an otaku fan of all things moé
Earlier this week I met up with fellow Sydney anime bloggers M12, Optic, and Koshiko for a event filled with fun and anguish. One of the things that you have to look out for as a figure collector is bootleg items. In the past I and a few friends have been a victim, and Optic has recently been a victim as well. So we decided to show people how exactly you should treat bootleg figures. Hit the jump to read on on what we did.
あけましておめでとうございます！これからもよろしくおねがいします！
Akemashite omedeto gozaimasu! Kore kara mo yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
Well this is the third New Years that Moé Moé Rabu has gone through and with many things going to change this year I look forward to how my otakuism will turn out. 2008 was a big year and I hope 2009 can be just as big or possibly bigger. Though I don’t normally do this here is a few New Year’s resolution:
So I wish all my readers and fellow bloggers a Happy New Year and hope that you continue to read Moé Moé Rabu.
Note: I’m still drunk as I’m writing this. Sobering up with some Red Bull.
As the year draws ever closer to an end, it’s time to stop for a bit and look back at the year that was 2008. Although this year I didn’t complete a lot of series that I was blogging, as well as not blog for an entire season, I still ended up watching them through to the end. Like past years, I have a few rules when it comes to determining if a series belongs in a certain year:
So without further ado, here are my thoughts on the year 2008.
Best Action & Best Mecha - Macross Frontier
Without a shadow of a doubt that this year’s No.1 would be Macross Frontier. It provided all the action and more just more action that simply can’t be rivaled in any other series this year. Although transforming fighter planes is nothing new, it’s the principle that something from the past can still be so awesome in today’s otaku world.
Runner Ups: Code Geass (Best Action & Mecha), Hellsing Ultimate (best action)
Best Animation - Kara no Kyoukai 5th movie
Now most probably wouldn’t know about KnK 5 since the DVD doesn’t come out till January 2009, I did get to watch this in Japan back in August when it was screening on the big screen. But most know the quality of KnK movies so far and by far this is the winner for 2008.
Runner Ups: true tears, Wolf and Spice
With the New Year approaching us very soon, it’s time to look back at the year that was 2008 and see how far my BURNING PASSION has taken me. 2008 has definitely been an interesting year for me as many factors such as increased salaries, the ever decreasing amount of space in my room, the EPIC Japan trip, the world financial crisis, and my otaku burnout all play a role in my spending habits. So hit the jump to check out my report of the year 2008.

One of the perks about owning a dollfie is the ability to customise them. Customise as in dress them up in different attire to get a different feel, a different personality, and for my Erika I want to do exactly that. Although I’m not exactly knowledgeable in the realm of dollfies just yet, I do know that there are various items of clothing available for them, either produced professionally or even hand made. This is all good and all but I’m still stumped at what type of clothes I want for my girl. But as I was browsing the Volks Dollfie Dream section on the official site I saw this:
A hobby is something that takes our minds off the reality of the the daily grind. Our escape from stress and the path to finding enjoyment in life. Most of the time it’s something that we do in our free time, or even that step further by incorporating their hobby with their jobs. I unfortunately fall into the former category and free time is something I have little of these days. But recently my job has become a bit flexible over the past few months and it seems my otakuism is interfering. Hit the jump to read on.
Only a few minutes ago the clock struck midnight, and that means its Christmas here in Australia. So Merry Christmas to all my readers and I hope you get lots of presents and eat lots of food. For me this year there will be no presents from anyone but I don’t really mind. The money used to buy presents for family is going to a much GREATER CAUSE and it’s not otaku related either. But it’s something that I have been without for my entire life and something I have been longing for so many years.
Currently I’m on holidays from work for about a week and half so hopefully I have some time to actually get things done for the blog as well as around the house. But more importantly I hope I can also get back into some figure photography. I’m also thinking of organising some kind of Sydney Blogger meet up as I would like to meet some other bloggers and perhaps even some of my readers, but it’s all up in the air for the time being.
So once again Merry Christmas to all. Oh and Yuko in a Christmas outfit is win.
