| 10:14am | Figure Review: Be seduced by this Succubus | | | | It has been a long 7 days but I have finally reached the end. No.7 of the 7 figures over 7 days series and it certainly has been quite a challenge to me as well. Not to mention I’ve lost a few good hours of sleep in the last two days. So let’s end this series with another quality figure... |
| 10:14am | Figure Review: ARIA Punit cuteness | | | | Wow, No.6 of the 7 figures in 7 days series. I really can’t believe that I’ve made it this far, but one thing for sure, I’ve lost some sleep over the past few days, lol. Since we’re drawing close towards the end of the 7 days I figured I should at least do a group one together.... | | |
| 4:17am | Japan Preparations Phase No.3 | | | | Taking a small break from the 7 figures over 7 days series, is just an update with some last preparations for my Japan trip. One of the main reasons for me going back to Japan is because of the whole otakudom, but the second reason is photography. My last trip to Japan had my taking along a very outdated... |
| 11:02am | Figure Review: Ibuki Fuko powered by starfish | | | | Still on a roll, No.5 of 7 figures over 7 days. This time we take a trip to the other side of my fandom for moé which is the Visual Arts/Key side of things, but the focus for this post is Clannad. It’s been a while since they released any Clannad figures (the last one I bought was like 2-3 years... | | |
| 9:30am | Figure Review: Shihou Matsuri, my #1 female of 2007 | | | | Just over halfway through 7 figures over 7 days, and it’s actually time to take step back to 2007. This is one figure I’ve been meaning to take photos off for a LONG time and this post will finish off all the figures I purchased for 2007. So hit the jump to check out photos of what I consider... |
| 10:07am | Figure Review: Corticarte Apa Lagranges (GSC), a true beauty | | | | Hoorah! Number 3 of the 7 figures over 7 days. This time is a figure that I’ve liked since seeing the promo pictures for it and have been meaning to open the box ever since it arrived. But you know me, get all excited and then meh, goes on the pile of loot. Well I’m glad to say that I finally... |
| 11:54pm | Figure Review: Aisaka Taiga and her little friend | | | | Number 2 of the series of 7 figures in 7 days. This figure I would have to say is one of the cuter figures of my 2008 purchases in many ways. This is also the first figure to arrive at my doorstep for 2008 and we’re off to a good start to the Moé Moé Rabu empire of 2008, but we also take a step... |
| 9:53pm | Figure Review: Tsuruya-san Maid version | | | | First up in the line of 7 figures over 7 days is an item that I kind of unexpectedly ordered. Though with the exploding popularity of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, I guess I just went along with the flow, but I think it’s more of the fact that I had the money to blow, lol. Anyway hit the jump to... | | |
| 1:36pm | Seven Days, Seven Figures | | | | As the days go by my excitement of heading to Japan for a month grows ever so greatly. I’ve been drilling through the pile of work in hopes that my boss and co-worker aren’t drowned in projects, and I’m still doing some planning on the itinerary. But within my humble home I figured... |
| 11:25am | A Hatsune Miku or Two | | | | Over the years of anime merchandise spending, I’m usually careful in not buying two of the same item. Although Konata has taught us that we should buy three of the same thing, one to actually handle with, one to look at, and one to keep as a collector’s item I still wouldn’t go to... |
| 12:46pm | Canon IXUS 960IS - my shiny new toy | | | | Now I’ve had my Canon 400D for just over 2 years now and it has been a great asset for me in my journey of rediscovering photography (I used to do a lot of photography during high school as a course). Having a DSLR is great in which I can take superb quality photos and try out various techniques... |
| 12:04pm | Figure Review: Resinya’s Shirakawa Kotori (NSFW) | | | | Damn it’s been nearly two months since I last did a figure review. The backlog growth has slowed down considerably since I stopped ordering so much as I needed to save money, but it’ll be back on track when I’m back from Japan. But with only a few days to go and my decision to not... |
| 2:30pm | Japan Preparations Phase No.2 | | | | With only a meer 15 days to go until I head off to Japan, there is one item that I must acquire in order to do so, and that is to actually have my airplane ticket. So on Saturday I headed into the city all on my lonesome to meet with my travel agent one more time to collect my tickets and other documents.... |
| 5:21am | Hidden treasures of an Otaku Room | | | | One of the things about my room is that it gets cluttered fairly quickly. Though I guess that applies to anyone but with my room being so small it’s a battle to place my merchandise anywhere. Well over the weekend I decided to do some cleaning in preparation of the incoming loot that I will be... |
| 11:41am | Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu - 01 | | | | Opening Sequence: OP: “Tomadoi Bitter Tune” by Himemiya Miran and Chocolate Rockers My third anticipated series for the spring season would have to be this. Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is about Nogizaka Haruka who is the school’s idol but with one secret, she’s an otaku. Ayase... |
