The Cosplay Themes at Philippine Fashion Week - Weak?

Today one of the more interesting topics that anime geeks are talking about are those pseudo cosplay stuff that models wore during this year's Philippine Fashion Week. Let's take a look then I'll give my two cents.

Kingdom Hearts 3D to Be Released Next Year for 3DS

Square Enix's hit game Kingdom Hearts 3D or Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance will be hitting US and Europe stores next year.

The new game will feature new characters, new worlds to explore but at the same time still bringing back old school heroes Sora and Riku.

Yup, Jiminy H. Cricket will also be tagging along. Not sure yet if classic party members Donald Duck and Goofy will be battling baddies again for the 3DS.
