J's Chimes wishes all a very Happy 2010 New Year. Time really flies when you're not noticing it and having fun. Hopefully there would be more happenings in the near future and of course better animes to watch...

Received a call yesterday from a toy shop that my K-On! Nendoroid Yui had arrived and ready for collection. Woot! It's a pity I missed the pre-order for the other K-On! characters though and it seem that the only way to get them is to purchase it directly from other shops that have those in stock (But usually are really expensive than preorder...). Probably be collecting today as am pretty excited about it. More pictures can be seen here.

What happens when your dad suddenly reveals himself as a real demon lord and your mum a hero on your birthday? Zettai Maou - Boku no Mune-kyun Gakuen Saga or roughly known as Absolute Demon Lord - My Heart Beating School Saga, is a eroge whereby the protanganist is a descendent of the demon lord and attends a special magical school in an alternative world... Developed by the company named Score and released on Dec 25, this game resembles the game and anime known as Koihime Musou because of the alternative world thingy and the massive amount of characters in the game... More info on the game here.

A new decade is coming and taking a look back at the history of Japanese animation so far, animes sure have changed a lot ever since. Here's a video for the animes from 1962 to 2001 that started it all. There are plenty of familiar ones you'd know of and were popular classics. Hopefully there were good ones out for new year too.

What happens if anime replaces the positions of kamasutra? Found this interesting picture at Moe Imouto and seems to be a much more friendlier version of letting people know about such things. Includes Japanese Kanji and Romanji of the names of each positions. Love how they drew the characters as it replaces with cuteness that makes you forgot about what it actually is...

And so the day has come... The End Of Year Cosplay Event 2009 starts today from 10am to 6pm at the National Library Singapore. Here's a little video for more info about the event. Sadly, I will not be attending it because of other commitments (And of course the entry fees...). Hopefully some good soul post their photos on flickr or photobucket for us to view asap...

It's Christmas Eve and am guessing many are out doing their last minute Christmas shopping. Getting presents ready for tomorrow, a fine dinner or a romantic date out to watch the beautiful lights at Orchard Road Singapore. For the likes of J's Chimes, it's always been an ordinary day to me. Even so to celebrate this festive season, I've decided for a little makeover for this special occasion. And to many of you out there, wishing you a very Happy Merry Christmas!

Hijacked from Sankaku Complex, looks like its gonna be another ronery Christmas once again without a girlfriend to celebrate for you... :(. In any case, Christmas has become too commercialise that people now tend to even forget or not know what Christmas actually is... Which is a sad thing indeed. Once again it becomes an ordinary day with nothing to look forward to... Hopefully I'd just buy a cake like what this guy did and eat and sob at the same time... Happy Merry Christmas...

Though this season animes are good, there are a couple of animes with weird endings and some which are cold and bloody. Some of the animes with weird endings are Kampfer and Nyan Koi! while animes that reached climatic stages with scenes of gore and death includes 11 Eyes, Darker Than Black, The Sacred Blacksmith, etc. Whatever the case, this season anime has almost come to a closure and new animes are coming up pretty much next week or so. Hopefully the genre changes into something better to prepare for the coming new year.

Recently aired was an anime titled Aki Sora. Adapted from a manga by Itosugi Masahiro, it's made into an anime OVA for some reason or another. This anime surprises me to the extend that I had to lower down the volume in order to keep watching because it can be considered a hentai anime in which I didn't expect until the scenes came out of nowhere. Interestingly, the manga and anime story had a slight difference and the anime female character resembers Horo from Spice and Wolf because the same director created this... In any case, this anime is getting kinda interesting because of the taboo relationship between brother and sister. Kinda complicated but animes are exciting that way...

In the latest episode of Seitokai No Ichizon, a surprising and unexpected animation of our country Singapore has appeared in this anime. This has got to be the first anime that has Singapore in the animation, and funny to boot. The way they drew the Merlion, the background and our flag sure is nostagic and interesting. Visit the anime website at http://newtype.kadocomic.jp/seitokai/index.html to know more.

If you have yet to watch Avatar, now is the time to book your tickets immediately to watch it asap. The visuals are really stunning and nice with an appropriate story too. Seriously this is well worth the money because it also runs 2hr 40mins long. Fans of Warcraft to Starcraft would definitely love this movie because this fantasy world takes your breathe away. In any case, this is a nice movie to watch overall for this end of year before Christmas.

J's Chimes have reached 30,000 hits as of date from 7 November 2007. Seriously didn't expect the blog to last that long but it did somehow. Anyway thanks again for visiting this website. Truly without your support, I'd never have the encourage and determination to continue on blogging till the end of days. Hopefully, I'd not run out of interesting things to blog in future... lol.

Yup, love listening to anime songs and such. Would listen everytime I'd go out, especially useful while in buses and trains because it gets too bored after a long journey. Helps to forget about the time for traveling too. Would love to go to a karaoke shop to sing but don't have much friends interested though lol (They probably don't sing Japanese). To enjoy your music, it's best you'd get yourself a nice mp3 player and ear piece so that you'd get the bass and tone you wanted. Different players sound differently and is especially so for the ear pieces so get a good one instead!

Sometimes am totally out of stuff to blog and would bring my laptop out to some place to chill like Starbucks to Gloria Jeans to blog and get some inspiration. Pretty free nowadays because of the holidays and would go exploring and such, taking photos and finding new things to do and learn. Hopefully I could save enough to buy myself a Nikon D5000 and since I'd love photography a lot, this would be a great asset to carry around.

Before I watch animes online or stream videos, I'd bought them at local video shops. The problem with such was that their quality are really bad and not to mention the subtitles. Once you've learn Japanese, you'd realise that it's not to standard. The cover designs for the anime are rather classic too and you'd know that it's a rip off from the original lol. Anyway, had been storing them in my et ever since and have been digging up some old animes to watch recently. Brings back memories. El Hazard The Magnificient World is still one of my favourites.
