This week loot 2

This week loot 2 - 001

This week I didn't think that was going to write a new post about something that I received, but last Thursday I received a non-expected parcel. Well, non-expected because I totally forget about it. And its content was, Kuroneko nendoroid.

This week loot 2 - 002

I love the faces with she comes. It's like she is saying: "There is no way that Meruru can be better than Masquerade!". But she also comes with Meruru DVD, And BRS too, besides Masquerade DVD. What didn't like me is that only comes with a piece of plastic and the DVD covers are stickers for that piece. That's annoying, you can't change between them too much.

This week loot 2 - 003

And that was the loot of this week. Let's see if next week appears something unexpected too.

Memories of Japan - 2010-08-08 - 3. Cuteness, hamburger and walk to Shibuya

Our first full day in Japan starts and we wake up in our disastrous first hotel. Luckily, the following hotels was all good. Everybody picked up their baggage and I took some pictures of our room. Bye bye horrible hotel, hope don't see you again.

After that, we went to our new hotel. Toyoko inn if I remember well. This time was a western style hotel with normal beds, but too much better than the other one. Well this really seems an hotel, the other one... I can't define. We left our baggage there and went out. Still was too early to do the check in. So we went to Asakusa to find a place to have breakfast. And we found a little coffee shop where, after our first tries to communicate, enjoyed delicious pancakes.

After breakfast, went to Harajuku. And there, we found our first, and more mythical, kawaii store, Kiddy Land. We spent some time in the seven floors of this big store full of cuteness. Later, we went to visit Meiji Jingu shrine. We spent our time there until was time to have lunch.

To have lunch, we went to Jonathan's. That's the place in the world where I ate the best hamburgers that I tasted. Totemo Oishiii~ And while my co-travelers chose more conventional drinks, I tasted Melon Fanta. Was very sweet! But tasted good.

After lunch, we decided try to go from there to Shibuya walking. Was fun. We stopped in a music store, with lots of floors, too. In the anime section was playing "No, Thank you!", the second K-ON!! ending. That is maybe the song that I listened more in this travel. We also stopped in a clothes shop that had One Piece posters outside.

After walk some time, we arrived to the mythical Shibuya crossroads. We took some pictures of the crossroads and some more of the Hachiko statue. Later, finally was time to go to the first manga and anime related place, Shibuya's Mandarake. I enjoyed a lot walking through bookcases with lots and lots of manga. There I also found some figurines and nendoroids hard to find with expensive prices. But I bought nothing that day.

After Mandarake's visit, was time to have dinner. We went to a typical Okinawa restaurant but without knowing it. Later, the waiter, that was very nice person, explained to us. Also explained and suggested some plates to choose. We enjoyed of a bit expensive but very good dinner.

After dinner, was time to come back to our new hotel. We still had to do the check in. After that, we went to our rooms. I checked my mail account, took a shower and watched TV a bit while the other people also checked their mail. And when everybody finished, bed time. Oyasumi!

Nagato nendoroid 3D pictures

These days I was playing a little trying to do an idea that I had. Make a 3D picture. Thinking on it a bit, doesn't seem very difficult. The 3D effect is caused because the every eye see an image a little different. Usually, a 3D picture is taken with 2 cameras at the same time, one near the other. But in a static scene actually is only needed one camera, taking first a picture, moving it a little and taking the other picture.

So I decided to try it. And who better to be the model than Nagato? Well, maybe if would exist a Kuroko nendoroid...

I took the 2 pictures, and now the problem is... how watch this in 3D? I know two techniques which are feasible to do it.

The first was the cross-eyed. Here you have to try to look the right image with your left eye and the left image with your right eye, crossing your eyes. Is a bit difficult at first but practicing a little you can do it. This is the picture to look using this technique:

And the other way is using a red/blue glasses. This is the picture to use with this way:

Obviously, you need a red/blue glasses to see it in 3D. To construct the picture I used a tutorial that I found in youtube.

I didn't hope that the result would be this good, so I'm very happy with this test. I hope take more 3D pictures soon.
