20,000 Evangelion Phones Sold Out

In barely 5 hours, 20,000 Evangelion mobile phones which have been put up for preorders, have all been sold out. The true power of otakus. Or more likely, otaku-must-have-exclusives?

The NTT docomo shops of telecommunications provider NTT began taking pre-orders for Sharp’s SH-06A NERV phone for 90,000 yen (about US$900) on Friday at 10:00 a.m.
A mobile phone cost 90,000 yen and 20,000 of them were sold out during preorders within 5 hours?! Omg. I don’t see this happening in Singapore at all >_>. Our “exclusive” phone designs don’t even go till …

PS3 Returns in My Life

And so, I thought I finally stopped playing PS3 like mad – since I didn’t have much games left. I completed Resident Evil 5 and Little Big Planet (Completed the trophies too). So you could say I have no more “goals” to achieve in the two games. Lol.
Yesterday I bought a new game. Don’t know what came over me. It’s inFamous :D

I have yet to open the game to play.. Because my friend passed me 2 of his games to play. Now I have games to play, and too little …

Murasama The Demon Blade

With all the anticipation for new announcements at E3 I nearly forgot to check about updates on games I already know about, like the beautiful Murasama the Demon Blade for the Wii which is expected to be released in the US this September (Just in time for my Birthday! =D).
You can control either the young princess Momohime or the young ninja Kisuke journeying across Japan beating the crap out of armies and demons based on Japanese mythology.  Disregarding the plot the artwork for the game is AMAZING, and the fighting …

1/8 Kanzaki Kaori Chara-Ani Version

Sorry for the slow updates, I have been busy. I swear. Lol.
Kanzaki Kaori from A Certain Magical Index, Chara-Ani version of scale 1/8 is up for preorders. I didn’t order the one by Kotobukiya. This one doesn’t look so bad. But to me her face seems off. Or is it due to the lighting?

Retail price is at 6,980 yen. She will be released in September 2009. Preorder her at Hobby Search =3.

I wonder whether that is the official base they will release her with? I love Kanzaki Kaori.. But why …

According to the newest issue of Weekly Shounen Magazine, a new series of the manga Great Teacher Onizuka is underway under the the name GTO: Shonan 14 Days.
