Have you every wanted to go on a date with the 3D virtual idol Hatsune Miku?! Well now you can! As this guy demonstrates, by using a kinekt and some virtual reality glasses, he was able to go on a date with Miku and even managed to pat her. Here is the video:
Now that Im back from Japan and have taken out all the anime related stuff which i have acquired there I would like to present the current state of my room. (PS the BRS fig is not mine, I got it for David).
So these are my last few hours in glorious Japan. I will be leaving for the airport shortly…. But before leaving I went to Nipponbashi one last time. Played some Street Fighter, jubeat and most importantly got to see the Yuru Yuri exhibition. Im sure my friend Tac will be so jealous right now. And this is where I bid farewell to the land of Japan and get ready to go to the airport for my 4pm flight to Shanghai and then to Sydney.
The photos of the Yuru Yuri exhibition are somewhere at the bottom:
Today was the last time in the next 2 years (probably) that I saw one of my best friends: Kosuke. We went to Osaka Dome where there is a quite an interesting exhibition happening. In japanese they call it Trick Art, basically optical illusions.
Paintings drawn on walls, but with parts of the body sticking out of the frame, making it look like they are 3D. It was a lot of fun. Here are some awesome pics:
Yesterday (25th of July) was the day of the Tanjin Matsuri in Osaka. My classmates and I decided to go there and have fun.
Imagine a typical japanese festival with all the stalls and stuff and us walking in that huge bunch of people in the heat….. It was +32 over there, + the amount of people that gathered there wasn’t really helping…..
Today I went and watched Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki in TOHO cinemas Namba (Osaka). I am so lucky that I got to see this movie while being here, in Japan. This movie is from the creator of The Girl Who Leaped Through Time and Summer Wars, Director Mamoru Hosoda. Knowing that, you must imagine the hype over this new movie.
So today my friend Kosuke invited me over to Kyoto once again, this time to eat some real Japanese sushi. So 3 things happened: Street fighter competition, playing Street Fighter with Kosuke, and eating delicious sushi with Kosuke and his father.
In Super Street Fighter IV some special moves can be preformed by canceling of of normal moves. Some of them even allow certain characters to extend their model range, allowing them to grab opponents from further away, or to preform special moves with extended range.
Notable examples of Kara moves are Ken’s kara-grab, Sagat’s kara-uppercut and Akuma/EvilRyu/Oni ‘s raging demon. Here is a video tutorial explaining how to execute Oni’s kara-demon through normal moves.
Summer 2012 anime season has started and is already in full swing! The people at TheAkiba.com have compiled a nice list of “must watch” anime this season (with a description of why they like each series).
Personally I’m watching 6 new things this season and 1 from last season.
It was supposed to be just a normal sunday for me, until I decided to go hang out with my friend Kosuke in Kyoto. So I picked a random day (today, 15th of July, Sunday) decided on a time and went to Kyoto, where Kosuke was waiting for me. Little did i know what was in stall for me….
