第３回MMD杯 MikuMikuDanceCup 2009 Summer

People checking out the nicovideo ranking must have already noticed it. Currently the MikuMikuDanceCup is being held. Basically it is a contest of the best animation made using MikuMikuDance. The final entrees have been uploaded and the most popular ones are quite high in the general ranking. The contest is until friday 21/08 and the results will be published on monday 24/08.

Most animations use the Hatsune Miku/Vocaloid models. Some use different models like Mona. not much to say about the 3D model but the animation looks great. Some use the k-on girls...

My favorite until now is this very nice Touhou animation.

New Gundam:00 game

2 PV's have been released for the upcoming gundam:00 game. It will be released for the PS2(which means I will be able to play it), on October 16th. The battle system is somewhat different from the previous Gundam games. Button press timing moments have been added and it looks much faster than the previous games. If the gameplay is good this will be my favorite medium of Gundam 00 as the anime was somewhat disappointing.

Nicodouga

I'm planning to post some nicodouga link on this blog. Nicodouga is a japanese video streaming site like youtube only more interesting content. Only problem is you have to register to view videos. The problem is that google analytics shows most readers of this blog are not proficient in japanese enough to get around nicodouga or even register. But I found a solution to that.
guide 1
guide 2
These guides should help with registering. But too be able to fully use the features of nicodouga you need to know some Japanese.
I'll start out with a video showing how an artist drew Hatsune Miku。
