Wanted to post this earlier. My fave chick has always been ♥Fujiko♥ undoubtedly, with Hibiki being second. If you don't know who the ladies are, then lemme tell ya: (l to r) Mikiri, Hibiki, Motoko and Fujiko<-♥. Anyways, here's some of the stuff that arrived during the summer while I was gone to Europe. It's all old stuff now. I have a few more items that I got but I'll give 'em a dedicated post. So here's the rundown of stuff. Masahiko Nakahira's Street Fighter Alpha vol.2 manga (released by UDON...hint hint ;)), Lives vol.2 (JPN), Change 123 vol.5 (JPN), Until Death Do Us Part vol.5 (JPN), High School of the Dead vol.2 (JPN), Ukigumo Momojinden vol.4 (JPN), Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society Limited Edition (R1), Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: The Laughing Man (2-disc HK R3), Blue Dragon Complete Guide (CHN) and Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid vol.2-4 (R1).
Yeah, I got FMP:TSR late only cuz I seen it already and getting these volumes together (so late) cost me only about $15 (CDN) a piece. Watching it English and hearing Allison Keith (Melissa) trying to speak Cantonese is just as funny (and bad) hearing Neya Michiko. The English ADR director didn't even try to get the actors to pronounce it right. They simply copied the horrible (& funny) JPN seiyuus enunciations. So yeah, nothing really out of the blue in my swag as it's the same old items that I've continued to get. My GitS: SAC collecting seems to be done for now. I didn't even know that there's gonna be a R1 Laughing Man. Meh, the R3 costs much cheaper and is exact replica of the R2 w/ added Cantonese track, CHN & ENG subs. I won't be getting the Individual 11 'movie' cuz I didn't like the story as much and there's nothing added (as I saw it and had it on my computer a year ago). I'll have another post soon. An update on my Amazon Japan order: increased once again w/ the addition of My-HiME★DESTINY Prison Cast a couple of days ago ^^;. And yes I can't wait to get my hands on this...soon very soon.
WARNING! this post is not safe for work.
Once again, after 3 months, another orgy arrives. I got the AJ order on Fri. but was too lazy to post. Anywho, I doubt I'll have much when August comes around, which is when the last and final volume of My:ZHiME Zwei is released. Also been starting to cut down on anime. Reason be, i've been saving to buy more cool useless car accessories (ie. shift knob, steering wheel, more lights and maybe a tach) and i'm probably getting a house w/ my girlfriend. One can only go so far w/ roomies.
So, stuff for this orgy is mostly the same old stuff you'd expect from me. The Hisayuki stuff contains My~ZHiME Zwei vol.3 Limited Edition, My-ZHiME Saga Ayane Hijyo Hen Novel and the Queen's Blade Anthology Comic. Also included is the Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Ultimate Archives book, Vampire Graphic File artbook, and Happobi jin's Sweet Body artbook. I included some US stuff cuz I just got them last week. As you can see, I got Odin Sphere (been a while since i got an Eng. game) and Afro Samurai Director's Cut. Most pics are shitty quality as i forgot to adjust the focus, thus, the pics are smaller than the size i usually set them to.
I already made comments on Zwei 3 content, but i'll present some pics of the content. Included is two pages of the very thin booklet, you can see 'Yuna' & the 'Guard Keeper'. I also included the swimsuit page that is on the website. On the bottom right, they show Arika's puberty development ^^. As for the Blue Sky Sapphire Arika fig. Man, i couldn't figure (pun not intended) out how to stand her up w/ the poles and base orz. Thus, i'm leaving her in the box, but not before taking a pic ;). I'm sure Digi will have a blast w/ this one ^^, or will prolly also leave it in the box.
The second Ayane novel, isn't anything special really. There's less art in this novel compared to Kourin. The new art by Tachibana Seven can be found here. While the Hisayuki Ayane Meister coloured robe can be found here. It's much better to link scans than my crappy photos :P. There's another Hisayuki newly designec character named Sheena. I got lazy and didn't take a pic, but i will provide this one spoilerific pic from the novel.
The Queen's Blade Anthology comic isn't anything special, it's just like other comic anthologies where you got a bunch of artists drawing random comics of the charas. You do have a couple of the QB artists contributing lif F.S. All the comics are pretty ecchi stuff but never too explicit (all nips are covered). Like I said, i mainly got this book solely for the Hisayuki Reina and Lena cover ^_^;;. Here's a F.S. sample:
Familiar readers know that i'm a huge Capcom/Fighting game/Kinu Nishimura fan. Though Kinu never contributed much art to the Vampire/Darkstalkers series, that cover grabbed instantly when I first saw it months ago. Of all the past (& present) Capcom artists, she is tied for first as my fave. And who is the other Capcom artist that I hold in very high regards? Bengus (aka CRMK) obviously . I love his stuff and varied styles. Most of the artwork is done by him and Ikeno. The Vampire Graphic File contains a lot of art from the Vampire series, too bad it doesn't contain all of 'em. Every character has their own section that showcases the chara's artwork, game sketches, their moves, in game art, endings, early design sketches (most are waayy weird and different). There's a chronological timeline and a section for many Vampie/Darkstalkers paraphenilia. The book is almost 150 pages. The paper quality is decent but not as thick as a 'bristol board' kind. Here's some samples:
They also added the UDON Darkstalkers comic covers.
Too bad this isn't anything special for me as I own the comics. The Darkstalkers vol.1 TPB also contains all of the above artwork in a bigger and better quality. The Vampire Graphic File doesn't even have the Darkstalkers TPB cover drawn by Shinkiro. Thus, I present it to you as I got it 2 years ago. If you're a fan, u must get this.
Once again, longtime readers know how much i love the GitS SAC series, and how much I love GitS SAC Kusanagi Motoko's design. Thus, it was a no brainer for me to get what could be the final GitS SAC guide/art book. The GitS SAC Ultimate Archives book is 1/4 artbook and 3/4 guide book. The paper quality is shit for the price you pay (3333 yen). It feels like shonen jump/telephone book paper. reinforcing that, is almost all the pages are black and white. Keep this in mind, that his book isn't released by Hobby Japan, which explains the difference in quality. The book is just over 200 pages and contains just about the same general info found from Hobby Japan's 3 GitS SAC books (2 of which i already covered). It contains the same old summaries (but w/ a few more details), production artwork (much less from the HJ books), pages of GitS swag and another interview w/ Kamiyama. What's good is that it compiles both seasons and the movie. I mainly got this book hoping to get a ton of promo art and clean versions of the DVD art, sadly i didn't get either. Well,i'm lying. There is a few promo art, but there's so little. What you do get is nice. Aside from that is the several pages of sketches taken directly from scenes in the anime. There's only around 4 pages for each series/movie. I wish there were more as they looked really cool. In the end, this book isn't really worth the money if you have the HJ books as there isn't much new to offer and the artwork is sparse. Then again, if you got all 3 HJ GitS SAC books, it prolly means you're a diehard GitS SAC fan like me and would buy this book regardless of it's expensive & shitty quality. Here's some samples:
I've been a longtime fan of Happobi jin works (my 2nd fave after Sano Toshihide). So imagine my hype when i found out that there was going to be an artbook featuring a ton of his past and new works. The Boin Best Selection artbook may be considered his first artbook, but I personally don't consider it. As awesome as that artbook is, it mostly featured CG art from the game. Though it did have a ton of promo art, guest art, cool design sketches and a nosebleeding poster, it's still just Boin (not a bad thing and i hope they do the same thing w/ Resort Boin).
The Sweet Body artbook kills Boin Selection w/ 127 pages of pure nosebleeding art. Yup, pure art and almost zero text. The book is split up into 3 sections. There's the original works which contains the bulk of the artworks. In this section, you mainly get artworks that Happo's done for Men's Young magazine as well as Mega Store. A bunch of promo art, artwork from his website and his doujin covers. The next section is Game works. Don't get too excited as it's mostly his old stuff from the '03 and '04. There's ZERO Boin & Resort Boin art here (or anywhere in this artbook). The art here isn't explicit but awesome nonetheless. The last section is the Other works which contains miscellaneous art like the Melty Blood pic. The paper quality of this artbook is high unlike GitS UA and VGF, as it's glossy and thick. This book is probably the highlight of the orgy.
NSFW samples:
Well, the above mermaid chick goes accordingly to my recent purchases this week which include the obvious, The Little Mermaid SE Platinum Edition (oh, Ariel, how you made me think the wrong things back then XD); Street Fighter Legends Issue #2B (i'm going only for the Alvin Lee covers now) which came out today; Warriors Two (a classic that i've been holding back on featuring Casanova Wong and Sammo Hung); Dragon Ball Z Movie 13 and GitS SAC 2nd GIG vol.7 SE (i'm actually not done collecting GitS 2nd GIG cuz i don't have vol. 6, as i combined w/ Kirameki Project 1&2 at the time, which has been delayed from Summer to October & November :P)
since i already started w/ the great Takada-san's artwork, mind as well add some more as well as a mizugi one (though the mermaid one is sort of mizugi). Anbody else love her artwork?

So yeah, my big aj package for the month. mostly Otome related. Includes dvd vol.3 & vol.4 (the FP for vol.4 is a sheet of stickers...woop dee do), the Scoop Book (w/ towel and all), the Perfect guide and Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. 2nd GIG Visual Book. For those wondering, the visual book is exactly like the first Visual book for season 1. So, it's not a artbook. It mainly contains character info, episode guide, line art, background art, and a whole lot of info/research on the settings and guns and stuff. The book came w/ a Motoko/Kuze semi-clear portfolio of sorts (i'm too dumb to describe right now in my state). Anyways, i took some pics of the Scoop book even though it's been done before by others....i just couldn't help my self ^^. All i await now is the Senretsu game which should ship tomorrow and hopefully be in my hands next week. Anyways, need to go back to studyin'!
booklet 4 samples which most should have seen from the official site already, as well as the Scoop book and Perfect guide. however, i just had to take 'em since the girls are so yummy in their bathing suits.
2 hotties i just had to take, as well as a very cool 'in progress' shot.
i left this Akane shot from the book in it's original size. why? ouu...if you look really close (by clicking again), you can spot nips ^^ (NSFW).
(apr 29 1:30 AM EST edit): tired as i'm done my exams, also had a few drinks but not drunk, thus i just want to mention famitsu has a shot of arika from the Senretsu PSP game. there's more game news (like yakuza trailer/hands-on) but you know where to go for that since i'm already 'late' :P.
Yeah, i got my amazon canada package today. just some r1s: Burst Angel 5 & final volume 6 (i love you sei) and GitS SAC vol.3 SE ("yay free gits figs" /end sarcasm) which includes one of my fave episodes for this season (ep.11). Next SE of GitS i intend to get is vol.5 as i've sort of let it be known in the past that i love ep.17 ;). Also that volume contains the awesome episodes of 18 & 20. Vol.4's episode 14's Poker Face is really awesome too.
Before you continue reading, this is a Shadow Hearts From the New World related post and thus the following pics below will contain spoilers. Today's post will focus mainly on Shania's Fusions and a future post will focus on the endings and a few fmvs. So be warned if you intend on playing this game. So, i'll start off first w/ my rant and my cyber formula theme w/ the Vap campaign chick.
Shingo has posted his pics from WHF 2k6 and man, the figs look awesome. Lot of Natsuki figs (love the twin pistols/element one) which i hope are exclusives so it won't tempt me. What really tempts me is the BakuTen Sei figs, the one in her bathing suit from ep.15 and the one in her normal getup from R2 Box 4 pose. I hope those are exclusives too or garage kits only, otherwise i must GIT *cries*. Both Carmen99 is really tempting along w/ the minis of her and the girls in bathing suits. Dannychoo has also got his 'part 2 of WHF' up w/ some awesome pics as well (ie. RANGIKU!!!). Also, beerman posted his collection of WHF links. Anyways, i hope the figs i really like aren't easily accessible :P.
My-HiME news: As always, i brought news to AoD w/ the official My-HiME Bakuretsu PSP site being updated w/ movie clips of sample combos from 8 characters. Now if you haven't watched the anime and intend to, i suggest you not go there and not continue reading the rest of this paragraph. So yeah, the game looks and animates like shit. backgrounds are fugly w/ nothing animated and interesting to look at ('cept for the forest stage w/ Kazu-kun/Kazuya :P). Some of the combos look sort of cool but is a pain if i have to watch the same animated sequence for the super move i pull over and over again. i mean, i was so sick of watching those akane and mikoto super combos. I really hope you can skip those anime scenes cuz i)they're long ii)they slow the pace down in a fighting game and iii)they're boring cuz they're ripped from the anime. Either way, i'll be have a decent time w/ it only cuz i love the series and just want it for the sake of my collection and the fact that i'm a fighting game aficionado as well HiME/ZHiME Hisayuki aficionado ;) :P.
Of Olympic note, watched the woman's hockey game yesterday, Canada raped Sweden as expected and lived up to the hype. While Men's barely held off the Czechs today...man they suck. Also just want to note that our female goalie (Charline Labonte) is cute and during the awards ceremony i noticed that Team USA's captain (Krissy Wendel) is friggin' hot! Speaking of hotties, I watched the ladies figure skating short program only for Sasha Cohen who finished in #1 position today. YEAH BABY!! Sarah Meier from Switzerland is pretty hot too, but Cohen beats out everyone EASILY :D.
Shadow Hearts From the New World Spoiler ALERT
So yeah, SH3 is coming soon and i've been watching and sorta playing my friend's save file of the JPN game. Today i'm gonna present Shania's CG fusions which is what i'm sure most horny fanboys would enjoy as she goes mostly nude. the Demo and Game OP as you know shows a bunch of CG clips that will be shown in the game. you see bits and pieces of Shania's CG fusion and one CG fushion gets the most attention and that is the Tirawa fusion (the one w/ the jiggling boobs in the fiery background). Gonna go in order w/ Ta tanka, La Siren and Tirawa. Thunderbird is actually the first fusion you already have, but since it's available on many sites, i'm gonna refrain from showing that CG. I'm also gonna refrain from the 15 sec. in-game stripping transformations as they ARE quite short, but still very yum and i'm a lazy ASS :P. So yeah, Shania gets a tattoo for each fusion she gets. Thunderbird is the tattoo on her back and i'll reveal where the others are now.
all fusions require the jiggling of boobs and stripping. So glad Yuri didn't have to do this :D.
Ta Tanaka: tattoo in the groin area, poo-see snatch :P
La Siren: tattoo on the ass
Tirawa: the one seen most often, tattoo on the boobies!!!
oh yeah, RPGgamer has a pretty crappy review (in terms of content) up. nothing too interesting imo. It got a 4/5 from them which i would not have cared either way as i love the game like SH2.
