I had no idea until today that Yoshizaki Mine, the creator of Keroro Gunsou and numerous ero-girls, had done guest work for Soul Cali 4. Angol Fear not only shares part of a name with Angol Mois from Keroro, but their wardrobes seem to be rather coor... ( view detail page » )

I notice a good deal of people on here talk about shopping in stores for their anime/figures/manga/models. Around my area there are maybe three anime type stores, all of which aren't that current when it comes to stocking stuff. None take preorders a... ( view detail page » )

Woot, finally got the Sniper Look Version of Yoko today in the post! She's a Wonder Fest original limited edition, and she looks great! I have like four more Yoko figures coming down the pike in the next few months, I wonder if I'm developing some so... ( view detail page » )

Just picked up the Heroes Season 2 special edition DVD box set and rewatched the really short season. It has a bonus disc that includes scenes from episodes 12 and 13 which were apparently filmed before the writers' strike and weren't aired (obviousl... ( view detail page » )

A shelf full of tiny Super Robot Wars figures (keychains, whatever ^^), a Gundam bust clock whose eyes would light up again if I put batteries in him, a Haro whose eyes light up and makes noises if you put him in the palm of your hand, Gundam Chara F... ( view detail page » )

After the article about being "proud to be an otaku" I decided to take a pic of all of my anime/Japanese shirts. I especially like the Rockman one, the Gurren Lagann ones are awesome and the seppuku one (the yellow one with the ukiyoe looking samurai... ( view detail page » )

I got these bento at a local Japanese grocery store like 7-8 years ago, and I use them to keep extra figure parts in, mainly. The lower one actually has pumpkin and melon flavored Kit-Kats in it. ^^ Anyone else own any Engrishy stuff that they're pro... ( view detail page » )

The original of this song was a popular meme in like 2002, and for not understanding any Hindi I found it pretty catchy. It was by an artist named Daler Mendh... ( view detail page » )

Does anyone remember the game Kung-Fu for the NES, or スパルタンX for the Famicom? This is from a show called ( view detail page » )

I'm liquidating the figures I don't want, a few Shanas and a Saber, as well as some brand new stuff like Evangelion Soundrops, D Gray Man Charamate collection, a few other D Gray Man Figumate/J-Mini things, take a look at my ( view detail page » )

I ran across this ebay store, and some of their stuff is exceptionally cheap, while other stuff is expensive, to "normally priced", and the low-bid auctions ... ( view detail page » )

Had a preorder in for this Yoko a while back, and she's pretty dead-on. I actually had an ad for the DVD with this artwork of her in this exact pose hanging above my monitor by sheer coincidence when I first looked at this figure. I've never heard of... ( view detail page » )

Found this pic a while ago, and the perspective and style I felt were cool, but the ominous clouds in the background, as well as the characters were a little off. Kagami and Konata's hands look almost old man, or ape-like, they're huge! Overall the p... ( view detail page » )

Found this on Japan Probe, it's a claymation short by a Japanese artist about -- you guessed it -- a maid taking out zombies with a chainsaw. There's a bunch of claymation ... ( view detail page » )

Got new shoes today from Diesel (the brand of clothing that Dante wears in the Devil May Cry series of games, btw). I thought the colors and style lent themselves to my otaku side, and to legitimize this post further, I've included my Dragon Quest Sl... ( view detail page » )

This Yoko from Movic drops in October, and I have to say I don't really like her. From afar I almost want to preorder her, the pose is cool, she's got a bullet between her fingertips, lotsa cleavage. But up close, her eyebrows seem to be painted in s... ( view detail page » )

Already have the Konata Figma, and for the sake of completeness (and cuteness!) I have Tsukasa here preordered as well as Kagami. I didn't think I'd like them due to the visible joints thing, but that quickly faded once I started posing her. Tsukasa ... ( view detail page » )

Unboxed the curvaceous Konami version of Yoko last night and took some pics: Profile view ( view detail page » )

Finally unboxed my Lucky Star Wonder Festival Nendroids, so I figured I'd post a pic here. More pics below: ( view detail page » )

I know when I got into the Japanese language ages ago in junior high school, I branched out pretty rapidly into culture, manga, games, etc. I liked video games a lot then and that was the reason I started studying Japanese. Little did I know I would ... ( view detail page » )

Got this awesome strawberry milk mug from Gintama, made by Cospa. Got it from Hobby Search. More at ( view detail page » )

Being on the bleeding edge of new anime, I know a sizable amount of people here probably, erm, "homebrew" their own DVD collections out of fansubs. But how many of you actually draw or even print labels for your DVDs? I often do whenever I really lik... ( view detail page » )
