Accessories  

You can't find items of that sort at your place? No shops that specifically cater to anime patrons?

Yeah, if we can't find some, we make them ourselves ^_^ getting creative with material availability as well.

Wow, of all the Sailor Warriors, Mars is my fave ^0^

Has the manga ended already? I mean InuYasha? Or is it still on-going?

Yo can't find manga around here either... I've never seen a manga magazine of any kind.
They used to air Inuyasha on TV. Now I'm planning to download all the episodes from the Internet, but that's going to be a hard job...

And to think that the manga seems to be still on going, please correct me if I'm wrong, it'll be more difficult I guess even if your have a spare 80 Gig space for the episdoes that you are planning to download.. well, that is if they really animated the whole manga..

I don't need that much space, because I intend to write the episodes on DVDs and 80GB means about 20 DVDs. It will be harder to find all the episodes...

If your computer can write on Dual Layered DVDs, that would also be better than the ordinary recordable DVDs ^_^

Yeah, with a number of episodes, its going to be a hard hunt. I wish a particular group subbed the whole lot of episodes and not a multitude of groups since, aside from availability issues, the quality of each group would vary..

well, that's just what I think..

Not only the sub quality will vary, but also the video quality, depending of the source that captured the episodes...
But that doesn't matter so much. all I want is to see all the serial, they never showed all the episodes on TV here so I have no idea how the story continues or how (if) it ends... (please don't tell! I want to see it by myself)

Hahaha! I will tell you in full detail.....!

No, I'm just kidding, I don't like spoilers too so I won't do that to you. I know how it feels to be robbed off on anxious anticipation. ^_^

I recommend the manga ^_^

There are a lot of self-help books or even ebooks available! A little motivation is all you need when your resources are really little and there comes your creativity ^_^

I also want to do cosplays but I really don't know a good character to portray..

^_^

haha.. you can choose your most favorite character or a character that you resembles or the character that you will best portray. ^__^

I really want to cosplay a character that would be easy to do with my physical attributes so I can focus on the detailing on the outfit ^_^

Yeah, a lot of those are around most of the anime shops in our malls ^_^

And yeah, Death Notes were really popular and I had a classmate in college who graduated with high honors who made her own death note. It probably had names of some of our professors with some very detailed death scenarios :p

Lol, if she was an honor student, how come she wants to kill your teachers? XD

Its just a probability.. why make a Death Note if you had no inclinations of trying to use it, even if its not the real thing. I'm not sure anyway so that's why I said probably..

And, being academically proficient doesn't necessarily mean that you are also morally attuned.

(^I was joking there)I know! The perfect example is LIght from Death Note. A genius gone wrong.

I know that you were "LOL" already is a give-away ^_^

I was just riding along with a factual response :)

A Death Note, the one of Ryuk or that of Rem?

I don't remember Light Yagami using a quill at any time he was shown writing names on the note book.. I usually saw a pen.

Mokona... Yean, I think a Magic Knight Rayearth Mokona.. big enough to resemble a Mokona?

Thank you for responding ^_^

I don't know where the quill came from but you can buy it as a set though lol.

Yeah, my Mokona's around 13 inches tall :)

So your boy still uses an ink bottle when using that quill of his?

Nice scale for a Mokona ^_^

It's a pen in the guise of a quill.

I see.. so that's how they made it..

Thank you.

The ones I see on the shops are just pens and finding out that you knew someone who got a quill got me wondering ^_^

I see, sports themed animes are easily available when it comes to accessories. Hmmm, I guess popularity makes it available as well.

Some animes aren't really that well looked at so some merchendise aren't available at some shops. Once, I found Kurapika's (Hunter-X-Hunter) chains but now, they aren't available anymore.

Thanks for the post, shinjiao!

Wow, your lucky to comeby with availability of such items at your place.

Most of the items that get available here are dependent on the recent anime as well as the most in demand by the buyers.

That's why its so hard to get items like shades of Vash Stampede for example.

If you're having a lot of trouble finding good items you may want to keep an eye on Ebay. Before stores around here began to start selling more anime, and by proxy anime merchandise, I used to haunt the Ebay auctions. That is where I got the majority of my doujinshi collection, for example. And a lot of the fan-made items were purchased off of Ebay too.

I see.. its just that it isn't as convenient as it would be in my situation. I would usually deal with C.O.D.s but most often, they want transaction either electronically or through bank deposits which I ain't sure of at the moment. ^_^;
