TV Update, More Random Pics

Some pics of the new TV, mainly its amazing picture and amazing ability to make anime look 1000% more awesome:


Courtesy of Evangelion ep 2.
My Negima Figumate collection. The ones in the swimsuits are a Dragoncube Special Edition, and I've only ever seen them for sale once. And I bought them! ^^
This corner has changed since I took this picture, another corkboard and pretty much everything has moved. Note the really awesome Bleach poster on the right. It's part of the 2008 Jump calendar, I chopped it up into 6 or 8 posters. ^^; Who likes calendars anyway?

The Giant TV Cometh



So I got a giant 40" Samsung flat-panel HD LCD TV yesterday, and now my living space's, er space, is even more at a premium than it was before.

Started putting stuff on the ceiling due to space constrictions on the walls.
Even the ぬいぐるみ have felt the crunch.... =P
Keroro heads hanging above. They look pretty cool swaying in the breeze. In case you're curious, they were capsules for figures, and the coolest capsules I've ever seen at that.
All of these pens smell like something, cept for the bottom one. From the top, scents include: Ramune, Cola, Orange, Animal Biscuit (which is especially sweet), and finally Curry. Yes, a Chicken Curry scented marker. And it never fails to make my hungry. ^^;

New Digicam, Time to Take Tons of Stupid Pics!

Almost a year to the day, I get a new digicam and my blog is revived! I got a brand new Casio Exilim EX-S10 today, and it is quite a hot little package. 10 megapixels, face recognition, lots of different pre-made shot designations, all in all good stuff. Anyway, here comes the eye candy with captions: ^^;
Hidamari no Tami-type toys, their heads bob back and forth when light/the sun hits them ^^.
SD Kakashi, prepare for a pattern here....
Sengoku Basara 2 keychains on the left and Bomberman greatness on the right.
Here we have SD Ed and Al and SD Riza Hawkeye and Roy Mustang.
....and SD Light Yagami, Ryuk, Kenshin and Sanosuke
Yes, I am just that obsessed that I love the packaging of certain Japanese products so much that I put them on my wall. In this case the item in question is Bakery Flat Style Pretz (pronounced 'pritz') that actually tastes like a BLT, it's kinda crazy. The last time my cousin was in Japan she ate Pizza Pretz so much that her friend told her she started to smell like pizza.

The グレンラガン"card" game box. Card in quotes because it uses figures and cards. I just find this one aesthetically pleasing ^^;.
Sakura-flavored Kit Kat, yum! That package is awesome, sakura is and has always been one of my favorite images. On a side note it actually tastes kind of like banana, and my friend Laura seems to think coconut too.
The best thing ever, and I ended up only getting one bag. コパン(Copan) Maple Sugar flavor, and it's soooo good. It tastes like gourmet Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
My metallic Shakugan no Shana poster. The sword is supposed to be silver and glowy, but at this angle it looks kind of green.

I promised an update, and an update is whatcha got. First on the block is an awesome エヴァンゲレオン ラメン bowl, that, when you get to the bottom it says: "Visual Confirmation of the Bottom Obtained. Meal Complete." Then we have a Gintama Yunomi cup and Tsukimi (moon viewing) Sake set. And barely visible to the left a D. Gray Man tall, slender glass. Man, I love anime tableware, I love anything that takes something practical and makes it fun (even though I never use them, lol). Anyway, enjoy!

食ううううう作戦完了!

銀魂 totally rocks, and is perfect for marketing apparently.


You can barely see the image on the D. Gray Man glass, and also white on sakura color for the Gintama set is also not readily visible -_-; but I assure you they're both awesome! (Closeups to come when I get a better digicam, soon, sooooooon....)

I have a ton of crap I have to post yet, I haven't really felt like posting lately, I know hardly anyone reads this at this stage and everytime I take pictures I'm reminded that I need to buy a new digital camera very, very badly. Here are a few from a few weeks back when I got a set of toy boozes, called みんなでカンパイ!Notice Captain Afro on the ripoff of KFC, it took me forever to realize that it could be interpreted as a racist thing, black guy, fried chicken mascot, huh? Huh? I especially love the Lucha Libre beer Corona ripoff, with the masked wrestler logo (my crappy digicam doesn't do details that well -_-;). I got more swag from Animaxis this week, including Light and L dolls from Death Note that are just awesome, 灼眼のシャナ メロンパン pillow, a huge エヴァンゲレオンラメン bowl, a D. Gray Man etched glass, er, glass, and 銀魂ゆのみ&月見セット。I love how it's Shonen Jump, but they sell sake sets, a glass that looks like it's for a fuzzy navel and the existing D. Gray Man glass that I have that looks like it's for a highball. Even though I love Gintama and D. Gray Man a lot more than Eva (which I also love, to be fair), the ramen bowl has to be the coolest thing I've gotten in a long time. I honestly thought that I'd never see one for sale, as I saw them someplace else and they were sold out for a long time even then. So I can only assume that they made another production run of these, or that there was a box of them sitting somewhere that Animaxis forgot about em =P. I'll post piccys of these soon, but I'm tired now, so another day for sure.


Lotsa toy booze, some pizza, snacks, etc. From the picture they're not terribly impressive, but up close they're really neat.

Megafry Chicken, with Captain Afro mascot.

All assembled, with the Luchadore beer ^^;

Megafry and Lucha Libre cerveza, deconstructed.
napaJapan - candy, bento and more!
