Three months before a student can shoot? That's pretty tough. I do Western archery and I was shooting arrows from my first session, but I guess it's a different discipline and my archery club is very laid-back anyway. I'd like to try kyudo someday, j...

I've been interested in languages since about the age of 8, and particularly East Asian languages. I've also been drawing from a young age because I come from an artistically-inclined family. Somewhere around 13 or 14 these two things converged when...

They'll be available on GSC's web shop from tomorrow so they'll be purchaseable with a proxy service, but they probably aren't going to see a standard release.

There were quite a few figures of Senjougahara on show, but this one was definitely the best. The cascading stationery and that facial expression really make it stand out from the ones by other companies.

I'll be there tomorrow. It's my first trip to the event, so I'm quite excited.

I'm in university dorms and get my internet for free (or included in the very cheap rent, to look at things from another perspective).The downside to that is I have to share it with a lot of other people. In the mornings my internet speed is great, b...

I flew with JAL to Japan back in August, and I'll be flying back to the UK with them in July hopefully, so I've been keeping an eye on the news about them. They're the only direct service to the UK that I can get at student prices, so I'm hoping that...

The only people I saw wearing them in the UK were exchange students from Asia at my university. I wore one for a day or two when I had a cold here in Japan. I can't imagine that it did a lot of good, but since everyone else here does it I'd feel awk...

The shoulders look a bit off and the joints are a little too visible, but I don't think it's bad for a first try. If they brought out a character I was interested in I'd probably buy one.

It may not be as aesthetically pleasing as other dolls, but it's really impressive from a technical standpoint. Those poses look great. A bit expensive to be used as an artist's tool though, and the face sculpting might have to be improved a bit to u...

The longest queues I've been in have been to get into events. I must have queued for at least three hours to get into Wimbledon a few years ago, and I've had similar waits outside of concert venues as well.

I haven't even got around to watching the anime, but this figure of her is so cute that I kind of want it anyway. If she wasn't an exclusive I'd probably have gotten her.

They look really useful - I hope they eventually go on regular sale. I always get paranoid carrying Nendoroids around because it would be too easy to damage one. I have the Puchi set, so I might give the postcard thing a try.

I had a school girl falling asleep on my shoulder a few weeks ago. I ended up sat amongst a big group of school kids for lack of somewhere else to sit and they were all falling asleep on one another. The girl's head kept slowly edging towards my shou...

She's gorgeous and I really like her face regardless of whether or not it has cute appeal, but she's too expensive for me to actually get her.

I've mostly played the earlier ones due to only having a GBA and a DS up until recently, so I couldn't really pick a favourite character. I bought a PS3 in November though, and I've got the Japanese version of XIII preordered!

I like atsuage best, mostly because I find it's the easiest kind to cook with and I'm lazy, and kinugoshi/silken the least because although it has a lovely texture it's hard to work with. I eat tofu a lot as a vegetarian in Japan, and I like trying a...

I read DC because it neatly covers a whole group of my interests in one site - anime and manga, Apple, figures, Japan and dolls. I really like the community aspect to the site, which separates it from other blogs. I appreciated the addition of the ne...

Those look pretty heavy duty. I wonder how well they even work. If I saw anybody in a suit like that I'd stay well clear of them, so I guess it might be quite effective at warding off the flu in an unintended way. I sat amongst a large group of kids...

I'd definitely get one at $100, but then I've just spent an awful lot more than that on a Super Dollfie so even the current prices don't deter me.

I prefer smaller portions because I'm scrawny and don't have much of an appetite normally. I always feel guilty in UK restaurants because I end up having to leave at least a third of the meal uneaten because they always serve giant portions.

I have to get my hair cut soon and I'm dreading it because I don't have a particularly simple style, nor do I know anything about the local hair salons. Even talkative hairdressers aren't talkative with me - I'm really quiet and apparently it can be...

I don't think they want to stop their customers having a good time, they just don't want the women working there to be treated disrespectfully or prevented from doing their job properly. I honestly wouldn't call any of the forbidden behaviours friend...

Yeah, there are people around who won't follow the rules no matter what, but there are also people with the courtesy to keep to them, so posting the rules will at least keep the amount of trouble lower than it would be otherwise. Plus it's harder to...
