Busou Renkin

Busou Renkin
Episodes: 26
Genres: Shounen, Supernatural, Action
Aired: Oct 5, 2006 to Mar 29, 2007
Producer: Geneon
Originally someone recommended that I watch this series when they discovered that I’m a huge fan of Rurouni Kenshin. Busou Renkin was made by the same author. In the last three years since its been recommended I’ve lost it once when my external hardrive died, and another time when my computer required to be restored. I decided I needed to finally sit down and watch this series before something else catastrophic happened.
The basic plot is …

Sketches of Seiyuu Living Quarters

Ever wonder how the room of a seiyuu looks like? Found a few sketches from Kotaku which made me LOL like mad when I was reading the post.

Yu Kobayashi, is an extremely pretty seiyuu, but her drawing is horrible. Previously she drew a picture of Polla, the character she voiced from Wii role-playing-game Arc Rise Fantasia. This is how Polla looks like:

And this is how Kobayashi drew Polla:

What are those red lines?! They look like blood but I have a feeling it’s her outfit… LOL.

The sketch above is not drawn …

I finished Chaos;Head this year, like a few months ago, can’t say I am a big fan of Seira to actually want to buy her -maybe the otaku guy in the anime, Takumi …

Microsoft Denies Slim 360 Rumors

With the PS3 Slim hitting stores next week with a price of 299 dollars, the next rumor is – Slim 360 too?

Despite being Microsoft’s current top selling model, production of the the Xbox 360 Pro has already stopped, Aaron Greenberg, director of product management for xbox 360, said.
The 120GB Xbox 360 Elite will sell for $299.99, while the popular 60GB Xbox 360 Pro will be cut to $249.99.
Yes that’s right, like I announced a few days ago, there is going to be a price drop of the Xbox 360.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st Tapestry

Another tapestry that I am tempted to buy – Nanoha the Movie 1st Tapestry, and Fate is huge in the tapestry (Self-poison ~_~)
Dimensions of the tapestry are: 68 x 103cm.

Retail price is at  5,000 yen, out this October. Preorder at HobbyLink Japan or Hobby Search.
Tempting.. I missed my local shop which was selling this tapestry(due to my cough and I had to stay home). I heard that the Nanoha goodies were sold out quickly that day, got a feeling that the tapestry is one of them too >_>. The plus …

Stone Gundam Statue

Not as huge as the 1/1 scale Gundam, but this Gundam Statue weight is extremely heavy for its size! It’s at a height of 4 meters and has a weight of 10 tons.

It was created about 2 years ago by the owner of a stone sculpting business and has become a local landmark.
Folks who are in Japan may want to consider going to the city of Yasu in Saga Prefecture to view the Stone Gundam Statue yourself! Awesome, if you miss the 1/1 scale Gundam in Japan this year, …

Gundam Wedding Ceremony

Finally managed to visit Shibuya246’s site for coverage of the Gundam Wedding!

The wedding was held on 25 August 2009.

The couple was chosen out of over 500 entries by T&G wedding planners.
Both Bride and Groom have been married previously. They said that Gundam had been a great influence on them and had brought their family close together. When their new born daughter was born six months they named her Seira from the Gundam series.

Do check out more pictures of the ceremony over at Shibuya246!
I like the fact that the groom actually …

Miku Plushies

Originally exclusives at Comiket 76(and sold out too >_>), Miku plushie can be yours today!

Retail price of each plushie is at 3,675 yen.
Unfortunately by the time I decided to post this up, Hobby Search reservations have closed o.o Your best bet is to stalk there daily until someone cancel her. HLJ has stopped taking orders too ><.
The plushies are cute, I wouldn’t mind getting others, like a Shana one or something XD.
