| 4:55pm | The Beatdown Goes On, When They Cry v4 | | | | It’s good to see those Geneon titles in limbo start to come out again, When They Cry - Higurashi, in particular. Order in the world feels restored now that the murderous kids in Hinamizawa are back in the swing of things, going nuts, and killing each other. The first time I encountered When They... | | |
| 8:07pm | Beat Blades Haruka | | | | Haruka lay asleep on her side, head on the down pillow, face toward him. She breathed slow. Sweat covered her body, to which the thin white bed sheet draped over her clung to. It was hot for October, so the windows were open to let the wind blow in. This was different, he thought. By now he was usually... | | |
| 9:56pm | Shinobu | | | | Flickr link Shinobu has a different idea of role playing, or maybe it’s me the D&D nerd that’s got the uncommon definition of role playing. To me it’s some fat or smelly or fat and smelly guys sitting around a table hacking through trolls for magic items. I mean, I guess it’s... |
| 7:39pm | Blanc Neige | | | | Blanc flicked her wand and sent a squadron of snowballs to pelt the photographer. Her giggles echoed through the field as the camera man turned away to keep from being blinded with a face full of snow. It had stopped snowing a few minutes before, so everything was still covered. Flickr link “Okay,... | | |
| 4:14pm | Starting Code Geass | | | | Code Geass — I thought the Sunrise train wreck happens at the end of the series? These first four episodes sure have that same wrecked-up feeling minus knowing the characters bouncing round in messed up pacing land. Good thing Kallen is nice to look at and stuff conveniently blows up at a healthy... | | |
| 9:30am | Murata Dilemma | | | | Can’t decide which version to get of “Chris”, the latest figure up for pre-order based on a Range Murata illustration. It’s listed as a 1:7 scale figure, which is nice. Finally, a decent sized Murata figure. Normally, I have a clear preference for one scheme over the other,... |
| 1:21am | HappySoda vol. 1 | | | | It’s like half a year since I decided I’d put together an anime figure photo book, but a week ago I started it up again and the interior is ready to upload to Lulu.com, who I’ll be using for printing. All that’s left is deciding which cover to use. Part of the holdup was I... |
| 7:40pm | Ranma 1/2 Box Set 1 | | | | Wallpaper gallery link. Yappa-pa, Yappa-pa, as if I don’t already have a ton of anime to watch, someone in my D&D group decided to lend me the first box set of Ranma 1/2 for no apparent reason. I’ve got the first two volumes of Code Geass and the last volume of Simoun, sitting on the... | | |
| 6:36pm | Queen’s Gate Alice (NSFW) | | | | “Relax. You’re in control,” said Alice kneeling on the fluffy bed as she gently ran her finger along his belt. “I’m a demon. You’re supposed to want me beyond your better judgment.” This figure has an eighteen plus rating. Turn back if that’s not for you.... |
| 2:37pm | GoodSmile English Site | | | | As many people guessed yesterday over at DannyChoo.com, the GoodSmile Company launched their English language site. Finally, those of us who can’t read Japanese can get new product info and descriptions no problem. Been waiting for something like this for a long time and it makes sense for GSC... |
| 5:19pm | My Kemeko Romance | | | | Flickr link Kemeko likes iced tea, so every night around 1am I log off the computer, go to the kitchen and brew a pot of tea. While the kettle’s on I measure the sugar, the honey, and slice some lemons got from the farmer’s market that afternoon, though I think those lemons are from the... |
| 6:01am | My-Otome, Finished | | | | Finally got around to finishing My-Otome. I loved it. Pretty cheesy, definitely ridiculous, nudge-nudge-wink-wink, some fighting, dunt-dun-dunnn! plot twists and cute girls. I love my junk too much sometimes. Sunrise done good with My-Otome. One of the points of interest is that most of the secondary... |
| 4:26pm | Hetero Chua Churam | | | | Some of us become stars because we’re talented. Some because they paid their dues. Some because of charisma. The rest of us aren’t meant to be stars and that’s okay. Though, when you see wtf gets a recording contract sometimes, it stings a bit. Flickr link Flickr linkReview of... |
| 5:06pm | Sweet Armor Messed Up Face | | | | I’ve been wanting one more armored Saber for a long time now. The armor on Gift’s version of Saber looks pretty awesome. It comes with two faces, both of which look a bit off, but hey there’s dozens of Saber figures out there and all of them seem a bit off there. Saber with a messed... |
| 3:07pm | School Rumble | | | | Funimation released the School Rumble season one box set this past week and I snapped it up as soon as I saw it. This was a title I watched via Netflix and much anticipated the collected edition, which has the episodes on four discs with the extras on another dvd. It’s three thinpak cases packed... |
