End of the Month Updates Dec ‘09

December has been pretty eventful with Christmas and what-not. Not much has happened other than that to be honest. I got a few things for Christmas, but that’s because I only asked for money this year. I wanted money to spend at Anime Detour which is this spring. Next month J-Term starts so I’m excited for that, but I wish I could have taken it off this year. On a completely different subject I started my collection of Touhou songs again.

In figure news I ordered Set 1 of the Bakemonogatari Petite Nendoroids which I posted about in my last post. My Black Rock Shooter figure by Good Smile Company is on her way right now and I can’t wait to get her~ Next month I should be getting two (!) Marisa figures. I’m very excited about that. I would like to preorder the Eirin Yagokoro figure by Griffon Enterpirses which will come out in April. It’s a very nice figure from what I have seen and after seeing how nice my Marisa Kirisame figure from the same company turned out I’m sure this one will be of good quality as well. I’ll have to save up for her though…

And that’s it for this month. I might make a little post about what I got for Christmas later, but I’m not promising anything (since I’m really lazy orz)

So how was everyone’s holidays? What do you guys plan on doing for New Years?

I completely gave in

As the title says I gave in and ordered the Bakemonogatari Petite Nendoroid Set 1. They’re just too cute to pass up. I don’t own any Petite Nendos, but I’m happy to start my collection with these. I’ve been trying to keep away from the figure scene and save some money up, but since I already knew about these I couldn’t resist. I absolutely love Hitagi and Araragi, but Hanekawa isn’t so bad either. I’m going to try to get all the sets if I can~. Anyone else want to/have/going to order this set?

End of the Month Update Nov’09

Yet another month is coming to an end, but this one is a little different. Yes it’s that time of year the Winter Holidays! Honestly I don’t know anything about any other winter holiday other than Christmas. I say Winter Holidays though because I’m sure what everyone celebrates so I hope I don’t offend anyone when I use it.

Aside from getting the flu nothing really happened to me this month. The only thing that did happen was that Riannon had been shipped and arrived the first of November. I fully admit that she is the cutest Nendo I own and I take back what I said before, I  am very happy to have ordered her! What I love to do is put her faces on Rin. So adorable~

And so going back to the first paragraph; What do you guys celebrate this time of year? Anything in particular you love about it?

End of Month Updates

Well the month of October is just about over (only a week to go). I’ll just be going over some things that happened during this month. Some can take that as a ‘boring post’ warning. Overall I’d have to say that this month was average. Not much happened, but it wasn’t completely boring.

This month I made two new preorders. The first has already been posted about in the blog, but I’ll say it again anyway. That figure would be the adorable Marisa Kirisame Nendoroid. I’ve had her targeted since she showed up during summer. The second I made yesterday and didn’t get a chance to post about yet. That would be the gorgeous Hayakawa Yuzuko figure. The days before I finally preordered her I was pondering heavily on whether I should or not because not only the price, but the fact that the wrecking ball may be only half. Well you already know how that decision turned out though.

During this month the Black Rock Shooter PILOT EDITION DVD I ordered arrived. I’m very much looking forward to the anime series next year. I’ll admit though that I’m sad that there wasn’t a little more to actual DVD though (Some kind of commentary or someone talking about the story/art). But I’m still a proud owner of it. That would be the only thing to arrive though since I put my Riannon Nendo to ship with the BRS before she got delayed.

As far as new fall series go I’m pretty disappointed. I won’t go in depth, but I’ve dropped quite a few series and will probably do away with a few more this coming week. I will say though that Kimi ni Todoke, Fairy Tail, Kobato., Letter Bee, Trapeze, Nyan Koi!, and Tatakau Shisho are the series I’ll be sticking with for sure.

My backgrounds for the month are below.

New Preorder: Marisa Kirisame Nendoroid

I’ve been waiting since her first announcement to get her preordered. This time instead of going through Tokyo Hunter I decided to preorder her through Goody-Japan from Toranoana. The only set back about that choice is that she’ll be shipped using SAL, but other than that Goody-Japan does a good job (I’ve ordered a few things through them). I decided to skip Figma Reimu though since Marisa > Reimu imo and if there’s the possiblity of there going to be a figma Marisa then I’d rather wait and just get her instead. So what are your opinions on the Nendoroid Marisa?

Recent arrivals and coming soon

During the past month a few of my preorders finally arrived.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni EP5 came first, but I’m still waiting for Witch Hunt’s patch before even looking at it (though I’ve already seen many spoilers for it orz).

Next was one of my most awaited figures which I ordered back in May, Griffon Enterprises’ Marisa Kirisame figure. Quickly after her arrival I put her together and in the display case she went. I can be a bit clumsy so I wanted her in there as soon as possible. I can say I am very happy to have ordered her because she’s gorgeous. The only thing I don’t like about it is the clear part between her feet and the base. In the promo pictures it’s black which looks a lot better in my opinion. Other than that she’s perfect and stands proudly at the top of my display case.

Yesterday Nendoroid Reimu came since I opted for EMS shipping. Sadly I broke her staff within 5 minutes of having her, but no worries it’s all fixed up now. Really the only problem I have with her is that there’s a bit of space between her skirt and her upper body and she’s on her stand. Other than that everything is okay. She’s very cute and I can’t wait to order the Marisa Nendoroid to make a complete pair.

I got two games that I preorder last month as well. Muramasa was at the beginning of the month. The game is absolutely stunning not only graphics wise, but the music and plot as well. I definitely reccomend this game. The other was Persona 1 for the PSP. That I still have sealed since I don’t have a PSP as of now (Planning on getting one eventually).

The things that will be coming this month, unless they get delayed, are as follows:

BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER  -PILOT Edition- (DVD) which I ordered through Goody-Japan. The total comes to ~$25 which isn’t bad in my opinion.

Black ★ Rock Shooter Figure (GSC) Sadly she got delayed to OCT, and hopefully she won’t get delayed again.

Riannon Nendoroid (GSC) I wish I had ordered Saber Lily instead, but she’s still very cute.

Things I plan on ordering in the future: Marisa Nendoroid, Pokemon SS & HG, Gyakuten Kenji (US Ver.), and 1 Nendoroid (To use my Hobby Search points and it’ll probably be Shiki).

Long pointless update post is now over.

Happy Cirno Day – ⑨/⑨/⑨

Today is one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ things. The next Cirno day will be ⑨/⑨/⑨⑨, but I’m sure I’ll be dead by then unless I live to be 107 (and can still remember it). So this post is dedicated to the lovable Cirno.

Update

As you can see I haven’t updated my blog since I returned (which was August 2nd). Just haven’t had anything to talk about really so I left it be. But with the soon arrival of Umineko EP5 and a few other things in the coming weeks I’m sure I’ll be a little more active. As far as talking about the Umineko anime goes I’m just going to delay until I feel like actually doing it, since I really don’t now. I have been doing stuff with my other blog though. Nothing special, but if you like Touhou music you might want to check it out. Also I’ve changed my banner to Hiziri Byakuren from Undefined Fantastic Object for those who noticed. And with all that said I’ll end this post.

Umineko EP5 & New Figure Preorder

Well I managed to make a little time today for a small post. Let’s get right down to business then.

This morning I placed an order for Umineko no Naku Koro ni San EP5, in other words the next arc in the visual novel. I love the series very much so I wish to support it by buying the visual novels though so far I only own the EP4 disc (which contains the first 3 arcs and EP5 will contain the first 4 as well). In the future I plan on ordering the discs as they come out until the series ends. I believe the release of EP5 will be next month so it’s not too long of a wait~. If anyone was wondering I ordered it here using Goody-Japan.

Earlier today I got news that everything was just about set for the figure I was planning to order so I am happy to say I will be an owner of one of the Hakurei Remiu Nendoroids~! I ordered her through Tokyo Hunter and she she did cost quite the penny, but she is definitely worth it. Did anyone else  preorder her?

Well that’s it until I get back! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer~!

Vacation

It technically isn’t until next week, but since there are many things I have to do before then I figured I would make a post while I still had time. Before I start packing I have to help clean the entire house “OTL. My house is well…not the cleanest to say the least. It doesn’t help that I have a dog that not only sheds like crazy, but loves to destroy and eat anything. I am not exaggerating when I say anything either. Well that explains that matter so onto other things!

For when I get back, although it will delayed, I will have a post about the first arc of the Umineko anime. So it will cover the first 5 episodes. I decided that I would just talk about the series in arcs opposed to one episode at a time to try and prevent any spoilers for the rest of said arc. On that note I’m sure you can tell that I have a new banner! Yes she has to do with Umineko, but sadly for those anime-only-fans you won’t know anything about her until the end of the series (unless for whatever reason they cut her out which I would then RAAAGE). Also for anyone who has played/read the visual novel: They took Bernkastel’s boobs away in the anime! She is loli, but at least she looks older and not exactly like Rika. Still looks odd to me though…

In other news I am currently looking into ordering a figure. Sadly I will not be able to reveal just which one it is at the momment, but you can be sure that there will be a post once everything is said and done.

Well that’s it for this post, will be back in two weeks(ish)~! /end super lazy post
