J's Chimes: Cat's Parody Continues...

With the popularity of this Japanese game hitting an all time high... It seems like more artists are creating more parodies of the game cover for both the PS3 and XBOX360 version. I for one loved the cover design too but never did expect that it could very well go out of hand...


First would be a parody replaced by Hellsing characters and stuff but of the same poses as Catherine. Looks good too nonetheless...


Once again, other unknown animation is drawn with the similar poses from the game cover except with a few twists here and there...


The XBOX360 version however has another design though... But that didn't stop parodies from happening once again for this popular game... Even so, I still prefer the PS3 cover design...


Once again Gintama takes the spotlight with Catherine as the model, Gintoki and Hasegawa as the little man in a somewhat birthday suits and clinging helplessly on her skirt... Perhaps this is really something that may make you puke after comparing it with the real deal...

J's Chimes: 2D Becoming 3D Reality...

It's amazing that 2D graphics have achieved a level whereby such artwork made with 3D technology has advance so much... Compared with pictures a decade back, this is certainly stunning in anyway...


Don't really know who made this but it certainly looks real alright... of course I don't mean the face, but the outlining of the fabric from her clothes and even down to the strain of hair on the model. Reminds me of the CG animation movie Final Fantasy The Spirits Within...


Well... whoever says 2D girls aren't nice so think twice now that CG works are getting better and better in future... Even games like those from the Eroge Company Illusion had already made games with CG engines and 3D ready... Perhaps holograms would be a dream come true too...

J's Chimes: Sushi Making Fun...

I for one find this little toy pretty amusing and sushi making fans might probably like... Seems that some company decides to make sushi making into a little toy in which many could play with. It's pretty amazing how ya can make such stuff using just water and the powder given. However the case, these are none edible because of its chemical content... Nonetheless, it does look appealing even though its rather small... Such toys would probably not last because of what it's made off... Perhaps just for a short entertainment sake...

J's Chimes: Scale Models Taking A Break Part 2

And so the mischief continues on with 'adorable' poses using your figma figurines of Nanoha and Lelouch. Now that's one way to play with your figures...


And here ya got Nagato solacing Rin... Perhaps Archer breaks her heart again for some apparent reason or another. Nevertheless, its cute to have Nendoroids dispaying facial expressions such as this.


Seems like Miku joins in the fray with Fate to kill Kyon... That is seriously some crazy mix of animations ya got there... Wonder where does Miku got her sword... Poor Kyon, killed with a smile on both his murderer's faces...


What do you get when you mix Kaito's dressing with Miku? Looks pretty cool though and makes me wanna do the same to my Nendoroids too... Didn't really tried mixing and match with their parts before and would probably do so some time...


Gundam and Zaku battles it out on a somewhat weird location where even the coffee table is not spared from the fight. Perhaps the tea is too hot for them to enjoy...


It's a revolution I tell ya... You may never know what happens to your models when leave unattended... They make very likely prepare for war with Fate and Nanoha in command...


And meanwhile, Lelouch is once again spoted doing some lewd things once again by kidnapping girls and exposing their pantsu for our viewers to see... talk about fan service...


Yotusba will become the next generation stormtroopers that will take over the galaxy...


Miku Kick proves fatal on just about every guy's privates. Never mess with the Vocaloids no matter how strong you may be...


And finally, Haruhi can't take Lelouch's betrayal anymore and decides to shoot herself... A shocked Lelouch watch her lying motionlessly on the ground with a smile on her face...

J's Chimes: Scale Models Taking A Break Part 1

Scale models are still humans and they do take a break from all that tiresome posing too in your display cabinets and cases. And some of their owners will then probably do some amazing tricks and stuff with them which is downright hilarious and a brand new way of playing with your models and figurines... And so you have lelouch doing his thing while watching something as censored in this photo above...


On the backstage, Lucky Star characters do hate their own counterparts and you could even see some of them fighting for no apparent reason. And there ya see the twins laughing and taking photos of poor Konata...


Oh no! Ultraman is set ablaze by an intense inferno as emitted by Haruhi... And exactly from her butt... Morale of story? Never eat something hot and spicy...


Dinner is never moody with Reimu and Marisa... I just love it when they use Nendoroids for such instances... Pretty cute and nice.


And what will you get if you decide to piece up every single piece onto a Busou Shinki model? Not at all a pretty sight but probably a monstrosity... And just when ya thought it is supposed to be cool...


Rayman Rabbid decides to become a diva too together with the Idolmaster Girls... Somehow or rather, his fur blends with their costumes...


It's already a bit redundant to own 2 similar scale models. But a few hundred of them? And all of the same pose and looks... damn this looks creepy... Perhaps the owner wants a harem of girls to conquer the world...


It will be nice f your scale models or figurines decides to help you with the household chores. And here ya see Nagato beating some err... sweets for dinner?


It's kinda nice to mix your Nendoroids with other characters from different animes. And here ya have Binchotan and Nagato to spice up this awkward scene that supposed to be Kyon's part for staring at Nagato.


It's sometimes nice to have an artistic view of Saber with the house chandelier. Hmmm... Maybe I should do so too when I have the chance to...

J's Chimes: Signs To A New Meaning...

Learning to drive due to the fact that the license may come in handy when I out to work. Then somehow or rather had come across these signs that gave a whole lot of another meaning to it. Kinda creative to a certain extend. Perhaps I may attempt to Itasha my car if I will to buy one in future too. Provided there would be a day till then... In any case, click on the picture to view a larger version of it...

J's Chimes: An English Surprise...

Episode 7 of the famous ecchi anime Oniichan No Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara Ne (I don't love my brother at all) comes as a surprise to me due to the fact that the opening theme song is replace with an English song titled 'What Is Love?' sung by Haddway. I truly did not edit this as this is what's really being aired in this latest episode...


The original opening theme song title Taste of Paradise can be view here as shown above. Still can't get used to the surprising theme song for episode 7 but somehow its unique in a way or another...


And the original song 'What Is Love?' sung by Haddway can be viewed here. Retro songs MTVs are weird in some sense or another. I guess we are living in the 21st century now that's why...


Perhaps the most shocking one was the ending theme of Oniichan No Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara Ne being replace with Lady Gaga's Bad Romance... With no apparent reason at all, this however seems pretty nice and strange for it to appear in an anime such as this. Not that I want to complain because it seems pretty cool in a way or another...


And this would be the original theme song for the ending credits of Oniichan No Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara Ne. Suddenly this song seems so cute as to compare to after hearing Lady Gagas voice... It's kinda hard to adapt back now lol...


The original MTV of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance can be viewed as above. So much more different than I would expect so why the heck is it suddenly put into this anime as an ending theme song is truly a mystery...

J's Chimes: Black Rock Shooter

An ordinary day indeed last Saturday for me until I received a mail that had won a prize for a draw and any ordinary kid would just go 'wahhh' in such circumstances. Known as Hobby Frontier, this online shop specializes in selling merchandises like scale models, figurines to anime goodies, etc. It comes as a surprise for me to won something on the net because I never did before in my entire life. Anyway, a special thanks to the people of Hobby Frontier for this amazing prize.


Received it yesterday evening and I must say, it's a little bgger than I would expected it to be. I saw this model being displayed in the Anime Festival Asia X convention held last year and was pretty much drawn by it... But because of its hefty prize tag, there's really nothing I could do unless I decided to crack more of my piggy banks.


Retails at around SGD$150 and above, this cannon version of Black Rock Shooter is probably one of the nicest scale models I'd ever seen. However it makes me ponder whether to get Gold Saw and Dead Master. Like any excited kid, first things first is to open up the box and play with the model...


This 1/8 scale model comes in 5 different parts namely the Rock Cannon, BRS herself, a unique base of a broken chunk of flooring, a chain and an interchangeable hair for her blue flame that runs in her eye. Sometimes its weird that the cannon is even larger than her body size... So how the heck is she able to use it as a weapon?


Had to use a bit of lighting to brighten up the figure for a photoshoot. In this case a warm light from a table lamp I found in storage for a long time... It sure brightens up certain areas alright...


Looks pretty impressive nonetheless and made me photo trigger happy. It's been awhile since there isn't really much anime conventions at this time of year.


For more details on Black Rock Shooter, you could visit their main website here or perhaps in Wiki to find out what it actually is here. There's also a free a 50min anime DVD of BRS if you do purchase GoodSmile's BRS Nendoroid or Figma so you could find out more about it.

J's Chimes: Catherine Parody...

This puzzle solving genre game titled Catherine had certainly been set sights by artists around to create a parody of it. I had yet to played this game before but from what I'd heard is that the puzzles are certainly difficult as hell and even the most veteran players couldn't very much complete it with ease. Leaving at that, the game cover is used to create something similar with other anime characters...


The very first would be from the anime Gintama where Hasegawa Taizou is being gobbled by Catherine's blossom... Perhaps a bit worse than the Catherine in the game... The cover and design totally resembles the one above except the looks are more hideous...


I totally had no idea what this anime is but it seems like a fan art or something with the exact similar poses but of different characters and name... Perhaps this looks to be the most pleasant of the ones above without a doubt. Who wouldn't want to be cupped in between a girl's blossom? But beware... both Catherines above are demons if ya haven't already know what their characteristics are...

J's Chimes:Model And Scale Model

It's quite rare to see models posing with scale models of the very same kind. And even more rare to see a model cosplaying the exact same costume as Suzumiya Haruhi and her black bunny suit. Even better is that she looks about the same as her toy counterparts...


Whoever says 3D is bad should reconsider this... seriously... Perhaps this would change much of your thoughts...


Unfortunately the popularity of Suzumiya Haruhi has been dwindling ever since the new season's animes are up. Probably much of the fans now look up to Kirino Kousaka and other animes airing now... Maybe if you're fortunate enough, someone may just cosplay as this in some conventions happening around the world...

Taiwan No Pants Day

Scenes of notably underdressed young ladies greeted commuters in Taiwan recently, for the nation recently held its own version of “No Pants Day”:

Sadly for onlookers, the “pants” in question referred strictly to the American English usage of the word.
