Oh man! Did anybody else have fun this weekend? I know I did. I picked up a Wii on Sunday. Showed up at the local Toys 'R Us at 7am and hopped into my spot in the third place in line. No sweat. My PS3 will be here next Tuesday or Wednesday. Yep. Picked up Resistance and an extra controller. I AM SET! I hope you guys had some luck if you ventured out this weekend. Let me hear some good stories in the comments!
Anime/Manga/Games
- SCHOOL DAYS ANIME OMG FUCK YES WIN THANK YOU PKJD FOR POSTING THIS (I always miss shit on Moon Phase…) I AM SO HAPPY! Ahem. It's due out in 2007 some time. Let me just tell you guys, I don't give a damn if you don't speak Japanese, play School Days. It is the single best visual novel I have ever played and it is worth all your time and money. Now I need to play Summer Days. Damn my slowness.
- Trailer: A second trailer for the upcoming anime movie trilogy Byousoku 5CM is online. I won't be you tubing anything today since I am in a bit of a hurry.
- In other visual novel anime news, Nanatsuiro*Drops is going to be made into an anime. they better keep Noizi Itou's characters looking sexy. Also, I can't wait to see her new manga whenever that drops. Here is the game main page.
- GONZO's site for Master of Epic is online and chugging along. The character designs look fun, but I doubt that they will end up as advertised.
- Trailer: There's a live action trailer online for the Nana 2 movie. Whee dawgy. Get your HD trailer over this way.
- Trailer: Toei put out a combo trailer for the upcoming Precure and Digimon movies. An odd couple if ever I had seen one.
- Higurashi fans, REJIGGLE! Mmm.. jiggle. Anyway, the official Higurashi no Naku Koro ni homepage threw up an announcement that people who grab the entire Higurashi set of DVDs will be eligible to pick up a DVD with something on it called Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gaiden: Neko Koroshi Hen. I'm pretty sure Neko Koroshi Hen means Strange Cat Killer, and I'm honestly expecting this thing to end up like Shakugan no Shanatan.
Figures
- Polygonia, who is a pimp, has started carving a Mikuru figure. Will it end up as a PVC or a resin kit or what? WHO KNOWS?!?!?
- I always wanted some good Dokuro-chan figures… looks like this Shiemuzu Corporation isn't going to solve my problems. The mediocre looking twelve piece box will run you 8,190 yen in January.
- Looks like Subarudo will be putting out some of the first figures from Getsumen Usagi Heiki Mina with their 10 piece 1box that is due out in February for 3,990 yen.
- Good sweet holy Jesus. Solid Works is putting out some nice Tonagura figures. First up is Arisaka Kazuki in a sexy open shirt pose. She stands 135mm tall, also comes in pink, and will be out in February for the reasonable 5,040 yen.
- Secondly! Arisaka Hatsune. She is just as sexy, but with a different style about her. I vote yes. Also comes in pink, also in February, also 5,040 yen.
- Toranoana has a couple of sexy-ish Rumble Roses figures coming out in February for 4,800 yen. Meh.
And that is it for this weekends rollup. I will maybe be posting later this week if I have time. It's Thanksgiving week here in America, so I might just take the week off and do a big ass rollup on Sunday. I will likely do the same thing over Christmas vacation. And again, tell me some good line waiting stories for those that headed out this weekend. I WANNA KNOW!

Stories? Well, I got permab& for trolling /b/ with videogames. No PS3/Wii for me. Oh yeah, killing people, being evil, the usual stuff.
Looking forward to School Days and Nanatsuiro Drops goodness. Who the fuck I'm trying to trick? They'll be screwed up big time. Love is over. Hope is dead.

Great news on Nanatsuiro and School Days, though I wonder what they'll decide to do with S.Days, so many possible routes/scenarios/anything to go with, we'll see. Summer Days was one fine piece of work, few days after launch they released that ~1.2gb patch and their site got a death sentence. No wonder they put it up on torrent later. And about Natatsuiro, I hope & beg they don't have to "simplify" the character designs that much :/

I'm happy that another anime based with character designs by Noizi Ito is being done. I hope they don't butcher the designs like they did for Shakugan no Shana. I could barely stand watching it since it looked so bad compared to Ito's original designs…

[…] Of course, that wasn't some random observation. According to ikimashou, a new anime based on UnisonShift's h-game Nanatsuiro*Drops. I really don't know much about the game. I think it may have to deal with some kind of mahou shoujo type story. The game's character designs are pretty good, though. […]
