Sanbei Gaeshi!

White Day has just passed (yesterday), has anyone been offering their gifts of whiteness? (INB4 stupid sexual innuendo commenters who ruin the classy-ness of my post)

Well, I’m at work as off now and hells abound I am locked up like a pigeon in a Peking Roast Duck.

But lo and behold! Here I am.

Which is really sad because that proves that even a prude of a web filter (who blocked even hotmail, much less Twitter) does not recognise KK as a blog/social media site.

Ouch.

Still, I am grateful. But I digress.

Have we talked about White Day before? Sure we haven’t. (Think so)

Basically, White Day is a (highly commercialised) Japanese day (non-holiday day) held on the 14 March. Males who have received any Valentine’s Day Gifts are socially obliged (and more than happy to usually) to return gifts as thanks on this day.

Which is a pain in the ass.

The gift has to be white in nature and some people (Wikipedia) believe that the gift must be THREE TIMES in value of the original Valentine’s Day Gift. As a fellow human, I realise that white things that can be passed as gifts are terribly hard to find, much less white gifts that have to cost 3x a box of chocolates.

“Let’s buy a 3x larger box of white chocos and get it over with.”

…is what almost every guy thinks. Either that or a bottle of suspicion white fluids.

Oh oh! Fun fact, White Day started as a gimmick to get males to buy candies for females who have bought candies for them. Marshmallows for that matter. (COMMERCIAL HOLIDAYS FTW)

SO WHAT, THREE TIMES MARSHMALLOWS IN VALUE? A LORRY OF MARSHMALLOWS OH GOSH.

-scans the wiki on giri-chocos and honmei-choco-

HOSHIT I JUST REALISED I GAVE RATHER EXPENSIVE CHOCOLATE TO MY SENIOR.

AND THAT’S CONSIDERED HONMEI CHOCO.

D:

So how about our dear readers? Do you follow White Day traditions?

(Male readers really should, because artists always draw white day picture of various anime characters wrapped only in ribbons and covered in slick slick white cream.)

Picture for the (yaoi-loving) womenfolk

–

Oh, sidetalk a bit. We will…

NOT HAVE PODCASTS DUE TO INABILITY OF MYSELF D;

NOT HAVE MONHUNT POSTS BECAUSE I GAVE UP MH D;

Oh but we will have April’s Fool. Look forward to it.

–

Finally, because White Day originated from Japan and the Japanese aren’t in the best of shape to celebrate it, let’s all just pray for them and wish them a better white Day next year.

(Incidentally, disasters bond people like superglue so maybe next year’s White Day will have ultra-turnover :9)

Nano out!

I hope my boss doesn’t catch me.

Long made short, we have two guest writers shot down, I am lying around doing nothing most of the time, Fariz does not come here as often anymore and poor (but rich) Fuzzy is being reduced to girly tears by his (not scanning) scanner.

We need direction! Again!

So, dear readers, please donate generously as if we were wikipedia what would you like to see more of in Kyouran?

1) NSFW images. (None other shall suffice!) How much can you take? Would you like risque content? Of course you do. But how much? Enough to make Fuzzy say, “ALRIGHT ALRIGHT NANO YOU WIN, YOU MAY TURN 50% OF THE SITE INTO SANKAKU’S IMAGE POST REPOSTER OMFGG”?

2) Podcasts? I have no idea. That was an idea Kevinayp from Vocaloidism brought up from the dregs of my mental bin of extraordinary doujins ideas. It may not be top-class but if you ask, we will deliver. And if we podcast, what shall it touch upon?

How to speak English? How to admire figurines? How to save money like Fuzzy? How to NOT save money? Songs? Etc?

3) CAN WE DO MONSTER HUNTER POSTS HERE? PLEASE?

Oh, and because someone stated that it was puzzling why I deign to post such rubbishy (I am devastated) stickman pictures instead of expressing my wonderful England into everyone’s faces, I shall not have pictures in this post.

Thank you.

With Great Bravado and Appreciation,

Nano

P.S. Maybe it’s just me but black words on the brown-black background of Kyouran’s page is just IMPOSSIBLE to read without highlighting. It kind of twists my eyeballs in and out simultaneously.

Comment: Yeah, so shad. Everyone was so happy.

THAT’S ALL FOR DAY 1! WAIT, YOU YELL. WHAT ABOUT THE MIKUCONCERT LAG? I calmly say, what Miku Concert? ;D

INB4 EVERYONE RAEGQUIT

Comment: I’m telling you, I WENT BLIND THERE AND THEN. 3.3

Comment: Really. NO HYPE MANAGED TO INFECT ME. oAo

Comment: Yeah, big shock and terror there. Luckily @Hit_TP was there and told me what happened really.

Oh no, GSC OBVIOUSLY did it intentionally. Later in the OVA the star on BRS’ windbreaker peels off during battle.

Later in the OVA, Black Gold Saw will lose her eyes too, and the figures will be shipped out faceless.

STR loses an arm, and Dead Master loses a horn and wing. The figurines are shipped armless and horn+wingless respectively.

So yeah, Fuzzy is like my Seersman forever. He is so awesome.

: D

–

DONE.

Comment: Yeah, so AFAX, very little impact actually. Sorry gais.

THAT’S RIGHT KIDS. I ONLY DREW ONE COMIC.

Nah, I’m staggering them because as a engineer in training, I support the steady flow notion.

MOAR TMR!

So is the Kaname and -aira- thing.

Actually, that’s because I just stop and ogle whenever -aira- photos pop up. :3c

So… Day 2 cosplay!

Situation first. So Zone 3 was cleared of debris and the peasant folk began to emigrate from the cargo hull of Error 404. Also, Suntec/AFAX management kinda got eco-friendly and left almost all the lights of 404 dead. I think Suntec did it. So lightning inside SUCKS.

Wait: OH WAIT OH WAIT THERE’S HATSU-NEWS TO BE SAID SO AFK THIS POST.

Back.

So… Wall of photogs already spawning…

Another Freyr from Chobits. Not sure if its Day 1′s.

Right. These must be Kingdom Heart Mask Riders! -shot-

This one… Something cool-looking. orz

Mashup

Unknown maid

World Embryo’s version of an Anbu. 8D

Some characters.

Madame Red?

Another Sandplay Luka. YES GUYS, I KNOW THERE’S WAY TO MANY VOCALOID COSPLAYS. BELIEVE ME, I KNOW.

Some angel thing.

Armor dude who sadly did not stay still for much so I got blurred shots due to slowpokenano

Went back in and saw DannyChoo for the bazillionth time and he was having pictures taken. Is this considered cosplay? It doesn’t look ninja IMO, more like Japanese houseservant. :/ Ignore that DC fanboy. They just kept posing with him for shots.

Deathnote’s Misa

MonitorOnHeadDJMan – I think it’s Airgear

Iunno.

BRS

Samurai girl thing

Saber Lily

Mr ANBU is crying because he’s not Mr ANBU.

Alice in Wonderland thing?

League of Generally Unknown – I have an inkling that it’s Granado Espada. Pirate Adeline & Default Musketeer?

KISS X SIS!!! orz-point: I only realised when I noticed the bandaid on one of their faces

Some Narutoos playing rock-paper-scissors

Defense Devil cosplay – They are Singapore’s representatives for the Cosplay Competition. Pretty cool duo.

That Roaring Guy From Sengoku Basara dude.

Nuclear Meltdown Rin (Is it Nuclear? Or just Meltdown. I wanna listen to Meltdown -headphones-)

Misa again

Here, a child wonders WTF Mr ANBU is

Went into the 404 chamber after that. At the later parts of AFAX, the people started to lose their inhibitions and began orgies. o_o

There was this strange wave after wave of yaoi pairings and everyone just ran in and out like the tides

SIMCA. OH GOD, WHY IS THAT PINK THING IN THERE DAMNIT. ARGH

NO IDEA. I THOUGHT IT WAS TETO. ORZ

Beato and Virgilia from When the Seagulls Cry. Or was it Sigh? Wait, is it even seagulls? Maybe it’s crows. Uhhh… Cross-check please?

Misa AGEN.

Like, the one Touhou cosplay I wanted to take photos off. MARISA-ALICE SHIPPERS UNITE!

Actually, I prefer Sakuya X Marisa more but there’s less of that. And there’s Yukari X Reimu and Yuyuko X Youmu. Haha, Nano is YuriBoy. :9

Not cosplay but this is what the queue (or lack of) for the Free-Standing Concert goers was like. WTF GAIS.

We end with MisaBookHammer

Well, does anyone want the Kaname -aira- or Cosplay Competion posts? And which one takes priority if so?

The stickmens WILL be up by… TOMORROW FOR SURE. PROMISE. I SWEAR THIS ON… FUZZY’S FUR.

I will be NON COMMUNIQUE from Friday till Monday so even if I’m doing the Kaname post, it would be next week. Sorry.

P.S. Moe tag for the Misa

Please comment in… ALL OF THEM. PLEASE. I NEED THIS. ;A;

This is a Hunter. This is like, :/. This is why I wonder people even bother to waste money on L4D when SC2 is to be had.

Anyway, my photos are TERRIBLE. I have no control over what I was doing so I hoped things turned out ok. If you don’t mind, tell me what on earth happened and how I can correct myself because I’m now blur as F-

“Wai you get LX3-chan and then screw up like that Nano? You had an old camera right?”
“Yeah, I wrecked all the batteries.”

Right. So for Day 1, there was no Ground 3 for the cosplayers. Rather this strange trailer park was opened for the hobos to enter. Oh, did I say hobos? I meant cosplayers. Whoops. :9

Nano just learnt, “White-Balance!”

Honestly though, this year is… unspectacular. I had to forcefully put on my “GAWDTHAT’SAWESOME” GOOGLES to feel like I saw looking at something cool.

There was this RinLen cosplay. Nameitwillyou.

Because this was like, my first photo, it was blurred and dark like FUCK. I’m sorry. This was one of the nicer cosplays and I goof’d. ;A;

Also, I’m terrible to the point that I’m so slow at taking a photo. 1 NanoShot = 3 NormalShots Or >9000 HexLordShots or something.

@TheFuzzy commented: “This Miku is very anger because of you Nano.” Me: “OxOlll”

I have no idea who.

@TheFuzzy was like, “Hey, Nano! Uihara!” Me: “WHERE WHAR WHA- Oh.” -snap and sob sob sob- I’m sorry! It’s just that… -sob-

This is a cosplayer.

Think this is MikuLoard’s friend. She cosplayed really nicely. :9

Honestly, if that cannon fired, that BRS would be like HRS. HeadReallyShot.

Troll on a Spy on a Troll on a Spy on a Troll on a Spy on a…

Normal RinLen. D’awwww…

Someone we don’t know cosplaying something we don’t know too. But -whistle-.

This one I know! I-It’s… uhh… WhiteMiku! (SnowMiku) Oh yeah, just stating but her skirt nearly like, exposed her at the back. o////o

RinLen in some tribal kitsune mask thingamabob

Bayonetta X Dante crossover? Sorry for the bad light. orz

I KNOW THIS ONE FOR SURE! THE WHITE ONE IS CHI AND THE BLACK ONE IS TAI (No, it’s Freyr). YEAH! 8D

LED SnowMikus/Mikuos

Hot hot action here.

Sandplay Luka!

And bareback too! oDo

Dunno who this character is but it’s nice.

So then, there was Panty & Stockings and there was a wall of air raep.

Think I really messed it up. Also, sgAmirul quietly said: “But old leh… :<”

Rin in (?)

Kaito, also (?) Gosh, I need to get more info! orz

A Len is reinforce!

Saihate Rin

Haku and Luka in that one I keep seeing but never put a name on… orz

OH GOD I’M TERRIBLE AT PHOTOS AND NAMING THEM OH GOSH.

Please help name them under the comments, greatly appreciated!

That’s all for this night. More tomorrow!

Well, apologies for that really terrible post earlier! I’m deciding to cut the posts into parts!

This one is the photos that seem to have no relation to anything at all.

Followed by Cosplays of Day 1.

Cosplays of Day 2.

Kaname(Star) & -aira-. (Because I need to crop and maybe it’ll suck.)

Cosplay Competition. (Because everyone fought it, it really sucks cliches.)

Stickmens will be mixed in somewhere. I apologise for the horrible time schedule since any posts 1 week after AFAX is technically obsolete.

Meanwhile… WTF FEIDAMU YOU  THING YOU BETRAY THE POORKIND AND NOW YOU MOONKIND FFFFFFFFFFFFF

So what happened on Day 1?

Basically, there was a terrible lack of queueing this year. Ticketing had a queue thankfully but the way in was like one giant Spawning Pool. @Hit_TP and I kinda stood at the side while @Feidamu, @TheFuzzy and @FarizAsuka just swam in the front.

Then the doors opened and one faggot shouted “SCRUM”. Idiot. Don’t insult rugby with your baka-weebs. I bet you all wouldn’t last under a scrum probably anyway.

In we go!

After just strolling in, we find the KKnM already long enough to go around a corner and edging into the exits. @TheFuzzy and @Feidamu inside queue. Tasked to find @FarizAsuka. Ran off.

There he is!

Mikuloard playing

There was the figurines on display inside. Typical GSC airing their figurines to lustful eyes.

Back to KKnM and OMFGGWTFBBQ to be had.

Ran away from the humans. I haz homosapiennophobia.

“Quick! Someone explain to me how lightsabers are anime related!”
“Umm, because Saber is a very well-known FSN character?”

Ita-buggy. For like, the itasha guys who play golf.

The Shrine of Toohoo

The first cosplayer I saw! Yay! Nanoha! (Turns out she was with Bushiroad or something?)

A Certain Malwarez Site makes its presence known. Oh, the pictures are cute. I think they are by someone from Bobkurasu Brigade.

Wandered back to the display figurines. More people there now. This is the one Figma I actually want but stopped myself from getting.

Dropped back to SEGA’s area and @TheFuzzy said this guy is playing a slow song to drag out his time which makes him a douchebag.

Is that even a guy playing? o_o I have no idea anymore. It is playing. IT.

60 MINS!?! O-O SEGA, PLZ PUT MOAR BOOTHS. PEOPLE WILL LIKE, SUCK YOUR TOKENS TO PLAY.

But not me.

A New Queue Has Spawned! .o. This one goes into the Stage zone.

So there was also this shad shad ronery ronery machine here.

@TheFuzzy being coaxed into buying a 15 dollar poster. This salesman is HARDCORE.

But he sucks at maths because he accused @TheFuzzy of paying short. WTF? FUZZ MCSCROOGE NEVER COUNTS WRONGLY.

My two Dead(blog)Masters

Legendary MIRAI itasha is appears! Nano takes 3 shots!

So when they said Ministage, I think they meant Microstage

KTV. THEY ALWAYS HAVE ONE. AND IT’S LIKE, ALWAYS GUYS SINGING THOSE LOVELY FEMALE SONGS. WTF. MY EARS ARE BLEEDING FUCK.

Cafe McCreepy

Mikuloard goes back to fight the SEGA! But no Disappearance. Loard, I am disappoint.

This song. I don’t know what. I like, need to update ALL the songs. i only know StarrySky now and that’s not Vocaloid! /o\

Then we went in for Gundam 00 Trailblazer. I got to sit all the way at the back and I swear it was so small that I went blind so when FlowerFuck began I was like, 3.3 and didn’t receive any damage.

So that’s the Day 1 UnCosplays+1!

I seriously need help with my camera. Someone teach me! ;o;

–

P.S. Oh yeah, you know that SGMalwarezCafe mascot pictures I took? Yeah, this lovely lady did it AND I think she was that Kirino cosplayer @TheFuzzy and I (And SGAmirul) saw and went like, “Woah, this is good stuff.” Yeah, this blogger/artist/cosplayer is like GOD. Go over to her comic log first to tide over your addiction for pictorial coverage.
