This is real

Okay, I'm a huge Japanese history buff and when I saw the announcment online from just peeking at some Kenshin videos, I was sort of, "okay, as long as it isn't my idiot friend in Japan doing stupid stunts." Then my mouth went dry, I suddenly saw what looked to be a trailer for an actual movie.

Rurouni Kenshin live action was announced back in 2005 amongst us fans, not really to be taken seriously, we were almost always looking into it, thinking not true, not true, hell no, now well...history just decided to spit on our stupidity. Here in August 25th, Rurouni Kenshin live action will be playing in theaters in Japan.

While us Americans wait with our breath held hoping that we aren't skipped over for this. I already missing Mushi-shi and some other movies because of my lack of knowledge. I'll be following this to the quick and we will be announcing the dates and times on this blog.

If it comes to Colorado, hope to have you come join me at the Starz theater at the Tivoli.

Now just enjoy a trailer of what is to come!

Sakura Festival

I went to the festival and sadly, I couldn't find the little book shop in the shopping area that I got some of my history books and mythology books from. So sad...oh well...I will check to see if they will be at Dragon Boat Festival.

So far the literature I have been working with is the stuff I have had for awhile, it will work and I will have some more research materials.

Why I'm getting excited, time to get all the information and get it ready for the publishers, it isn't easy and I expect a lot of work ahead. So yes, anyone can ask me.

As for NDK, I'm just warning my fellow panelists to be careful of the director of panels and events, he's not really a trust worthy and a grump. I wish any panelist as NDK luck each year hoping that they continue a great tradition.

The Animeland Wasabi panels will be up and running soon, I'm not going to have a few problems like NDK had, I already learned that from someone that my After Dark Program was not at all successful. I decided to give it a break and try it again at Wasabi. We are working toward a large amount of Ghost Stories and other  scary things.

I'm going to also see if we can view Kaiden, a great movie that is a little dated, but I want to do the tales of Yuki Onna and other scary creatures.

Research time agian

Okay, as many people are trying to get a hold of me, try on here, I'm kind of going to be busy the next few weeks trying to keep up with research and posting my findings. I just found some manga and stuff that I'm dying to talk about on here. I'm certain people are not going to like this, but oh well...nothing I can do, research moves on.

As for plans for conventions, I'm going to make my usual appearance at NDK, but I'm possibly going to be just in the bar doing my research and trying to talk to people. Any friends who want to converse, come join me there. I'm glad to share notes and also experiences.

Panels for 2013, I'm going to be returning to my post on Mythology After Dark: Ghost Stories and Death Rites with my fiance at Animeland Wasabi. Any other conventions I'm speaking at will be posted on here, but I"m not planning anything too big for 2013.

Book plans, okay, the first fact that yes, the new draft was rejected, won't give up though...if anyone wants to give a hip hip hurray when it is finally accepted by a publisher, I will be giving a publishing party. I am going to request on thing though please don't invite yourself just yet, I will be giving formal invitations to anyone who wants to come.

Other news, sad stuff really, not sure how to say much on the matter, lost a few friends to the popularity thing, but that's expected. Anyway, let's get back to the positive light, the panels will be up and running for 2013.

Japanese Mythology, Vampires of Anime, and Ghost Stories will be top priority when it comes to working for Animeland Wasabi. Anyone who is willing to join the cast and help with the scary parts, please give me a call on here of course. No one else is going to be talking on the matter again on forums.

Please no announcing anything on the forums unless I'm the one to do the announcing, it is nice to have people talking and all, but it isn't a good idea to get ahead of ones self.
