Valentines + Lunar new year greetings (Tsundere flavour)

Asuka: Its…Its not like I did this specially for you or anything! J..just take it…okay?

Special thanks to GAINAX for all the love!

SO! its the new year at last, and we here at CDS thank you for your continued support and unwavering dedication to Moe. Have a spanking great time ahead in the year of the Shimapan- Tiger, and may all otaku have a great time with their Waifus on this ronery Valentines day! We have a very special lineup of projects for our fans this year, including a potential *GASP* fully original project, so be sure to stay tuned for updates!

Its…its not like we did this specially for you either! You can get the wallpaper from clicking on it, b..but its not like you want to anyway!

The Highs and Lows of SOY’B

Our simple backdrop. It gets emptier as everyone wants Azusa. Where is the Ritsu love?

SOY’B came and gone in a single day. It was a very enjoyable event even though I could not catch the actions within the LTs. I heard it was good. So good that the artists who are supposed to man the booth keep disappearing into the LTs. *grumble grumble grumble* I had fun selling our products and talking to those who bothered to talk to us. It is especially nice to meet our supporters and those who had bought our stuffs before. I like feedback and those that we got, we will work on it!

This is a brief ‘report’ of SOY from the POV of a booth owner. To me, there are some high points at SOY, plenty in fact, and an unfortunately low point.

Kicking off with Soy’B

Soy’B is the third of the start-of-year cosplay event organized by Ngee Ann Polytechnic Japanese Tsubasa Club. Held on 30th Jan 10, it will be at the LT68 area from 11am to 6pm. Unlike previous years, there is actually an admission charge of $5 at the door. Don’t let that deter you since there might be dorama.

Once again, CDS will be present this year to support this local event and to sell our products. Our booth will be at D04, near LT68D.  Be sure to drop by and talk to us!

Rounding up the year

EOY booth. Black Label side. Don’t ask.

Yes. After a month of procastination and nagging from the Evil Overlord, I have finally gotten up my lazy butt to do our event reports for AFA and EOY. Both events have rather different objectives and though the crowd overlaps, there are subtle differences which I will mention along the way. Since there will be plenty of coverage on these events elsewhere anyway, I will talk mainly on our involvement and my opinions about both events.

#CxD0001 - After School Tea Timers

K-on! copyright 2007 Kakifly/Houbunsha & Kyoto Animation.

Azunyan is tired of the club being such a slacker club and thus motivates everyone to prepare for another performance. However, what is a K-on story without the antics of our lovable characters doing cute, funny things? Don’t forget to throw in obligatory D*C reference from our satsugai-loving artists.

As a final product to cap 2009 and start off 2010, CDS has collaborated with up-and-coming art group, Daiyaku for the first time to bring to you this K-on story, After School Tea Timers.  Featuring full colored illustrations and a series of 4 komas from artists of both groups, this doujin is a must-have for any fans of K-on.

Just click the above image to have a sample of something inside. Don’t worry, I believe Ritsu has at least nine lives.

One 28 page B5 doujin                    15 SGD

‘After School Tea Timers’ will have a limited release this EOY and more stocks will be released for future events.

Panchira-hon!

AFA 09 is finally over. A big thank you to everyone who turned up and supported us at the event. The event was a great success for us both for our booth and for Extravaganza. We are all burned out now with looming work and examinations in sight so a full report from us will have to wait. But there will be one later. My media pass isn’t for nothing!

And finally, if the title confuses you, that is how Shoko-tan endorsed our Memorial: Little Busters! Illustration Book. “Panchira-hon,” she exclaimed as she flipped through the book at our booth. Mycstea would be so proud if he was there. Too bad photos are not allowed…
