Today I bring you a White Limited Edition. More Poison! A scale of 1/7 Kanu Unchou from Ikkitousen: Great Guardians! Figurine is released by New Line.

A new slice of life comedy this fall – this was one of the first few shows I caught since fall season started.
Four girls lost their way in school. The only way to navigate themselves was to walk ahead. So whatever obstacle that was in their way, they’ll simply knock it down. Having said so, a window was there. Yeah so you can guess what happened. A passerby witness this – who got assaulted. Yes, the guy who got attacked was their teacher.

OP and ED weren’t interesting at all. In …

The exchange rate was horrible to the extent that my shipment for online purchases ended up …

Things take another turn when Ryuuji returned to the classroom to retrieve his bag, only to find that the tables and chairs have been knocked down. Suddenly the cupboard slams open and out pops Taiga cuddling herself. One would wonder what she …

When I read the Fall 08 Preview list, I had decided that To Aru Majutsu no Index was the 1st new show on my To-Watch list, alongside Sequels such as Gundam 00 S2 and Rosario+Vampire Capu2. When the show did become subbed thanks to Eclipse and m33w, I was really pleased that I was gonna be able to watch it. To help those who are on the fence on whether or not to pick up this show, here are a few words to sum this show up.
