Finally got my Japanese Xbox 360!
I was planning on working on drawing today but I was busy with various things so I when I arrived home I didn’t have much free time. I would have tried to get a little bit done but like the title says, my long-awaited Japanese Xbox 360 finally arrived. I bought the holiday Value Pack …

A Summer Day’s Dream
Following the release of a certain less than satisfying SOUND HOLIC-produced Touhou anime, my expectations for a great Touhou anime shifted back to Maikaze’s much more promising attempt and I am delighted to say that A Summer’s Day Dream lived up to my wishes. High, professional-like production values abound throughout the twenty minute episode and …

Prospects for Winter 2009 Anime
Compared to last season’s incredible lineup, this season is looking a little sparse. Many of the new shows premiering in the coming weeks didn’t really catch my interest and those that did are mostly sequels and or OVAs. That isn’t too say there aren’t any gems but I will be playing the waiting game before …

Christmas 2008 Drawing
Instead of the obligatory Merry Christmas post that every other blogger does by posting an anime Christmas picture they found online, I decided to make one from scratch and drew Touhou Project’s Alice and Marisa under a mistletoe held up by Shanghai and Hourai. Alice is saying 「魔理沙ちゃん、キスしてみようか？」 or in English “Marisa-chan, wanna try kissing?” …

FumoFumo Touhou Plushies GET
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 …

Princess Waltz
I haven’t posted on here for a week but I have a good reason sort of; Among other things I have been playing Peach Princess‘s newest translated visual novel Princess Waltz. If I had to summarize Princess Waltz in one sentence it would be a bishoujo version of Fate/stay night’s basic premise coupled with Nanoha-styled …

Maikaze Touhou Anime Site Up
Maikaze‘s official website for their doujin Touhou anime is finally up. The first episode is entitled Musou Natsu: A Summer Day’s Dream (東方二次創作同人アニメーション 第一話 夢想夏郷 A Summer Day’s Dream). Of greatest interest of course is the small blurb about the story which I have translated below: Hakurei Shrine’s shrine maiden Hakurei Reimu together with Gensokyo’s ogre Ibuki …
