Spring Anime 2012

Here in this spring, I felt that there was a couple of older manga was adapter which was reasonably refreshing as manga adaptations these days are getting lesser and lesser. Sankarea, Medaka Box and Mysterious Girlfriend X were some of my favourite reads a few years back when I was really into reading ecchi(oh the hormones). It was nice to relive those memories again a few years later in this season.

Among the 3, Sankarea really gets my recommendation for both reading and watching. The manga really was one of the most engaging back then and still is a good read. How will Rea battle the evils of decay and rigor mortis? Watch/Read to find out :)


















Mysterious Girlfriend X is another very nice manga, I found it strangely addictive to say the least when I first started reading it. Urabe is just so entertaining, in various ways....
















Last on the read list of course, is Medaka Box, I have been reading it since it was serialise but I can't really recommend reading it because I felt it was really your typical shounen battle manga unless you are into Medaka or the whole "mutant/abnormal/plus/minus/not equal" ability thing. The starting feels mixed up as you get many genres going together at once, not in a good way of course.

Loots and my room

So...... I was in China for a while for attachment, shall write more about that later. Here last month's loots :)


Found a small but great CD stall(push cart kind) selling all manner of anime cds. Managed to get, which shocked me, what seems to be a first print edition of lovelive's first single! Eli Ayase card score! Also bought off Museum 2 blu ray edition, a album which I wanted for a really long time but have been held off due to other singles getting greater priority. 

Also managed to get a pair of SRH840s for real cheap(1300 rmb) over there. It seems that the chinese really love AKGs and Shures over there. German brand Sennheiser is popular but much more expensive than Singapore while Beyers are not getting much love there save for clones from chinese audio brands iSK and Takstar.

Talking about the 840's, these would pretty much be my "checking phones" and somewhat a neutral reference when paired with my O2 amp. 


Spent my sunday setting up this fine NAD system in my bedroom so as not to bother my brother's. I can't let the speakers breath but they shine with some EQ and what nots. Thick bass and mids with rolled off treble are the perfect description for this system. Sounds great with my shure 840's too. I need a EQ board for it...
