Right now, Gundam fans around the world are celebrating the official 30th anniversary of the appearance of the original RX-78-2 Gundam (which was today, by the way), so I figured I would do my part with a review of my recently-completed 1/100 scale Gundam Avalanche Exia Gunpla!

Yesterday me and a bunch of friends took a trip to Washington DC to attend this year’s Sakura Matsuri. For those who do not know, Sakura Matsuri is the largest one-day exhibition of Japanese Culture in the United States and is part of the two-week National Cherry Blossom Festival sponsored by the Japan-America Society of …

Sasuga Japanese Bookstore was having a sale this week including 50% off of all in stock calenders so I decided to order SquareEnix’s Higurashi no Naku Koro ni 2009 Calender nearly two months after the start of the year. This calender features 12 full-color illustrations drawn by the various Higurashi manga-ka ranging from the cute …

For some reason or another the other day I found myself doing the internet equivalent of window-shopping and once again was entranced by the allure of PVC beauties. I failed to mention it in my Goals for ’09 post but I want to reduce the amount I spend on otaku goods. However any such prospect …

Just when I had thought I was satisfied with receiving a trap cake and drawing my Marimite yuri chalkboard picture, my birthday got even better when yesterday three of my friends surprised me with something I had given up on getting a while ago—Alter Unison Vita! I know I mentioned that wanted Vita a few …

After waiting over a month, I finally I received my plushies. The plushies in question are the Touhou Nuigurumi FumoFumo Reimu and FumoFumo Marisa by Gift. Since I couldn’t find them in stock anywhere and because I was so desperate to get them, I went through Shopping Mall Japan for the first time ever so …

As I wrote yesterday, I got something else in the mail besides my Little Busters! pillows and that was a beginner’s guide to figure making by Kotobukiya entitled Figure no Tatsujin: Shokyuu-hen (フィギュアの達人 初級編, Figure Expert: Beginner’s Chapter) or How to make Figure if you want to use the slightly Engrishy title. With tips and …

Today I regrettably move one step closer to actually buying a dakimakura. Instead of spending money on an expensive body pillow and cover, I opted for the more economical and less ronery option of getting cushions. In this case, they are a standard-sized pillow and a miniature one featuring Noumi Kudryavka and Nishizono Mio respectively …

Tonight I exchanged Secret Santas with my anime club and I got exactly what I wanted; I finally received my first piece of real Touhou merchandise, a pair of folding fans of Reimu and Marisa plus two mini-badges featuring Medicine Melancholy and Inubashiri Momiji. I was very happy to get what I had wished for …

With the holiday season coming up and the figure companies showing off their newest offerings for next year, now is definitely the time to put down money on preorders – but as excited as I am about all the great new releases, a part of me is in a panic! Although I live above the …
