Because it was requested ;).
This month’s crop of poster is pretty good, if only just for this one :).
To be honest, I’m actually abstaining from Megami lately, to reduce and avoid the temptation of spending. Evangelion 1.01 LE DVD and Makoto Shinkai artbook is killing me. BTW, any local readers (read: Malaysia) wants to order the Makoto Shinkai artbook can contact me, so that we can share out the (crazy high) shipment fees :).
Right. I just found out about it. And it was released around the same time as the Eva 1.01 LE DVD. Goddamnit, if I knew about it, I would’ve ordered them together! ORZ ORZ ORZ.
Anyways, now on the way to secure a copy, even though I’m really, REALLY out of money already. Amazon.jp seems to still stock it, but the shipping estimate says “…in 3-5 weeks.” Still awaiting a reply from the local Kino. I do hope they *might* carry it.
(Psst… anyone knows any good loan sharks willing to lend me 100-200 ringgit for a month or so?)
Addendum: Anyone local (read: KL and it’s surroundings) want to order this artbook as well? Need to share the shipping to make it worthwhile.
Seeing this poster over at Heisei Democracy’s post, this really cements Alto’s androgyny. I remember the last time a male character (technically) was in Megami was OtoBoku’s Mizuho, and we all know what that did to us…
I wonder if Alto-hime is going to tsun-tsun over it or dere-dere over it. Either way, he loves it, I guess.
On a side note, Diamond Crevasse’s single got leaked. Gabriela Robin.com is such cocktease by putting up the samples. Already procured 「射手座☆午後九時 Don’t be late」, now looking for 「ダイアモンド クレバス」.
Finally got my hands on my order of Evangelion 1.01. Amazon.jp is impressive. Ordered placed on Saturday, processed on Sunday, delivered on Monday morning, arrived at Tuesday evening. That’s what you call service, eh. But I must say, for the 1,700 yen I paid for the shipping, they could’ve used a much more better packaging. I was surprised at looking at thin boxpack(or whatever it’s called) used for the DVD. I was expecting a box, heh.
From Anime News Network:
The Japanese technology news source ITmedia reports that five companies will launch ai space, a 3D virtual world where users can interact with bishōjo game heroines from Clannad, Shuffle!, and D.C. II: Da Capo II, this summer. Headlock (Detective Evangelion, Neon Genesis Evangelion Battle Orchestra) is developing the world which will have characters from the game developers Visual Art’s (Clannad), Omegavision (Shuffle!), and CIRCUS (D.C. II: Da Capo II). The Dwango online service provider will support the service’s infrastructure. Each game franchise will be recreated on its own virtual island.
Each users will be able to create his (or her) own avatar as well as select one bishōjo character as a personal character doll (”chara-doll”). The avatar and the chara-doll can then live together on one of the islands — complete with a house and furniture that they can buy. The chara-doll will be able to wear different costumes (based on in-game items), memorize various motions to act out, and dance. The developers claim that each chara-doll can develop a unique personality for each user.
The different islands will be connected by a tentatively titled “Akihabara Island,” where the different avatar/chara-doll pairs can gather for chatting and events. Dwango’s Niwango subsidiary plans to incorporate the Nico Nico Anime Channel from the Nico Nico Douga online video service (which boasts over 6 million users) into the virtual world. On the real-world Nico Nico Douga site, the companies have posted a teaser video that was presented at the last Winter Comic Market convention. The singer KOTOKO (Shakugan no Shana, Please Teacher!) will perform the first theme song.

It’s like Second Life, only with Kyou, Kaede and Nanaka. Oh god… I am “tempted” to join in. But something in me tells me that I will be really, really sad person if I do so.
Finished Kane’s Wrath. God damn, I really lose myself when I play all this games. Stupid Nod missions throw tons of surprises at you.
Especially hate the Temple Prime mission, because I wasted time building up my initial base, only to be stolen by AI and forced to go commando. Not to mention the game crashed at the mission completion. Then the final Nod mission was WTF too, because there’s only 6 mins to capture the final mission objective… but a MARV and a whole fucking base to take out before that…. 2 hours of base building gone down the drain. DAMN YOU EA. Not to mention the stupid Nod campaign ended with more cliffhangers, yet again. Someone, really, please kill EA’s story writers.
On the plus side, it’s pretty fun to play Nod now, and I’m pretty particular to the Black Hand faction. PuriFIRErs are fucking awesome when upgraded. It’s truly a sight to see when a group of 10 Purifiers march in to a fully garrisoned city, and clean it all out in under 3 minutes, with only 2-3 casualties. Flame on, baybeh.
Nod’s new artillery rocks too, and it works way better than Beam Cannons. The new upgrades are fun too, especially Particle beam upgrades. They make base defending really cheap, using Shredder walls. Hell, they work even better than PEW PEW PEW LAZERS.
Haven’t tried the GDI or Scrin factions yet… maybe tomorrow. Also need to try out the Global Conquest mode.
And before I forget, it’s Ayako Kawasumi and Megumi Hayashibara’s birthday today (totally forgot the day, lol). I wish them both another wonderful year (and more roles too).
Wow, I don’t know what to say. Either life is seriously imitating art or someone’s been watching too much anime and has nothing better to do in their free time. I love how they actually printed out both perspectives of the problem as well.
Sorry for the hasty cut and paste. Don’t know how to actually combine both the top and bottom properly.
LOL. I totally missed this, even when I had the hard copy right under my nose. I can’t believe I only knew about this from a Singaporean (for the record, you guys are the most self-centered cold bastards in the world).
Suddenly, I feel like following back Aunt Thelma’s column. I used to read it regularly… but it got too repetitive. I just gotta love “her” answer. “Put it on Youtube!” LOL.
おたんじょうびおめでとう,のとさま！Happy Birthday, Noto-sama!
Yes, today’s the birthday of Noto-sama, my favourite seiyuu, just 5 days after mine, heh. Isn’t she cute there, with the dangos, XD.
Here’s to hoping for another glorious year with her :).
