The time has come to work on the program in preparation for competition! Practice makes perfect, right? Well, sometimes it’s not enough. You can practice for weeks, but there’s always that one thing that you can’t really practice for and it can get in the way. However, it takes time to fix it.

Episode 2: Two Yuris ?! Drama at Yu-topia

Alright, so we are left off with Victor Nikiforov's ambition on teaching Yuri Katsuki. No matter who your coach is, there are coaching fees. Victor said to Katsuki, “defer my coaching fee for now, I'll bill you once you win something.” Well, that's nice of him to put it on a bar tab, but coaching fees add up even if you pay after each lesson. There are coaches that are paid by 30 minutes or an hour, while others are paid based on a contract. However, the amount of time (could be a six-month contract or a 15 minute lesson) and costs are agreed between the coach and skater. So, all us skaters, including Katsuki, need to save for those lesson fees!

Episode 1: Easy as Pirozhki!! The Grand Prix Final Tears

The episode starts out with someone figure skating and all you see is their skates. This is the moment where you learn about Katsuki Yuri’s admiration of Victor Nikiforov, “ever since I first saw his skating, it's been an unending chain of surprises.” I'm sure that many figure skaters, regardless of the level you are in, have one figure skater that they idolize. Mine is Michelle Kwan. Not sure if she had an “unending chain of surprises,” because she won so many gold medals! However, the ONE possible event that can probably be view as a chain is the unattainable Olympic Gold. She did not get it 1998, 2002 and 2006. Regardless, till this day, I continue to admire her.

I'm sure we’ve all heard of the 2016 anime hit series during the start of the 2016-2017 figure skating season. If you are a figure skater: competitive (very general: skater who qualifies to compete or old school term “amateur” figure skater), professional (retired from the competitive career, but in general does ice shows or coaches) or adult (very general: started skating after 18 years old), you probably heard about the show through the community. That's basically how I found out about it.

Requests From Me to AniMiniCon Soho 2012

AniMiniCon Soho is approaching its 3rd year, and I wonder what it has in store for their attendees. I would like to see some changes or possible improvements to the event as compared to last year. However I am not sure if my ideas are remotely possible due to the space limitations and other factors.

Who’s To Blame For Bandai’s “Shutdown?”

Well, they are not completely shutting down. Bandai Entertainment will not be releasing anymore new manga, DVD and Blu-rays. Instead, it will be licensing and sub-licensing its shows to the Internet, television broadcasters and merchandising. The decision was made in Japan by the contents Strategic Business Unit (SBU). As a result, people at Bandai Entertainment are going to lose their jobs due to the restructuring of the company. Now who is to blame for this event?

What Do These Words Mean?

What is anime and manga? What defines a comic or graphic novel? It is one thing to be able to physically identify it, but it is another to define or explain what it is. I have my own interpretations of the terminologies, but I decided to do research on how it has been defined and used by others.
