Asuka Langley -Test Plug Suit ver by Max Factory

shikinami_asuka_mf-header-copy
Hi everyone, today I can show you a review about Shikinami Asuka Langley from Max Factory, this figure is scaled 1/6 and has a height of 275m. This Asuka is called Test Plug Suit version because Asuka wore in in the Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance. Asuka was released in the middle of December, I’ve ordered her via SAL shipping to save some money, I was actually a bit scared about EMS shipping for a 1/6 scaled figure and so I just received her a few days ago.

Idolm@ster – anime review

232103-nqkws0x-copy

Idolm@ster is a 25 episode long anime which aired from July to December 2011 it was produced by A1 Pictures and Aniplex. Idolm@ster is an anime adaption of the popular XBox console game with the same title, I never played any of these games, but I was interested in watching the show.

At first I wasn’t sure if a 25 episode long anime show could do justice to the background and personality of each of the 12 (13) idols. But I must say that it worked surprisingly well.

Suzu from Nagasarete Airantou made by Kotobukiya

suzu-kotobukiya-header-named

When already running out of space you shouldn’t order old figures I would say XD

While I was searching for a cover illustration of the Nagasarete Airentou anime, a picture of a cute figure appeared and I was enchanted by her charming appearance and I wanted to see more of her. In the end I bought her on ebay, after I’ve asked the seller to make her cheaper, my price was quite bold, but luckily he accepted it, I wonder if he would have sold her for even less ;)

Anime Review Zegapain

zegapain-01
There are many ways to encounter an anime you’ve never heard of and the way I stumbled over Zegapain was the following, some month ago the figure manufacturer ALTER announced a figure called Ryoko Kaminagi -Resurrection- which will be released in January 2012.

At first I thought it was a rather plain figure showing a guy crossdressing *lol*, but I really wanted to know what Zegapain ought to be? I guessed that it was an anime and typed the title in the seach box of MAL, the description sounded quite interesting and the ratings were good.
I was searching for a new anime anyway and so this show ended in my Plan to watch list.

Zegapain is from the year 2006 and was made by Studio Sunrise, who are well known for their mecha related anime, like Gundam. Zegapain has a different feel to it than their usual kind of show, since it’s more focused on the characters and their emotions than the mecha fights. Continue reading »

K-ON!! Yui – PM Figure “Windmill” by SEGA

yui-header

Hi a new figure has finally arrived, after a lot of anime related posts I can present you a new figure review. Today it will be about Hirasawa Yui, she’s a premiun prize figure manufactured by SEGA.

Her origin is the popular anime adaption K-on!!, the slightly airheaded Yui was the unofficial main character in the first season. In this figure adaption she is shown in her official HTT (Happy Tea Time) band t-shirt which she sported at the last performance on the school festival with Mio, Ritsu, Mugi and Azusa in episode 20. Ah that scene afterwards was such a big tearjerker, parting with your schoolmates and previous schoollife can be so sad hard. “stop crying damn wimp” XD

Manyuu Hickenchu review NSFW

Today’s anime review is about Manyuu Hickenchu, after the past 6 anime reviews of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée , Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel , Ro-Kyu-Bu, Usagi Drop , Blood C and Mayo Chiki this will be the 7th and probably last anime review of Summerseason 2011

Sometimes there appear manga with an hilarious sounding setting you’d never thought of and sometimes it happens that this works will get an anime adaption, like Manyuu Hickenchu, a 12 episode long anime, made by Hoods Entertainment, who also made Seikon no Quaser. I would describe it as an ecchi roadmovie in an traditional japanese setting with comedy and a bit drama. Continue reading »
