My new One Piece figurines as decorations =)

Ever since I started watching and liking One Piece, I was thinking about buying some One Piece  figurines as decorations. This is where I was looking up on the net to search for some anime shops that are located within Sydney. Yesterday, I went up to the City with a couple of friends to shop around, however, since we're mostly shopping in Paddy's Market at Market City in Haymarket, It saved me the trouble of wasting time and exploring the other anime stores, since Paddy's market was filled with more than one anime section.

We did a lot of shopping over there and we walked like everywhere within Paddy's Market. I got a little figurine of Luffy for like three dollars. And then when me and the others finished shopping inside, we went inside Market City, which is the shopping centre above Paddy's Market, for a little walk around. This is where I was searching for other anime stores.

Game Infinity is a good store with good figurines, but it's not a good place to go if you're gonna waste like between fifty to ninety bucks or more. Right before we're about to leave the shopping centre, there was a store with anime figurines, which was called Fever, a shop that sells Asian DVD's and movies. Now this was where I bought another 2 figurines. One was Luffy and another was Sanji in their mafia-style outfits. They were eight dollars each, but two for fifteen wasn't bad. I could've bought Zoro as well to make the Monster Trio. Three figurines for twenty dollars wasn't a bad price, but I was like "two would be okay". Looking back now, I wish I did buy Zoro as well, but it's okay. As long as it is still sold, I can buy it the next time I visit the store.

 These are the two mafia figurines of Luffy and Sanji that I bought in Fever.

These are the three figurines that I bought from yesterday up in Sydney (and a One Piece wallpaper on my laptop lol)

Anyways, that's all I can share for today, and that trip was a hell of a lot of fun, and it is very great to have the toys on my laptop as decorations. Also I wanted to ask you guys, I did mention earlier that I was looking for anime shops that are located in Sydney. If you guys know which good ones to go to where, what kind do they sell (manga, figurines, etc.), just post me a comment and tell me which one and I'll take it into consideration. Thank you very much, my nakama. =)

Introduction to my One Piece blog!

Hi everyone, and welcome to my One Piece blogger. Here I will be posting my random thoughts and favourite things in regards to the series. I'll be really honest with you guys, what got me into the series is that I heard that there are a lot of powerful, and also hilarious characters in One Piece and I've been hearing great things about the manga and the anime. So, I had to see if it's true and downloaded the anime and watched the whole thing from the start. I wasn't into watching the anime at first, but once I watched the first episode, in Japanese with subtitles, I thought in my head "This anime is AWESOME!", and it blew my mind as well.

I think that One Piece is a great series and a great anime you don't want to avoid watching. The story is great, the designs and drawings are great, the animation is amazing, the characters are awesome as well, both in personality and humor. Speaking of humor, there are a lot of funny scenes that made me laugh even in the most serious scenes. What can you expect from One Piece, and not to mention the main protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy. Man is this guy hilarious and positive, no matter what. You gotta love the lover cook, Sanji as well with his quotes: "NAMI-SWAAAAAAAAN!!! ROBIN-CHWAAAAAAAN!!!"

You can forget watching Naruto and Bleach, but not One Piece. No, don't, I am kidding LOL XD

To conclude the introduction, check out One Piece if you're a big fan of it or an anime fan, read the manga if you want to see everything, though the anime is missing some scenes in the manga, it's worth the watch, since you see colours (get the black and white manga reference? lol) to make the audience feel more positive and get some laughs. Read the manga, or watch the anime, your decision, and trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Feel free to check out my blog of One Piece when you have the time. Thanks guys. =)
