I think Musubi would give you problems using the mouse.... Her eyes are just too big !!!
however they do make better work pillows. ^^;
you got me there.... ummmmm, may be leaning towards your conclusion....
LOL at the review about the mousepad! xD Nice review about the other parts of magazine, and thanks for reminding me that fall anime will start next week and I need to clean up my HD space *ehem*. ^^ About the poll, even though I answered "No but will at home only", I'm still not sure if I could use it at home. xD
i need to get one of those oppai mouse pads for support wrist
Yeah! me too!! Laying down your wrist in the soft, well made and perfect....errrrr I mean, its good for your hand... ^_^ Lol
i would probably bring it to work, but not to skool, cuz student might steal it >.<
If i ordered an oppai mousepad at my lcoal JP hobby shop, & my friends found out, i'd be shunned and be labeled as a hentai-otaku who strayed too far ^^; but will an oppai mousepad help with pc gaming ? i mean, it's surely nice to relax your hand at something... XD
LOL at photo#22248, does look comfortable though ^^; I take my 1hour power-nap in daily basic, it does help to recharge your mind, give it a try. But during the begining, it's a bit hard to wake up from just 1 hour & will ended up saying this by the time you're awake: "What time is it now? Oh SH!t! I missed my dinner!"
Well, I don't think I'd use an oppai mouse pad at school/work....maybe after I work a little on the idea I could do it. On the other hand, using it at home it totally fine. I actually ordered some month back the Yoko oppai mouse pad from Hobby Search, which I should get soon....hopefully, need to wait for the order to be completed. It a huge order, almost 500$ in figure. x_x But when I saw your previous post about the Haruka oppai mouse pad, got a pre-order of it just to realize yesterday when you posted about having acquired it, that I actually ordered wrong magazine, so had to cancel order, searched around for it and finally managed to find it on amazon.jp and luckily they ship it outside of japan. So, I should get my own Haruka and Yoko oppai mouse pad soon. ^^
lol I never thought I'd be reading a review of a mousepad on DannyChoo.com. ^^; I'd love to get one but am at a loss as to where to put it. can't use it at work nor at home. and will probably end up giving it away as a gift. ^^ lol on your hirune. ^^; btw was wondering about "Goal in". do both men and women refer to getting hitched/ married that way? oh btw you should do a post on Japanese Weddings. I have a feeling there's more to it than just saying "I do" ^^
Easy answer for me, Lala. I also will never use a mouse pad like that, just doesn't look cool to me.
We need more magazine reviews. xD Just added To Aru Majutsu no Index to my watch list; seems interesting. It joins a list of basically half the anime coming out. >_> As for the mousepad - I'm sure I'm going to get carpal tunnel syndrome someday, but I don't use a mousepad. I have a nice, normal wrist-padded mousepad, but it restricts my moment so I don't bother any more.
Damn it I have to get myself an oppai mousepad soon. That is one great review, Danny. Love the mousepad, and the mag review too XD... I would definitely use it at home, at work, and even bring it out to starbucks just for show ^^ That is the best mousepad I've ever seen. 3000 yen for a mag and an oppai mousepad is such a steal!
Damn Danny from these pics it seems like you sure had your way with that mousepad, poor thing.
"poor thing" = me or haruka? ^^;
Haruka, ur the one violating her lol, dunno whether to call you a lucky bastard or a very very bad man.
That has to be the best review of a mouse pad I have ever read. I would almost be tempted to use one just for that pad alone. I can't wait for Tora Dora though, I love the manga, so the anime should be a treat.
As for the mouse pad, I'm scared of what my family would think... >.>; As for the fall anime coming out, there are too many good ones to watch! XD I'm looking forward to Chaos;Head and all the rest of the anime on this article. ^^
your arvo nap pose is too awesome 10/10 looks like i need to replace my pillow...
I'll have to keep an eye on Kemeko Deluxe and Toaru Majutsu no Index. They sound interesting. I'll wait until after the first episode or two of each airs though, so I can decide which one to spend my time on. I don't know most of the girls in the heroine grand prix, but Louise is so awesome that I think even if I did know the others I'd probably still pick her. "Goal in"? XD Definitely don't say that here! The most common euphemism I hear is "getting hitched."
You B@stard!! You watch more anime!!!
Shugo, please refrain from saying flame-y comments, even though it is a joke. Misunderstanding's a headache(see School Rumble, lol) and other members has emotion too, right? ^^ (P.S.: I didn't want to bash you ok? Just a friendly reminder. ^^)
Sweet mag, reminds me I'm letting my subscription to Nintendo power run out after all these years. I just don't have the money to support a dying media. I can get everything I need online for free.
Mehe Clannad release week on my birthday week makes the best present ever :D
Hmmm...choosing girls...choosing girls...and I choose Musubi...^^ And I agree with Poofiemus regarding "Goal in"...completely different connotation around here...^^;
Danny great post as always!!!! The two figmas on the mouse pad cracked me up!!!! LOL Can't wait for the fall season. I know I'm picking up at least 7 shows this season!!!
^^ haruka, i'm liking this series a lot!!!
Hm, not entirely convinced of the usefulness of this oppai mouse pad... I mean the usefulness for work:P
YES index and toradora on my to-watch list! xD
I had to make my husband come see your tactics lol
Toradora, Index and Kemeko DX...great more to catch up on...man I wish I had that oppai mouse pad during college since I usually find a place to put my head down for a little nap before class starts...
Will be watching every anime that is listed in this article. That's alot... I need to ask if this magazine will still be avaliable when I go to Japan in December... Otherwise, I'll have to order it online.
Pretty much have those all on my watch list. I'm not liking the idea of Rie being once again, a loli tsundere character. Taiga sounds way too much like Louise.
Taiga isn't anything like Louise though in all honesty.
Thank God!!
Well so far she isn't as a character, but I was talking more in the sense of her voice that reminds me.
Lolols, seems like you're having fun there, Danny ^^
Oh Danny, your oppai mousepad ero comments sure are amusing! XD I'd like to get my hands on that Yoko mousepad; looks reaaaally nice. I'll make sure to learn from your oppai mousepad tactics!
Miyafuji... I'm starting to like Strike Witches too much. :P Almost crapped my pants with Danny "drowning" on Haruka's oppai. Didn't start watching it yet, though I already got a couple of episodes. Will give a detailed look tomorrow, since it's already 4am and I'm almost keyboard-sleeping here. If only I had an Oppai mousepad...
Good my G's Festival is in the mail via EMS and should be here soon, or I'd be steaming right now xD Haruka in a wedding dress makes my heart pitter-patter...she's just so cute and lovely...sigh ! Would probably go for Yoshika if forced to make a choice, although that makes me feel bad for the other girls in the list. It's hard for me to pick favorites among loved characters/shows
Did you bought it online? Where?
http://www.mangaoh.co.jp/catalog/175429/ They ship internationally, but aside from the account setup page, you need to be able to read Japanese. That's the product page for this magazine linked above.
Wow, Danny just gave us a good practical lesson on how to use oppai mousepad efficiently! Damn it Danny, now I really want to an oppai mousepad, nooo...
Yeah. Very creative methods for oppai mouse pad.
Damn, that Dengeki looks like such a yummy magazine...but it'll probably cost a fortune to import here and probably will come without the goodies...But seeing this, I feel an urge to really start remembering my hiragana and kanji...plus the meanings of what I read ^^. BTW how is the contest tool coming along? Wouldn't mind winning an oppai pad.
Haruka-chaaaaan!!!! WANT! Want that magazine....*sob* AND...and....a magazine with posters of Haruka and Clannad girls!!! OMG I must get it!! Somehow!! And for the grandprix, its either Haruka or Yoshika.
What happens if you happen to have more than 1 oppai mousepad? Sweet Hirune?
ohhh danny this post was damn hilarious made my day... now i want a oppai mousepad...
Me too! Makes me order one right now! xD
oogles # mouus pad. Very nice Danny. All of those anime are on my watchlist. This falls line up seems like its going to be pretty good. Has anyone else gotten the Haruka mouse pad?
absurdity aside, mouse pads cushions are really useful in practice. i find my wrist aching after a day's work in front of the computer, and always lament the lack of a proper wrist cushion. but man, gotta love that "in your face" shot. if anything, you should come up with more "unorthodox" methods of testing your safs...
I want this mousepad since I saw it on Dannys-news a few weeks ago, still nowhere available online... or at least I haven't found a shop where you can order it.. but I NEED this! All of the anime were/are on my watchlist^^
When the heck do people find out about the availability of these magazine any time someone mentions something about them I go check and poof already sold out. I guess you have to be really quick on the toes to get these magazines. As for the napping stuff I work at night and occasionally I'll take a quick 15 minute nap if I start to nod off. It definitely feels refreshing afterwards.
I mentioned this in the my News Items a while ago. If there is going to be a cool freebie I will always pick up on it.
wow, Kugimiya Rie voicing as Aisaka Taiga? she's THE voice for tsundere charas ehh... ^^
LOL at the mousepad, wtf suzaku n lelouch, pose is very funny ^^
I think I'll wait till a really cute oppai mousepad comes out before I shell out $40AU+ to get it landed here in Australia. I don't know if I'd want to use it much though as the paint might rub off from over-use ^^;;
Depends on what you use it for ^^;
you mean the paint can actually come off in certain situations?! @_@ ne ne Danny-kun, oshiete yo. will this issue of g festival be very quickly sold out by the end of October? i so want to get this mousepad when i go to Tokyo then!
Well, I don't think any of it will rub off on you but....the image on the mouse pad I've been using for years is pretty much faded. ^^;
Posted a link in the puchi blurbs - order it at amazon and have it sent to a Japanese address to wait for you.
now if only I was visiting Tokyo.....
Wow your pictures made me laugh a lot. Maybe I'll buy one of these mousepad one day... Heroine Gran Prix ? I would choose Kyouka-sama !
i have a oppai mousepad from a previous issue of Dengeki G. the surface was kinda rough so do make sure to squeeze it often to smoothen it. ('~')
i do take a half an hour to an hour rest after my lunch at work. not a nap, i just put myself in screensaver mode. ^^;
I need a oppai mousepad... for my wrist you know ^^
I wonder if it is really good for wrist. Maybe just a marketing.
hahaha I cannot stop laughing!!! Tomorrow will ran to buy one, and maybe I'll sleep over too ^^
I just had a great idea for the input device of the future! It's like an oppai mousepad but instead of clicking on the left or right mouse button you have to squeeze the left or right oppai. Sliding your eyes between her eyes will replace the scroll wheel. Additionally there should be some sort of touchscreen at the cleavage, throat and face area to move the cursor. I should call a patent agent! @_@ Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is on my watch list. In my opinion the anime itself is just above average but Haruka and Miki are too cute to resist. I will watch Toradora! and the new season of Clannad too. The anime character design of Taiga looks a little bit like Chiaki (Minami-ke) to me. ^^
"Sliding your finger between her eyes will replace the scroll wheel." fixed ^_^''
Argh..misspelled Mika. AGAIN! I suck. *lol*
Man I wish we have magazines like that here. :|
Danny should make a Mirai or Suenaga Haruka (not Nogizaka) one to give out your business card instead! sometimes I buy magazines only for the freebies ^^;
Yeah!! We could be Danny's hitmen/henchmen!!
I don't think I'll be able to get away with using an Oppai Mousepad. I'll probably get a death stare from my girlfriend ^^;
Girlfriend: Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-----
Oppai mouse pads need full-fledged reviews because they are so deep and elaborate products ^^
I don't think I can use one, since both my work and home mousepads are now gaming type mousing surfaces which are really too comfortable for me to consider anything else.
NOOOOOOO No-ho ho ho, sir!! No Oppai Mousepad for me!! Looking forward to the new anime, especially ToraDora!(Rie Kugimiya RULES, and she's hot!!) and Kemeko DX, oh, and Macademi Wasshoi!/ Magician's Academy!! for more info on Macademi Wasshoi!/Magician's Academy: http://www.macademi.tv/pv/index.html Has one of the most awesome main characters to come in 16 years (Tenchi Muyo!/ Ranma 1/2 era), her name's Tanarott!!!
By the way I dropped Haruka Nogizaka , after episode 3
Keeping an oppai mousepad at work/home is like openly saying you're a pervert and want people passing by to hit you on the head. i already have a cushion mousepad at home, so no need for these.
forgot to mention this: female colleagues at work would always be staring at your hands and you with fear when you go near them, if you had that thing next to you.
Toaru Majutsu no Index looks like an awesome anime and I agree on it having alot of girlies... Mmm, can't wait for this and CLANNAD After Story... Just wondering, do the magazines there usually cost that much? http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2888542349/sizes/o/ This picture is made of win LOL You made me smile, thanks Danny!
Only when there are freebies attached - so I guess they are not really "free."
Tora Dora... I thought I was watching Shakugan no Shana for a second there.
I`m jealous of the things you only can buy on Japan... And this kind of stuff can be order on-line, or at least I don`t know the way, argh!
I really Liked Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, I switched to watching it when I got bored of To LoveRu. I would use that mousepad at home, I'd like to order it when it becomes available if it isn't unreasonably priced. Those new series look interesting, just put them on my "to check out list". I Favorites were Haruka-chan, Musubi-chan, and Kanu-chan (though still haven't got around to finishing it). Lastly I don't really feel sleeping unless its after a big meal, either lunch or early dinner.
Oh, that mousepad is VERY interesting. Very interesting, indeed. I would only be able to use that at home, though. While I am the boss, I wouldn't be for much longer if that showed up on my desk at work. :)
When I sustained a wrist tendon infection some years ago I had real trouble using a mouse. Since I would always crush the inflamed tendons against the desk surface I got one of those wrist gel pads and I haven't stopped using them since. I always take one to work and at home I even use an extra wide eXactRest from Razer (came with the Razer eXactMat mousepad ). The one I take to work is a model with only the wrist gel pad, no mouse mat attached to it, so it's roughly the size and shape of a mouse so I see many people mistake it for the mouse. XD Would I use one of these? Sure! ^^
haha i would want one but not use it tho...lol itz going to be haruka or lala for me...tough choice between the 2 tho
Dammit, Danny. I want that mousepad.
lol
lol, that was probably one of the funniest oppai mousepad posts I've seen. And for what it's worth, my top pick of the summer 2008 heroines is definitely Haruka.
Charm Point lool reminds me of sexy commando for some reason Nogizaka Haruka's popularity seems artificial to me. I think people 'want' the pretense so bad that they are willing to accept anything that comes their way. ecchi + otaku girl is a win win situation? although doujin work didnt seem to do as well as people thought it would.
Thing is, in doujin work I can't really see the girls as fanservice material, except for maybe Sora for the lolicon but even that doesn't appeal (there are other better lolis). Nogizaka Haruka seems to be way too good; a super hardcore female otaku that is moe and pretty and all kinds of fanserviceable? I find that hard to believe, I think Fujoshi Rumi depicts how a femme otaku looks more accurately.
Haruka certainly doesn't seem hardcore at all, much more a beginner-otaku of sorts. She'd never even been to the Akihabara or the Comiket whilst living nearby to Tokyo! Even Ogiue at first would've been more indoctrinated in Otakuness.
Nice goodies ^^
I WANT TI!!! SO BAD!!!
LOL at that review. (: I picked up one of these at Akihabara Gamers the other day. They had it advertised out on a board right in front of their store. Though, the mousepad is going to my brother. I would never live it down if I used that at work. The book that comes with it is very nice as well. Worth the $30 I think.
Thank God for Kinokuniya Bookstores in Los Angeles!!!! Thanks for the heads up Dannychoo. I'm sure Kinokuniya Bookstores will definitely stock this in Los Angeles. And i'll have my eyes peeled 100% for this. I never miss these special issues of G's Festival. I can hardly wait.
Nice presentation!!! Now, I want to buy one too lol
I LOLed. Nice article Danny. I can see that you had a really good time.
Why can't they make one of some hot guys butt cheeks or something? >_<
God business opportunity.
Agreed!! Playing w/ another girl's "eyes" isn't on my list of things to do. Although some men probably would prefer if more women did play w/ each other's oppai. ;}
I used to use two oppai mouse pads in my office at work, before I moved to Tokyo.
How come you dont use anymore?
^^ haruka is the best ^^ cant w8 for my pre order to get in ^^ loves haruka so much XD ^^ funny article danny ^^ lol allot lol ^^
I watched a bit of Nogizaka Haruka but it was pretty dull and generic. They didn't really play up the otaku aspect well enough to distinguish it from other romantic comedy series. Greatest female otaku in anime is still Konata, IMO. The only oppai mousepad I want is the Yoko one from GL. I would use an actual mouse for my laptop if I had that mousepad, lol.
In my dorm room- heck yeah! They already provide resting mousepads though in some of the computer labs....
as a girl I don't know how I feel about giggling my wrist between another woman's tanima. I do however, want to get one for my husband. I want to tease him mercifully when he squeezes one of her oppai by "mistake" ha ha ha ;o
danny looks so comfy :D
lol. Yeah,I don't think he's asleep at all. Tsk. Tsk.
Danny. I think you should check out the book "Power Sleep" by by Dr. James Maas. The 20-minute power naps really do work well, especially for all-nighters to get a project done.
arrrr...Sorry, to interrupt. I am totally against the 3D mouse pad because I LOVE FLAT!!!!!!!!!!!! I still find the Noumi mouse pad from last last G's festival for being TOO bumpy. PLZ!!! LOLI is suppose to be PURE FLAT!!!!!
Thanks for the preview on the figures. Looking forward to get a box!
want one! but the chance to get this issue now is very close to zero ^^;
Heh, mousepad review. :D No wonder Danny grabs the wrong thing by mistake; that's one small mouse... *whisper* ...almost the same size too.
Well, after searching in Azobit and Mandarake, finally found it at Toranoana! lol The mousepad is sexy and cute, (love touch it ^^)
incredible! i can't find it in online shops.=T__T= sorry for my bad English~
Awesome. I really need to get that XD.
NICE, I hate you..
I'd get it for fun, but theres no way the people in my life will not notice. I would see no end to curious stares.
I want that Taiga button or whatever that is, now!
dude, Kyouran is at it's climax!
Wow! so many goodies comes with Dengeki G's this month! I'll see if I can get one locally. =D
Wow. I don't think I'll find one here. Although that would be a great Christmas gift
LOL the picture with your head on her boobs is great :D http://www.dannychoo.com/adp/eng/1580/Nogizaka+Haruka.html#image22248
I have one at home and one at work. But seriously, when coding you only have to use the keyboard, right? ;)
It's just a shame the anime series fell far short of its potential. At least the soundtrack and the ED were pretty good though.
Neat! In answer to your poll, I wouldn't stand a chance using one at school. Knowing my school, I'd get expelled in seconds. xD
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!!! The item is sold out at Amazon Japan!! Damn me for being stingy !! I was waiting for the the Dengeki G's Comic due to be published at the end of this month, and have them shipped together for cheaper shipping cost... But now it's out of stock already!!! sob, i want my mousepad...!! Guys, do you think this thing will be restocked at Amazon?? any of you who used to shop there can inform me about this, please... because if it won't be re-stocked, ever.. I think I'll run straight to Kinokuniya to buy this... at a ridiculously marked-up price (double to the price in Japan). Need help ASAP guys, thanks.
Btw, i just realized, i used the exact same mouse Danny is using on those picture....!!! Well, that's just great... it just made me picturing using that mousepad over and over again... made me want it all the more...!! Just called Kinokuniya and ask them to hold on to one copy for me, which i said I'm gonna grab by the weekend.... so at least I got a buffer in case Amazon really don't stock it up anymore...
Yippee.. suddenly and miraculously the item is available at Amazon!! i dunno, maybe after checking the warehouse they found out that there's 1 left, or maybe someone cancelled their order, well whatever it is, i got the goods in the bag... well in the ship actually, it will arrive at my front door around early November, along with my pre-ordered copy of Dengeki G's Festival! Comic 4. Well, this still come at a cost... The copy of Dengeki G's Festival! 11 that i already reserved was taken by someone else... There goes my Tougi Shiro's dakimakura.. T,T and it was so kewt too...
The show in question I have not seen but find this rather delightful in seeing the mouse pad. I do have a to agree that would make a wonderful pillow for a nap. This article is also informative in that I learned a new word for a nap. Thank you for this article. I hope that mouse pad helps with your programing.
I wish I had one. However it may be dangerous if my girlfriend sees it
Well...I already have 5 oppai mouse pad, and they are better than Haruka's one for sure. One of Chua Churam, other of Chiyu Nakauchi, other of petanko Ymir, other of Kousaka Tamaki(from dengeki deluxe 2) and lastly other of Noumi Kudryavka( dengeki deluxe 3). I think the petanko oppai mouse pads better than the big boobed ones(Chua Churam nearly killed my right wrist). Noumi saved my wrist with her tsurupetan. Surelly I will pass that volume of Dengeki Festival, as that mouse pad do not pleased me( if it was a Haruka illustration from Shaa - i would have bought it long ago ^^). Will save that money for another cool mousepad, like the one of Hibarigaoka Yuki.
definitely i need one of those mouse pads, my wrist isnt going to get tired any more
love these mousepads
i don't care if both Haruka nad i are both girls. i would get one of my own. i'd even try the business card thing. i'm not so sure about the nap in her bosom, but if i'm really tired, i'll probably end up doing so.
