Yes, it’s getting close to that time of year again – Animania Sydney! After a brief trip last year to the mini-animania event, Eastonroyce and I are again heading over to Sydney, this time for the major Animania event! Our tickets for Animania have been purchased, accommodation has been booked, so its official. Now all we need to do is organise travel – 9 hour trip by train, 7 hour trip by car or 2 hours by plane. (Plane is looking rather appealing to me..).

For the first time ever, Eastonroyce and I will be cosplaying at a convention. We are going as Haruhi Suzumiya and Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya! I’m so excited!! I don’t think we will be able to go in the cosplay competition though – afterall, we are getting our costumes made for us, but maybe we could enter and just do a skit or something? Either way I don’t mind. I think it will be fun to just dress up and shop all day!

What am I talking about? The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya of course! I know I caught on a bit later than most, but I am seriously addicted to the antics of Haruhi Suzumiya. I have just finished watching the entire series in airing order (what the?!), and am halfway through rewatching it again in chronological order, and I must say, I’m laughing just as hard this time around as I did the first time! Hands down my favourite episode is the baseball one with the bat reconfigured by Yuki to work in “Homing Mode” and the ball enchanted to land perfectly in the keepers glove, no matter how wide the pitch is. Kyon’s comment about “the fate of the World rests on my pitching” and that “the World really isn’t worth much these days” is classic. Read More…
