Pronounced as “mo-eh“, it is a Japanese slang term used often in anime and manga to describe a deep love or fetish for a character or attribute. For example, those with an attraction to characters wearing glasses would coin the phrase “meganekko-moe” (megane means glasses, ko translates as girl) when describing what they think of [...]

By enlisting maids to join you on Nintendo’s Wii Fit game of course! Only in Japan would you see such a concept and indeed the guy that came up with the idea is charging for such a pleasure.
Playing Wii Fit by yourself is lonely. But here, playing along with a maid makes exercising enjoyable.
I’m sure [...]

London Expo October 2006 was my first experience at cosplaying. I didn’t want to buy a cosplay and decided to make my own. Unfortunately, at that time, I didn’t have a sewing machine so resorted to hand-sewing which was fun but tedious at the same time. I liked unique cosplays, so I did a lot [...]

Yaoi Panels seem to be highly popular at conventions thesedays due to the topic matter and the huge draw and reaction it gets from people. Many go along because it is often a light hearted way of looking at a topic that is often scorned over while some are truly passionate about it. For those [...]

Previously in Part One on eMagi we covered what ALcon 2008 was about, the dealers and screenings that happened and in Part Two of ALcon we covered the various panels like the Iron Artist and Charity Auction. In this final part of our ALcon coverage this will wrap up the remainder of events and what [...]

When you’re the only one who hasn’t seen a series and all your friends are quoting it, it’s hard not to feel left out. So when I went to Alcon 2008 and saw a 2 hour block dedicated to it, I decided now was the time to change all that. No longer would I be [...]

Previously in Part One I wrote about the way ALcon was structured and what screenings went on and now we will have a series of posts focusing on individual panels that eMagi attended from myself and TaroTard. For many conventions like it, Saturday is the most feature packed in terms of activities and this was [...]

eMagi recently got back from the fun that was ALcon 2008 after previously attending last year’s debut convention and will now give you a series of reports and analysis of the whole event. While there was not an official report here on eMagi about ALcon 2007, there was mixed feedback about it about how it [...]

My first ever cosplay (just think costume play merged together, it’s the anime term for dressing up) was back in August 2005 when I attended Ayacon (3 day anime convention that took place at Warwick University). I was really into Full Metal Alchemist at the time so when I was mindlessly searching eBay one day [...]

My girlfriend is cosplaying for Amecon and she needed a prop… An easy way would be to use the PS2/PS3 guitar but it didn’t quite suit the image needed. So I volunteered to create a guitar for her. Let’s just say I really should have started so much sooner… My timescale was 24 hours (cue [...]

Me and the eMagi Dino. Kudo’s to forum member Miruru for making it for me!

A little late as I have been spending time recovering however I wanted to write about my first Amecon experience here on eMagi. I didn’t know what to expect as such since I have only been to one convention previously (ALcon) [...]
