My least favorite character in the trio but I needed the complete set ^^;

And that’s not to say I don’t like her ^^;
Aschen! Another character from 無限のフロンティア スーパーロボット大戦OGサーガ (Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier)… some sort of android assistant to the male lead, Haken.

A bit tardy with this review, suman!

Good ‘ol horo ^^ There’ve been a few releases based on the light novel art but Good Smile Company’s was the first that captured her anime rendition to my liking.

If I heard correctly, Saki is all embarrased and such about her maid outfit in episode 4… Specifically she comments twice about the skirt length. Well, let’s take a look at her preferred seifuku skirt length…

And I say preferred because hisa & mako wear their seifuku plenty long. In conclusion, saki is a liar. She loves short skirts :P

Finally decided to learn more about mahjong and figure out what the heck was going on in 咲 (saki). Do you know the rules? The Japanese rules? Thought I’d throw together a little summary of my research for those who are curious but haven’t gotten around to it yet :P

A man of many names! Lelouch Lamperouge, Lelouch vi Britannia, Zero… but in the end Shirley’s nickname of choice is my favorite too – lulu.

Megahouse’s new G.E.M. line of figures has delivered! I finally have my hands on a nice scaled code geass figure!

Wanted to get that lulu review up, but… well, truth be told it was hot as hell and I couldn’t get anything done. Kept my computer off most of time to keep the house as cool as possible (no AC orz). So while that did wonders for my progress in FFTA2… well, you get the picture ^^;
I did make a trip to J-Town to pickup some manga I had ordered some weeks back…

^___^

From the game 斬魔大聖デモンベイン (zanma taisei demonbein – using wikipedia‘s rough translation…Demon-Slaying Grand Saint Demonbane)… Metatron!

The game was worthy of a PS2 release and anime, though to be honest I don’t really know anything about any version ^^; Saw the preview pics, noted that she was by Alter and preordered ^^;

Just finished a massive 200 shot (well, massive for me at any rate) review session. The trick to a nice white background still eludes me.

Above you can see I tried out the fabric background again, curious if the new lights would help in that endeavor. I guess it did, however my lack of ironing again rears its ugly head.

Welcome back! To those actually interested in the manga I used for lesson material last time, sorry for the cliffhanger (well, perhaps that’s a little strong, it wasn’t that dramatic ^^;). Today we will cover the negative present tense! Click here for lesson 1 or here for the previous lesson (6). Ready? Rettsu GO!

Presenting the main character of ペンギン娘 (Penguin Girl), 南極さくら (nankyoku sakura)!

As returning readers are probably aware, my first shoot with the new umbrella lamps. Very happy with both the lights and the figure ^^
