| 4:16pm | In consideration - 5 DVD boxsets from TheRightStuf | | | | Save for the Shuffle! DVD bundle, TheRightStuf 12 days of xmas sale was a rather disappointing affair for me. The only other item that mildly tempting was the DNAngel Boxset offered on the 13th day but since it was not on my to-get list, I hardened my heart against acquiring it. Then came TRS’s... | | |
| 3:23pm | Akane-iro ni somaru saka - “Nii-san” does not a good siscon maketh | | | | Siscon appears to be getting some flak lately no thanks to AkaSaka. Intrigued by this and the remote possibility of a Minato end, I resumed AkaSaka (dropped previously at ep 3) to finish with 2 conclusions. 1) I was right to have dropped the series early. 2) AkaSaka gives siscon a bad name. First some... |
| 1:52pm | KKnM blog - The adventures of Keith and Sharon | | | | Huzzah! KKnM (Kareshi Kanojo no Mise) finally gets the blog treatment! Offering quirky anecdotes chronicling their adventures (or sometimes misadventures) in anime merchandise acquisition, KKnM blog is a must-read for any self-respecting Sg-otaku. Since KKnM has been and will always be my first source... |
| 5:20pm | Asatte no houkou DVDs - Getto! | | | | Since the Asatte no Houkou DVD boxset appeared at my favourite anime DVD shop about a year ago, I’ve never stopped agonising over it. The hurdle? A prohibitive pricetag of S$160. I’m glad I held out for so long since I bought the boxset for S$95 today - a staggering 40% in savings. Reviewing... | | |
| 1:55pm | Cured of loli-Fate! - Volks M.O.E 1/7 Fate Testarossa PVC figure | | | | The PVC deities, obviously disturbed by my deep obsession with 9 yr old Fate, have finally sent the antidote in the form of a 1/7 PVC figure of 19 yr old Fate Testarossa. Still this could all be a very elaborate divine prank since the chances obtaining this magnificent work is low. A quick check with... |
| 4:41pm | Figure display - Getto! | | | | The wait is finally over! After more than 10 visits to IKEA, countless family conferences with my wife and in-depth discussions with dedicated PVC consultant - it is finally done. My PVC beauties can once again see the light of day without risking the dehabilitating effects of dust! All thanks to IKEA’s... |
| 3:12pm | Why I collect 2D merchandise (Part 2) - Artbooks | | | | Continuing from Part 1, here more lame justifications confessions why I collect 2D goodies. 2D Artbooks While many boast of their art collection in terabytes, I look up to the folks who do so in tonnage. (Ok maybe realistically in kilograms.) Like Zyl, who also understand the pleasure of possessing... |
| 4:55pm | Why I collect 2D merchandise (Part 1) - Anime DVDs | | | | Brethen-in-bishoujo, Adun’s candid post on losing/recovering his 2D mojo struck a deep cord with me. While our experiences and expenditures do not directly correlate (woah, not even close - my anime spendings over 4 years could barely rival his epic 4 week Japan trip), I could identify with how... | | |
| 7:51pm | Anime Demotivators ~ My excuse to pimp pretty pictures | | | | I was trawling E-shuushuu as usual when I was hit with sudden guilt pangs for not sharing such fabulous 2D beauty with the rest of the aniblog world. However, instead of just splashing bishoujos all over my blog, the pretty pics are embedded in demotivators in a feeble attempt to add more meat to an... |
| 4:14pm | Anime Festival Asia 08 - The tanuki’s experience | | | | Despite two weddings and some heavier-than-normal weekend commitments, I managed to nip into AFA 08 for a couple of hours to thoroughly enjoy myself. Since I arrived at 7pm on Day 1, there was none of that legendary queue so very graphically described on the other blogs. I waltzed through the ticketing... | | |
| 4:26pm | Hontouni fund-raising - PVC daughters for display cabinet | | | | As a firm believer and strong advocate of unleashing the glory of your PVC beauty (ie opening and displaying your PVC purchases), it’s with deep shame that I must admit my PVC collection has been banished to the wardrobes for more than a year already. My excuse? No suitable display shelves/area.... |
| 3:36pm | Sisters, sisters, sisters! ~ Bishoujos of Fall | | | | I used to be a siscon purist. Sister complex was all about imouto moe. It has to be the younger sister - oniichan-crooning, and moelolicious, preferably with short twin-tails. All was well with the fetish til this season. Sister complex took new dimensions, no thanks to the lovely Fall ’sisters’.... | | |
| 5:49pm | 4 week into Fall Anime - Final 4 picks | | | | 4 weeks into the new season and I surprise myself by dropping 2 of my initial picks, yet usher in a new series to chalk up a final tally of 4 on my to-watch list. Indeed, Fall 08 is proving to be a pivotal season in restoring my flagging anime mojo. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been... | | |
| 4:23pm | How to enjoy anime adaptations - Don’t compare with its source | | | | Anime adaptations often invoke either great love or loathing amongst fans of the source material with the latter typically being the larger and more vocal camp. Most criticisms center on the heretical or uninspired source-to-anime treatment of what originally were wonderfully crafted plots/characters.... |
| 4:26pm | 5 Fall series to catch - Stripey’s pick | | | | It looks like I wouldn’t be reaching for that Spring/Summer stash soon given the promising Fall series I’ve previewed so far. Here’s 5 series I’d be catching in ascending order of love. 5. Kannagi (Seen 1 ep) - Mahou ~miko~ shoujo FTW! While the premise is not all that compelling... | | |
