J's Chimes: Review Under Way.

Much have changed in Blogger's Interface and design after a 9 month hiatus from updating this website. Been contemplating whether to update this website or not ever since I've started working. Still it drives me still having to see the counter increasing even after a long halt. Anyway, am back! However I do need to do some reviews and such first because of the many changes Blogger has in placed which does make updating a bit more different now. Thus am also thinking of revamping this site once again once we have all the things sorted out. Until then, here's a nice little video to keep start this new beginning once again.

J's Chimes: Welcome Aboard The AFA Bus...

Seems like preps for the coming Anime Festival Asia 2011 is well under way and ads have started appearing in all shapes and sizes... Yep, even to our transportation vehicles. Seems like they Ita buses to advert this event. Hopefully this is gonna be good too because this is also the very first AFA event in which I've bought tickets to watch the concert. A pretty hefty price I must say but it well worth it with all the famous idols coming to Singapore for the concert.


AFA will be held in Singapore on the 11 November 2011, an auspicious day indeed for many people around the world to get married too... Well that's what they believe... In any case, 111111 also marks the launch of a much awaited game by Illusion soft too which may excite lots of fans around the world too... Not gonna spoil it so soon so wait for more updates later on...

J's Chimes: AFA Is Back!

The Anime Festival Asia is back once again and am so looking forward to it. Reason being that I've also bought the tickets for the concert. Though it cost a bomb, I guess it's worth it once in a while since this event only happens once a year. AFA 2011 will commence from 11 Nov to 13 Nov 2011 and am hoping it be the best out of the other 3 years previously. And of course, that includes purchasing of more models and anime in that coming event...


Am also looking forward to Hatsune Miku's concert which will happen on the 11 Nov 2011. Heard it be the same as the 3D projection performance that took place back in Sapporo Japan recently too. Still, there's about a month away from all the excitement so trying to contain myself for the time being and update more of AFA when it's closer. For more information about AFA, you can view their website at http://www.animefestival.asia/

J's Chimes: Let's Talk Anime...

So J's Chimes is finally back... And had so much to talk about now about animations and stuff because 5 months + had gone by... And of course, the coming new season is fast approaching with all of this season's anime ending soon. Coming season would probably be a blast with many good animes like Shana, Fate and Persona airing. Of course there are none other than all time faves Working, Bakuman, etc. Can't wait to watch the other animes coming up soon too.


Lots of OVAs and specials also coming up next season which includes Kimi Ni Todoke, Seitokai Yakuindomo and such... I am so already filled with much of animes to watch this season and hopefully would still be able to catch up soon for the ones coming next season. Anyway, J's Chimes will start off soon by looking back into animes we enjoy from the present to the past so stay tune for more updates...

J's Chimes: We'll Be Up And Running Again Soon...

After much consideration, I had decided to carry on with blogging here instead because of the website's flexibility. Facebook does have its limitations so it really is not a viable option to startup a discussion there. Anyhow J's Chimes will soon be able to receive new postings soon... Catch more updates later this week.

J's Chimes: It's Been A While...

It's been 5 months since J's Chimes had stopped posting and entered a long hiatus all thanks to the new change of lifestyle am in now. Yep, university is finally over and getting ready to step out to the real world... I believe many would had thought that J's Chimes is long gone, but somehow it's the beginning of a new platform that I would be creating. After much consideration, I had decided to start a new group named 'Japanimation Themes' in Facebook. This new group will focus on all the Japanese anime opening and ending themes from the past till now. It may take a while to fully make this operational but it is under way. Nevertheless, J's Chimes will not be shutdown and would probably be link to the new group depending on circumstances. We do hope that you could join us when the time comes... Watch out for new updates...

J's Chimes: Failed Toys...

One of the many reason why toys shipped to Singapore has to be checked other than its lead content and whether it should be safe for kids to play with... However, some toys really are extreme in a sense that they might look innocent but turns out to be really wrong...


Does that reminds you of the Nazi from world war 2? This toy would definitely cause some stir among people...


Just as the package said... But why the heck is it for Ages 5 and up?


Does that look like something that adults would think of? And best of all, it glows too...


Innocent but deadly... Imagine having kids to fiddle with that thing while playing with this cuddly toy... With a bonus to squirt too!


The best ultimate failed toy... Ok, so the toy is named Zorro but why the heck is Batman in the picture? I can explain the horse by the side but this is ridiculous... What's worse is that the action figure is Spiderman instead... Epic win!

J's Chimes: Gantz In Singapore...

It is strange that the live action movie Gantz is still not yet showing in Singapore due to the fact that it has already been out for quite a long time. Heard that Malayysia is already showing it i the movie screens on the 7th April. However though the movie does have some critics and such because of the massive censorship that that might added in. Not to mention the extreme gore content and violence in the manga. Whether or not it is truly devoted to the manga no one is ever sure unless we watch it. But seriously Gantz has already gone to greater heights and change of storyline in the latest episode of the manga series... This movie is just the beginning of a much more terrible story later on....
