For some reason, I never get the sort of joy out of any of the other news than I do out of these HIP PARADE figures. They are amazing. I mean, wow. Who came up with this idea? And then the bust figures. Just wow. Ok, well this time around they are wearing a rather intricate set of bottoms. Latin bottoms, you might say. Maybe from a carnival. No back shots, sadly. Do any of you even buy these? It's out in May for 6,300 yen.

Only one shot after the jump. But hey, it looks nice! Got all twelve of them on there. Yep.

Aizu Project has announced a Ryomou figure dressed up like a sexy dominatrix-nurse. Just like I like. It comes in two colors, white and pink, and due to shit pictures, it's nearly impossible to tell how good the figure looks. I really wish they would supply better shots. It's amazing that there are even images this shitty left in the world. Only in Japan, I guess. Anyway, it's due out in May for 6,300 yen.

Only one shot after the jump. Blame Aizu. NOT MY FAULT!

Terra E… (Toward the Terra) has had its website put online. I swear it looks familiar, but maybe I hadn't seen it before. Either way, the official site is up and hosts a bit of info on the upcoming series. It comes with some initial character looks and the other bevy of standard website info. Yep. OH, and lots of space things. Check it out if you are into the show.

Don't we all love tiny lolis and combat and servitude? I KNOW I DO! Well, for those of you who agree with me, AND YOU BETTER, then you need to check out the fresh-o-licious Hayate no Gotoku trailer. I haven't watched it yet, but surely it is high quality and super wonderful and everyone loves it. YOU LOVE IT! It'll be up after the jump. Yessir.

I should maybe have looked at how long it is… I know nothing about it. Haha. (YouTube is being lame. Might take a bit. Switched to DM.)

Alter is stepping up the fuck with some nice ero-based figures for June. You know how much I love those ero character designs and great story lines. Yessir. It's like reading Playboy for the articles, only true. First up is Fauna from Megachu! (Megamisama Chuuihou). Fauna looks to go along with that Makai Tenshi Djibril crowd and I think she would fit right in, color and outfit wise. She is an amazing carve and I always love that belly-button through the suit thing. Nice expression in the face. She's 1/8 scale and 180mm tall. She's out for 5,800 yen this June.

Next up in the sexy list from Demonbane is Al Azif. She's wearing a swimsuit and sitting playfully in a floaty ring. The carve is spectacular, the look is great, and I really dig the pose. I do have some concerns about the stomach fold, but hey, I am a picky bastard and no one ever listens to me anyway. DO THEY, HAN?! Out in June, she's 100mm tall sitting, and will run you a scant 4,800 yen.

Some shots of each up after the jump. I am not as taken in by these just because I am insisting on holding out for Max Factory. INSISTING! ABIDE ME! Ok, hit the jump now.

Huge fucking snow storm coming to town! YAY! Not the million inches like near those lakes. Anyway, I'm still super busy at work. It's pretty stressful. Man. It's also keeping me from taking some time to work on new features for ikimashou and I am behind on anime and on gaming. I am sort of working through the main Oblivion arc. I've been messing with the Thieves' Guild lately. Awww yeah. Ok, well enough about me, let's move it along. Got some good updates. Oh, and I will be rolling the Alter updates out into its own post.

Anime/Manga/Games

• BEST NEWS: Kodomo no Jikan is getting a TV series. Hurrah hurrah! The manga is due out in America in April from Seven Seas (despite their poopy OEL drivel.) Via the sexy, schmexy Shingo over at Heisei Democracy. KISS SHINGO-TAN! Nice to see you posting. (Really, I saw it on moetron first, but Shingo's blog has been so lonely lately. SO VERY LONELYQ!!!!)

AmebaVision is hosting a four minute fourteen second long trailer for the upcoming Rio-laden Super Blackjack offshoot PS2 game Rakushou! Pachi-Slot Sengen 5: Rio Paradise. It's about time for all us Rio lovers who wanter her on our PS2s. WOO! The game is set to hit stores on April 5th, and we will all get our Rio fix. YAY RIO! That's all I really have to say. News has been slim lately. Which is good for me being so busy and all. Ok, I'm off. Please enjoy.

By the way… BEST TRAILER EVER! AWW YEAH!

And amazingly, only one figure today. She's from Shining Tears via President Japan. YES! It's Blanc Neige. No she's not in a bathing suit this time. Her hair is a little see through and her head seems a bit small and misshapen. She's wearing her super magic outfit. The body looks ok, the head is sort of meh. All-in-all I would say the figure is so-so and other hyphenated words. It'll be out in April for 6,090 yen. YAY! I guess. Alter's is better. I'm just saying.

Only one shot after the jump. Enjoy it so much as you can.

Well, there have been two new announcements of anime for me to steals. I mean that are going to have online premieres. NewType announced that Kaze no Stigma would debut on their website on March 9th. How exactly hasn't been discussed yet. The show hits TVs in April. And Yahoo! announced that the first chapter of the Byosoku 5cm movie will premiere online for "free" between February 16-19. The movie hits theaters on March 3rd, and the free sample is only for Yahoo! Premium jerks.

Man, I got so fucking busy last week. I got some prep work done for my NEW SECRET FEATURE. Still a few months out, I am sure. I am a bit backed up because of how painful work has been. Amazingly, work has gotten worse. I am now on ALL WEEK. Amazing. My life is a lie. Ok, no really. But you guys should save me by paying for me to live. Keep that in mind while you enjoy this super rollup.

Anime/Manga/Games

• Bandai Visual is going to release Clover, a six-minute animated music video. It'll run 1,575 yen an it'll be out on May 25th.
• Death Note is getting a DS game. You know you want it. It's from Konami, it's called Death Note: Kira Game. There's a trailer. It's out on the 15th.
• Trailer: Tales of Symphonia is getting a four episode anime. The first disc hits on June 8th. You know you want it. Trailer is over this way.
• Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro is getting a fifth anime series. Toei is doing it.
• Kotetsu Sangokushi finally got a website that makes sense. Finally. Fuckers. You might have to go twice since sometimes the front page redirect fucks up. Geniuses.
• A trailer is up for the Manabi Straight PS2 game, it's out on March 29th. The full title is Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight: Kira Kira Happy Festa! Enjoy.
• I don't remember if I mentioned this, but by way of moetron, I found out that Nanoha StrikerS is set for 26 episodes. OR MORE!
• Dengenki Bootleg announced an anime adaptation of the Shigofumi ~Stories of Last Letters~ light novel.
• Hellsing 3 got delayed. No new release info available.
• And to finish up, DelRey got a HUGE strike two in my book as they have announced their first OEL shitcan. Worst of all, they are still calling it manga. Even more so a disgusting is The Canadian Nobody herself Avril Lavigne is the namesake and appears as a character. What's the name of this guaranteed shitpile? Avril Lavigne's Make 5 Wishes. Wow. If you see the writer, Joshua Dysart, or the illustrator, Camilla D'Errico, on the street, kindly kick them in anything that looks tender. DelRey, you know what, fuck it. You're off the list. Unacceptable. Thank you for dipping your toes in the luke warm sewage that is OEL. Thanks for ruining the good thing we had. It saddens me that I now have no acceptable example of how to handle the American manga market to point to. Thanks. And thanks for ChronosAI for pointing it out to me.
