Diary of a tard - Week 1, August 2010

Wednesday, August 4

I know I said I will not be partaking any activities that have to do with anime and manga until at least I have finish a chapter for my fanfic. Well, guess what? I couldn't do it. The temptation is too great especially when you have Bleach coming out as usual this week. However, there are progress for my fanfics so it's cool if I decided to reward myself a little bit :D

Bleach episode 282 ain't bad. They don't used Love's English translated version of his shikai though, which I am happy to report XD

Thursday, August 5

There is nothing better than to wake up and have Bleach latest chapter for breakfast. This chapter however left me speechless. I dunno what to feel...

Naruto chapter 505: As expected, after that prep talk with his mother, Naruto came out of that training confidently since he managed to store away the nine-tail and can retrieve him whenever he wants. He's a badass when he used the nine-tail chakra though. He can even detect the fish-face dude who will face Guy in the next chapter.

Friday, August 6

Whoa, the last time I saw an episode of Gintama was back in December? Damn! Has it really been that long? Holy fuck... so here I am decided to watch some Gintama because I missed Gintoki and Shin. God I almost forgot how Gintama can makes me laugh and forget my worries. An episode a day to keep the doctors away. Episode 129: Kagura and Zura want help Kintaro (a dog) to see his master for the last time but turned out he is the King of Terror.

More figures to be added to my wish list

I was checking out Wonfes' post at Danny Choo to see the figures that will be coming our way soon. Speaking of DC, I was pretty sick of him belittling the other booths not getting the amount of people as Good Smile Company's booth. WTF? Some of the figures I've seen that blew my mind away (and the ones that I could never afford to have) are not from GSC. So shut the fucking trap.

Anyway, back to what I was saying. There are definitely some figures that I have my eyes on and unfortunately, or rather ironically, most of them are from GSC. I have no beef with GSC, I just wish DC is not being such a dick about it.

Lets start with the figma. It has been a while since I bought a figma. The last one was Drössel. However, I did put down a pre-order for a few new ones that are yet to arrive. The latest was figma Haruhi Suzumiya Middle School version.


Those who know me really well will already now the reason behind my obsession with Haruhi. She's practically in my list of friends, titty buddies and most importantly, my waifu list. Besides this one, I am waiting for the pre-order to open for figma Haruhi Suzumiya Disappearance version.

She definitely looks better with long hair

Besides the figma, GSC also have a nendoroid version of Haruhi for Disappearance. She came in pair with Nagato Yuki but since I don't like Nagato that much, I'm not gonna get her. My form of obsession when it comes to the franchise are only for Haruhi and Kyon, who I have yet to have any of his figure. I am still trying to get a hold on his figma but to no avail. By the way, have you guys watch the Disappearance movie, yet? Holy shit, it was freaking awesome! I can't wait for the DVD to be released. It just makes me go all mushy washy =3

So sassy, ain't she?

The only other figma that I remotely interested in is Araragi Koyomi from Bakemonogatari. I still have not finished the anime because I can't stand Senjougahara. The reason why I'm interested with Araragi is because I need a male figma to accompany these lovely figma ladies. The nendo ladies already got Arawn as companion. Why Araragi when they are other male figmas around? It's because of his hair. I love the hair that covers part of his face. It might also be the sole reason for me to continue watching Bakemonogatari again, although I honestly think the show was over-rated.


I think I have come clean of me buying the complete K-ON! nendo set and two of the figma (Ritsu and Mugi). I have yet to received nendo Ritsu and Mugi though. I contacted my supplier and they said they had some sorts of a problem with the shipment. I checked the Figure Mall and they do not sell it either. I hope I will still get them, especially Ritsu. She was supposed to arrive in February. She is the reason why I bought the other nendo of K-ON! so that it wouldn't be odd to have her alone with her drum set. I also thought that it would look nice with all of them together as a complete set. First ever complete set for my collection. Just when I thought I have bought them all, GSC came up with a new K-ON! nendo figure which is Hirasawa Ui. Of course, being a victim of consumerism, I just have to have her as well.

Thank god I like her better than her sister

There are two more nendos that I am interested in. I'm not sure yet whether or not I will buy them but the probability is pretty high considering both of them are male nendos. The first one is Hideyoshi. I want the PVC version of him but not sure whether or not I can afford him yet so my sure bet at the moment is this nendo.


Although he does not look as delicious as the one where he is taking off his tight pantsu, I just have to be contented. At least he still have his summon being with him. The one thing that I find lacking with Hideyoshi nendo is that he doesn't look like a trap. He totally gives the vibe of a male student. On a side note, I am more than happy that Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu gets a second season ^_^

The other male nendo I was talking about is Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara. It's not like I like his character per se but the armor that he adorns, especially the helmet, makes him looks so darn cute, not to mention the eye patch as well as his hair covering part of his face... I was completely sold.


The only other figure that I want to get my hands on but probably never will is the PVC figure of Natsume Takahashi from Alter. I love the details on his coat.


That's about it so far. As you can see, I'm gonna be dead broke this upcoming months. There are few of my pre-ordered figures that will be arriving and ready for collection anytime soon. So far I've pre-ordered some figures: figma Ritsu Tainaka, figma Tsumugi Kotobuki, figma Haruhi Suzumiya Middle School version and nendo puchi Lucky Star x Street Fighter set. The list of course does not include my Bleach figures and I'm still waiting for the good news of figma Konata summer version. I might also indulge myself and P/O Hideyoshi from Alter.

At the moment, I have 4 more boxes of figures that I have not open yet. They will probably stayed in the boxes until after September. These upcoming months are going to be hell. I need to earn back the money that I have and will spend soon XD

They don't feel the love

I am kinda pissed at myself as I wrote this. I was looking at my Bleach figures just now and guess what? I broke Ichigo's zanpaktou =(

Stupid clumsy hands v__v

Bleach: Chapter 415

Gin's past!! *fangasm*


Looks like Gin had known Aizen even before Aizen knew about him. It could be that this instance of his past might have influenced him to be who he is now. He had planned out his future that very moment, thus the cold blooded killing of his fukutaicho and comrades and his cunning persona, all so that he can get closer to Aizen (lol sounds like a twisted romantic love story), or specifically to be closer with the Hogyouku.

I wish we get to see more of Gin past before the switched back to the present. I flinched when I saw Gin seemingly successful in eliminating Aizen.

LOL at the Loreal!Hair

Even though I know that Aizen might not yet revealed his bankai until he fights with Ichigo, I still can't help but feel apprehensive of what to come. Aizen must have something up his sleeves.

Who to say that this whole thing wasn't just an illusion created by Aizen? That he already used Kyouka Suigetsu's power when Gin was "finishing" Matsumoto?

Oh crap! I have never seen him so pissed off =\

But yeah, Gin seemingly successful of obtaining the Hogyouku which explained why Aizen was in so much rage. I said seemingly because I honestly believe that this whole shit is just an illusion. There is no way Aizen would be done like that. Oh fuck, I'm so afraid for Gin right now =\

A freaking mothafucking butterfly?! *facepalm*

*sigh* all of his effort was wasted. Fucking Kubo decided that the Hogyouku will forever be Aizen's even if it is not inside of him. I'm sweating like a pig. What have you done, Gin? Couldn't you figured out that much. Why couldn't you wait a little longer until Ichigo comes? Why? *cries*

What I wasn't expecting though was that he's doing all of these because of Matsumoto. Holy fucking crap! Where did that comes from?! This really is a twisted romantic love story! Holy fuck...

I'm speechless.

Sora no Woto

(c) akai toshifumi

Plot? Story? Does it even have one? If it does, I certainly have missed it. It should have been about military stuff. At least they need to toughen up and not to be so nonchalant. It certainly lack the urgency of a war. They ARE still at war, right? They don't even wear their uniform like they should to. Just look at Rio's and you'll know what I mean.

After the first episode, I sincerely thought that they will dwelt more on the trumpet shit. I was so far from the truth. That's how much this anime has deviate from the first episode. Was it bad? Well, I certainly don't like it but I do know some retards out there that think Sora no Woto is a masterpiece. Ah how we have degraded ourselves and succumb to emoe-blob-shit. I blame it all on K-ON!

Sure, they attempted to make the last few episodes to have a tiny little bit interesting development but it was too late because I can already tell what's coming. Even with the small usage of trumpet cannot salvage this series, in my opinion. For example, the typhoon episode... we all knew that Kureha and Claus will make it. Where was the excitement in that >_>

Most of the episodes bore me to death and I would have fallen asleep. In one episode, all Kanata ever did is sit in front of a phone and waited for it to ring. Speaking of waste of time, that.

The characters themselves are extremely ordinary (although with too much moe). The only character that stands out imo is Kureha. I found her annoying at first but gradually she grew on me. She's the only one who take her duty as a soldier seriously. Like when they met the Roman's spy, she had the right mind to report her but the rest of them were all about being humane. For fuck sake, she's a fucking spy invading the enemy's territories! *sigh*

The sound and music. Hmm, not really a fan of its OP or ED. Too much of moe. I mean, at least they could try and make it seems like they are really in a war or something. The good news is I kinda like the Amazing Grace trumpet song. It kinda grow on ya without you realizing it. Brainwashed? LOL



No complained for the seiyuus either although I do think that Rio sounds like a man sometimes.

I would have dropped this series if not for the art and animation. They were amazingly details and fluent. The background is one of the most gorgeous looking scenes I’ve seen in a while. It is breath-taking. Even the CG usage was a success. I guess at least there's one thing that A1-Pictures did right.

At the end of the day, I couldn't appreciate this show because the similarities to K-ON! is too much. I might have missed a lot of things because of my cynical view but I can't help it and I don't give a damn really. Some says that it has lots of potential but I think they wasted it trying to shift to moe. Don't do it again, A1-Pictures.

Arts & Animation 10/10
Sound 9/10
Story 5/10
Character 6/10
Enjoyment 6/10
Overall 6/10

Alpha Omega Hiyori Sarugaki

I first heard about her in February. I thought that she will always be in my wish list because at that time I don't think I can afford her nor do the online stores that I get my figures from have her. However last month I tried my luck with one of the sellers at lowyat. Lo and behold, here she is now with me!

She cost me a fortune though. I can get a new double walled fixed gear bike with her price tag but every cents that I spent for her is worth it. This 1/8 scale figure (the only figure of her I can find so far) is made by Alpha Omega. This is the first time I purchased anything from Alpha Omega and I have to say that I am very impressed with the sculptured details on Hiyori. It was the reason that I want her so badly and I am so glad that they did not disappoint. Kudos to Tonji Tanaka.

Now I know the reason why people are crazy about PVC figures. The details and the hard work that are put into making these figures are unbelievable. No wonder it cost me an arm and a leg. Don't believe me? Enlarge the pictures and see it for yourself.

I love her casual pose. The thumbs down and her expression, it was very "Hiyori". She and Shinji are the only Vaizard that I have a b0nar for. I hope she is not dead yet. I hope Hachi and Unohana can somehow save her after Gin raped her. I still want to see more of her in Bleach.

I personally think that she has the best looking Vaizard mask, or at least second to Ichigo's. Whether or not it match her personality is a different matter. Although I think with Hiyori's expression for this figure, it was a perfect match.

Who said that Hiyori has non-existence boobs? She has a decent size of boobs. I think those are my favorite parts of this figure. They are practically my boobs!

cleavage!!

Hiyori might be small but she won't allow anyone to bully her. She stands up for herself and that is probably I like her in the first place. Not to mention that she makes a cute couple with Toushiro. Heh, me and my crack pairing. Anyway, I don't think she and Rukia ever met in the manga/anime yet. If they do meet, I think she and Rukia will get along just fine.

My fav shot of her

Gah! Words cannot express how excited I am about her. The last time I got this excited when I got new figure was with Konata Izumi even though she was unintentional. I have so much fun taking pictures of her. I guess this is one of the perks of having a PVC figure.

Enjoy the rest of the pictures. Don't forget to check out the details on her zanpaktou as well as her sexy ass.

This just makes me more determined to get Hideyoshi ^_^
