| 8:10am | Unit Bathroom |  | | | Took this picture of a unit bathroom when we stayed at Zao recently. A unit bathroom is basically a huge sheet of plastic which has been moulded into the shape you see. This is how you can do the three S's in Japan all within a square meter (Shit, Shave n Shower).The lack of space in Japan lead to | | |
| 5:58am | Table O Figures | | | | View the rest of this post ( 11 images )The thing is that a few more figures arrived after I took this shot ^^;Displaying figures out of a case means that they need to be dusted down once in a while and I gather the girls together on the table or stairs to do so. I was shocked when I read a post |
| 7:50am | Japan Proprietorship | | | | Why is it that time seems to pass quickly the older one gets? A philosopher called Paul Janet many moons ago came up with Janets Law which basically says that young folks feel that time passes slowly and old farts (like me) feel time passes quicker. The reason given is that a person of 10 years of | | |

| 5:59am | East VS West - Games | | | | Was having another interesting conversation (as one does) re the differences between Japanese and Western produced games.

| 7:18am | Gurren Lagann | | | | I think I'm the last one to talk about this most awesome anime so to make up for it here are some shots from episode 2 (which you have probably seen already ^^;)For those who dont know, Gurren Lagann is another new April season anime featuring a most cutesome (she got big eyes) girl and most | | |
| 7:40am | Konomi Yuzuhara Figure | | | | View the rest of this post ( 40 images )Well its been a 4 month wait since I first mentioned the release of this absolutely gorgeous figure of Konomi Yuzuhara from the anime (and eroge) ToHeart2.Kotobukiya does it again with the fantastic quality of the sculpting, paint, pose and | | |
| 6:59am | Wacom Pen Tablet | | | | View the rest of this post ( 6 images )Got myself this Intuos PTZ-630 pen tablet by Wacom early on in the year when Azami sensei and I started to work on Mirai-chan. I just found it more convenient to sketch directly in photoshop rather than on paper and then do a scan. The pen tablet also allows | | |
| 9:40pm | Recycle Japan | | | | View the rest of this post ( 1 images )I had to get accustomed to a life of recycling after living in England for 27 years where I would just throw out crap in one huge bag.Its not exactly tough but it can be a pain when you have a ton of (smelly) rubbish to be collected.This is a sign showing |
| 7:56am | Idolmaster Xenoglossia | | | | April sees the start of a ton of most coolsome anime titles which I have started to enjoy. Today we are going to take a peek at Idolmaster Xenoglossia.I've always been an Idolmaster fan and am just waiting for Bandai to jump ship and do other platforms too. I guess the 360 will completely die in | | |
| 7:15am | Super HCM Pro RX78 | | | | While taking my morning dose of Gunota, I click on "Super HCM-Pro RX-78-2" expecting to see the new 1/144 scale line looking pretty much like the HCM's up until now - cheap plastic looking. To my surprise I see a rather sexy RX78 with a ton o hatches n weapons.Have Bandai gotten rid of the |

| 9:40am | April Mirai | | | | An april fool is no fun if nobody falls for it so after seeing that Google had their TISP service up yesterday, I thought I should take advantage of the fact that it was still the 1st on the other side of the planet.Maybe they should call it "April Lies Day" instead ^^;To make up for the lies, I |
