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 otaku poverty line, getting my hands on the new figures that I just can’t live without will surely demolish my entire savings. I won’t have any regrets, but I’m going to have to learn to live with the consequences.
Doujin developer fly-system has released a new trailer for their mahou shoujo crossover Magical Battle Arena. Unlike their previous videos which only featured Takamachi Nanoha and Lina Inverse, the new trailer has footage featuring all 8 known characters.
I was looking forward to seeing Fate Testarossa and Kinomoto Sakura’s attacks most but the most interesting characters in the video are the two originals. Kirara uses two glove-mounted dual blades for an interesting way of fighting. Sarara probably has the coolest weapon, a bow with a dozen bits. With 13 beams firing simultaneously, her super-mode special is quite something to look at. I really can’t wait for the full release so I can play as her.
If you haven’t played the game demo yet, you can download it directly on the official download page.

Being perpetually short on money, I have been resisting the urge to buy anything not necessary to my survival but I am finding it increasingly difficult to do so. The last figure I bought was the GOOD SMILE COMPANY 1/8 Takamachi Nanoha to complement my ALTER 1/8 Fate Testarossa. I really like those two but the lack of any new figures is saddening.
