AnimeXplosion....

Image hosted by Photobucket.comYesterday afternoon my son and I dropped by SM Megamall to attend AnimeXplosion, a trade show on the popular Japanese cartoon form. There were booths displaying and selling all sorts of stuff, from 3D modeling software, to robot action figures, to online multiplayer games, to PCs, to drawing lessons. There were some people dressed as anime’ cartoon characters, and a huge projection TV showed episodes of various anime’ shows. My son tended to gravitate towards the Gundam action figures exhibit (we have a small collection of Gundam action figures at home ourselves) as well the Sega booth which was promoting some oddball arcade game machine which uses different trading cards representing different beetles (yeah, you read it right the first time…beetles) which do battle. Some kind of entomological Pokemon match. Hmmm. What would the Japanese think of next? Here's a picture of my son by the Gundam exhibit:
