Kurogane’s Anime Blog

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.

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.

It seems to apply to me. A lot.

I just went through what possibly could be one of the most interesting days of my life. Ever.

First, the good news. I have finally achieved one of my otaku objectives, which is owning Kotobukiya’s Gothloli Asuka, thanks to Stripey-dono. I owe you an eternal debt of gratitude, my fellow brother-in-interests :).

Then, at night, I’m trying to install another HDD in to my PC, to fit in my ever-burgeoning collection of data, when somehow, I manage to fry my music HDD. OTL. 200GB of anison, gone. Just like that. Also fried another HDD, empty this time, to replace it. OTL, again. Not to mention, my newly bought VGA cooler wouldn’t fit on my video card thanks to two stupidly placed capacitors.

I’m surprised I’m still keeping my sanity. Wonderful day it has been, no?

Megami 90

Comp H 06

(More nicer pics of the posters can be found on HD’s coverage of Megami 90 and Comp H 06 respectively)

Whee, more offerings for the otakus this month. Comp H is slowly growing in to another magazine that I must buy each month (bye bye money T_T). My picks this month:

• Comp H’s Hanyuu and Rika
• Comp H’s nekomimi Louise
• Moar Kagamin goodness from both mags
• Megami’s nekomimi San-sama
• Megami’s Onegai Twins poster (who is that silver-haired girl, really!)

Well, till next month then. With the Fall shows in full swing, we should expect even more variety from both mags.

The picture just explains itself.

So, my readers, would you buy this if it actually got released?

キタ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━ !!!!!

Arrived earlier this week, but wasn’t around to get it. Now I can finally make a “merchandise show-off” post, hahahaha!

The version I ordered is the Limited Edition one, and all in all it cost me almost 7000 yen, which equates to around RM200 locally. My father was definitely not very pleased about it… but oh well, I’ve done my part to support the industry!
