Kotobukiya How to Make Figure Book
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.

Minor Thoughts on the End of Saimoe 2008
With this year’s SaiMoe tournament at an end, it looks as if Kagami is the superior Hiiragi twin. Although I am happy that Kagami beat Tsukasa I am a little bit disappointed with this year’s event as a whole. For one the top eight consisted of characters from only a total of 4 series; CLANNAD …

Happy Birthday Miku!

Christmas in June
Sooo… I just got my first paycheck. I take back anything bad I ever might have said about Mickey D’s, because now I can fund my otaku hobby more aggressively than ever before! At the risk of sounding overly self-satisfied, it’s Christmastime here at Taishou! And I’ve already put something wonderful under my tree. What could it …
