I was browsing Kyo-ani’s official site when I came across these Official Haruhi cels on sale at Kyo-ani’s web store. The cels are created from the original data used in the anime (which is pure CG) and limited to one per person. Each one comes in an album that protects the cel and an accompanying certificate [...]

1/8 Bakuretsu Tenshi Meg PVC

I missed it the first time it was released and regreted my decision, but luckily for me (and unfortunately for my wallet), Alter has recently re-released its 1/8 Meg from Bakuretsu Tenshi in all her yellow-pantsu glory. There’s just something about girls with big… guns. But remember kids, don’t ever try to fire an anti-material rifle [...]

I happened to be near Kinokuniya yesterday when I received a call from the Japanese book counter telling me that my Negima! Vol.15 was ready for collection. The limited edition is waaaay overpriced but I bought it anyway because I am a tool of the system. It comes with a DVD that contains promotional material for [...]

I think I’ll be placing an order for this from my usual source soon… Sigh, I hope I don’t overspend this month. I just passed ￥8,000 to Kwok last night so that he can pick some stuff up for me in Japan. He’s probably preparing to leave for the airport by now… Zero no Tsukaima is [...]

Located just outside the east exit of Matsudo Station in Chiba Prefecture on the JR Joban Line is Bandai Museum, a place where all true Gundam fans must go once in their lifetime… and not more than once.

Besides going to Bandai Museum today, I also revisited a few secondhand stores around Akihabara and Ikebukuro today and found some really good deals. Debt Consolidation

Spent another day wandering around Akihabara. It’s amazing how you can waste so much time just looking through the stores…

I navigated the shops of Akihabara today without a map! *tears of joy mixed with self-pity* Some new maid cafes popping up all over the place and a new Yamagiwa building is apparently under construction (or maybe it has been for a long time and I just didn’t notice it the last time). And yes, [...]
