Who needs a Christmas tree when you have your very own larger than life Gundam figure that you can light up instead? The 15 metre tall Gundam figure at the Chengdu Guosetianxiang amusement park in Sichuan, China, will be decorated just like a Christmas tree to spread holiday cheer and light up the night sky!
True to our word in finding you all the latest anime news and goss, we MANIACS got along to the 2010 ANIMANIA festival in Sydney, and what a wikkid time we had. We got to sit in on the costume judging of the World Preliminary Cosplay Championships, to send an aussie cosplayer to Japan! Check out all the rad costumes in our June issue, on sale May 10!
There’s a new word flying around anime circles in Japan, and we MANIACS love it! Are you ready for it…drum roll please… AUSSIME! “What in the blazers is Aussime?,” you ask. Aussime is quite simply an Australian anime, like Deltora Quest, written by an aussie and made by an anime studio in Japan! The Deltora Quest anime first aired in Japan in 2005 and the books have been around even longer. There’s a strong fan base overseas and now this rad anime is heading home to premiere on Cartoon Network in May, and we can’t wait to see it!
