Praise be to Madokami!

What's in the Philippines Otaku HC trend?

Hello everyone! it's been a while since my last update! As well as the last time i commemorated a name here.
These past few months, after the first episode of the Summer anime season 2013 "Kiniro Mosaic" aired.
The term "Ayaya" created by "Karen" as a nickname for "Aya" (Even though it is much longer than her first name by two letters) in the said series become popular in the HC of the group or page.

Taking the possibility that there are still many anime fans there who still haven't watch this series and still on their backlogs, it is better for me avoid spilling more beans of information to avoid spoiling others.

Even though Ayaya is popular, Karen still hits the best as one of the popular female characters in the current season (Summer 2013). Maybe because of her broken english acent? Or her tsukkomi and boke? Well anyway, it is up to the fans whether she deserved that title. :)

There are also some topics in the group which takes my attention. The upcoming Best of Anime 2013 convention on September 14-15, Discovered old and new singles and album, favorite animation studio poll, Elsword, P.O Seiyuu spotlight, and other random topics. If you're interested hearing the stories about those topics, you might want to visit our group, just locate the link in the "Contact Us" tab in the menu tab of the blog.


Again, thanks for reading and, Oyaya!

"Elsword" becoming popular too?

First of all

When we, the Admins, posted a screenshot of the game. It is not from a PH server.

We are currently playing at its UK server. We do not use any VPN or Hotspot shield :)

The Elsword in the Philippines will be held by Garena and it will start its CBT on the month of October  Register now as they already accept registration for CBT before it closes is door to First beta test of PH server.

Why are we playing at UK server?
Well, at first, only few of the admins are playing Elsword from the start, as the time passes on, the other admins are influenced to play the game too, unable to resit the temptation to play, haha.

We will still play the Elsword PH of course, so, while waiting, we started playing at other sever to hone our skills :)


Do you play Elsword too?

PO Kanojo Elimination

Yes, it is just a normal elimination of female characters in this season (Summer) nominated by our group members.

We finished the first stage of elimination last week and currently preparing for the second one this week.
We execute the voting through our Facebook fanpage for much wider audience ^_^

If you have time and you saw us posting the poll, you can vote too!

See you there!

Is there something wrong?

Well, there have been an enormous list of current anime this season, and most them are good!

But, since there are many episode are being released every week, spoilers are being more common to the point there the number of being spoiled are increasing.

And that's why we made a "Grace period" to our group (though i still didn't add this one in the info section on the blog). In this rule, you must NOT post any scene from a currently released episode that contain any scene or info that can make it a "Spoiler", if you want to post it, you must wait 2 DAYS before you post it.

Well, that's that, i hope you understand why we include this as this is for the good of all..... well not really all xD

By the way, The Comiket 84 is already finished! are you waiting for goods? :D
here some cosplay shots taken and uploaded from photographers attendees of the event ^w^

And i realized.... in the folder i downloaded, there are only few male cosplayers taken! haha, Maybe the photographer really likes women :3
