Welcome!

The most accurate way to describe the site you've ventured uppon at this moment might be 'a blog'. But then again, the owner and maintainer of the site doesn't really like blogs. He doesn't read many blogs, he doesn't lurk the blogosphere, he doesn't want to be 'part of the community'. On the other hand, he likes to share with stuff. Be it knowledge, opinions, new stuff, old stuff, and generally that what he finds interesting.

Figure review - GSC Matou Sakura - Preparation of dinner

The fourth figure review is up. Not much of a story this time, but maybe at least something. This figure is on sale at HLJ since some time ago. I saw it there at that time, looked at it, but didn't want it first. But then, As I was visiting Vienna and bought the Tohsaka figure there, I also saw this figure in the same shop. Pondered it, and decided to get it. I could've bought it over there, but with the sale the price even with shipping was less than in the shop. Also, I wanted to test how well SAL shipping works.

Playing Shoot The Bullet - part two

Doujinshi, Gaming, Touhou

So, here we are again with playing Touhou 9.5 - Shoot the bullet. This time, it's the second level. This level is still an easy one, the scenes are simple to do for an average player, but it is getting a bit more fun now. The level has 6 scenes, just like the first one. The setting is now ice, and who else can roam the icy plains, than our beloved tomboyish daughter Cirno and her matron, Letty Whiterock.

Randomly Selected Visual Novel MADs

MAD, Video, Visual Novels

I was lurking around and watched some nice videos I had on my disk and thought I'd throw them up here, for recommendation. I chose some of my favourite MADs made to Eroge/Visual Novels. Now, these are all on Youtube. I don't really recommend Youtube for video watching experience, but mostly the only way you can get these is either Nicovideo or YT (or maybe Share and Perfect Dark, but I couldn't find some of these even there). Most of my collection comes from the times Stage6 was still around (RIP). At least I embedded them in HQ, thanks to google.

Kotobukiya Marisa - official Touhou figures on the rise

A few days ago, HOBBYSTOCK japan released info about a new figure from Kotobukiya. It became the target of interest of many fans instantly - it's Marisa Kirisame from the Touhou series. She looks very nice and it's one of very few figures from Touhou (from what I remember, all that are available are resin kits or custom made ones, and usually only available in Japan). The question has arisen - will it be available also for international customers?

Figure review - Kotobukiya Tohsaka Rin

Figures

And next up in the figure series, meet Fate/Stay Night's finest, Tohsaka Rin. This purchase was on a whim, seeing it stand there all alone on the shelf in Vienna's Animetown shop. Although the price was a bit higher than original, if counted together with the shipping cost, it was a good buy. Especially because Rin figures are really hard to find (especially good looking ones). [oh and something offtopic: technorati verification code... ngxs8kqecr - it said 'put in in a post on your front page', so I'm doing it.
