America’s ad for the new 2011 Toyota Corolla featuring…Hatsune Miku? This is odd and boring really.
Here is my submission for Drawing Day 2011. This is Misaki from Darker than Black. Unfortunately I do not have a scanner so this was taken on my iPhone.
Quicktime or MP4 compatible player will be required.
I attended Supanova in Melbourne today and boy was it fantastic. Last year we didn’t attend the cosplay contest but it was something I wanted to see this year and it was an experience I must say. For those of you who aren’t sure what cosplay is, it is an opportunity for pop-culture fans to dress up as their favourite character and play out a scene or strike a character’s well known pose. The effort put into costumes this year and the thought gone into some of the skits people did were outstanding, I was very impressed.
Overall the event seemed to be bigger than last year, there were a few more exhibitors I hadn’t seen before offering cool things for sale, I picked up a few things including a couple of keychains, Code Geass figurine and a Code Geass novel!! There were also art exhibitors showing their awesome talents.
I definitely can’t wait until Supanova 2010! Hopefully next year I will enter the Fan Art comp too.
For now, we can look forward to Minifest, Manifest and Armageddon. I’ll also post up some Supanova photos and if it works, a few low quality videos.

I recently got hooked on a new Anime thanks to the December 08 issue of Anime Update. Code Geass is a story of a 17 year old Britannian school boy, Lelouch Lamperouge, who takes on this identity to hide his royal status as the eleventh Prince of the Britannian Empire. Following the assassination of his mother, Empress Marianne, Lelouch’s sister is so traumatised by the event that she loses sight and becomes crippled. Lelouch resents his father, the Emperor, for not preventing his mother’s death and the devastating effect it has had on his sister that he vows to destroy Britannia.
Britannia conquered Japan and renamed it Area 11, stripping all Japanese citizens of their culture, freedom, homeland and the right to be called Japanese. Lelouch becomes entangled in Japanese rebel activity who have stolen a truck from the Britannian military. Further into the drama Lelouch meets an extraordinary young girl who gives him the power of Geass – the ability to control the actions of another individual to do his bidding. With this power Lelouch becomes a masked hero to the Japanese known as Zero. Using his new found ability and the identity of Zero, Lelouch takes on Britannia with the goal of making a happy place for his sister, revenging his mother’s death and giving back to the people the right to be called Japanese – however not his primary motive.
The story has a lot of substance to it that at times it can be hard to follow. It has quite a large political and power element to it as well, I am definitely not a fan of politics in the real world however I was still attracted to the story and it’s intricate mechanics. There are also subtle scenes of love and passion which if you’re someone who likes a powerful, heroic story with a touch of this emotion, it will definitely pull you into it’s world.
I definitely give it the thumbs up and it’s on the list as one of my favourite Anime series.
