IMPORTANT: I’ve Moved to Otaku-Surf.com

  

The New Otaku Surf Web Site.

     After much consideration I’ve decided to move the website to www.otaku-surf.com If you’ve got this site bookmarked please update. I figure now is the time to change it up just a bit since I’m starting to get into a bit of HD video/film projects related to Anime Conventions. 

A still of an HD movie I shot of a cosplayer doing a rehearsal performance of a Deathnote Skit at Anime Mid-Atlantic 2009.

    I’ve already put up two HD movies shot with my camera, but I don’t expect to lessen my interest or my gundam photography. I’ll still continue to do it, even moreso, since I’ve invested a bit more into the new website. Hope you guys like it and I’ll see you on the other side!

And without further ado, you can find the new site at:

Unity Mei – Unity Marriage Figure

The Unity May Figure by Good Smile Company.

     Unity Mei is a character from the Eroge game Unity Marriage. I got this figure after I saw a few reviews online of it. I really don’t collect figures, this and my Revoltech Yoko, are the only real female figures I have, but I really had to get this one. The color scheme is well done especially with the flowers thrown Unity’s awesome capes.

    This figure is my first static figure in a very long time, so I took a few pictures of Mei with a background I thought would fit her design and not necessarily her color scheme.  

    Anyhow, I really like the figure and it’s become a permanent fixture on my desktop along with my new macbook pro, which I took pictures of Unity with. Seems like the popular thing to do is to take pictures of your figures with the Mac OS X desktop in the background which I do with this figure as well. 

    As with Moonlight Candle, the figure has me interested in the Unity Marriage game which looks pretty cool judging by the art and graphics on the website.

Hayate no Gotoku: Season 2 Episode 1

Hina and the student council from the ending song of Hayate no Gotoku's Season 2 first episode.

     My favorite comedy anime is back! It’s been a long wait since the end of the 52 episode Hayate no Gotoku Season 1. And what better way to reward me for my wait then an ending song featuring my favorite character from the series, Hinagiku Katsura and the student council backing her up. 

     One thing I’ve noticed is that the animation is a tad bit different than the fist season and that’s because J.C. Staff is taking over after they did the brief OVA a few weeks back. I would describe the animation as being a bit more simple looking than SynergySP which isn’t a bad thing.

The official Japanese Hayate no Gotoku Homepage, that they just recently redid, chock full of info and merchandise.

     When we left Hayate, a combat butler that can beat the hell out of any-type of Mechas that get in his way, he still owed a huge amount of money because of his good for nothing parents and working for the tsundere-otaku-rich girl Nagi Sanzen’in, and getting into some crazy situations with Nagi and her friends at school.

     After the opening song of the new episode we’re treated to a brief overview of last season and get into the episode where a race is coming up for the school, and Hayate sees his chance to get Nagi outdoors.
