[ Episode 37: The Bell of the Person Next Door ~Charity Bell~ ] A Daisya flashback episode? Okay…that was unexpected. There wasn’t anything particularly good or bad about it, though I did take notice that kid-Daisya looks a bit like Kiba from Naruto. The really interesting parts occurred at the very end of the episode with [...]

Liu Meifeng, the second installment in Goodsmile / Red Entertainment's Shuraki series of media mix figures, will be made available for preorder starting at 00:00 on July 20th (Tokyo standard time) according to the series' official site. Meifeng was designed by Kiba Satoshi, sculpted by Kawara Takayuki (Amiami search) and is voiced by Iizuka Mayumi on the accompanying drama CD; while the hype for her release hasn't reached the fever pitch that accompanied Mishiro Akatsuki's preorder blitz a month ago, odds are good that Meifeng will sell out in preorder relatively quickly so those interested should be on their toes. A list of participating vendors can be found here, including HLJ and Hobby Search. (no more)

Kiba, ep. 47: “The Wavering Savior” (Mayoeru Kyuuseishu) You can tell the series is coming to a close because this episode is a doozy! You’ll just say “wow” when you see the end. Anyway, Zed tries to stop Jeem and Lord “Doruga,” but honestly, can one man alone defeat all of Task? Summary [...]

I found this piece of Naruto promo art on LeafNinja and it is a post-timeskip Naruto sitting on a grown-up Gamakichi (reminds me of Kiba and Akamaru). This artwork is supposed to be a fold-out poster from the latest Jump issue so if it’s true then it will be nice to see Naruto summon the [...]

I can now exclusively reveal that the reason my blog is so HARD GAY is because I have Lui chained up in my basement.   As the days became depressingly short and winter tightened its grip upon the land, I had the great idea of summarising all the 2006 series I watched in one great ‘Annual Round-Up’; [...]

Unlike its more famous namesake, Stay Gold by Limelight is merely the third ending song for the strangely never-ending shounen series, Kiba. Speaking of which, there’s no actual Kiba (fang) in Kiba. Like most other mainstream shounen anime, Kiba borrows the songs of a lot of the more mainstream popular artistes. So far, all three endings [...]

Kiba, commercial 2 (actually, it’s the third one, but the first wasn’t that great) Here are clips from another cute Kiba card game commercial promoting the second set (click on images to enlarge… 12 in total): Random comments: I’ve been meaning to pick up a pack or two to check out the cards, but the places that [...]
