Preparing for Otakon 2011!

Oh man, this is my first time going to a big ass con like Otakon. For those who don't know, Otakon is the second biggest Anime convention in the united states. I'm hoping to see some Kamen Rider and Super Sentai suits all over the place. If any of my fans are going, I would love to see them and talk about awesome toku stuff!

Anyways, like my Animazement videos, I plan on recording the whole con plus more. In addition to the daily videos, there will be cosplay videos of awesome cosplays, random recording, and maybe a meet up with Johnny Yong Bosch (if it's possible) Buck will be there as well!

If anyone reading this and are going and happen to have an awesome cosplay, please contact me via twitter or facebook to schedule a recording session. To my fans going, I'd love to include all of you in my videos =D.

As for video releases during the week of Otakon, same schedule will apply; Monday, Wednesday, and Friday releases which will be scheduled to release on the their respective days (meaning they will be already uploaded but released at a specific time).

Anyways, there's a lot to do as I prepare for the convention. I hope to see my friends and fans there!

Origins of my name : ZeronXepher

I got a question on my Zeronos demo and a viewer was thinking that my name, Zeron, came from Zeronos. This isn't exactly true and so today I'll be talking about the origins of where Zeron Xepher came from.

When I was a lot younger, I was always fascinated with the letters "Z" and "X" because they are two letters in the alphabet that are rarely used or many words do not contain them. I came up with this thing called ZX3X which I did not have a meaning for it, I just made it up and sounded unique to me. This soon evolved to just ZX which was then used in several screen names of my such as zxghost.

It was around the time my third ex left me that I came up with the name Zeron Xepher (around the time of my senior year of high school). I wanted to make a name using the characters using "Z" and "X" but found it hard because not many words use those characters. The name "Zero" was very popular name but I did not want to use it because it was over used on the internet. I did base my name after Zero and added an "N" which gives birth to the name, Zeron (I pronounce the "ZE" like the Japanese character, which is why I say it differently than how people would normally say it.)

The Xepher part of my name came from a very popular song from Bemani or Beatmania IIDX titled "Xepher." I grew to love the word "Zephyr" and wanted the "Z" part of my name to be that but after I came up with "Zeron," I found Xepher to be a very suiting combo.

All of this took place before I got into tokusatsu and how my "Zeron" name sound similar to "Zeronos" is just coincidence. My fascination of two characters grew to what is now my online name. Also, the logo on the top left of my video and intro animation has three dashes. Those three dashes originated from ZX3X when I was a child. I thought adding it would bring uniqueness and special meaning to me.

Thank you for reading =D

Review Release Schedule for April

Also take note that I will accept requests for videos but also remember that I'm not very interested in SHF line.

I'll leave SHF reviews for Dosmrider and Vangelus.

My release schedules will remain the same:
Monday's and Friday's are reviews and demo days

Officially Part of RRR

Many people in the tokusatsu community knows of Riders, Rangers and Rambles. This group contains three of the most well known people in our community: ShukuenShinobi, DosmRider, and Jedimon2005. With them combined, they created this awesome network of awesome (though a lot of thanks also goes to Ryokuya who made the site). As part of CStoys blog, I'm glad to say that I'm now part of Riders, Rangers, and Rambles.

I was completely shocked that I got an email saying that I'm now part of RRR and that I can start posting right away. Also, I get that cool video animation of RRR that I can put in my videos to say that I'm now DX level (I'm worthy to be DX!). I do get to keep my animations and continue building on those since they are still work-in-progress.

So this is a new start and I'm freaking happy! Four months of crazy video editing and making a new YouTube account dedicated to Tokusatsu and it pays off! I'll continue to make awesome videos and I hope me being part of RRR will build on our community. I also hope that I have a fun time working with my new team and I hope they will enjoy working with me as well.

I thank Ryokuya and Shuki for everything, for being great online friends and giving me this chance to be crazy like they are.

This is ZeronXepher now part of RRR, signing out.
