Well, certainly that title will garner some interest BWAHAHA! I’ve named it as such, because there is lack of normal news and a FUCKTON of things that will interest the more hardcore among the readership. Yeah, it’s all event coverage and articles about porno for me! But seriously, remember that upgrade to ikiKOYOMI that I promised? Well, it’s in. Yes, now you can add events yourself. You need to be logged in for that link to work. So yeah. Also, if you had problems signing in to ikiKOYOMI, that’s fixed now. Fucking WordPress upgrade borked my shit. So just sign out and back in. Sorry for the problems there. I will do a slightly longer post about it later, along with some other stuff.
Anime/Manga/Games
- It was Toro-kun’s birthday this weekend. If you don’t know who Toro-kun is, then you’re dead to me. That cake looks damn good.
- Don’t like Lucky*Star? Well too bad! It’s all over Akiba. Muuuuu~
- I am sort of enjoying Kagetora. Certainly Segami Akira is a passionate guy. This time, he will be extolling his love for figure-skating in a little ditty he calls Kisu*Kura in Weekly Shounen Magazine.
- The names for the Evangelion movie remakes were announce. It’s got all sorts of symbolism. I will not be talking about it any further to save on ranting energy, in case I need it later.
- Choo-tan shows us what he does on the weekends. DONMAI!
- And since I know there are some music fags in the audience, I know you will all appreciate KOF 2000′s article on M3.
- And speaking of fags, Shipon went to Comic1. Oh, and he took some pictures at Chuo-Dori to show us all how many guys can possibly swarm around a patently unattractive girl in a Neon Genesis get up. I still love you, Shipon.
- Lastly, moetron has some info on Touhou 10. If that means nothing to you, then I wouldn’t worry about it.
Figures
- Well, let’s do the real figures first. Any dripping vaginas in here when I mention Cloud? Thought so. How about a 1/4 scale figure of him in real clothes? Better start saving. You have until September to amass the 49,350 yen that he will cost you.
- I am sick of this pink coloring on Ikkitousen figures. Here is a shitty Kan-U in pink. I didn’t even open this to see the price. Yech. It’s over 20,000 yen though, since it’s 1/5 scale resin.
- And to cover the other two, these things look cute and Astroboy does not. Sorry freaky Astroboy.
- Moving on to the real important shit. WHF was this weekend. As such a few places threw together some coverage. Some people with more time on their hands will be able to link all the non-English sites. But they will be redundant.
- Anyway, D-bo did a good job snapping shots… and censoring them.
- Shingo also made a showing at the event. It’s nice to see him out and about. And since he is a TRUE FAN (take that D-bo) he didn’t censor the images and make doves cry. All hail perverts!
- Speaking of Choo-tan, though, he took some pictures of that LUCIOUS Kureha figure. If you were on the fence about her, you NEED to see these. Oh man, wonderful. WONDERFUL!
- Oh, and if you are into that Plain Clothes Masane, check the HD review. Man, those guys were busy. Mine is in the mail. I am stoked.
The Kureha figure is gorgeous – looks better than the original illustration.
I KNOW! Buy me one. :D I KNOW YOU HAVE THE MONEY! I’VE SEEN YOUR PAYCHEQUES! (Don’t ask how. I am CONNECTED! OH YEAH!)
