[Sofia's Life Diary] Wonder Festival Trip Report — 8/5/2023

Thank you so much for 4,000 subscribers! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)"

I went to Wonder Festival last weekend, so let me share some photos!

Oh, and the August phone wallpapers are up too! Members get 8 wallpapers, free to download forever! d(`･∀･)b

(These villagers have some seriously high defense stats!)

Wonder Festival is Japan's biggest hobby/model convention, hosted by the toy maker Kaiyodo — it's also the largest model exhibition in the entire world, and usually just gets shortened to WF. (Straight from Wikipedia)

Sofia was here!

It's definitely a summer event alright — it was SO~~ hot!

The line outside took a while, but thank goodness I remembered to bring an umbrella for shade, and having vending machines right there at the venue selling cold drinks on the spot was such a lifesaver!

Ma Kai-sensei's mecha-girl unpainted prototype display!

Getting to see it in person was such a treat~(*´艸`*)

Wait, is that... me!?

Yep! My painted prototype was on display at last winter's WF 2023! (photo courtesy of their official page)

Tuesday I played Only Up!

After a seriously grueling climb, I finally hit 4,000 subscribers! Thank you all so much!

This run didn't even beat my previous best progress, but hey, I still successfully hit 4,000 subs! ٩(ŏ﹏ŏ、)۶

No fair pointing out that going from 3,990 to 4,000 is only 10 people and barely counts as an "endurance sprint" (┛`д´)┛

Love you all(*´д`)~♥

And here's this run's Only Up stats, courtesy of one very strict, dedicated fan↓

Screams: 10 Fae-language outbursts: 21 Falls: 22

That's progress, right? Big improvement!

At this rate, I've gotta be close to the finish line, right!

Thursday's anime watch was Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead~

No wonder it's the talk of the season — great OP/ED, and the direction is full of personality too.

The main character's resignation speech was SO hype.

Though I do wonder how he's just casually browsing a convenience store afterward like nothing happened XDDD

How is the convenience store not already picked clean by survivors — is that just a Japan thing? If this were America everyone would've already grabbed their guns and be defending their turf...!

Also talked a bit about Ichigo 100%, has anyone here read it?

I'm a bit young for it honestly, I have no idea who Nishino Tsukasa even is~(´・ω・`)

Thursday night I watched the legendary cult film with the Bad Movie Squad — Taipei Story!

It truly lives up to its legendary reputation as a cult classic, genuinely impressive stuff!

All those iconic lines are still rattling around in my head after watching it!
