In anticipation of Minamike Okaeri, I went off and got Minamike for a marathon. I was advised by other well-intended bloggers to avoid Minamike Okawari, so I decided to skip it. It turned out that Asread didn't do a very good job of Minamike Okawari. However, after having watched Minamike, and then jumping off to watching Minamike Okaeri, I realized that the differences in art style could not possibly go unnoticed, Minamike Okaeri was supposed to be made by the same people, why did it change so much?! Where did Doumu go?

The package has finally arrived. I have finally gotten my hands on the artbook of one of my most recent favorites, Shugo Chara. Mind you I have never bought an artbook before, so this is a first. You could say this is my hatsutaiken. Though I gladly did it for Amu-chan.

This season, Kyoto Animation is showing its latest series, Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai (The World Reflected in the Eyes of the Sky-gazing Girl), also popularly known as Munto TV. This series tells the story of a girl who kept looking at the sky because she saw what other people could not: another world, made of magical floating islands. The floating islands were constantly in a state of war with each other, but King Munto, the ruler of one of the islands, discovers the girl, and finally ends the conflict using her power. Interestingly, 7 years ago, KyoAni released 2 movies named Munto as well, which told the same story the TV series will tell.

Its 2009 today, so you could say I'm reporting from the future at the moment. Its pretty damn hot here, so we're feeling the effects of global warming. My horoscope says I'm in for a big year in 2009, and sure enough, when the clock struck 12, I felt all the motivation of my young days return to me at once. This is a new year, and the world has changed. Can't wait to live it up. 2009 HERE I COME

Lately mellow_bunny introduced me to a series called Bounen no Zamudo (Xam'd Lost Memories). Its a story set in a fantasy land inspired by the environment of wartime Japan in WWII. It is only currently watchable from the Playstation 3 Network, but you can also get it via black voodoo magic. Being a fantasy anime animated by Bones, the same people who did Fullmetal Alchemist, one can be sure this is no ordinary anime. The anime has been running up to about 20 episodes now, and has proven itself to be quite nice to watch. It has an intriguing storyline and very interesting character development.

A friend of mine recently got me a Kagamine Rin nendroid by Good Smile Company. And it was the awesomest present ever. Here's some pics of me opening up the box to reveal the awesome blonde on the inside. For those of you who do not know who Rin is, she is one of the mascot characters of a computerized singing program known as Vocaloid 2, and is one of the twins Kagamine Rin and Len. Together they both form the second package of voices for Vocaloid 2. The first one being Hatsune Miku.

I can't believe this one flew past my radar! After remembering (for whatever reason) a line in Renai Blogger where Hinano goes about wanting a certain manga of Shugo Chara, and after seeing a blog post on T.H.A.T. involving Ikuto from Shugo Chara, I felt that it was one of those shows that weren't hyped up a lot but were really good.

How right I was...
