Usually i wouldn’t care about Saimoe, much less making a blog post about it, however, theres always an exception for things, right? Well, as you can see on the title itself. Yes, Mio got owned in this year’s Saimoe by Kana from Minami-Ke.

Coming from a person that watch neither K-On orMinami-Ke, even i know that its IMPOSSIBLE to beat Mio considering her popularity. Speaking of popularity? See for yourself: http://www.google.com.my/search?hl=en&q=saimoe+kana&btnG=Search&meta= (thanks to Kuzuryu for the linkup)

Staged? Rigged? Conspiracy theory? RAGE?! In my opinion, its obviously staged/rigged whatever, but still, its amusing to see how hard this gets raged on. To *somewhat* proof it, refer to this chart courtesy of Animesuki forumers linked by JCdish: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=2567861#post2567861

Lets see if the fans from K-On would send out death threats or do something stupid out of this whole Saimoe raging

After a long hiatus, be it being randomly lazy or just simply busy (my new job, well, technically new job, sorta takes up a tad bit more of my private time.) hindering my posting, i think it is about time i continue working on Daicon. You know, i REALLY like to have a complete event write up and past track record isn’t doing well (AFA08/CF08 lol) and i am fearing for the upcoming GACC. The salvation to that though, is that I’m not an official media/blog affiliate for GACC nor am i interested in being one, so that would take a wee bit of “pressure” off and i could pretty much do as i pleased, which includes, not giving a shit a bout it at all… nah j/k lol. I am attending GACC ^^;

So continuing from previous highlight, which you can find here, or the entire Daicon related posts right here, today’s highlight would be featuring Solomon Freeman aka Wisefreeman aka Dance Trooper!

Long story short, that is basically the most accurate cosplayer of Danny Choo. Either head over to the link, or refer here: http://www.dannychoo.com/profile/eng/ for info about Danny Choo.

Totally loving the performance that Solomon put up, and someone actually recorded it too which you may view here:

LOL at the technical hiccup at the start  But yeah, awsm performance overall

Also a couple more others which Solomon just updated me with:

There is also a second performance which is a group performance. And for Solomon, he is paired with Mio (you may check out her previous gallery) which was pretty entertaining as well. Not to forget the mishaps (which, bear in mind, rather in character for Mio) during stage which you can see below(including a newly updated YouTube video):

Like the previous gallery. for the rest of the pictures, simply head over to the full gallery right here: http://www.quazacolt.com/galleries/daicon-2009-day-1-part-2-highlight-gallery-dance-trooper/

So all’s left is Day 2, and the event coverage Aw hell, i think id just skip the whole coverage altogether and just photo spam JC’s previous all-text posts lol, we’ll see how it goes.

Phew! TONS and TONS of pictures to process from the photo shoot sessions of both days. Considering Jcdish did a fine job on the previous write ups (much thanks again!), and god knows when i would actually get my own write up done, i figured that the most appropriate thing to do now is to get out those much awaited pictures

Another thing to note, based on past ACG event experiences,  it would still take time for me regardless on the full day coverage pictures, and since most people are more eager for the main dish more than anything, i will first do a “highlight gallery” for Daicon 2009 Day 1, which are a few K-On cosplay photoshoot sessions. Later on i will post the full coverage pictures.

In case you aren’t familiar with K-On (oh rly?), you may refer here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-on

Just so i get this clear, i don’t watch k-on, not a single episode, and i don’t particularly hate it till now.(inb4flame) Almost a huge majority of first day pictures are k-on, something i *quite frankly* have zero interests with. Alas, i still went on with it simply because the cosplays are accurate and its being played by gorgeous/cute/pretty (insert moar appraisals ya?) girls. And boy am i glad i did went along. Not only did i learned something new from valho (will explain a little on a later post), the pictures I’ve taken were quite, surprising, even to myself. You be the judge:

Mio

Yui

Mugi

Aside from the lack of proper wig and eye brow (really thick ones) for Mugi, Mio and Yui were pretty accurate. (Refer to the first picture) Unfortunately, Ritsu wasn’t present and i was informed that she is stuck in Austrafailia (hai shinn!)

For the rest of the pictures, simply head over to the full gallery right here: http://www.quazacolt.com/galleries/daicon-2009-day-1-highlight-gallery-k-on/

There will be a part 2 as well for day 1, so stay tuned. Day 2 highlights are done, however being put on hold due to a cosplayer’s request. Once that gets sorted out it will be up immediately.
