Galvatron and Punishering the Ramen!


After the League of Legends shoot, Our group headed over to Lil Tokyo for some Ramen! There a lot of ramen shops in Lil Tokyo, some really good, and some awful, but popular. We ended up going to the Shinsengumi because they had a side dish of bacon, and, by the way, that bacon is the BEST bacon I've ever eaten in my entire life.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Movie!



I was fortunate enough to have some great friends who made sure I went to see the Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie screening in Lil Tokyo! Because my attention span is non-existent, I arrived in Lil Tokyo too early and I was also not aware that we were watching, in fact, two movies, not just one...

Now, I'm not reviewing the movies, so, you won't hear any of that here!

But, what I wanted to talk about was the line and the people in it. Most reports have been telling us that most of the audience, that have been attending, have been doing casual cosplay, which is mostly unrecognizable so I didn't have my hopes up... but... to my amazement, close to the front of the line were a group of girls, from Arizona, cosplaying Homura, Mami, Sayaka and Kyoko!!! There was even another Homura in line and a Charlotte (casual cosplay)!!! There were other casual cosplays... but... I didn't notice them...

Ultra Magical Movie Madoka Lil Tokyo Style

The parking garage, above Jungle Anime overlooks the Japanese Village.
LOL How was THAT for a title? lol

This past Sunday, October 21st, 2012, I was sent to Lil Tokyo, in Downtown Los Angeles, to watch the Puella Magi Madoka Magica! I assumed that my showing was in the early afternoon, but it turned out to be the 6PM showing... I arrived to Lil Tokyo around 11am, and was extremely early. While waiting for my friends, I decided to walk around my old playground for a little bit, armed with toys and my camera, I set out on my adventure to catch some Pokemon... err... cool pics...

I visit Lil Tokyo quite a bit, so I have many photos here, but, now, walking around by myself, I can explore a little more deeper and take pics that might embarrass my friends while taking them. Let's take a journey!

As I was taking this pic, a group of elderly ladies was asking what I was doing. When I showed them this pic, that I had just took, they thought it was so cute and the idea of taking photos of toys was a neat idea.

The Japanese Village tower! This is something I'm always afraid to walk under cos of all the bird poop under it...

Outside the Japanese American History Museum. An old guy came up to me and was curious about what I was doing. He seemed like he was trying to mug me or something, so I stood up, and he started to stutter... lol

After scaring off the weird guy, I took this pic looking towards the Japanese Village.

I wanted to take pics in different spots, so I walked through the Village and past the Pink Berry into the brick garden area.

One section there, had these trees. Interesting

I ended up at some bus stop too... wait... is this a bus stop?

Then I walked back to Weller Court and saw the mural outside of the Q store.

My friends were almost there, so I was sketching in my sketchbook for a little bit.

We decided to have an early dinner, before the movie, and we past by this little graffiti 

SHIN SEN GUMI RAMEN!!!

Beer #2....

After devouring our ramen, we decided to head out to the theater to check on the line for the Madoka movie. We had been reading reports that the lines were crazy long, so, we wanted to make sure we got there a little early to get a good seat in the theater...
