Anisama 2009 Official Highlight Photos!

Ooooh. I’ve been waiting for these gems~ XD so I think it deserves a post.

Check Animate.tv for more photos for day 1 (8.22) and day 2 (8.23).

I initially wanted to just pin some of the pics here.. but I ended up writing random shit, despite having a pile of work to do.

..yes just random. xD

Minorin vs. Nana

..hmm trying not to be biased.
Hair & Make-up: Nana.
ZOMG ASTROGATION HAIR DROOOOOOL. Nana rarely does a straight hair so this was really refreshing. Minorin’s hair was fine, but her make-up was a bit too heavy and dark..
Costume: draw.
Minorin’s is too flashy. Nana’s has too much lace. Both show enough skin (lol), but nah no real preference. But yeah lol Minorin for wearing the skirt she wore in Daicon
Collaboration: Minorin.
Yes she wins cos Hocchan+Minorin’s Happy Material was just VERY surprising and perfectly done. Nana has more duets, but Shin Ai started off with some technical problem, and don’t get me started with the Chulu tragedy.
MC: Minorin.
Minorin as always put more of herself and fans into her talk and that makes it more meaningful. Nana’s was professional so it was just.. okay.
Solo Performance: Nana.
Minorin’s setlist was totally predictable. Nana really blew me away with the good surprise that is Etsuraku Camellia.. so yeah the impact was different.

ELISA vs. Faylan

Two newcomers, great songs, potential voice, totally different impact.
Hair & Make-up: ELISA
ELISA was a stunning beauty, while still looking natural (or I was just blinded by her porcelain skin). Faylan’s heavy make-up scared the crap outta me. Probably that was the point, but I still think the red lipstick was unnecessary.
Costume: Faylan
No, not because of the legs. I actually think both wore dresses that reflect their image well, so it’s just a matter of preference. ELISA looked like a fragile, pretty ghost.. while Faylan looked like a dominatrix, so she wins. *runs*
MC: draw.
Both MC were memorable. ELISA grabbed attention with the “call my name” thing without turning to an attention whore. But Faylan and her rabu-rabu yuri message to Sato Hiromi deserves a credit too. xD
Solo performance: Faylan
ELISA is a decent singer, but Faylan can really rock. I believe there were lots of people turned yuri fan after seeing her live. She was lively, intense, and overall very impressive.

#1 Twinkle Twinkle Little MonStAR~☆

……..NOT.
But gotta admit that in a way it was really awsm… that the heart attack almost killed me. No, no, the true winner is:

#1 Zankoku na tenshi no you ni..

…and Saitama Super Arena exploded! …wait I think I’ve written the exact same lines before.. xD Didn’t change the fact that this really set a high standard for the rest of Anisama duets.

#2 nowhere

I mean, a stage with all FictionJunction girls and THE Kajiura herself on stage? ’nuff said~

#1 Takarano Arika

Just what the heck is that thing attached on her head?! But really, when she approached my area I was literally muttering “..don’t kill me, don’t kill me..”

#2 Itou Kanako

I told you she looked like some batshit insane character from Higurashi (yes pun intended).

Yes THIS wins so much that I feel the need to post it twice, though it’s a bit unfair of me to rate it. xD Anyway, here goes the real list:

#1 yuri in yukata yurified me

..lol sad joke. But yes that was undeniably one of the most jaw-dropping moments. Couldn’t help it.

#2 Kurinoco looking totally hot again <3

No moar dumpling! Just a few hours before I thought I was turning normal for fangirling Kishow, but I totally ignored him during his duet with Kurinoco. ^^;
