    It’s that time of year again, where everyone is filled with a mixture of excitement and dread… it’s back to school time! Well not for us, but for some of you. Glad those days are behind us.     There is always that younger sibling though who can’t bear to be separated from their older sibling, thinking it to be unfair that they get to go to school and make new friends. Not yet realizing just how lucky they are that they get to stay at home. If anyone is wondering what Rosie was like as a child they have to look no further than at Mei from “My Neighbour Totoro” by Studio Ghibli. It’s actually what this comic was inspired by. Whenever we watch it it’s almost like seeing a flashback of our younger days, especially Rosie’s bobble-head and big mouth, which is why she got the nickname Chibi early on 😂     Stay Obsessed ~

    Some people might be reading this and thinking “Otakuthon happened in August, why are you guys only writing about it in September?” Like we mentioned in a previous post we’ve been dealing with some health issues and so we are a little behind, but we still wanted to share our 2017 Otakuthon experience, so we hope you guys will forgive our tardiness.       Otakuthon which takes place in Montreal, is a convention for those interested in Japanese Pop-Culture. So basically for those who like anime, manga, cosplay, video games, etc, this is the convention for you. There are always tons of great artists and cosplayers who turn up. You can go on Otakuthon’s official website to see all their updates and stay posted about who is on their guest list, which events and panels they’re hosting, and just overall news. You can get great deals if you pre-register and buy your tickets online during the first early bird round. We talk more about Otakuthon and buying tickets in this post . If yo

Hey Guys!     A few years ago while visiting London, England, we knew as Harry Potter fans that we needed to check out King’s Cross station and more specifically a neat little store there called Platform 9 3/4. I think we went there at least 3 times during our stay, each time picking up something new. Having some friends back home in Canada who were hardcore fans of Harry Potter we knew this would be the perfect place to pick up some fun souvenirs. While there we came across these great little wax seals with the Hogwarts logo imprinted on them. This made us think of the Acceptance Letters seen in the first Harry Potter movie & book. So of course we picked some of these up already thinking of the craft project potential. We also picked up some Hogwarts Express tickets - I mean whats better than getting tickets for Platform 9 3/4 from the actual King’s Cross station?!? Any fan will appreciate this little detail - at least our friends did 😄        After coming back hom
