Hayate is crying… You wouldn’t say no to her, would you?
Great, it seems that Animeblogger is in the red recently… Advertising revenue hasn’t been enough to keep up with the massive costs of running this place, so some donation money is really needed to help support.
The goals for this donation drive are USD1700 and USD2300 to firstly cover taxes and current costs, and secondly, get better hardware and servers. In total, USD4000. It’s really a lot of money, so I hope that everyone out there will help chip in a little.
Well, I guess those of you who are interested would want to know how to donate. There are two main ways. First one is Paypal. This should be simple to anyone who has used it before. Most of the animebloggers should have a set of AB links (mine are on the right), one of which should be for donations. Just use that link. The other method would be to buy Animeblogger merchandise. Remember the mascot competition sometime back? Think along the lines of merchandise with the winning mascots on them. Cute stuff…
Well, bottom line is, AB.net needs money. Please don’t be evil and not donate. I’m sure that if all of AB’s readers gave a dollar each, we’ll have more than enough.
EDIT : Ok, I got the amount of money required wrong. It’s not USD 1700 and USD 2300. It’s USD 1600 and USD 600. Sorry for the erorr…

Today’s write up is a short one on the doujin game Patchcon by Twilight Frontier (Tasogare Frontier/ Tasofran). Patchcon is basically a real time strategy game using characters from the Touhou series. Interestingly enough, this is not the first time Tasofran is handling the Touhou series; they were also the creators of the semi-official Touhou fighter games Touhou Suimusou and Scarlet Weather Rapsody.

Happy Total Defence Day to everyone. Fortunately Total Defence Day comes a day after Valentine’s Day though it wouldn’t really make too much of a difference.
Anyway, it has been more than a week since my last post so I thought I would just do a small post. The full post can be found here.
I went to KKnM on Wednesday and got myself…
A picture speaks a thousand words so I will let it do the talking
I haven’t quite sorted out my Megami and Comp H as I opened my Dengeki Gs first. Inside, I found a voice CD, a HP wiper strap and a pillowcase.
Lazy to take out the pillowcase so this should do
Before I end, I would like to ask if anyone can give me advice on drawing? Doodling has been a long time hobby of mine (Thats why my name is Rakugakid らくがきド without the ド it would mean scribble) Here is an example of what I copied from Fortune Arterial.I have two more on my own blog so feel free to comment on them.
I know it has no standard but please don’t flame me T_T
Oh yeah and I didn’t do anything else to the picture except add auto leveling.

Hmmm, it’s the time of the year again. The animebloggers start getting oh, so RONERY because it’s Valentine’s Day and they haven’t gotten anyone to give them chocos… It can’t be helped I guess. If they had any girlfriends to begin with, they wouldn’t be blogging about anime, so…
Disclaimer : Impz is a major exception. A very well known animeblogger who actually has a girlfriend… Is it because of his trap image?
Me? Lonely? Sorry, been too busy going through CLANNAD to be lonely…
Well, anyway, for those of you interested to know out there, I did get some chocos. From my imouto… Last night. In a cup. It was melted hot chocolate, the leftovers of her attempt (successful) to make some sort of choco biscuit or something…
I managed to drink half a cup, before starting to feel sick. Turns out, normal hot chocolate is mainly water with somewhere between 10% to 50% of chocolate inside normally. My imouto’s hot chocolate came from a slab of baking chocolate melted using boiling cream… After drinking the concoction, I immediatly went off to sleep.
And, yes, that’s how I went through this year’s 14th February…

As the title says. Unfortunately, I don’t have any good pictures to put up, since the Japanese don’t really celebrate the Lunay New Year (they’ve got Hatsumode already anyway)… I’ll try get a pic later.
Well, best of wishes to everyone. Hope the new year brings in lots of wealth, hehehe…
P.S. Short post due to lack of time. I’ve got to rush of to go collect money go visit my relatives.
[EDIT] :
Yup, it’s day 2 of the celebrations. I’m still busy, but I managed to find a decent enough picture to put up. Wallpaper sized version is available. Just click the pic. This wasn’t made by me though…
Due to my disappointing ‘O’ level results, I have decided to drop out of school and go for National Service instead.
I just got the singlet last week.
Ok, I was just kidding. I got the singlet from my relative who completed National Service some time ago and since it does not fit him anymore he gave it to me. Anyway I will be going for my National Service in a couple of years so its ok for me to wear the singlet around I think.
YAY, my tamagotchi grew bigger
I am not called Rakugakid for nothing, though it should have been just rakugaki which means scrawl; scribble; graffiti.
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya manga book 4
Not sure what had gotten to me, but my expenditure on manga has decreased drastically ever since last week. I only bought one manga this week, though I will probably go and get to-love-ru book 3 and 4 later. Crap, the manga had been edited from the original japanese version so I can’t help but feel left out on some ecchi scenes lol.
Anyway I will probably go broke tomorrow, with Rdrake who kindly helped me buy Megami February edition, and prospects of buying a doujin too, I will probably blow my wallet again.
77 STAR Pte Ltd is offering course for aspiring mangaka and seiyuu. If you’ve ever been ambitious enough to try for a career in any of these two fields, then go ahead and try the course.
I haven’t actually wrote anything about the earlier courses yet, but from what I’ve been hearing, some of them are full already, so for this is actually the second intake for the seiyuu course.
And I suppose this sort of thing isn’t new, although it’s tough to find in Singapore. Well, one bonus about this course. The company in question is actually gearing up to start producing anime here (yes, they are hiring staff too). So finishing the course could mean a job actually producing anime. Quite a draw eh? Well, that’s the basics. Link bundle below for those interested.
I have just been added as a writer on R.A.W.R and I think it is best for me to do an introduction first.
Firstly, I am a noobie so my posts are really random. My niche is generally being random. Though, most of the time I would complain about not having enough money to buy this manga or that magazine and stuff, so please bear with me. ^^
Manga which I bought last night
In any case, I am just a poor(literally), average(also literally) manga collector so my posts would be related to what I do in my blog. Anyway most of the stuff I do is crap and I might do double posts so that readers don’t have to check both blogs to see what random stuff I might be doing.
Bought them today, I think its an ecchi manga
Yeah so, I think this should be all for today. I have to do my JAE now as I don’t have time for it tomorrow (My classes end at 5pm and the deadline is at 4), erm thats all.
Lol, apparently there was this virus flying around peer to peer programs like Winny yesterday. The virus features a picture of Kyou grabbing Tomoya’s tie while it goes around your hard drive burning up all your data. Evil Kyou FTW! (Obviously I didn’t get burnt…)
Well, the funny part is that the creator of the virus has been arrested. However, the Japanese don’t have laws against writing viruses… The best they can charge the guy with is a copyright infringement. He shouldn’t have used a Key character picture on his virus. If he hadn’t, he might have gotten away with it. Kyou evidently stands up for her rights!
Messing with Fujibayashi Kyou is Serious Business!
Hmm, this was absolutely funny. So I thought what I’ld do was to put the link out here as a present for everyone. Nico Nico Douga for the win! More clips as well…
It’s combat Hatsune Miku! Well, basically it’s Miku overlayed into one of the fight scenes in The Matrix (I think it’s the second movie of the series.) It’s not perfect but still a really good job, even if you can still sometimes see Keanu Reeve’s figure. Still his coat hanging out at the back really makes Miku look as if she’s wearing a dress. It’s too bad the voices weren’t changed…
Oh, and watch out for her leek…

This next one is for Fuuko. Merry Christmas Fuuko, even though you’re gone now…

Right, then here’s a School Days vid. Nothing too special about it, but I want to get three clips up here :3
