MaRoManias

    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 ...

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 😄    ...

Hey Guys! 
     Rosie here! Just wanted to update everyone on what we’ve been up to since we haven’t been too active online (my bad). For those who don’t know I have been diagnosed with a list of Chronic Illnesses, this means there is no cure and I will have to fight and manage my illnesses for my whole life. At the age of 16 I was diagnosed with Behcet’s disease, Chron’s disease, and Rheumatoid Arthritis and since then my list has grown to include; Gastroparesis (stomach 80% paralyzed), Raynaud’s Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Scleritis (causing partial blindness), Sinus Tachycardia, and Major Depressive Disorder. Behcet’s is very rare in young people, in women, and in people who live in North America, but I have great odds…or bad odds? Depends on how you look at it I guess…😅 So Behcet’s is an auto immune disorder where your immune system attacks your body; in this case specifically small, medium, and large blood vessels as well as veins and capillaries. As...

Anime Review: Psycho-Pass [No Spoilers]      We finally got around to watching the second season of Psycho- Pass, and thought we should probably do a review of Psycho-Pass for anyone who hadn’t heard of it or still had some reservations about watching it. So here we go.     First off Psycho-Pass was produced by Production I.G., the studio behind Ghost in a Shell, Attack on Titan, Blood: The Last Vampire, Guilty Crown, and Moribito; so right off the bat you know that even if the story doesn’t resonate with you or is lacking [Guilty Crown I’m looking at you], at least you’ll be watching some great visuals. Luckily for all of us Psycho-Pass is overall great. The story is engaging and thought provoking, while its characters are compelling.     The story takes place in a future dystopian version of Japan. To keep its citizens safe Japan has closed itself off to the rest of the world and has created a crime management organizati...
