Saber & Tosaka Rin Summer Ver, (PVC Figure)

From "Fate/stay night" comes a new version of Saber! Based on the illustration showed at the TYPE-MOON booth at Comic Market 76, The Wizards' Summer Vacation, this is a perfect representation of the distinctive posing and feeling from Takashi Takeuchi's illustration! Saber is depicted in a simple pose, and the simplicity of her outfit draws all attention to the beautiful detail in her face and hair. With a soft smile and gently flowing ribbon this figure perfectly captures Saber's quiet side.

My Lisani! Vol.4 & Black Rock Shooter Phenomenon (Art Book) arrived!

Actually the parcel arrived yesterday but I was not home when the postman came, so I had to go to the post office to collect it myself.
Post on my preorder here.

As usual, Hobby Search sent in a big box!

and the usual, layers of paper protection! I just love Hobby Search's shipping. Well protected but at the same time more environmentally-friendly, compared to relying too much on bubble wrap.

Black Rock Shooter Phenomenon

This book is simply awesome. Great pictures, great printing, covers almost everything, from the animation itself, the people behind it, the art works, to features of the figures, figma and collectibles!

Lisani! Vol.4

By the way, Lisani! is an A5 magazine by Sony Magazines and covers music from animations (simply anisong!). It mainly contains interviews of the singers and groups who sang the opening, ending and insert songs of various anime, etc, and it also features the singles and album releases of the songs and soundtracks. Love it! Great print and awesome content! >w<

In the first opening song and second ending of Toradora! she sang with Rie Kugimiya and Eri Kitamura, seiyu of Taiga Aisaka and Ami Kawashima respectively. In episode 19 of the anime, she sang 'Holy Night' with Kugimiya.

Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne!!

'Shuusuke Takanashi has made a hobby out of collecting naughty magazines, naughty DVDs and naughty pictures, and he also has a healthy interest in school swimsuits, knee-socks and striped panties.


Fortunately for him, his adorable younger sister Nao loves the fact that her perverted brother that will do anything he can to take a glimpse of her panties - she'd take him over a stylish brother any day.


But Iroha Tsuchiura, Shuusuke's childhood friend is coming back after being away for 10 years... and she sure isn't going to give up on Shuusuke now. She even keeps a telescope pointed at his room so she can keep an eye on him all the time...


Shuusuke finds himself trapped in a love triangle with Nao and Iroha... but it's not going to end there. It looks like the class rep of Shuusuke's class, Mayuka Kondou is on her way to add even more trouble to this relationship!'

(Plot from Starchild)

Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne!! would be a 12-episode television anime series, which began airing in Japan from January 9, 2011. The opening theme is sang by Eri Kitamura while the ending theme <アリアリ未来> (Ari Ari Mirai) is sang by Kitamura, Marina Inoue and Kazusa Aranami.

I have not watched this anime yet but after reading the plot, I found it interesting and have decided to add it into my to-watch-list. ^^

Recieved my Kirino & Kuroneko A6 Ring Notebooks!

The postman knocked on the door very early in the morning today with my delivery. EMS is just simply awesome. Delivery time from Japan is just 2 working days! The price would be a bit higher than SAL of course. =x
More information of the notebooks here.

I just love the packaging! Product is well protected with layers of paper, not plastic bubble wrap. Good protection yet much environmentally friendly.
