Misaka Figma Review

I finally got my Misaka Figma in the mail today! Went through a bit of trouble to get this one, since it’s only sold on Dengeki’s Online store Degekiya.The figma is more or less exactly like the Mikoto Figma save for the accessoreis, different faces, and the modification to the hair so it can house the trademark goggles of “Radio Noise”. I’m really glad to have one of these figmas, especially since there were only 20,000 made. They’ve even included a nice disctinction for each figure via a sticker on the bottom of the stand:

Since I’m still in the middle of learning Japanese I’m not too sure of the meaning other than the fact that the top says Radio Noise (In Katakana with the Kanji underneath it) and I’m fairly certain the Kanji in the lower right corner is a number. If anyone’s willing to translate the meaning of the sticker and the information regarding it on picture below, it would help out a lot.

Now I have some news regarding this that may interest some of you. During my quest to get the figma I’ve purchased it via two sites to ensure I got one since both of them didn’t give me a guarantee that I’d get it. As it turns out I got a figma from both sites so I have 2 Misaka figmas! One’s enough for me and I’d like to get some money back from the other one so I’m selling it. Not sure if eBay is really the best way anymore since they tax you now from what I hear. In any case if anyone is interested in buying the figma let me know. I’d like to sell it for $100 + shipping if possible. I’d like a fellow Misaka fan to give her a good home! If there’s any takers leave a comment, and I’ll get back to you via e-mail. I’m doing this as a last resort before I go onto eBay to sell her. I’m hoping I can do this person to person via PayPal.

KamiNomi Character CDs

Yep, like I thought. They’re doing character CDs. Paid a visit to the KamiNomi Wiki. They have all the information on the CDs: release dates, song lists, etc.  Elcea’s came out first, and Ayumi’s comes out Nov. 17. So pretty soon. The only one I feel I’ll get so far is Kanon’s character CD; since they’ve played some of her songs in the anime. I liked her songs enough too; the only thing for me is that I’m not seeing “All4You” in the song list for Kanon’s character CD. Hopefully it is, and wouldn’t you know it, Kanon’s is the last one to come out; December 15. That’s still a little whiles away. Hopefully it’ll have “All4You”; I’ll need to see if I can find Ayumi’s character song in the anime or find samples online somewhere. I have a feeling I might be interested in hers too.

Ah, you can find all the Character CD information at the KamiNomi wiki at:

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai – Ep 4

Screens:

MangaGamer booth

Ok, in the span of 20 minutes I have spent $200 at the MangaGamer booth. ON What? Sketches, shirts, giant robots, and the new d2b cd! Details later!

AX 2010

AX starts and I got my badge! Really looking forward to the mangagamer booth and with my new droid I hope to be posting updates during the con and hopefully some pictures too!

Fairy Tail Chapter 169

Wow, so we’re in “alternate universes” now in Fairy Tail and we get to see the Fairy Tail we know and love, but the opposite of their usual selves.

Gray wears excess clothes and is in love with Juvia!?

Cana is a proper non-drinking lady!?!??

and perphaps most shocking of all, Lucy is a foul-mouthed badass!!!?!

Is it odd that among all these character changes in this parallel universe, I can only think how Erza is here? For some reason I’m thinking (if not hoping) that she’ll be a gentle, friendly maid-type. Since there seems to be a pattern of opposite behavior, it’s likely that this universe’s Erza is a polite soft-spoken yandere; something like School Days’ Kotonoha. I put up a new poll on this to see how everyone else thinks this universe’s Erza will be like.

C77 is here, and I got a Wishlist!

C77 has started a few days ago, and I’ve been looking up at my favorite circles to see what they’re up to and here’s what their doing:

Saigado: doing another Kings of Fighters doujinshi (Yuri & Friends 2009: Unparticipation of Mai) it’s obviously revolves around Mai

Happy Water: doing a Saki doujinshi and it seems to feature Nodoka

Bolze: I think they’re doing a To aru Kagaku no Railgun, but I’m not too sure on that

SAZ: doing another To aru Majutsu no Index doujinshi; the next in the Amakusa Moyou na series

Studio Huan: doing a few Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha doujinshis and they’re selling some sexy sheets featuring Nanoha-chan, Fate-chan, and Hayate-chan (the Strikers version of the characters btw)

Fukudahda: doing a Love Plus doujinshi

NiseMIDI: doing a Clannad doujinshi; it seems to feature Kyou

Hikakuteki Simple na Panty: doing a Baka to Test to Shōkanjū doujinshi

That concludes my list of my favorite circles; I’m definitely gonna be looking for other promising doujinshi as well. If anyone’s interested in the homepages of these circles, let me know and I’ll put them up.  Now I need to start thinking about what doujinshis to buy……..

Site Update

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but a lot of things have come up for me. I’ve been busy looking for a new job as I got laid off last month, I’ve been applying for unemployment, I’ve been finishing off the last few classes I need to graduate, I’ve been doing some inking for an inking class I’m taking, and I’m coming up with story ideas for M.I.C.C competition. I’m pretty busy, but I’m still working on the site. It’s just I got a lot of little posts partway done. I’m busy on going over Bakemonogatari 13, I’m looking at Seitokai no Ichizon, some updates from some Comptiq and Dengeki Gs magazines, I’ll post up stuff whenever I can; though from now to mid December, it’s gonna be inconsistent. On a seperate note, I’d like to say “Hayate no Gotoku manga: Wow, lots of stuff going on there. It kinda feels like we’re switching from a heartfelt romance to an epic fantasy story. I mean it’s throwing us for a loop here.

Black Rock Shooter Anime? or…WHAT?!

Just a few days ago, Animelo Summer 2009 featured Hatsune Miku as a guest singer.

Finals Week: Means no Rest, and No Posts

I just found out I have a Final this Saturday, and a follow-up on Monday. This means I’ll put up the usual posts and some snapshots I took while I was at E3 after Monday as I’m trying to cram in 500 pages + of material into my head. Wish me luck!
