Kamikaze Girls

Posted under Anime/Manga

I just saw this movie the other day, a total chick flick but i loved this movie! It’s about a girl who is into lolita style and how she befriends a Yanki and how they become friends. It’s a great movie and the two girls were amazing! I don’t remember the last time i laughed so hard while watching a movie, lately movies have been mediocre and haven’t been up to the standards I remember. Even though this isn’t a recent film it really did lift my spirits, and not to mention make me want to buy a frilly dress and a moped.

Finally a Hinagiku Figure!

Posted under Figures

While I can’t read Japaneses, and Google translator is failing hard, i can at least understand we finally get a hinagiku figure! She’s a Jun Planning figure and is set for release in June of this year at a price of 4,300-4,515 yen! But have a look see for yourself!

I’m definitely going to pre-order her, been dying for a Hinagiku figure for a while now!

Screw You Play-Asia!

Posted under Figures

I’m never buying from you again! You reject my credit card when i have more than enough money on it, then you take over a week to process my order with my paypal. Then you tell me some of my order is out of stock and you cancel my order? I’ve never had such horrible service from an online retailer! How dare you tell me that all of the figures I’ve ordered are out of stock, I can plainly see that Miyako is still in stock. I’m so insulted by your actions, I’ve e-mailed you countless times asking why you took this action, yet i still have no reply! How Dare you treat me, a customer, this way! Thats no way to do business!

Animage Sept. 9th 1987

Posted under Anime/Manga & Figures

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, well it couldn’t be more perfect for this magazine that my brother recently found. His friend had these items just sitting in his garage and just gave them to my brother, he has no idea that for an otaku, how valuable those items are. Not just in money but for posterity. They contain so many articles and i just wish i knew at least some Japaneses. But alas I didn’t get much time with said magazine but I did take a million pictures to share with all of you.

Nice Boat/School Days Auctions!!!

Posted under Anime Merchandise/Ebay

So the Nice Boat/School days posters haven’t been selling very well so i’m doing instead of the set $15 price i’m doing an auction now! The starting price for each is only $7.99, i’m just hoping that this helps my sales a little bit, sales have been slow for the past week and i’m still in need of moneys. Not only are the School Days posters on auction now, but the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Strikers poster, the Myself; Yourself poster, and the Bamboo blade poster as well.

Thank You eBay!

Posted under Anime Merchandise/Ebay & Figures

So if you actualy read my blog you’d know that yesterday i went on a little figure shopping spree… I haven’t done that in a while and boy did it feel great! But afterwards I started to worry, what about gas money, bills, food… I spent all the money in my paypal account for those figures. Now what was I going to do? Well while sitting here, freaking out wondering how I was goin to pay bills, some lovely, kind Samaritan, bought two more posters! WOOT eBay! So now i’m not so broke! btw Thanks Deftoned for recommending Code Geass posters, they just started to sell now!

I don’t regret buying those figures, but at the same time I know that I need a figure case right now much more than I need more figures. I’ve got three bookcases and they are all filled with figures, plus another furniture that I used to have my TV on that is also filled with figures. I want to get two figure cases and then build glass shelves in between the two cases. So that way it’ll be like one giant figure case! Well once I start getting paid I’ll spring for that, but for now, back to saving money for stupid old bills…

Play-Asia Sale makes my wallet cry…

Posted under Figures

So I saw today via ron~, that there is a Sale going on at Play-Asia. So I went and checked it out, and man o man do they have some great figures! I may be broke but i just started working this week so i’ll soon be rolling in the money, well i just sold a crapload of stuf via Ebay and Amazon, so i thought i might as well go on a little shopping spree for myself. I’ve been in a dry spell these last few months with no money and no job, so now that i have a steady income coming in I thought i’ll go back to my old habits of buying figures LIKE CRAZY!!! So I bought three lovely ladies in this awesome sale!

1.) Toys Planning Miyako

I’ve been wanting Miyako from the moment she was announced, but honestly the $60+ price tag pushed me away. I may like her, but not for $60… So when I saw her for 50% off I had to snag me one!

2.) Good Smile Company 1/8 Iori Minase

Now while I may not have finished Idolmaster yet, for $20 i just had to get her as well! I’ve been wanting more GSC figures anyways. Plus this gives me incentive to finally watch the rest of that series ^_^

3.) Kotobukiya 1/8 Urutori

I’ve been a big fan Utawarerumono for a while now, and while i still can’t seem to track down Eruruu, I was able to find me a cheap Urutori! I love this figure, from her wings to her pose I’ve regretted dropping her pre-order but now I’m just glad i was able to find her and for much less than the original cost!

Vampire Knight Anime!

Posted under Anime/Manga

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!
I just stumbled upon Danny Choo’s page and saw this! I’m so excited, words cannot describe my excitement! OMG YAY I’M SO EXCITED! ok sorry about my outburst there…So I love Hino Matsuri, I was introduced a while back to Meri Puri by a friend of mine and I’ve been in love with her work since. She hasn’t done much, but what she has done I absolutely love. I’m very excited for this anime adaptation, I’ve been in ~shoujo anime mode~ for a while now, I just finished up Lovely Complex and I’m watching Kimikiss right now, so this is coming out at a great time for me. I HAVEN’T BEEN THIS EXCITED ABOUT A NEW ANIME IN SOOOOOOOO LONG!!! Oops, my girl-y super obsessive chara is starting to show!

The seiyuu cast looks pretty good as well, Mamoru Miyano as Zero Kiryū (Light - Deathnote, Moondoggie - Eureka Seven, Tamaki Suou - Ouran High School Host Club, Setsuna F. Seiei - Gundam 00) and Yui Horie as Yūki Cross (Multi - To Heart, Naru Narusegawa - Love Hina, Ayu Tsukimiya - Kanon, Kotori Shirakawa - Da Capo.)

So far this looks to be very promising, so lets hope that they don’t screw up the transfer from manga to anime, like they have been with Shugo Chara… >_<
