Dan and Dave Smoke and Mirrors v5 Denim Card Deck

Rating: 10/10

So I finally found a Dan and Dave smoke and mirrors deck of cards here in Sydney and in all the versions. At the price tag of $16.95 I bought it. I wasn't gonna open it at first but the excitement and curiosity just got too me and I opened it.

I'll begin with saying that the cards are beautifully crafted, with the handling being superb and the cards containing the extra flexibility than regular bicycle cards. My favorite point in the deck would be that the hearts and diamond suits under the color of a metallic blue. This deck is the reprinted version if the original denim, even tho I'd prefer the 1st editions this deck isn't any less worthy. The fans and dribbles are easy and smooth to execute with the only except being that performing flourishes will take about more time and breaking in like any deck as its very slippery and smooth with the cards falling down all the time. The back design is a very simple Dan and Dave (DD) logo with a metallic blue colour. The deck box has very nice embolism showing that its a high quality deck of cards and that being true with the cards as well.

4Minute Sydney Concert!!

So I bought tickets to 4minute Sydney concert which was held on Sunday 1st of September. They cost around $139 excluding fees and shit. The concert started at 7 with a line of people prob starting to occur from 3! Luckly, I didn't have to wait long having arrive and eat around 5.

Now about the concert!

Penny Pinchers (Korean movie)

Rating: 7/10
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Drama

Its my first time seeing Song Joong-ki in a role which I didnt expect he'd do, But he did pull it off quite well. The movie is based basically on one guy trying to earn money while the other girl shows how through being cheap and doing various odd and somewhat illegal jobs. The comedy is quite good and the romance being very little! Still this is a balance movie between the two genre and would recommend just because Joong-ki is in it! Its a very basic Com-Rom movie with just a different plot idea.

Guardians Bicycle Deck

Rating: 3/5

Bought a new Guardians Bicycle deck. I was kinda expecting more like the handling is good but the print of the design isn't as good like compared to the standard back bicycle cards. The design which was done by Theory11 is nice just it doesn't pop out, its like faded print :/ so kinda disappointed at that but the box design is nice. Other than that its a okay deck! Not worth $12 in my opinion!

Arch Angel Deck

So as you know I said I'd be posting shit I love and it happens to be that I love Playing Cards! Reason being the designs are so intuitive, with tricks and flourishes added along makes a killer hobby/skill to have! That being said I bought I new deck by Theory11, Arch Angel deck. Let me tell you this shit is expensive, well that's because I live in Australia but sooo worth it :L

The back artwork is so beautiful with a lot going on telling more than that can be said! Paid $15 so yea, tbh feels like I spent more. I haven't opened it yet, just because i want to first gain more experience handling and performing card flourishes. But when i do eventually open them hopefully not long, ill put up a review of them.

Accel World Anime

Rating: 8.5/10
Genre: Action, Fantasy, VR, Comedy, Romance, Avatars
EPs: 25

Finished Accel world not too long ago and to my surprise I was quite satisfied with the results! Even with a weird protagonist (fat kid) it still managed to keep me hooked on the anime, making me complete it in 2 day. Same creator as Sword Art Online just more futuristic. Its basically the sequel to SAO and did just as good as a sequel. I'm hoping there's a season two as the manga is still ongoing.

Thoughts/Review!!

The anime overall is a fantasy action with virtual reality games being the storyline except extending on the VR bit involving real life. I wont go into the details as its better to be seen than read. Um the animation is quite good, just like any at this time and age. Ecchi once again is minimal. The VR game is less animation and more CG with bits of animation aspects. The anime explores vast elements of technology and colour (that's some deep shit right there :L) Overall, I loved this anime. With the characters being amusing a

nd storyline quite interesting. Some new in every ep. Yea sure there's some obvious predictions but other than that a good watch. Would recommend to watch, once again this anime is one of those that the cover doesn't do just! Looking at the fat kid protagonist made me not want to watch this for awhile but lucky I did get it.

Millionaire's First Love

Rating: 7.5/10
Genre: Comedy Romance

Watched MFL yesterday!! Went into the movie thinking it'll be alright but started off very old school (2005) which I hate then moving onto a countryside plot which always uninterest me. Nevertheless almost halfway into the movie, idk how but I got hooked. I will say the storyline is abit rushed, moving from one thing to another very quickly which made me wtf thinking if I had to rewind but that wasn't the case. Just like Gi Family Book it made me tear up with the ending! The male protagonist (I forget his name) is the same from secret garden but from his younger days! Either way his acting was good, especially the female protagonist.

Sword Art Online - Anime Review

EPs: 25
Genre: Fantasy, Fighting, Virtual Reality,Comedy, Romance
Rating: 8/10

So I heard about this a couple of days ago but never gave it any thought. But when browsing through my usual anime website to look for new shit to watch, I found it under my genre (comedy/romance) looked interesting, not a big fan of old era anime or dramas but finding out its based in a future period I gave it ago! Let me just say that I full got hooked onto this anime! If it weren't for sleeping and uni, I would've killed it in a day. Took me 2 days roughly tho :L

Thoughts/Review

Thoughts on the anime are that its hooks you quite well at the beginning but as it gets towards the middle and end it drags on! Almost predictable! Great story tho, concept is genius unlike other game based anime's, op and ed songs are excellent, art is well drawn. Romance story/content is quite normal, comedy content is decent. Ecchi is not that big but still included! Other than that its quite at worthwhile anime to watch. Up there with my best.
