By artist Bakutendou (爆天童) of the likewise named circle, ‘Acperience 07 Tehepero’ is a full color illustration book released at Comiket 76. Ran into this “K-ON!” doujin by chance, hadn’t noticed it before so never looked out for it during my search for C76 books. A shame I didn’t get it as it’s a terrific visual [...]

[Posted @ 12:12 AM]Wheee~ I'm free from H1N1 virus =D MY MARIMITE DVDs ARE HERE~! =DAlong with Bakuretsu Tenshi Manga #2, #3 [END], Venus Versus Virus #6, Suzunari #2, Hayate x Blade #2, #3 and Tetragrammaton Labryinth #5. I love July lol. I have another parcel from Amazon Japan =O which will come coming perhaps next week? \O/July is Durian Season! I've yet to eat one though lol.Taken from the durian tree at my place xD. Oh yeah, I just remembered the purpose of this post lol, here's the MF download link for the Doropanda Tours scans as requested =D. I've asked Kai and Kite in Tranquil Spring to translate and edit the one-shot page for me [Scans 1 - Left] I'll post up the translated page soon. The rest are author's comments and stuff, well if you're interested in translating it, feel free. They are all just one page specials or brochures, there ain't anymore so don't ask for moar lol. Random rants;My Seagate of 3 years died on me ;_; I was being whiny on Skype and all lol but today I managed to pull all of my anime folders out along with my Stefanie Sun clips I've dutifully collected for 9 years =D out.Oh how did I revived my 'dead hdd'? I froze it. Yes, I sealed the HDD in a plastic bag, placed it in the freezer and waited for 2-3 hours. At first, it wasn't working well and I was getting really pissed. So I left it to 'dry' [After several attempts to get it to work] and then I put it in the freezer for 2 hours and it worked! [I even dreamed that I was clicking and dragging my files out lol] Well it worked for a mere 10 minutes before it died again. So I let it out to dry again [Condensation] and then shoved it in the freezer for another 3-4 hours. It was then that I managed to copy all my anime folders out [I saved my Stefanie Sun clips first lol], half of my movie folders, manga and live-action drama clips. I think it lasted around 2 hours [The HDD was getting hot as well, it clicked loudly a few times in between] before the light went out. It was good though =D A whooping 300GB+ worth of data out lol. Anyways, got me a new HDD, 1TB this time muahahaha and it's only S$159~~~ This will last me for a few more years. Moral of the story? BACK UP YOUR GOD DAMN FILES lol.[Signing off @ 1:49 AM]

Amiami's evening update tonight included a couple of figures we've reported on here in past weeks: Daiki Kougyou's Sei PVC bust from Bakuretsu Tenshi and Movic's Hankyuu Ibuki from Asu no Yoichi!. Tackling Ibuki first: we reported on her preorder listing at Movic back on May 13th, and it wouldn't bear repeating here but for the revelation of a surprise upper castoff (images below). As previously reported her sculpt is from Saitou Heel and she's set for release in August at.... Movic says 1/8 scale and 19 cm, Amiami says 1/7 scale and 21 cm. Both report a retail price of 5,880 yen. Daiki's Sei bust was also the subject of earlier reporting when her official page went online, and details on this release have changed as well. The sculpt is still credited to Shiragami Takayuki (Yukishiro) and she's still scheduled for release in October at 28 cm tall; the retail price however has been lowered from the initially reported 11,550 yen to 9,975 yen. That doesn't happen too often... Pictures of both figures can be found below:

Figure maker Daiki Kougyou updated their official site this evening with a listing for an extraordinary Sei PVC figure from Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel). This PVC conversion continues Daiki's tradition of adapting epic kits that turned a lot of heads on the garage kit circuit, with Sei coming from veteran sculptor Shiragami Takayuki (Yukishiro) who debuted the kit in 2007 (see below for our shots from WF07 summer). Daiki's PVC version is scheduled to retail in early October at 11,550 yen, 28 cm tall (scale unspecified) and completely pre-painted and assembled. Preorders were momentarily open at Daiki but seem to have closed for now; we'll be watching closely for further preorder info that should be coming soon. Figure images below:
