  Here's something to try if you're bored -- just try not to get addicted in the process. You have been warned. If haven't gone off and started playing already, it's a Flash game I stumbled upon tonight called "Typing Mania 4". Now the only reason why it gets mentioned here is because it features a very nice assortment of anime songs, which will be the ONLY thing keeping you playing after awhile. For those of you with 100+ words-per-minute typing speeds, I wouldn't get overconfident too quickly because most of the lyrics are in romaji (ローマ字) and there are quite a few quirks (mentioned below). There are some English songs as well though, so give ELISA's "Euphoric field" from ef - a tale of memories. a try if you like. Each song is ranked with a "Typing Level" ranging from 0 to 99. If you want to experience some level 99 insanity right away, give Lucky Star's "Motekke! Sailor Fuku" 「もってけ���セーラーふく」 a go (pictured above). Even eufonius' "Reflectia" 「リフレクティア」 from true tears is pretty tough, and that's ONLY a level 9 song. With that said, you might want to start off with something reasonable like Nakajima Megumi's Aimo 「アイモ」 from Macross Frontier, so you don't end up hating the game right away. Most of the time, you'll probably be staring at your monitor in awe wondering how anyone's ever supposed to play this properly, but as with Rock Band, you just know there are people out there who will go to lengths to master this kind of stuff. Now if you're actually serious about doing well in this game, there are some things to keep in mind, especially if you're familiar with some Japanese: - The particle は has to be typed out as "ha" and not "wa", which is an accepted romanization of it. - The hiragana し and じ are "si" and "zi" respectively, rather than "shi" and "ji". - The hiragana つ is "tu" rather than "tsu". - None of the Japanese lyrics have spaces. - When spaces do appear, they're displayed as underscores, but you can use Space. - You do not need to capitalize English words. Let the madness (and frustration) begin!

figma Izumi Konata - Max FactoryCrap, i really forgot this one! I totally forgot that i ordered Konata in local store, when i said Chua Churam was the last haul for this mid year. I pre-ordered this figma Konata from local store, and got this one pretty slow indeed. The local store owner told me that figma Konata would arrive at around a week after Nanoha arrived, but the truth is, figma Konata arrived 2 weeks after that.figma Izumi Konata - Winter uniform version.This is the 4th figma i have, and i think this figma has a bigger scale of the character than the other figma. She really has a huge head here, and her body is actually the heaviest body of all figma i have. Despite the quality of the figma, i find that there are always problems found in each figma:- Haruhi : still no problem.- Nanoha : front hairs are loose, get off easily from the head.- Fate : very hard to insert left hand, high possibility to break.- Konata : front hair and face are loose, get off easily.It's pretty hard to overcome these problems, but they usually bug you when you're playing with them. As for me, i usually play with them once in every 2 weeks. Between this 2 weeks, i left them unchanged, just like normal fixed pose PVC figure.Inside the box of figma Konata.Talk about girls from Lucky Star, most of the time they wore their uniform, whether it's winter uniform or a summer uniform. Personally, i prefer their winter uniform rather than summer uniform. With that long sleeves and the color combination of red and white. Looks really good on them. How about you? Which uniform do you prefer?Choco cornet hands as an extra.While Haruhi came with extra pair of shoes, Nanoha with her Raging Heart Excellion, and Fate with her Bardiche Assault, this Konata came with extra pair of hands (normal figma has 5 pairs of hands) the choco cornet hands. I think choco cornet is the symbol of Konata, because the 1st long talk in 1st episode of Lucky Star is about choco cornet, and at the next episode she still ate choco cornet for lunch.Choco cornet is delicious, and so is she.So as a symbol of Konata goodness, i think I'll take a shot of Konata enjoying her choco cornet. Konata isn't my favorite character in Lucky Star, but i still find this figma Konata cute, especially with those faces. To add the fun, i also pre-ordered figma Kagami in the local store, and i think I'll get her in October (1 month++ for shipping).Konata x Haruhi is a brand new yuri pairing here.So before Kagami arrived, Haruhi and Konata will become a "good friends". Konata really happy as she met her idolized anime character, Suzumiya Haruhi. Sorry, but I won't put any yuri scene here.That's it for figma Konata, and this REALLY concludes the mid year figure haul, and this time I'm sure of it, because my next haul would be Blanc Neige (Kotobukiya) which is released in September. And also, i think I'm gonna do a photoshoot for Nanoha tomorrow, so as always, keep looking forward to it!

I must be one of the last people on the planet to watch this anime. Everyone has been talking about it for ages and ages, but I just shrugged it off and delved further into harem and romance. I knew all of the characters by name even without watching it, due to people talking about [...]
