Today is the songstress of the galaxy’s birthday, and below is my tribute picture of this event.

Being a big Macross Frontier fan, I just would like to mention that movie 1 of Macross Frontier is finally released today in Japan. Hopefully it won’t be to long before the wider anime community can access this movie.

I managed to have a browse of this month’s December 2009 issue of Newtype Japan, and noticed some Macross Frontier spreads contained some images of the costumes that people may want to cosplay in the future or not of Ranka and Sheryl Nome. Below are images that are in this months Newtype.

During the Madman National Cosplay Championship Grand Final 2009, I passed the Manifest stall, and they were giving out promotional material for an Cosplay New Years Eve party. The event is going to be held at the Victorian Traders Hall with a live DJ’s that will be mixing tunes all night, while drinks and entertainment will take the form as burlesque shows. The event is 18+, and more details of this events can be found at the
Solstone website end of the news message. Below is a picture of the promotional material that was given out at the Madman National Cosplay Championship Grand Final 2009.

Today marked an important day in Melbourne’s and Australia’s anime community, with Madman hosting the Grand Final of their cosplay Championship. The Madman National Cosplay Championship Grand Final 2009 was hosted at the Sebel hotel near Albert Park, and the events started at 10am - 6pm. The Madman National Cosplay Championship Grand Final 2009 had a fair few actvicities going on thoughout the day like the Madman Theatre which enabled attendees to watch anime and go to various panels, also there was an Artists’s Alley to see what’s happening in the manga community and there was an Madman Anime Area to watch various anime that was playing throughout the day. There where two cosplay competitions occuring today, the regular cosplay competition that occurs for people attending the event, and the Madman National Cosplay Championship Grand Final.

Overall, despite the heat the day was funny and a Australia finally now has a national cosplay champion. Below is a BlackRockShooter cosplayer that attend the Madman National Cosplay Championship Grand Final 2009.

When I got into anime many years again, I wasn’t really into anime figures, but this year I have got a few anime figures, and my collection of anime figures has grown. Below are anime figures I have acquired this year. Out of interest I have a few anime figures on order, so one can say the anime figure bug has bitten me and I haven’t looked back.

This is my second review for reviewing Megami Magazine, so please go easy on me!
