Lootings This Week

The postman kept coming to my house this week! Shana Max Factory was delivered today ^^. My first Shana Figurine has arrived!

Total here is around 230 SGD, approximately. Many thanks to my friend J.D for sponsoring, I mean selling the figurines to me(specially that Miku Hatsune Nendoroid!) Wuhahaha! I managed to grab the last Shana Max Factory figurine at Hobby Search. Yes very glad I got her since I missed the preorder for her last year! T_T.

Will be doing a Figma Fate review soon. Stay tuned! ^^

Macross Frontier – Episode 20

Episode 20 has alot of tears…. Ranka cries… little children cry…. Klan Cries… Even I cried. Perhaps the most chaotic and emotional episode of the series thus far.
Rating: 9.5/10

The episode starts where the left one left off. As we learned in the last minute or so of the last one that little green “Ai-kun” of Ranka’s is actually a baby Vajra. It went into hiding in the colony and let out hundreds and hundreds of phase two Vajra spawn that go causing mass destruction and killing everyone. At the same …

Itazura na Kiss – Episode 20

Each episode is getting better, makes me wish that this anime would have at least 20 more episodes before it ends. Sure Irie can be a total ass at times, but I believe it’s the actions that he takes suddenly that truly shows his love for Kotoko. At times, I just want to smash his head into the wall. But at the end of each episode(so far) I am always smiling ! Love Irie x Kotoko!
Rating: 9.5/10

Within the same episode, Kotoko has graduated. She is working at a …

[PSP Review] Crazy Taxi: Double Punch

I realised I didn’t post a game review, and the last game I played on my PSP was Crazy Taxi: Double Punch. The Crazy Taxi: Fare wars made its way to Japan. It also got named to Crazy Taxi: Double Punch and was released on the 12 of August 2008. Surely the change of name has no hidden meaning? x)

So I spent a few hours at the game. The menu in the game is based in Japanese, so one may need some knowledge of Japanese to choose the right options, …

Breakfast in Japan

A very detailed report about Japanese people having what for breakfast, whether they eat breakfast everyday, has been posted up on What Japan Thinks.

I eat my breakfast everyday, and that is probably the reason why I am so healthy =X. I have a glass of milk after my breakfast and I head off for my lessons ^^. But I believe many of my friends do not have their breakfast!

They carried out a survey over 3 months, and the scale size was 7,965.
52.7% of the sample were female, 1.0% in their …

1/8 Ryuna

This was probably out for preorder some time ago, but she caught my eye while I was browsing through Ami Ami^^

Kotobukiya is releasing a scaled 1/8 Ryuna from Shining Wind. She will be out in December at a retail price of 6,090 yen.
From what I know she is a character from the PS2 game – Shining Wind. Now I have never played that game before, but this is something worth to consider! She looks absolutely gorgeous.

Japan Net Cafe – Only 1,000 Yen a Night

This is a picture of a single room room at a net cafe in Japan. For just 1,000 yen you can stay at such a place. Sounds fairly interesting, I won’t mind having a go at such a place. The internet is just what I need to last me through the night! ^^
