Many nendoroid goodies expected in 2008/2009.. Only a few more months to 2009, and we have so many nendoroids for preorders. ><
First off, yet to be announced for preorders:

Kaito from Vocaloid Series. Oh yeah – A guy for me to buy XD!

Petit Nendoroids from NDS Game Cross Venus. From left to right: Shana, Kino, Taiga and Index.

Expect another Strike Witches nendoroid. Yeah it’s Francesca Lucchini.

Nendoroid Nozomu Itoshiki from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Guys can have nendoroids treatment too.

As seen in my Hobby Japan review, Nendoroid Pixel Mari-tan. Scheduled for March 2009 …

According to Soshi via SP Lifearts, AFA08 has another exciting event planned. Arcade gaming anyone? There will be a competition held during the two days of AFA08 in November. Games expected will be Street Fighter IV, King of Fighters ‘98, Tekken 6. I’m not really into gaming – my choices of games are limited to anime games, like Gundam Seed fighting, Final Fantasy, etc.
Well, but still, this competition should be worth checking out during AFA08.
If you’re still thinking what is AFA08? AFA08 stands for Anime Festival Asia 2008. Check …

Becky sensei will apparently be back in one extra episode that was announced to be released with Pani Poni Dash boxset in March 2009. I personally loved Pani Poni dash in all its brain melting glory, so I am definitely looking forward to it!
For those of you who don’t know what Pani Poni Dash is… its feels 99% the same to Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei if you replaced a Suicidal teacher with a Loli teacher. The both have the same dark humor and Japanese Pop Culture references. The only big …

Tickets are now opened for registration. You can register a ticket for yourself to head to AFA this November. This is done so that entrance to the convention would be done quickly and smoothly since the AFA would be a BIG event. Seriously, BIG. But I’m kinda disappointed. I thought that there would be a chance for us to buy the tickets online and get em delivered directly. I believed this would urge people to buy the 2 days ticket instead of just going down for 1 day XD.

Meh, but …

September 26 2008 – Strike Witches First Volume DVD of the anime was released for sales. It was a mashing success because sales reports have reported up to 10,961 copies sold in Japan. Strike Witches is said to be the first anime produced by GONZO to ever sell 10,000 copies of a single volume.

And who says piracy is wrong? In addition to this, GONZO has taken another step in order to acquire more sales for Strike Witches, Blassreiter and The Tower of Druga: the Aegis of Uruk. Streaming videos would …

In my travels of ANN this morning I came across a link to a new streaming commercial for Seto no Hanayome OVA. It is the first of those two videos on that page… all I can say is while its a shame its so tiny I definitely see a live action Masa at the bottom narrating xD (he’s so smexy right?)
Also while randomly browsing that site I found a preview of a Edomae Runa Nendoroid!

Lol… isn’t she… cute o.o?
Likewise, the petit Runa Nendoroid would be released together with …

I’ve been waiting for seems like an eternity for the fourth and fifth Kara no Kyoukai movie to be released. For those of you who don’t know what this series is… just try imagining Fate Stay/Night (its type moon) as a horror anime.  Lots of blood, and fighting. Amazing animation, and the music is by Yuki Kajiura who in my opinion is the god of anime musicxD!!!
Here was the opening to the very first movie for a sample of the music=3

The release dates are:

Kara no Kyoukai 4: Garan no Dou- …

Old news, but a second season has finally been announced for Spice and Wolf. This was kind of expected since they didn’t reach their destination in season onexD, but still a nice surprise. While people have mixed feelings about this show (1/2 thinks its boredom to the point of tears, and the other just like wolf girls) I personally really enjoyed this series. Its a change from my usual diet of comedy and action genres; very mellow.
Short summary of the series: A merchant teams up with a wolf goddess of …
