Touhou 12.8 - Fairy Wars

Recently ZUN released his latest Touhou game, Touhou 12.8 - Fairy Wars at Comiket 78. Which featured Cirno the ice fairy as playable character as well as the "three fairies" from the manga "Oriental Sacred Place/Strange and Bright Nature Deity" as bosses. The game seems to be a buildup of ideas developed from ZUN's previous games, Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoilers as well as mesh between the usual danmaku stage game play style.

SMASH 2010

If you're an anime fans out there living in Ausland particularly in Sydney, I'm sure that you would all know about the anime convention  SMASH - Sydney Manga and Anime Show. This year's convention at Sydney Townhall featured awesome guests from both the US and Japan, with the prime theme of the guest list on the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. The list featured Yuko Miyamura and Tiffany Grant, the English and Japanese seiyuus of Asuka  Langley as well as the English dub director Matt Greenfield.

The convention featured quite a range of different stands from figure shops, manga bookstores to magazine signup. As well as a gaming area which I personally didn't find very interesting, since  they were pretty much common console games with no real exclusives.
