Arranging to attend Anime Expo 2012

April 14, 2012 in General Anime

Anime Expo 2012 is in Las Vegas from June 29th to July 3rd. I Can’t wait to go since this will be my first time so I hope to get it arranged, below are 3 videos on the 2011 Expo taken from a fan although he does cover one of the most important parts of the expo which is the costumes – I wish he had covered other parts.

Costumes

All the costumes were great in this video, I do disagree with non Japanese animation being included in an anime expo especially since the whole point is to promote Japanese animation in America but he really did a great job showcasing the best cos-play costumes.

Video 1

Several good characters like Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon, Mew Mew Lettuce from Tokyo Mew Mew, several others.

Video 2

1:54 ruined the video, why was it included?

Many more good costumes and, as usual, a ton of Hatsune Miku costumes

Video 3

This was the best in my opinion, lot’s of good costumes

The history, casting, and filming of PGSM

March 30, 2012 in Sailor Moon

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (PGSM) is a live action version based on the Sailor Moon anime which is based on the manga. This 30-minute video is an in-depth look into the history, filming, and casting of the PGSM series before it was released in Japan and also served asa promo for the shows airing a few months later.

Apparently many thousand people applied in Japan for the individual parts and an already famous actor was chosen to play Queen Beryl. It covers interviews of the cast, behind-the-scenes sneak peeks, and even videos of the actual production. It also covers the Japanese press conferences with the cast and the cast getting to know each other personally. Several secrets about filming locations were also revealed plus a lot more.

 



Great Tokyo Mew Mew AMV

March 30, 2012 in Tokyo Mew Mew

This is an AMV that I came across while digging around for a good one on this anime. The music was good, the selected clips showed the best of the anime, and it was well put together.

In case you don’t know, Tokyo Mew Mew is centered around this team who’ve been brought into this experimental project (unknowingly and unwillingly) that mixes endangered species DNA with their DNA (one animal to each member). They “transform” into the mixed DNA version of themselves to fight enemies who threaten life on Earth. Despite the corny sounding description this anime can actually get pretty intensive and it’s because of that why I like it so much. Very original and features a really good story-line.

This is also why I liked this AMV because it picked out a lot of the action in the anime

 

Ika Musume signs up for Season 2!

March 30, 2012 in Shinryaku! Ika Musume

Below is the official promo video for the new anime Ika Musume who’s going on their second season this year (2012)

For those of you who don’t know, Ika Musume is a goofy comedy type anime about a squid-girl who comes from the ocean to punish and rule humanity for polluting it  – it’s not a serious anime but very funny. I’ve made several other posts already about the various aspects of the show and the band that created several of the songs in the anime link here. But below is the promo for the second season

 

Interesting popipo Video

March 29, 2012 in Vocaloid

I sometimes go out and rummage though about 10 – 30 popipo videos on YouTube for a good one and I’ve started placing the more recent ones here theanimefan.com/type/popipo. The one below is created by a fan and I’ve decided to post it since it’s one of the better fan-created videos based on their own animation (usually fan-made animation really isn’t that good) other than that it’s your typical PoPiPo song and video.

Here’s one more, it’s filmed live so it’s not computer animation based. The dance quality is good, like the “home-style” setting and wig but the acting isn’t that good (very bland) nor the selected popipo song as it’s a rip from the official popipo music video which contains sound effects.
