Yakiniku Party Toy

Bandai and MegaHouse has come up with a new party toy for Yakiniku lovers (Korean BBQ)

This new toy will let you have the same experience at home – minus the chewing and hunger satisfaction of course.

No idea how you can actually check whether the food is “grilled” but I suppose I can let my imagination run …

Canaan- Episode 1

Canaan is based of a video game named 428: Fūsasareta Shibuya de, and Is created by type-moon who made the popular series Fate/Stay Night, and ongoing movie series Kara no Kyoukai.  After only the opening I was very impressed by the animation. The first episode throws your right in the middle of a chaotic battle between unknown forces in the middle of Shanhai during a huge festival. It is very fast paced and introduces alot of characters and special matrix like powers so fast I’m not 100% sure if I …
