Detective Conan (Movie 16): The Eleventh Striker

Who is not a fan of Detective Conan? I believe many of you might have watch or heard of this show before. I have always be an fan of Detective Conan series. When I heard there is a new movie of Detective Conan Movie coming out, I am overjoyed. I had high expectation for this movie. However, after I watched it, I was a little bit disappointed because there is no serial murder involved. I still miss the joke "Wherever Conan goes, people die." That besides, the movie still managed to pull out a great show even out serial murder. There are constantly some hilarious scenes that really are entertaining and funny. Both comedy and mystery are happening at the same time is what really make the movie more enjoyable.

I really like the beginning scene. It started with huge explosion that really drag me right into the story. That had my attention. I am a huge of fan of dramatic scenes.

Winter 2012/2013 Anime PV

After looking at most of the Anime PV next season, I will have to make some serious change in my first glance recommendation. It is not because the anime PV is bad, but because of my wrongly judgement in Neregate's picture in the first place. That's why I always suggest people to look into certain genre and art style before making their first impression. In this post I will demonstrates why I made certain changes in my recommendation list and something you might look into yourselves as the new season is upon us.

I will still recommend anime that is going to reason their sequels despite of the fact that most people will ready know the quality of the anime from its previous seasons. The reason for that is I want to let the reader to feel open to more anime series because the others might or might not have seen them. I always encourage people to try out new anime series since I always says, "There is no bad anime."

Here is my recommendation along with the PVs.

Winter 2012/2013 Anime

Here we are again facing the end of another season. As the series are wrapping up their lose ends, we are prepared to finally look into the next season, WINTER.

To be honest, I haven't looked into any of the upcoming season's PV yet, but I will soon get you guys updated with an another post later in a few days. To get to the main focus of this post, I will guide you what series will be airing during winter and what are some good series to expect from.

Most Anticipated Realsed/Upcoming Games?

Any side interest in Gaming?

What's your favourite GAME now? Do you have a chance to get a game recently? If not, here is what you should get and what you should wait for.

Dead or Alive 5

Dead or Alive series has always made its name in one of the top fighting games. I am personally a huge Dead or Alive fan. The game is not only demonstrates its dynamic gaming quality, and also its excellent gaming performance. Your gaming experience will no longer be the same!

Resident Evil 6

You like any horror gaming? Get this one! Resident Evil will not disappoint you. It has always made its named loud ever since the game series was released. With huge monster chasing you, will you be able to sleep at night after you played this? Continue your fight until "YOU DIE HERE".

With Dead or Alive 5 and Resident Evil 6 release, what will be next most wanting games?

Assassin's Creed III

And of course what we have been long expecting, Assassin's Creed III. The game is designed to have you dragged into it. It gives you the most dynamic third person player experience ever created. You still planning on staying home during the weekends? Wait until its the right time, and turn into an Assassin!

Halo 4

Have you ever played any one of the Halo series? Halo 4 is arguably the most anticipated game. It is a game that will be released after its previous work, Halo Reach. If you are wondering which game you should by, you should definitely wait for this one!

Prince of Wales Club Day 2012 Preparation

Manga Orange now presents what we have prepared so far!
As the Prince of Wales' Club Day is drawing near, we eventually have to come out with something more interesting than last year. People may ask, "Why don't you just do the same thing as last year?" The answer is that we always seek more than perfection. It is not because we are greedy, but because we want to dedicate our insane interest in ANIME. This is however not an easy task. We have to overcome challenges such as time management, material resource, quality performance, and etc. We have to guarantee our overall performance as a responsible sponsor. We appreciate all help from people who agree to offer their time and supplies. It will definitely be an interesting event to look forward.

Posters!!!
We have finally printed out the posters. It is by all means the toughest task of all. We have to confirm with the people responsible according to their taste and liking. Fortunately, we succeeded. However, it is still not the end of the story. The printing process still makes it difficult. Printing in large amount cause the printer to continuous run into problems. It took a full 3 hours to get it done. I hope people will appreciate our help in the posters.


Here is a demo video of our set up on the club day. We prepared a bookshelf speaker that is definitely audible in a crowded area. People may also wonder, "Is it really going to be that loud on the club day that the speaker from the laptop won't be enough?" The response is YES. We have superior experience in dealing with the NOISE on high school club day. Moreover, we also plan to hook up two displays, so people will have a better viewing experience. Hope everyone will be amused on the club day.
P.S. Thank for people who helped with the setup aspect.

Summer Season 2012 Anime Ending

The season has finally comes to the end as we start to realize seeing the word "Final" behind the title of the anime. Unlike any other season, this season ended unexpectedly exciting. I strongly appreciate the endings to not be unresolved. Most anime this season has wrapped up everything quite nice. Here I have listed a few final impression of my favourite anime.

Accel World

Accel World ended dramatically, especially the ending battle. Haruyuki-kun certainly didn't disappoint us by not showing any mercy in the end. This is quite unexpected because in most anime, we have a stereotype main character who always want to do anything that is right. The fact that Haruyuki ended Nomi's life while he begging for mercy is certainly one of the best scene.

Take this!

There is also another part in the ending that has to do with Kuroyukihime senpai that is funny. The expression was really awesome.

What?!

Haruyuki the Rocketman

Campione!

The story of the one who can steal a power of god, a campione! This series involved a lot of awesome kissing. If you like to see some kissing anime, this one is for you. Kusanagi Godou slaying Metis with Athena's blessing is probably one of the greatest scene with kissing a loli. It is one good intense kissing anime to remember.

Slaying Loli Metis

Now the big brother has to face his onee-chan.

My onii-chan!

You ready for this?

Oda Nobuna no Yabou

The ending of Oda Nobuna is pretty awesome with the fire burning the entire mountain.   The story plot line is really intense that it drags me through all the way from its begging to the end. As we expected in the end of the anime, the monkey returned from that dead! This is probably the most logical ending in anime, but in the way that it is touching and awesome, especially when Nobuna had to face the final boss by herself.

Insane final boss with awesome background

The money returned when everything comes to a conclusion.

My monkey is here~

Cos & Effect 2012

August 24 to 26 @ University of British Columbia

ABOUT COS & EFFECT

Cos & Effect is an annual costume, cosplay, and alternative fashion convention that takes place in Vancouver BC. Featuring workshops, informational and fan-run panels, contests, competitions, dances, special guests, artists, vendors, and more. Unleash your creativity!

Impression

After being to this convention, the major difference I felt from Anime Revolution 2012 is the panels. It has way more rooms for an overall positive interaction with people. Although there people who been to other cons find panels boring, this convention is nothing like that. Most of the panels are very well planned. I am very impressed with panels, especially the one about pokemon. It completely changes my childhood impression. I didn't know the game can be this interesting. They seriously did an excellent job in those panels. I enjoyed the panels with my fullest energy to the end when I finally accidentally fell asleep in the panel room on the second day. I actually felt bad for to leave the panel before it ended. Overall, the convention is still a lot of fun despite the fact that there aren't a lot of vendors and main events. The panels are worth the money.

Who did we find here?

We found Derick Chiou from Prince of Wales Anime Club!

Anime: Steins;Gate

Character: Rintarou Okabe

Mardock Scramble The First Compression

As we are beginning to look what will happen next season, we should also look at some awesome anime movies. Since this is the first post on Anime movie review, I will make it much simple for the readers to follow along.

The Anime Movie that we are going to introduce to you is called Mardock Scramble The First Compression. There is also a sequel follow after this named The Second Combustion. If I must compare between the two, I will definitely say the first is much better.

As the story of begins, the 15-year-old prostitute Rune Balot was rescued by a doctor after an incident that nearly killed her. Using the prohibited technology, the doctor made Rune Balot's life forever changed. Rune was given a chance to investigate and revenge the man who tried to kill her. In the story, Rune was constantly struggling with her internal conflict of thinking herself is messed up. However, the mouse, Oeufcoque, successfully comfort her about her past.

As Rune was dealing with her personal law court affair, the enemies are beginning their moves. The attack push the movie to the ultimate climax! Although Rune was pretty good at beating up people, she crossed the line that she shouldn't have crossed!

The fighting scenes were very awesome. Seeing the flexible moves, I really think Rune is pretty amazing! It is worth the time watching it.

Mardock Scramble The First Compression is definitely an amazing anime movie that people should watch and appreciate its scenes. I will totally recommend it to people who are looking for some heavy taste movies.

After Summer 2012? Autumn/Fall 2012 Anime Chart!

As we are coming to the end of Summer 2012 Season, we are already looking forward to next season's anime release! Some anime such as Code: Breaker and BTOOOM! that I have been waiting for almost a year finally decide to show their faces. It is definitely going to be another exciting season! What's your most anticipated anime?

Anime Revolution 2012

August 17-19 2012 @ Vancouver Convention Centre

Review may considered to be inappropriate.

ABOUT ANIME REVOLUTION

Anime Revolution is a brand new three-day convention located in Vancouver, BC. It caters to a wide range of activities, exhibits, panels, and performances. These include art, animation, comics, costuming, cultural displays, dance, gaming, musical performances, and others. The goal is to provide people of all ages with entertainment, education, and cultural exchange.

Impression

After being to Anime Revolution 2012, I am proud of living in Vancouver. This convention definitely has to potential to grow. They have extremely great shows at the main events room such as the walk off. I almost suffocate while I was laughing so hard. Even though some may find the walk off inappropriate, the only thing I can say is "What a great show!" Another thing that most people will pay attention to is the DEALERS. I find it amazingly big compare to any convention you can find in Vancouver. I couldn't resist not buying anything from them. I walked out the dealer's exhibition hall found out that I just spent more than a hundred bucks unconsciously. They have a great collection of anime DVDs, manga magazines, figures, costumes, swords, body pillows, and even some echhie mouse pads. Although the panels can be improved by having more spaces and room, Anime Revolution is definitely the finest convention that you can find in Vancouver.

Maid Cafe

Even though the food is pretty expensive, we all enjoy our time at the Maid Cafe! Anime Revolution sure did a good job of treating their guests. We also need to thank the amazing maids who volunteered for hours at Anime Revolution, so we can all have a good time while at the convention. here is a picture of my friend, Yiwei, who volunteered for hours at the Maid Cafe.

July 21, 2012 @ SFU Burnaby, Convocation Mall

They encourage cosplay or yukata!

Impression

The festival was quite entertaining, especially the contest. It is worth travelling one and a half hour to get there. I saw a lot of awesome cosplays and met amazing people. Their carnival-style games also handed out raffle tickets that have a chance to win great prizes. Moreover, there were a lot of awesome anime flyers such as poster, buttons, and arts. Even though I was a little disappointed about the fact that they don't have panels, I still had a lot of fun there.

Anime Evolution J-fest 2012

July 14, 2012 @ Douglas College

ABOUT J-FEST

J-fest is part of Anime Evolution, the premier event for anime, manga, gaming, and every kind of related fandom, in Vancouver BC. They invite passionate fans to this particular event where they will all share time discussing common interest.

Impression

After going to both J-fest ad Sakura-Con, I was shocked to see the differences. J-fest is a totally different type of convention. It is not only smaller, but also simple. However, I was quite fond of this experience. The panels were seriously great, especially the finals. The panel, "Who's line is it Anime?", is definitely something funny and exciting. I was glad that I brought my sister along with me. Moreover, the cosplays were amazing. I saw series of fantastic cosplays that I never seen in the big conventions. J-fest is a nice and neat festival that is good for people to have fun.

Pictures

As everyone is wondering what I have seen there, here is a photo album from Facebook taken by one of our member, Yiwei Dai! Hope everyone will like it.

After watching a Youtube video of this year's FanExpo, it changed my impression; there were series of Cosplay, Manga, Anime, and Figures. I was amazed by the shows and the interviews they did. I hope that when I go to Anime Revolution I can experience it myself, looking foreword to attending the convention.
