Mystic Eyes of Nendoroid Perfection

Woo! It arrived, I waited ages. Well not really ages, it shipped 2 weeks ago and it feels like forever when your last shipment came three times as fast. Hurr Hurr. So here it is, my Nendoroid Ryougi Shiki by Goodsmile Company, she is the main character of a series called Kara no Kyoukai ~the Garden of Sinners~.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni – 09

Checking up on Kanon and Jessica, the remaining nine find only her corpse behind the door to her room, marked with a pentagram. It is speculated that only one of the servants master keys could have locked the door and therefore they are suspected by Rosa, and further attention is directed at the missing Kanon as the culprit or that his key was used. Battler reflects on possible events and stumble across the fact that Kanon’s key is still in Jessica’s pocket.

Suddenly, my Birthday!

Yay! I had a pretty good relaxing day today. Birthday crept up on me so quickly, and I feel old at 22. Today, I had a good sleep, despite the whole insomnia thing and I hung out with a friend for a small portion of the day. We went out for lunch and watched some TV Series at my place, then I dropped her home and I watched some TV with my parents. We rented some movies and got Chinese Food. As for my cake; My dad has nightshift so my mum bought me a cheesecake (Delicious) and we plan to make one tomorrow for when he’s around (Even though I don’t really care for the whole Birthday Celebration thing).

To me birthdays are like my own private celebration and I hate gatherings where I am center of attention, so I hardly ever have parties for such an occasion. It’s just a day where I have free reign in my family and blessings from everyone I know, which is great. Oh yeah there’s also the presents ^_^

 

NEW Higurashi Pocket’s to DIE for…

banpresto_higurashi01
More Higurashi stuff to collect! So as title suggests there is going to be another set; Banpresto’s Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Deformation Maniac Figure Collection – Pocket Vol.3! I know it’s a mouthful. This set features a “Take Home” Rena, a Nekomimi Rika, Miyo Takano!, and some crappy “Bawww” Satoko.

These figures like the preview set, will sell at about ¥600 each, and released in mid April 2010 (Too far away!) But be careful though, these cute little girls may have you stabbed, shot down, injected, or pushed off a bridge just to get them. I’m not going to take my eyes off of these until they become orderable, or else I might end up scratching out my own throat if I miss getting them.

The Shrine of Otaku Fandom

I haven’t really made many figure posts primarily because, where do I begin? I don’t usually get many figurines, and suddenly to start blogging about them is a little daunting. I do get some novelty figures, like the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Daybreak Gachapon collectables and the Pani Poni Dash tradables, but that was mainly a perk of the hour. I have a few reasons for not doing posts like these.

It isn’t exactly a great shrine and it does not stay like this unfortunately, Haha. These are just some of the prominent pieces of the subculture merchandise I have collected primarily over the past year or so. At first I thought buying this stuff was kind of silly, but I have grown to love acquiring it all and collecting them. As you can tell, I’m an avid fan of Higurashi / Umineko / Shana. You could also say a fan of Haruhi except expectations and standards have been lowered recently, and I shouldn’t have to go into that.

So what we have here really is my figure collection, artbooks, DVD’s, and some miscellaneous. I shall go through it all!

Umineko no Naku Koro ni – 08

The servants discover and show Rosa the locked Chapel. On the doors, drawn in what appears to be blood is a pentacle symbol and writing spelling out ‘Happy Halloween for Maria’. Rosa finds the key in the letter Maria received earlier and opens the chapel doors only to stumble upon the corpses of her siblings, their stomachs gutted and filled with candy. The first twilight has begun.

Shakugan no Shana S – 01

Shana and Yuji plunder through Friagne’s treasure trove of Hougu looking for any in particular, when Yuji discovers an object similar to that of a Kaleidoscope. When Yuji points it to look at Shana, they switch with each others consciousness.

Catching up, and Life

So basically, I have been bogged down with things I have to be doing rather then commenting and catching up with all the anime in my downloaded folder. While I have been able to watch a lot of it, blogging about it is a different story, it is time consuming at the moment and it will get easier soon with my exam(s) creeping up and soon to be going away.

The reason I haven’t done much in the past month is because the entire 2-3 weeks leading up until now have been Assignment and Study times for University. Things that I have done are adding in a MAL RSS feed in the sidebar. You can see what I’ve been watching ^_^ and also what I haven’t.

You can see from what I watch that I’m willing to give pretty much anything a go and I will enjoy most things from the beginning, but half the time I lose interest and end up forgetting all about it. It’s really shows that I look forward to and have staying power that I enjoy immensely, if they have both of those I end up watching it till the end, and actually wait patiently for subtitles to emerge.

Umineko is up to episode 20 this week, Letter Bee should be episode 5 or 6, and I was going to do a post on Shakugan no Shana S OVA aswell. I’ll do them as soon as possible. Going to have to go on a blogging binge to catch up with Umineko though XD
