So normally I'm not really a fan of the Black Rock Shooter series. I suppose the reason for this is the same reason I'm not all that much of a fan of Hatsune Miku (despite writing a ~15 page report on her). Back when "Hatsune Miku" gave reactions of, "Who's that, a new anime character?", Kagamine Rin and Len hadn't …

Half a year after I started figure collecting, I have finally completed my TYPE-MOON PC game collection. Well, technically not 100% yet since I highly doubt I'll ever manage to get my hands on the Tsukihime Preview or Trial Edition floppies. I'm also missing the standard version of Mahouyo (just a different box art and no artbook) and Melty Blood …

I’ve never written any real product reviews before but seeing as this is a recently released item and I don’t see any English reviews of it out yet, I decided to break that trend. Took out my new Sony DSC-RX100 (so much better than my old crappy phone camera) and took a bunch of photos with the help of Neco-Arc.

As the title says, it will be a look into the history that built up to …

This was a weekly discussion topic post I made for my language studies class, EALC 169: Advanced Japanese Popular Culture (i.e. the anime studies and analysis class). The original topic was the discussion of the book, Beautiful Fighting Girl by Tamaki Saito. The following is a rant comparing the top voted animes of 1997 and 2011 and how Saito’s “beautiful …

IKEA’s Detolfs are arguably the cheapest glass display cases you’ll find around but with one major issue: there are only 4 shelves. For most collectors, 4 shelves is far from enough to display all your awesome figures. Each shelf is also pretty deep, so filling them normally would only result in the back figures being blocked from the front. And …
