I believe that the "cheap rip-off" feeling that one gets from a Western drawn manga doesn't stem from so much the stereotypes, the unoriginality in character design and plot, or the mere fact that it's Western and not-Japanese as it does from the art...
Gift Yoko... the pose is much more together and the face is more proportional. Koto Yoko's eyes look a little too close together, though the details look a lot better compared to their past products *cough*Rei*cough*
It's for people who are not otaku, especially those who are studying the community/culture academically. The current status of the field is fascinating, though it's frustrating sometimes because it's so new and the people who are lauded for being gro...
Umm, not sure if my comment made sense, but when I said without tax I actually calculated out the 5% sales tax. That's what I thought the rule meant... I don't want to answer twice but I think I messed that one up T_T
OMG, I can't believe I made it this far! The Figure gods are smiling upon me... and Danny Choo as well... wait, no. http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/19866/20090602+Giveaway+-+Round+Two.html#comment634815 FINAL ANSWER: 329175 yen without...

It depends on where you are; Kyoto has Aoi Matsuri in May and Gion Matsuri in July. Gion Matsuri is more like the type depicted in manga/anime, with games and food, while Aoi Matsuri is a very slow and quiet procession. I don't know much about Tokyo,...
Your weeks always look so exciting! I almost want to go back to Tokyo, but I don't think I could live there... Kyoto is still more my style. But! You've given me something to aim for after grad school. Keep up the awesomeness!
omg, so many wants! The COLORS series are so cute and remind me of Japan... and I am definitely getting that Octopus girl. The Persona 3, scary nurse girl, and Sacchan are must-haves on my list, as well. Very excited!
1000th-ed on the deadline question. I have a few pictures I took in Japan, mainly temples and Disneyland, but if that's okay then I'll get some out to ya! I can also try taking some pics of my own figures, but I think that's done to death...
