To be honest, I expected nothing more coming from Sony. People keep saying that PSN is so much better because it’s free, well see how that ended, and according to what you say here so is the PSN+ service just as crappy.
I did see the list of games they offered some time earlier and I have to say, most of the stuff they offered were 2-3 year old games that have already been at their peak of sales and therefore they could afford throwing out free copies of them, this is just a pathetic excuse for a “Welcome Back Package”, or rather a pathetic excuse for an apology package.
So they finally get it back up… Kinda pointless due to steam now being on ps3. (I bet steam is gonna take over soon!)
I must admit that Sony is appearing quite greedy for money with all this, and if public opinion is anything to go by, they have to do a lot more than this to please everyone. However, you mentioned that you never received an email from them about this. Perhaps they were a bit late in sending the news to certain players, but I got an email about the “welcome back” program yesterday (June 4).
As well, I managed to begin the downloads to the free games without much hassle, and signed up for PS Plus as well. Although regarding PS Plus, you are right. It’s a blatant grab for money and there appears to be nothing worth paying money for on it.
The games they offered looked pretty interesting, although it is true that they are certainly dated and can be bought in the store for $20 apiece. I hear many good things about Infamous.
I’ll give Sony one compliment though. After SOE was attacked and the services taken down I actually received 45 days of free gametime for two games (EverQuest & EverQuest II) which I have never played before, except signing up for the trial some years ago, hehe.
My heart is ready.
Hey, I went on the site and it says they have 720p video quality available. You mention that the quality is bad though and I read what you said? Is? So as an example, is the 720p on this site worse than 720p videos on youtube? Please let me know because I’d like to subscribe but dont want to if its really bad. Also, is this available in Canada? Thanks!
Hey Brian,
Well it really depends on what you look upon as quality. Youtube 720p Allows 4MB/s video bitrate, but the actual video source is what decides the quality.
I have not seen any legal distributions of Anime on youtube, hence most of the anime you watch there is uploaded by normal people. Usually they may have downloaded the video through torrents, and then uploaded it to Youtube.
A normal 720p video bitrate for quality fansubs is at approx 2MB/s – 3 MB/s. New additions should have more or less the same bitrate as those torrents, but Crunchy also adds filters to make their videos “look” better. It really depends on the producer, and what quality they are willing to provide. Hanasaku Iroha, and Deadman for instance has better or equal quality to their fansubbed rivals, while Steins;gate has noticeable quality loss.
Youtube uploads are either video stolen from Crunchyroll, or a fansub. The video is converted in the upload progress, and therefore anime on youtube will have quality loss.
Crunchyroll also makes it easier to find your content, as well as it’s a legal service. That means you support the anime industry. :-)
Get a 2 week free trial, if you want to test run the quality. ;)
It should be available in Canada, try the trial to be certain.
Thanks for the lightning fast reply. Funimation actually has their own channel on Youtube, and legally uploads over 100 anime shows in subs or dubs. The shows aren’t as updated of course, but they offer 480p and their quality seems really clear to me. I’m used to watching shows on *random* anime sites with bad quality uploads and it kind of ruins the shows. I’ve been wanting a site for awhile, that offered high quality online streams and I really don’t mind paying 5 bucks, 10 bucks, 15 bucks its all the same as long as there’s a large selection of high quality videos. I’ll try the free trial out, thanks! Are you subscribed by the way?
Hei Brian,
Yes, I’m subscribing to Crunchyroll, but cannot view Funimation content due to geographical restrictions.
Yamada.
Oh and you’ve mentioned Funimation’s streaming. I know they had a streaming service, but I haven’t really looked into it. How does it compare to Crunchyroll? Should I just subscribe to Crunchyroll and ignore Funimation, as you seem to like it better. I’ll take your word for it, let me know. Thanks.
Hi Brian,
Funimation has the license for some Anime’s that Crunchyroll does not. I’d advise you to use both, if Funimation content isn’t blocked in your country.
Yamada.
:)
just subscribed for it. sexed quality, ty for recommendation
Nintendo had me at the new Super Mario Bros Mii. Kudos to Nintendo. They’re not dead yet!
Nintendo lost me there…However I was impressed by the controller of their new console, but now I want to hear about the console specifications, but considering it has a 2012 launch they might change the current specifications even.
I agree. I had some interest in MW3, but now the hype has worn off a little, at least for me. And after finding out about hat cod elite thing, my feelings towards it are lukewarm at best, now.
Battlefield, however, is always in the unfortunate position of being overshadowed by the hype cod generates, as you said. This time, however, I hope the balance will shift. Battlefield is a great series, it should have a chance in the spotlight.
I already knew that Modern Warfare 3 would be more of the same as the other games, there’s rumors that the multiplayer will be the same P2P crap as in MW2. They could at least have done like Treyarch did to Black Ops in my opinion, having dedicated servers but which could only be bought from a certain provider, at least that’s better.
Battlefield has always been a great series with large maps and long as hell matches, and after what I can see so will Battlefield 3 be exactly the same except that it got a kick-ass single-player too.
Thanks for the tip about the new plane, I thought I had to by it or something, or it would cost me 600 credits (insane)
I’ve been hearing about this. Hopefully it’s a TV series. There hasn’t been one for a couple of years since 00.
How long has it been since the last 00 series. Please excuse me as I’m not an avid Gundam fan since the Wing series. Of course that died a long time ago.
Do want, wish they’d release a figma/figurine line though. Imagine the price of buying every character in their glorious PVC form haha.
To put it in plain English, a fucking lot I bet’cha.
A tip for controversial applications: They may be removed at anytime, so download it fast if you want it. I’ve had MiTube, a YouTube downloader, and it got removed from App Store, but it’s still installed.
Using Manga Rock Unity on my ipad, works like a charm :3
I love this character. The squirrel tail just really turns me off.
But man… dat outfit.
Ahem…
Jibun Wo~
All.
Over.
Again.
I am disappoint! This is not Ohana at all!
Surprised they’re getting a 2nd season!
I loved this manga, do you need a little sister?
Great review, I agree on all your points. Although I tend to prefer longer series as it tends not to feel rushed giving the characters and relationships more time to develop, something i think is sometimes rushed in a 12/13 episode series.
I also concur on your point concerning the ending, it was a bit confusing but i feel as though it was a real metaphorical hug after all the tear jerking moments which led up to it.
I still don’t get the whole imaginary world thing, but besides that, I loved this show wholeheartedly.
Wowow this seems like a really interesting manga! more on the horror side lol I shall check it out sometime ;3
Will have to give this a read.
this manga was really creepy dont think it was a good idea reading it at midnight
One of my favorite Tsuns.
Gotta love Clannad even if it is for Kyou Fujibayashi alone ^^
Yup. :D
It’s a shame that KyoAni screwed up with the Kyou Chapter adaption of Kyou’s arc. It kind of destroyed what was supposed to be Kyou’s greatest moment.
This was easily one of the cutest things I’ve ever read.
Why pay?
Because people like to support the artists, by paying they support the artists. At least most of the time.
There are actually some people who like to buy stuff, but it is certainly true in the case of manga that it’s extremely easy to not pay and a huge amount of stuff isn’t licensed.
If this app would allow me to play mkv files from my computer onto my ipod touch without too much hassle, I would buy it in a heartbeat. It seems like that is what it promises to do, so I shall give it a try. Perhaps this will be the most useful app I’ve ever encountered (been trying to solve the mkv-on-ios dilemma for a while now, lol)
Jailbreak? ( . w . )
Bobbierob
This App converts MKV video live, while you’re streaming it.
Yamada.
Sold SF4 as well as SSF4 a while ago, might pick up AE when it drops on disc though.
NOM NOM NOM
used it for a long time, best app for ios ever
it was indeed awesome
i really like this kind of manga, it always has a tragic story with some minor jokes to loosen the mood from time to time, anyway good review
well, cosplay isnt really my thing but i guess i can make an exception this time hehe
Goodness- this still is just… agh. Haha.
The idea of this still makes me cringe.
Woah ok definitely im into Cosplay now
i still hope the day the anounce the VOCALOID manga or the idolm@aster manga
That’s pretty much inevitable and I’m sure they already exist. There are several idolm@ster manga series already. Not sure how they relate to the games since I only know a little about them, but I presume they feature characters from the games.
Ahh so kawai i love it
Nice pictures. I like the pictures.
ok the next tsundere has to be without exceptions Makise Kurisu
As much as I would love to do that, there’s tons of tsun-tsuns out there to write about. Makise might be too recent. :P
Woah sugoi review, uts a shame i dont have ANY video game system… :’( still it make me wanna play it
ok now it got a video, excellent game kind of remind me devil may cry i guess
ok its just me or this manga is almost the same as Kami nomi no shizuru sekai?
Not really. I guess they’re similar since they’re both shounen manga and thus share one of the typical story types that shounen manga generally fall into, but apart from that they’re very different. The World God Only Knows doesn’t have nearly as sexual character designs and Kimiiro Focus has no supernatural elements at all. I could go on and on, but apart from the general story structure they’re very different.
Kyubbey get away from her dammit
Wow, shes pretty…
But i have a question. Is she wearing a wid or did she diy her hair? Coz there is no way u could have such blond hair if ur asian!
But still, she is one hot chick….i mean Girl! :)
ahahhahahah~! \(^-^)/
Laters
Rick
Her Face….
Her body…..
*BONER*
Just kidding!
ahahahahhah~! \(^-^)/

ok first i hate Yaoi, second looks like girls prefer shonen manga now, third is obvious that at least every girl now what Yaoi is about so is a safe businness (well except for this http://youtu.be/InDK9qwVDhU ), and finally please dont say gay porn, gay means both girls and guys, from now on use Yaoi or Yuri
I won’t apologize for using gay in the headline since I wanted it to provoke readers to some reaction, but in future articles I’ll be more thoughtful in what words I use in the article itself. I do agree that words have specific meaning and shouldn’t be abused. Not sure if I’ll use the yaoi or yuri terms for more than just describing genres though. It’ll depend on context.
what in blue hell is this
All I can say is that when your looking for a job in the US with the crappy ass economy we have right now, no one will care what it is as long as they can work.
for a moment i thought this was gonna be a lolicon manga like Kodomo no Jikan, but the only thing i dislike is that they keep the girl as a psycho, well i guess this manga also has his jokes in every page so the story doesnt turn out into a horror drama
I can just hear the girls squealing.
finally i was hoping for this, and my favorite sekirei is ku….maybe im a lolicon
yeah well its tru that this manga has the problem of been to damm slow, this manga is for those who like the comedy of situations and of course the echhi factor
She got the looks and she suits Menma but one things missing! The Menma image of smiling!
OMG finally my wish came true, this is what i wanted to see, this cosplay is the best so far (for me of course)
Welcome to the Family, Tom.
Lol, I’ve been here for a while :P
Not mon0r, The OTHER family.
Come to papa!
http://gazetavv.com/uploads/files/vv/k/r/krestnyy_otets.jpg
maybe i should try start reading this manga, i already have the breaker: new waves but i never started
yes read it, its awesome!
Ok so far i only understood that tehy are going to release “another” season for this anime, i mean you are talking like this is gonna be the first anime for that manga
still hate this ****ing animal
seriously before i start playing this game im gonnna have to watch all the episodes of “Lie to Me”
Haha, unfortunately that won’t help much.
As a tradition first comment, but i have no mcuh to say about this game
im not gonna lie i really like this review and wanna read this
Go sign up and tell the Mon0r sent ya.
Partnerrrrs!
copped this bad boy together with #1 recently. ;3
i already signed up to crunchyroll last week, is the beta open only to members?
It’s open to everyone in North America, so as long as you live there then it should be no problems to sign up.
Been looking forward to the second season. Downloaded it at first not knowing anything, not reading reviews and was pleasantly surprised. (side note, it says season season, I assume suppose to say second season.) :3
Pretty impressive how I could read that headline myself several times and skip over the fact that it said season season. Well now it’s fixed.
Such a modest bust size. Theres something about the :< face that is so kawaii.
Incredible detail… but her face looks pretty beat.
Marry me Rin.
That’s an awfully bold statement, man. She’s cool and all, but… damn.
Lol, it’s called sensationalism – or were you talking about Ickeh?
Oh hohohohoho!
If you really have a thing for Tohsaka after watching the tv series or movie I recommend playing the game, especially with the voice pack from the ps2 version which you can patch into the pc version. It’s a very long game (50+ hours) so you get a whole lot of Tohsaka in the two other story paths in the game the tv series didn’t cover. You “only” have to get used to the slow pace that visual novels generally have.
You could say I have a thing for pretty much any tsundere. Rin is special though. :P Haha, that’s what I say for all of them.
Huh, 50 hours is even longer than Da Capo II, I’m going to get scared of it.

The title of that post was misleading, as I immediately saw that Azusa was number two on the list of “craziest” characters, and sought to demand an explanation (totally isn’t surprised at Erio taking first place, as she is actually insane, too).
Then I read it. Makes people go “crazy”. lol.
And Ryuuko from Denpa Onna, arguably, has more moe power than Erio sometimes. Just saying.
No Madoka characters? I figured Homura at least.
My initial reaction was just the same as yours, “No Madoka characters?” Outrages?
This is totally hot.
Why is Misaka so low on the list? :C
There’s not enough love for her or Elsie.
Just beat fear 3 like 10 minutes ago, and to be honest, it didn’t feel like i was playing fear at all..
I’ve played the first two on the hardest difficulties, and after playing fear 3 for like 10 minutes i came to the conclusion that i would just set it to “easy”, not cause it was to hard or anything, just so that i would be done with it. (if you know what i mean).
Even though it was a disappointment, I guess it was still worth playing for all the hardcore F.E.A.R. fans.
As for co-op, cant really test it out seeing how i.. erhm.. got the game for “free” ^^’
The game does certainly feel like a regular shooter with a scare here and there, the atmosphere is not as scary and psychologically fucked up as the first game. The second game did also have less of it but at least there are places in that game where you go “Oh god what the hell is going on now!?” instead of just a simple “Boo! Waah! Oh…That’s it?” which F.E.A.R. 3 does. This is what happens when games tries to be Call of Duty.
Actually if felt very similar to Killzone 2 for me. The cover system and everything kind of felt like you were playing Killzone 2: Fear Edition.
Never played Killzone 2 so can’t really comment on that, either way, yes the cover system was another thing I could have done without.
I only used the cover thing 1-2 times during the entire game.
Was not really needed anyways since you could just crouch next to the “covering object” for the same effect (at least doing that made feel a little bit closer to fear 1 and 2 ;_;).
agree tbh
She barely smiling in these pictures :I
Very common with Japanese cosplay models, at least after what I have noticed.
I’d only be worried by a lack of conflict of some sort – it seems he only needs to collect money. And though slice-of-life shows don’t have a plot either, it’s a different genre. It looks stale at the moment because of this.
One of the covers has the Countach made up for racing with a number on it, so I assume he decides to earn money by becoming a race driver.
fuck yeah Aria. I loved it as well and the anime seemed to be a tad too slow compared to manga. My favs from that series of work are Alice, Alicia, and Akira. Whos TheManko’s fav or favs? and are you reading Amanchu!?
I haven’t read Amanchu at all actually. After reading Aria I saw that it existed and then forgot about it for some reason. I will be checking it out for sure and maybe write something about it.
As for favorite characters in Aria I think the entire cast is pretty excellent, but I in particular liked the relationship between Aika and Akira. The pairings between all the student and teacher characters in the manga were good, but their interactions stood out for me since they both weren’t “special” and were deep down a bit resentful at the fact that their friends seemed to succeed easier than them. It added just the right amount of realism to the story as a whole I thought since it briefly got a bit more serious than it had before. The way Akira got over her issues was fantastic I think since the manga went to a low point emotionally and the contrast to when it went to its usual highs made it extra memorable.
I thought they may try some romance with Aika and Al but that ended up boiling out at the end. The traghetto gondola girls made me feel something of a little sadness.
Lastly, I found President Aria to be hella annoying in the anime but the manga(thank god) didnt have him speak(well have a voice actor). ;x
The whole Aika and Akira not being extra special was one of my fav things too. An internal conflict for both of them but hard work goes a long way ;o
The places in the story, from what I’ve seen, are actually real(not being on mars and all). Found that pretty cool.
I haven’t seen Double J, but based from you’re review it sure sounds so miserable. To spill a joke that isn’t funny is just so sad, and it gets annoying as the series progress with the same act, especially if you have stiff characters doing the acting.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I’ll surely avoid wasting my time watching this anime. ^^
It is a sad event to be sure. :C
Yeah, if you have nothing else to do go ahead and watch it, though I would recommend you to save yourself the four minutes of suffering.
Derpa second season will, i hope shed of light over that b-a-d end. I mean it was a great story on how to earn adolescent points >.>
Hidan no Aria needs moar Riko, erm i mean a second season to strike a better sense into those who bashed it.
Hidan no Aria needs more Aria and Kinji, my opinion.
Please…no…more…
huh??? o.o?
hearing this about Hidan no Aria is depressing, i’ve really gotten into the novels, and the anime so far has been really cool… it’s a given that fans will [should] show their support, so why are they worrying about how well it’ll sell?
Denpa Onna S.2 being greenlit is awesome, so far these two shows have been my favorites of the year…
I’m not a shoujo fan at heart, so I can’t say that I’m going to jump straight into this manga. But I can say that after reading your review, it seems like this won’t be your typical angst-ridden love story.
There is some angst, but in general the manga has been relatively angst free. I simply hope it stays that way.
As the Deputy Editor in Chief I now has to inform our readers that there will be no more Tsundere posts. Tomphile was after this scandal fired from the team and executed by a gang of kittens.
LOL
More girls need to not wear their shirts properly.
I pretty much agree completely with this review. That the sci-fi elements are farily low key for so long and kind of sneak up on you I really liked. I also liked the island setting, but that’s probably just because I really enjoy tropical island settings in general.
truly amazing
I like eating my pizza on my futon. Is that weird?
Yes, it is really weird. You really need to see a doctor to cure yourself of that.
One of those manga/anime series that just popped up one day and made me a big fan. I’m with you on the story being slow for the most part in the beginning stages, but it really does get better. The new arc with the returning girls was a good idea since it weeded out some of the lesser characters and left us with a relatively manageable cast. Imagine if the mangaka had to constantly create new characters.
Toradora is one of the few shows I watched in its entirety on youtube. I enjoyed it rather a lot.
YouTube aside, Toradora deserves the full HD treatment.
I <3 hitsune miku! not toyota… SELF EXPLANATORY!
Look at my boss post :3
Great job. Keep it up!
heyyyy im cosplaying him for anime matsuri and i wandering where did you orders your outfit from because its the best quality ive seen and the one ive found on ebay looks crappy
These are professional photo shoots of famous cosplayers. We only provide these photos as we are not the ones cosplaying. Sorry to burst your bubble. ^^;
I awaited her to get into possible yuri relationship but then my hopes were crushed by that MC guy. So cruel is anime.
Rather than that, I wanted to see Ami getting some love. :c
I feel your pain bro, I feel it.
Mhm, give me a fist bump.
*brofist*
I am still waiting for mine to come..won’t ship till end of July orz
Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? have a second season.
Now for Hidan No Aria,don’t make me run out of anime to watch.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
Me only read first volume and drop it -_-
Not that I hate it, but I don’t see anything special in this manga.
I prefer Hapi Mari over Private Prince, the story was better imho ^^
<3<3<3
Right on.
They should be celebrating Azu-nyan.
They probably would, just not sure as to when that day will ever come.
Some people are just too desperate for 2D sex.
I’ll be honest, the first episode is too strange compared to the normal fare that will need at least another one to be able to decide. :P
WTF
The fans are going to love it…but will that make them buy a car?
im a fan and i dont love it, they left miku with less dialogues and still it has that computalized voice, at least they could try to use her normal voice
I totally want to buy a Corolla after watching that. No, really.
I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted a hot dog, however.
This could be the best news since the FMA movie came out this summer.
For a show making variations on the same joke over and over I’m surprised by how good the first season was. I really liked it a lot, so I do hope they make another one.
I have seen the original show maybe 4 times, but haven’t bothered with the movies yet for some reason. I know I’ll watch them at some point and this rather positive review probably bumped that date a lot earlier than it would’ve been otherwise.
DAT ASS
Totally Looking forward to this!!!!
Shes soo cu-cu-cute! I stuttered…
Cute ^^ She did a great job on the cosplay :)
Er…am I the only one irked by this?
No.
Now that’s cosplay
Lovely
As much as I find psychotic flowers beautiful, this is one I wouldnt go near.
I would!
Then this would be one of your last posts ;x
Needs more tongue.
Also… nasty armpits.
DIRTY ASS FEET.
What’s wrong with her pits? She’s hot!
Great cosplay, my only issue is that it doesn’t have contacts in for the two different colored eyes. Otherwise it’s near perfection. Nice find ^^
I thought the same thing, but heck I sent Icky the cosplay so he had something to post anyway. :3
How much is that if you’re from the Philippines? And, what site can I order it? The very reliable site please.. ^^
Hmm, there’s Hobby Search, Amiami and Big in Japan (google for url). Better order soon as I notice Hobby Search is already out of stock!
The Noise Manga Review you do was great! Makes me want to read it now.And sounds like my kind of Manga btw.^_^
Thanks! There’s no doubt that I’ll review more by this author since the action and visuals were outstanding. Even with the problems in story telling the good stuff was so good it made up for the problems and then some.
I’ve too, stopped reading Usagi Drop when the story skips the 10 year gap… not interested in the teenage life of Rin.
But, because of the boredom, I picked it back up, and surprisingly, the story twisted a bit and it made me keeps going back reading the series.
Please, read the latest chapter and I hope that it makes you hooked up with this series back.
I went and read the latest chapter and like I said in the review the 10 years after bit does have highlights in it where it becomes interesting, but overall it just wasn’t as interesting. I will read it until its all over since it doesn’t feel like there’s all that much left on the manga now.
Since the ending of the manga have you formed any new opinions? Specifically following such an interesting ending?
I haven’t returned to it since I wrote the review, but I guess I should. Since I wrote it the anime has come and gone and I couldn’t be happier with how that turned out. Would be interesting if they animated the second half as well, although I’d be perfectly fine with it never happening.
People are taking this law a bit too hard, it sounds worse than it is.
We do not pay 25% more, we’re not supposed to at least, according to the law.
Take steam, you already pay tax on steam, which means that they’ll have to deduct the tax currently there, prior to adding the 25%.
So well, in most cases we pay more, which sucks, but not nearly as much as 25%.
Currency exchange is way, way more of a problem, for basically all of Europe.
I don’t know what kind of taxes apple had in their store before the law though, so I can’t comment on apple specifically.
I was more interested in bacon-wrapped hot dogs than anything else. In fact, I made myself one. Was pretty good.
hi i was wondering if you had that costume in stock or anywhere im willing to pay whatever please email me on some info thank you : )
mon0r is a news site so we don’t sell costumes, you’d have to use a website like CosplayFU.com or find the costume on eBay for that. I recommend CosplayFU though.
This information is a little bit off because Apple also raised prices in their British store and lowered prices in some of the other ones, which means it might be indirectly a part of the decision for the Norwegian Tax Administration to demand taxes for digital products.
Though I still don’t like the idea behind it, I can remember them saying the main point of digital distribution was to lessen the load on the environment and therefore should not be taxed, on top of it being cheaper because no physical products has to be made or shipped through borders, but hey, everything for the government to get more money, right?
Quite right, there was no good reason to apply any tax on it, it’s just because the government wants money. :P
The price differences at iTunes are pretty close to 25%. I doubt Apple would just raise the price. The problem is that the Norwegian government already has a lot of income through other taxes, and that charging tax on low price virtual software is just pushing it. They don’t charge for imports before you hit the 200NOK limit, and downloading from the App-store is similar to importing.
Sooo getting this AND Madoka! Can’t wait!! I can only hope it will be out before the year ends!!
askjfk! Please let there be a Moe faceeeee! Thank you for putting these uppp!
Looks like u are in luck. Should be ready for PO just about now xD
If it doesn’t have a detachable head, this isn’t complete.
All nendoroids’ heads are detechable to change their facial expressions xD It’s just too bad that Charlotte probably would not be able to open her mouth~
season 3 plz
I’ve read most of what’s been released of Nana to Kaoru as well and I think it does the S&M scenes really well. It doesn’t ever go into the creepy realm but keeps it innocent and exciting with a great sense of tension. I also like how their relationship developed because you’re just waiting for them to realize their feelings for each other and to get over their reservations.
Never heard of this show, but it definitely looks and sound interesting. Seems to give off sort of a mecha-esque and futuristic feeling.
Love her expression in the second last picture. OH SHIT face always wins.
It’s utterly mind-blowing how many things in our world these days are considered carcinogens. Heck, in some countries even the air is considered carcinogenic. I guess we’ll all just have to live in ultra-sanitized hospital operating rooms. Oops, well I guess the sanitizer is carcinogenic too.
I love Mami the most- but I do not like Nendoroids. This one seems nice, though. I only had a few earlier ones- and man they were rather unpolished back in the day.
This one looks cute, though. The accessories are nice, too.
Yeah for nendoroid u either love them or hate them.
She is selling out at speed of light though xD. BIJ, Ami and Hobby Search have all closed POs on her.
=.=b
I like this very much. I need more of the little sister.
I am very certain there will be a 2nd season, there is just so much fun to tell still with his sister in school xDDDDDDDD
What a cute figurine set!
I would’ve expected it to be somewhere closer to 50MB.
Tried the game on my cousin’s iPod Touch… It can be best described as a Tower Defence game with Nendo RPG element…
Welcome Aboard.
Got it. <3
It isn’t a bad game, it can surely be improved however. Good Smile Company may be hiring a developer sometime soon – I assume.
Mirai Nikki is awesome i loved the ending i recommend it to everyone
Just like any review it’s my opinion that the ending was bad. If you liked the ending then that’s fine! Even with my reservations I do highly recommend it.
Did it mention anything about the studio handling it in the copyright info or anything?
Nothing of that information was released nor announced. We’re still looking into it, and will keep you up-to-date with what’s happening. Surely, there will be an announcement sometime soon – considering it’s coming this fall.
The more popular a show gets – the more votes they’ll get for this certain poll – it’s stupid like that.
people who vote in these polls suck ;x
Agree with the comment above. Don’t know how a show can be considered disappointing when the two “most disappointing” series hasn’t even gotten past 2 or 3 episodes. Give me a break.
Mmm trolly.
Yeah, these lists are worthless. Uta no Price-sama is simultaneously the best and second worst anime of the summer, while Natsume Yuujinchou is the 2nd-best and 6th-worst. They’re really more a study on how fickle and arbitrary the voters are then a way to rank anything tangible.
Dem Legs
I like my woman like I like my Dr. Pepper, 23 natural flavors and made in the US.
Icky loves the number 1 i bet ;x
I swear these posts are getting more and more HHHHNNNGGGG worthy every week. I could feel that electric tingle up my spine strengthen as I scrolled down the page.
Glad you like it :D
I’ve gotta say that tsundere Jesus is the most “HNNNNGH” inducing of them all.
She’s probably my favorite character in the series, so I approve of this post.
Wait a minute, I thought you approved every Tsundere post? :C
Haha, I’m pulling your leg. But a crappy series does sometimes churn out a lovable character.
Hell, this is the reason Mami is the best Puella Magi.
Ehh…it’s a no go for me. Release Miki already!
should be more episodes of this,this is just awesome and funny and for those that dont like it just dont watch it.. i mean no need to insult people’s work *tomphile
good luck on season two otokuri!
Oh my god there’s a Norio Wakamoto version.
If Norio Wakamoto says it’s going to be sunny, IT WILL BE SUNNY! The weather wouldn’t dare defy him!
If there was a Wakamoto version your forecast is going to sound something like tthiiiiiiiis and yooooouuuurrrrrr weatheeerrrrrr is going to be rrrrraaaaaainy.
Yeah, he loves to roll those r’s.
I lol’ed.
Meh…I’ll pass. I prefer the other one (GSC?) that was made earlier which had a similar pose but cuter looking face.
Well, I’d say the difference here is that Chiba is actually in Japan whereas those Toyota ads were in America.
And the fact that OreImo setting is actually in Chiba. That’s a plus.
While the detail to clothing and coloring is great, I can’t help but feel her expression is a bit too… plain and emotionless.
The expression looks a bit derp in my opinion.
I fell in love.is beautifull!!! I love this personification of amaimon!
I congratulate them on the website^^
DAT ASS.
*Nose bleed*
Dat ass is bleeding.
Yes sir, the soundtrack is certainly worth getting. If not only for that “ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWA” track. I think the main selling point of Gurren Lagann is the sheer amount of energy that it gives out. Hence, even the filler didn’t seem so boring. And that ending. That ending still gives me shivers just to think about.
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?
My favorite parts are usually the parts where everything gets bigger, and bigger and ever more epic. I think that besides the ending, the part where Simon and Lord Genome are on top of that huge tower is just win. I don’t know what it is about that scene that makes me cherish it so.
great review for a great series
I RT’d, hopefully more people will read this
The title of this manga caught my interest (as my shelf habits usually are) and I decided to read the review. I’m definitely intrigued with the premise and already have my gears spinning as to what becomes of the “game” set in motion between these two broken characters. I wonder if I’ll ever read it, but at least I have it in my mind. Thanks!
now that you point it out, it kinda sounds true
Onani Master Kurosawa is a really fascinating and impressive manga. It’s well paced and well written, and the characters are dynamic and realistic. You’d think this would be based on a true story.
Mine shipped on the 14th this month (via EMS as per requirements). It’s supposed to take 7 days. Still waiting…
That plus, haven’t been given a tracking code, instead coming up as “not available for this shipment”. What’s more curious is the (not-working) tracking link changed from Japan Post to Hong Kong Post.
Yeah… Expecting it to arrive this week (within July) but not holding my breath at the moment.
Since it’s EMS so do you have the right to contact them about the issue if it hasn’t arrived within the timeframe, especially since they haven’t given you a tracking number. Of course if you live a country like Brazil or so then it’s pretty usual for mail to be late like this.
Live in New Zealand and there are no delays to our postal system (that I’m aware of). That said, I know of some individuals from Australia who got their Mikus over a week ago.
GSC last night replied back to a one-and-a-half-week-old, politely worded ‘please-explain’ email that I sent them. This was straight after I sent them another email just a few minutes earlier. They said they would check on it, and that was it…
Hoping like mad that this doesn’t turn into a lost-in-transit case (even worse, torn open in customs). Had suffered something like this before in the past (though not with GSC) and it can be a total arse to rectify… Not to mention, this is supposed to be a birthday gift in a months time…
Give it another week then you can contact the shipping company about it, it’s insured which means you will be re-paid in full value what you paid for it, or you can try and get GSC to send you a new one if they aren’t very willing to fight about it. This is just a suggestions though of course, their response however is pretty sad because you’d expect them to check on it before responding so they could give you a proper response instead.
If torn open in customs you can also ask for insurance to cover it if the item was damaged since this counts as damage in transit.
Cheers for your suggestion. Indeed; at the end of the day waiting is the only option I have (that includes waiting for them to reply back to email requests, which at the moment seem to have a reply turn-around of approx. a week).
I might consider sending them my 3rd (politely worded) please-explain email in as many weeks but yeah… We’ll see.
Being opened up at customs is a worse-case scenario (worst case if damage occurs); this is supposed to be a gift for a fellow collector, and merely having the seals broken rather defeats the purpose in my opinion…
Having said all that, the author who wrote the above review on this page (FC); I assume that the above figure was received and opened in Japan?
FC is in the United States so it seems not everyone got problems with the shipment.
Now we just need the whole Vocaloid cast together and….
Eat poop!
Yes I’m really happy I decided to read it. Can’t really think of anything else quite like it.
It`s been a really, REALLY long time since Zero no Tsukaima 3. And I really hated that season. But, I guess, I do certainly recall fond memories of the adventures of Saito, Louise and the princess girl, so maybe this`ll turn out to be a good thing.
By the way, if they want to avert the same shitfest they brought onto themselves in the third season, they should mysteriously kill off elf-tits. Really. She`s an eyesore.
Thank some game/anime god up in the sky for this. Yes!
Mai waifu.
This story for me it’s perfect, it’s not like watching those US bad movies, for me it’s all perfect I like the characters, the plot, everything, I just were curious about how the hell it’s the lolita ? and how the lolita kills hikari ? I’m still trying to find an answer…
She needs a dao.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they make a 4th season considering the third season ended with a cliffhanger.
I was expecting it giving how well the first series sold…:P
WANT IT. So much better than Index…
Everything I see makes me want to to get it. I gather you’re not a fan of the Slice?
It’s a good series, I myself read it and like it as well as I found the anime pretty good. The anime is much about romance and economics though so it’s not for everyone.
I always forget Railgun is a spinoff. So much better than Index, even if the first season was a lot of filler.
hahahahahhahahahahahahaha
Hopefully the new antagonist is better then the first season’s I mean he was cool and all, but didn’t really have a good enough part in my eyes. Hurry up Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? Jigoku-hen I’ll be waiting
I’MA LOVE THIS SHOW.
Imagine “Ey dude, make a co-contract with me” in real Texas voice. Man, this dub is gonna suck as every other. xD
That’s simply your opinion. I personally believe that anime companies based in the US hire plenty of talented voice actors/actresses. Frankly speaking though, you sound like a cliche. Like every other fanboy/fangirl who pretends watching anime with original Japanese dialogue somehow makes them the ultimate fan.
I watch anime in the original dub, i’m not an ultimate anime fan. =/ aniplex aren’t too bad for dubbing as long as they keep the dialogue correct and it sounds okay i don’t mind.
pre-ordered the moment it was available, on AmiAmi though, only 5,400 something yen!
Just threw my wallet on my screen. SPLENDID
BOOBS.
Massive.
Tuturu!
Seriously. This is just too much.
<3
Test plugsuit looks so good on her.
Not too fond of this one.
:[
Why can I not moonspeak?
Here’s the thing… I love Oreimo and all, but I don’t think they’ll cast this show well at all.
Also- from what I understand they aren’t including the extra episodes that actually gave the show an ending. That’s a shame, since that ending made me much happier.
It seems this is one of the few worthwhile “manwha” released to this date. I only say that since I notice a bit of Korean text.
Of all the manwha I’ve read The Breaker and New Waves are my favorites by far.
HAHA!! It took me a while to get it!!
Haruhi much?
Cannot wait!!
I’ve already got this on PSP :/
Stupid situations – Nice. Seems like my kind of manga.
NIP.
Since she’s mai waifu – I feel obligated to comment every one of my waifu’s articles.
Honto desu ka?
Honto.
MAI WAIFU
I’m totally buying this.
Serve me.
GODDAMMIT, stop making want to buy shit. Pink is way too faminine ;3
What? You gonna slap it with a sausage?
its so awsome!
taiga is so cute!!
You know you guys like it
More than anything, the ambiance of it all gets my thumbs up.
It was the best game in the series so far.
Hmm…not sure if want.
I like the tan chick in the background more.
Boo
I prefer S-Ojou… :P
Well, how can you beat the teasing temptress? Suzutsuki’s gonna have your balls in a clutch. :O
this post seems well planned in advanced lulz
Trust me when I say that I whipped up this post in twenty minutes for Usamin alone. :3
Oh, great. Another event I can only watch and drool over from the other side of the world. I got my fingers crossed, alright. Haruhi is still one of the best series I’ve ever watched. And don’t mention Endless Eight, Disappearance more than made up for that.
Keikakudooori! Ruhahahaa.
But yeah, it’s awesome to see them cosplaying. Now, if only Moeka didn’t talk through her cell-phone…
Holy damn. I hope this rumour is true. I need my Snow Mountain Syndrome episode!
Damn! Hard mode is hard! Got my copy in the mail yesterday and was close to crying my eyes out. You don’t feel like a man anymore when a game manages to ass-rape you that bad.
Anyways, from the few hours I’ve played so far, it’s looking to be another great ATLUS game. Just wish there was an evoker somewhere. :P
I fell asleep. LOL.
Most favorable game of all time…
I dunno, I think they need to just give up and finally make more animations. Stop with the fucking game and marketing of it. I want another movie/series/something.
If only Ruka was there.
This sounds like a bad idea.
But on the other hand. 12 levels of being asked what you want to wish for. Only to click no thanks every time. Sounds amazing.
The real question is – why they have decided to choose the PSP system over the PSV.
No lack of boobs and panty shots there. Let’s see how severe the censorship of the aired version is as it was pretty reasonable in the trailer. Much more reasonable than the way shows airing now are censored. Oh and I guess we could watch it as well to see if it has an entertaining plot.
Most fan-service shows nowadays don’t really bring forward that “entertaining plot” unless you’re specifically talking about HSOD, which is way out of line here.
However, that’s my just opinion on whether fan-service anime really have the “plot” going. I mean, if you’re in it for the flashing pantsu and titty bouncing, then I have nothing against anyone that prefers that type of genre. Fan-service is the money making machine, and it’s still a “genre” that many consider “too much”. The end result, you know you still like all that skin.
Please don’t tell me this promo is Japan-only. >_<
I believe you have to order the magazine in order to fill out the form to win an autographed PSP.
Her eyes… Not sleepy enough… XDc
Indeed it isn’t.
Oh hey my counterpart lol
Where’s my sandwich?
Appreciate the quick review of this story! I’m a strong fan of .hack-like storylines and how they can affect both reality and the fantasy world the characters are placed in. I’d check this out just because it has the possibility of adding something special to “neuro” genre.
I would recommend mentioning in your reviews whether the book is available in stores or some online store. Otherwise, I have to assume it’s a scanlation. And I don’t really have time to read those. ^^;
Yeah I’ve thought about adding some general info like that and I’ll start doing it with the next review. In the case of Accel World you can only read scanlations of it in English at the moment.
I’d buy this only to have that Kyubey.
They’re merchandising a 50 minute OVA entirely too much.
Now, nothing correlates with the series. It’s nothing but free roam.
A bunch of renditions of characters that will never truly be.
As far as I am concerned, the games have no involvement with the canon.
If they make more of the animation- I’d be happy. But this is starting to piss me off.
I take it that bottle doesn’t actually contain any Dr Pepper?
What is this anime all about? he illustration is really nice.
Well, to start first. The title translated in English means “Flower declaration of your heart” and judging by a few things written on the website, it could possible be an anime that has to do with romance and sports.
The word (ジャージ) means tracksuit or some-type of uniform a student usually wears during P.E. class in Japan, but then again – beach, skirt, uniform – doesn’t click. I’m not sure yet, but I’ll be sure to keep you guys posted.
Absolutely fu*king sold at that illustration. For some reason, that is gorgeous. I probably have a thing for uniforms or something.
uhh…hhhnnngg?
I’m numb, cannot really spoken what i want to say…
It’s just elite class cosplay.
Ume Aoki is a female fyi
Oh, didn’t catch that. Thanks for pointing it out.
What I am most worried about is whether in-house niche titles will not make it out of Japan.
I already saw it happen on Nanashi no Game and Sigma Harmonics.
Why is that video over 8 minutes long? It’s both sad and tedious, perhaps like the experience playing the game will be!
It’s a promotional video; it has to be long in order to get people to buy the game. Plus, more chances to flash panties. Hurr Hurr.
Icky prolly already got it.
I actually wouldn’t put it past him.
This is pretty cute… which is odd since Madoka is so fugly.
I do share your sentiment of fixed posed figures being too… boeing… XDc
BLAH I WANNA PLAY
+1 this is a good smart post.
<3 you colin ;o
This is a very informative post. Good job.
HOOOOOOOLLYY SHI~
So pumped for this game.
Dota 2: “From the various leaked images, the UI and graphics are not as great as anticipated by the community.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Seriously, last hitting UI?
And also bad graphics and badly redrawn champions (As seen in trailer and images)?
Will try but not many great expectations.
I seriously doubt that Icefrog included a last hit UI
However, mana bars are apparently only visible to teammates (to keep the old DotA feel)
I replayed that video…for…I think 5 times now~~ Thanks for the update Icky-dono!
I don’t like it when visual novels don’t come out on PC because then it’s very unlikely they’ll be translated to English. There’s no doubt that this is a game that fans would end up translating since Chaos;Gate was completely translated and Stens;Gate is showing some pretty good progress in its translation as well. Oh well!
Peter, I think you meant Chaos;Head, other than that, 5pb never translate their PC games. Like you said, Steins;Gate & Chaos;Head.
Yeah listening to other people talking and typing at the same time is a terrible idea and you can’t edit comments so you will always look like an idiot here if you do typos.
I signed up for beta, even though I never played the original DOTA. XD Gotta love Valve, though.
I pre-ordered her in a heartbeat. I collect Nendoroids and Taiga is one of my absolute favorites. She’s so adorable. :3
Only boxed copies for UK and Russia. Other countries are in “rest of the world” region. Digital Download is region-free.
I originally found Usami kinda hot because I like rough girls in anime, and when she stomped on Jirou it was amazing. However, that doesn’t even hold a candle to when they meet up with Jirou’s sister. The way she moaned before kicking her off was just………………………………………..no further comment.
I hope this TV series is based on the GAME plot rather than a sequel to the OVA. The OVA plot was ok, but nothing exciting. The GAME plot seems more interesting and there is more action and BRS Gadgets (Bike and jet) are cooler.
The image itself does not give me hopes for that, but it will be nice to see BRS in a new adventure anyway.
So it’s a moe version of Detroit Metal City?
Watched the trailer and it appears it will feature exciting stuff such as failed cooking jokes and a visit to some festival that might or might not involve the cast dressing up in yukatas. Looks like a pure fan service and humor episode which isn’t all that surprising for an OVA.
The fact that I am considering this seriously warrants some self-reflection. Oh, and bring me Tsuruko and it’s a done deal.
Im not a big fan of sweet and sour chicken but I think general Tso and sesame chicken taste the same.
What are you talking about? LOL.
ALL MY MONEY! TAKE THEM GODDAMMIT!
FRIGGEN YEA
Sounds good.
I was a fan of Denpa Onna and Hidan no Aria when they aired. A second season for both shows is good news too me.
I would by it if it was released in the states but it is a very good show. I think it would be great if the went to England for part of it.
WANT WANT WANT, But ALAS!
Funds have run dry. FML
I thought Prince of Tennis already had an anime?
I apologize, it’s the “new Prince of Tennis” manga getting TV anime.
at first i thought it was gonna be a live action film of the anime ;3
Her name is Miyuko，not Tomia.
Holy crap you’re right, thanks for fixing the mistake. They look identical. ^^;
Yes,I think so.
fighting style looks like crisis core
WHAT THE FUCK?! NO! WHY?!
Ugh. Sometimes, Japan… sometimes.
I hate you.
I haven’t watched Blood C nor am I interested since the original Blood was kinda boring…
But this is hot. Now I’m interested.
Sounds neat.
But those three letters just made me flaccid.
MMO.
Also- this looks like a PS2 game. lolol
lol made by nexon eh, might try this
I’ve been debating buying the Deluxe edition for months now.
I just can’t validate paying for a Japanese CE game that I won’t understand.
Though the shirt and CD are enough to make me buy that shit. > >
Did… did I see some QTE in there? : o
Yay for the new season.
The movie was a blast, too. A short review available on my blog, if you’re interested.
really i really wanna see it
Not sure if interested…
DEFINITELY INTERESTED
This is Cherry Credits game also. A WAY BETTER PUBLISHER, no fatigue, no grinding. NExon sucks
The winner should’ve gotten a free Toyota instead.
Ew.
When more time is invested in drawing out how erratically the tits bounce rather than anything else (like maybe making sure the chins don’t look like they can cut through cheese), you know the anime is going to be bad.
no just no..
what is this i dont even
Interesting~ I’ll have to give this one a try. Reminds me a lot of Junji Ito’s ‘Gyo’
I pretty much agree with you. The length was frustrating, but overall I’m glad I read it. It has shown that it can throw in any sort of storyline to pad out the length, so who knows when it will actually end.
Cool recommendation! I’m eager to check it out. By the way, I LOVE the design of your site – very, very cool.
super cute!
she is (real) Kirasagi Saya!!!
Never…that’s when. Or maybe it’s going to be like Suzuka and Haruto and Eba get married.
Those are some long legs.
Ohohoho, but aren’t they sweet?
I approve of this post.
Though I am suspectant of it being influenced by the recent AMAZING episode 22 of Steins;Gate. :3
I’ma do Moe of the Month!
I wrote this yesterday, before the episode came out…and then it did. And I was all like “Shitshitshitshitshitshit, awesome.”
/respect author
<3 Kurisu
Is it just me or is Marie really hot?!
Reply: Not just you bro. She is hot!
/nod Kurisu would approve of you commenting on mon0r.
fufufu~Kurisu is so cute. I would have love to see a picture of her with Dr.Pepper though.
I’m surprised that Stein’s Gate didn’t get sued for putting in Doctor Pepper. Maybe they worked out a promotional deal or something…dang now I want one.
If you notice, every time they show a bottle of Dr. Pepper it reads Dk. Pepper instead (unless the show is using an extremely weird font that renders “r” as “k”).
But, yay! Awesome article on probably the best tsundere in a long time and I love me the tsundere archetype.
Ohoho, if I make a TV show, I’m going to insert Koka Cola so I don’t get sued. :3
I would say that shes up there with Senjougahara Hitagi. = ]
Only problem is….Senjougahara isn’t really a tsundere.
Some people would argue. But, I meant in terms of awesomeness. = P
True that, my moe-loving friend.
A heartwarming tale about a bunch of girls kicking balls. I will give it a look when it shows up.
This is a pretty well-written review.
And yes, Kannazuki no Miko is a series that is promising, but it suffered from a lack of length. I feel that if it were longer, some of the Side characters, as well as the Orochi, would have more depth.
tuturu! However, where is hand-to-the-sun pose? xD
Not sure.. ^^; still nice?
I watched it back in the days when it was coming out and never finished it thanks to those recap episodes. It just became too much.
Dubs are only good if you’re a fat and ignorant american who’s unable to appreciate cultural influences other than your own cheap and shitty “culture”. Learn to appreciate actual talented voice-acting which is done by voice actors/actresses whose gone through years of hard training, sweat and rejection in opposition to your sad, greasy, useless pigs.
Or, you’re an idiot and people like to hear dialogue in a language they actually speak. A lot of people, myself included, don’t particularly want to read things while watching things, and don’t speak Japanese. I will agree that some dubs are certainly bad and mangled, however, there are also plenty of good dubs out there.
So cute~~
As expected of mai waifu.
Since when was Nakamoto an ooooowwwwwwwlllll? (To emulate a certain speaking style)
He always pops out when you least expect it.
There’s time where I wished I had an iPhone, this is one of those time.
She couldn’t look more real than this.
I reviewed the manga version a while back http://mon0r.com/2011/07/01/aria-manga-review/
Both the anime and manga versions are really good, so seeing either of them is something everyone should probably do at some point. The very calm style of it might not appeal to you, but I think it does it well enough that it’s worth giving a chance.
Yay for Carnival Phantasm!
I’ve never seen anything like Carnival Phantasm because it pretty much requires that you play Melty Blood, Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night a lot to really get the jokes as it makes references to the game over screens for example of all three games.
I’ve played all of them. And CP really isn’t that good. It works better on the manga, Take Moon. I’m still watching it for the AAA segment just because I like the animation and Sacchin’s voice. F/SN segment was better than Tsukihime’s IMO.
Well, as someone that just acquired a few volumes of the manga (the DrMaster print), I can attest to the strange fluctuations in quality. There’s also a really strange quirk, in that they left all the Japanese text in for when a character is thinking, and simply type-set the translation to the direct side of it.
Example: http://s1.proxy05.twitpic.com/photos/large/390935246.jpg
Though, from what I can tell, the translations are pretty solid and for a 4-5 year old release, it’s not bad at all.
As lazy as the DrMaster version was in that way it was still better than what some of the scanlators did with later volumes in the manga that haven’t been released by them yet. The series isn’t really unreadable no matter which version you pick, but hardly ideal.
Well, the SoraOto movie is set to come out some time in the future. I believe they build a bit more on the story. Expect lots of ecchi.
Clearly a role model for little girls to follow. Chop up your brothers. Come on, get to it.
Even though Mirai Nikki had several pretty good characters Yuno just blows them all out of the water and is the biggest reason to read the manga and to look forward to the anime. Yandere characters are usually extremely entertaining I think.
Oh~
Very Nice!
I randomly found this series on the usual sites and started reading it. Didn’t expect it to be so good. Rea is absolutely hnnnnghh-tastic.
So pumped for the anime.
Yeah she’s a very cute menace. I really like that she’s actually dangerous and that her flesh eating tendencies aren’t played for jokes too much. The plot doesn’t feel as light as it easily could’ve been instead and that makes it much more exciting.
Oh look, panties.

We all use iOS and Android devices as well, so that’s definitely something that’s in the works.
KYAAAA~ Mayuri! This version is so adorable! It’d be great if they release the whole cast as well, especially the females. I love to see characters out of their usual clothes…HAU~
OMG!! Me want it so badly ♥♥♥ XD
Oh hell, I just bought it…my life end here…:P
I’m actually liking the series, I wonder if the anime will wait for the manga to finish before airing…:P
SOLD
Gonna try this out myself!!!
Hadn’t heard of this and it seems pretty interesting. Might check it out.
All those spoilers.
I’m mad this figure doesn’t come with her big finale gun.
It’s the first time I’ve heard of this as well. And it seems worth checking out.
From the demo the combat seemed way to tedious and while the style was interesting it looked a bit too basic technically. Too bad the full version doesn’t seem much better there. With revamped combat and I guess a whole lot of small things changed it could’ve been better, but as it is now the appeal of it seems very limited. I’ve seen people who think it’s good, but the demo really did not make me want to play any further as it started feeling like a chore even after 15 minutes.
This seems like a definite check out for me. Mecha + redjuice yes please * A*
Can never have too much mecha, ne? Plus it takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting—this series may end up being too good ^^
Whoah this weblog is fantastic i like studying your posts. Keep up the good paintings! You recognize, lots of persons are searching round for this information, you could help them greatly.
Thanks for sharing this. A great character and anime! :)
I may buy these purely for the Valentine version.
I like how her nose is almost the same as Catherine’s.
Wow, really awesome cosplay ;)
Kabooooooooom~! Blasted censoring!
Nice, a new episode!
But really, these prices are unhuman.
A Angry Birds movie, will people actually want to watch a movie about suicidal birds hell bent on killing pigs in the hope of saving an egg (has anyone ever wondered who will sit on the eggs once saved if all the birds are dead?). This has all the hallmarks of classic movie/game flops like Mario Bros, Street Fighter II (Van Damme version… oh heck all the live action movies) and many more. Someone will have to work really hard to flesh out this story line.
Can’t wait, hilarious series. Can’t wait for season two to start airing
I must admit I was about 20 when the series first aired in Japan, and found it was a brilliant and artful departure from the big robot genre that was circulating at the time. I must admit the final two episodes left me wanting a better conclusion, which Death and Rebirth and End of Evangelion attempted to solve (but didn’t really reach the logical conclusion many fans had hoped for). When I heard that there was a movie series coming to the big screen I was both excited and concerned. Evangelion 1.0 left me even more concerned as it gave of a “hen” feel about it. But after seeing 2.0, I must say I will be trolling the internet the day after 3.0 hit’s the cinema’s in the hope of finding a hastily shot copy of the movie to feed me salivating curiosity after the cliff hanger end of 2.0.
I look forward to seeing who will play Duke Togo. It’s a pretty tall order given you basically have to be the most manly man alive in order to do it.
One actor I can think of with eyebrows like that are George Clooney, too bad he’s graying now.
Holy mother of god $38,000 yen!? What is this, robbery?
Merry looked rather promising. But I hear a lot about how it wasn’t as great as it’s supposed to be.
It doesn’t need more John Doe.
It needs more Merry searching and eating doughnuts. It would have been great as a Yakitate Japan style food anime with Merry’s character designs. The Gate Keeper with a pastry tooth fighting off dream demons who siphon off ambition from young cooks!
Would have been a great series with food, moe and some combat action. Alas we ended up with a sub par series instead
It could have worked. Good character designs, interesting artstyle direction, but a completely snooze-worthy excuse for a plot. I also think they should have stuck with John Doe, he was pretty interesting. That detour through genericshounenville for the rest of the season was possibly the worst anime decision that year.
That corset is SOOO padded.
the “introduce your girlfriend to other people” feature actually seems like something I might use (…if only I had more friends who could understand Japanese)
thanks for introducing this amazing series to me
I started reading it and couldn’t put it down
I’ve placed an order for the Japanese light novel (there is only 1 volume) so I can slowly make my way through that before an anime comes out
I’m glad you liked it! While it has many familiar elements here and there I’ve seen in other series it just somehow makes it all come together in the best possible way and to me completely avoided becoming silly. I’m looking forward to seeing where the story goes next, but since it’s rather new I guess we’ll have to wait a bit.
I find it implausible that three people would be playing that game in the same couch and be so enthusiastic about looking at each others screens like that.
I was so excited. After watching a great finale, I see bold text “SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT” and that amazing theme song is playing. As soon as I finished the episode I ran into the chat screaming about it and expressing my… joy. :3
I hope it’ll be good!
Yuuuunnnnnnaaaaa!!!
This looks crazy intense, especially Scramble mode! I also believe I now have a huge crush on Lili. Love her fight style.
Seriously? Everyone wants a remake of Final Fantasy 7 and has wanted one forever and now they do this instead? I don’t think anyone asked for this.
Her embarrassed look feels very appropriate for how I would assume anyone who bought her would be staring at her.
Ohhhohoh. Exciting!
Looks like more of the same, which means another amazing fighting game with dazzling visuals and plenty of delicious oppai.
Thank god those shitty beach games are done with. > >
Okarin was right. She is a stickly woman.
But still-
/Grabs Dr.Pepper./
/Sips./
…
/Spits everywhere./
The whole collar thing reminded me so much of Deadman Wonderland.
That trailer felt a bit off to me. Sound effects were much louder than the music and in general it was a bit dull to me. Some interesting visuals at the start, but apart from that I’m still not sold on it.
This should be sold as two-part kit: QB and a gun to make that bastard look as piece of cheese :)
Restricted to ages 18 and up? Is he part onahole?
Despite whether or not he is… I want one.
But not for that price.
I sometimes wonder how stuff like this gets approved by editors.
This is what I want to hear! Hopefully there’s some more Renai Circulation, too
Portal 2 is game of the year.
I read this while ago. Hilarious shit.
I read some of this manga, and my god is it messed up. There is some good humor, but all in all I was left wondering how it got onto a mainstream manga website instead of one of the Hentai sites instead.
Simply shows that there is a market for anything and everything in Japan.
I found this series by chance as well. I like how the author has managed to so far get that fine line between comedy and a serious plot.
There are plenty of light moments, but there is always a real sense of danger and that she could happily turn into a flesh eating monster at any moment.
So far its good, I simply hope that it continues like this.
Huh. Is it a sign that there’s no constructive comments about Maji?
Maji really could go either way. It’s a new studio and while the trailers for it haven’t been very good I’m personally a fan of the game so there’s a lot of good material there for a good show.
trap?
I don’t think so.
Moeka’s cosplayer is SO pretty. I never found Moeka attractive (cause she’s a crazy bitch) until now.
I don’t know if it’s a guy or not. But she definitely added some extra something on her boobs.
. . . excess charisma? XD
Hello Po~! Are you perhaps done with this costume? If so, is it possible to buy it?
We only provide photos, we are in no way the cosplayer nor have the outfit for that matter.
I had no idea a second season was scheduled.
So excited.
I loved the first season.
Really?! Then definitely watch it ^^
I thought the first season was amazing~
The lightnovel is so good ， but the cartoon is terrible··
With apps like this and a lot of stuff being available on youtube it’s possible to stay up way too late watching anime on your tablet if you’re messing about with it in bed.
I do that all the time, usually why I wake up so late :p
There’s a light novel!? Are you squidding me!?
I’m really looking forward to seeing the release of this game! I already have her preordered at Play-Asia. I’m excited to see all the new costumes and songs available for the game (a few websites out there already have track listings and costumes). ^^
did you make it yourself or did you buy (if you bought it please tell me where or do you sell it pls pls i want it sooo bad)thx
good news Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko second season!
hidan no aria didnt enjoy much! manga is better!
I’ve seen that this exists but never gotten around reading it. Looks like something I’d like, so I’ll be sure to read it sometime.
I would definitely check out Sanctuary as well, in fact check out any of the works bu this artist, they all have a similar theme and great artwork.
This manga has about 20 volumes, but the translators are taking their time, so I doubt we will see the completed series for a while.
Ugly girls in anime mhh u must watch Green Green there’s one xd C:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3418/3860921415_6ff4c110cd.jpg
Well, not from Green Green but still as scary.
Harem shows do tend to be pretty terrible and usually don’t do the source material justice. There are a few examples here and there of shows that were nice, but more often than not they’re not very good. The upcoming Majikoi for example that you had a picture of I have played and I thought the game was rather nice with plenty of great characters and fun story lines. Will the anime version do justice to the original? Probably not! I do hope it has enough of what made the game so fun in it though so I’ll probably watch it.
Harem anime are pretty much a guilty pleasure. I watch them and have to admit have enjoyed my fair share. That doesn’t mean the story was any good, but of the ones that I enjoyed they usually have something such as good comedy moments that make them worth watching. They are short series that you can watch when you have some spare time, not necessarily deep or in-depth in any way, although there have been a few exceptions.
I watch them, and will continue to watch them, I do at least know that there are significantly better anime series out there to watch if I want my brain taxed, or simply want to watch a proper, engaging piece of animation.
Sounds like a fascinating manga, part surreal, part ultra-real. I haven’t heard of it, but I think I will give it a read now.
YESSS!!!! HIDAN NO ARIA SECOND SEASON!!! By the way… when will it be out?
That would be nice. Madoka was pretty good, especially because of the dark athmosphere. It wasn’t the usual mahou shoujo stuff.
i agree with you about deus ex HR. i think this game is an awesome EXPERIENCE, that puts on the table very inportant and real issues like transhumanism. however, i just dont think it will get the “universal” game of the year tittle. its an incredible game, but there are other great games that are waiting to see the light and we cant just simply get to conclusions right now. i wish the best for this game, and i sincerely want it to be remembered as one pf the generation’s best.
I wish poorfag is canon ;_;
Honestly, the fact that Madoka will be in it again is going to be… baffling.
Even after the first season, it still looks like it’ll wind up being as ugly as the first as far as animation goes. Haha.
Let’s just hope it’s better paced and that they add more girls- like all the ones they were showing towards the end. After Homuro has her arc, the show is pretty much done. So- they need a new character to involve into a catch 22.
If that is supposed to be Ika Musume speaking in the trailer… she somehow sounds different. And that… I am very angry about.
I just think that it’s a superior game almost by default compared to most games that came out this year and are about to come out because of the more open design for how you can approach every situation. I’d say for people that are more casual in their gaming habait something more controlled and linear like Portal 2 might be the best game of the year, but for someone like me who has been playing games heavily since the 90s Deus Ex 3 is just much more interesting.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Skyrim is designed, but I’m guessing it’ll be like Oblivion and Fallout 3 where you got an open map, but every quest can only be solved in a single way and the only difference you can make in the experience is to choose whether you hit the guy with an axe or you blow him away with a fireball instead of in Deus Ex 3 where you would be able to do it in several more meaningful ways where your choice would affect future quests and dialogue scenes.
Of course none of these games are bad and I think Portal 2 for example is pretty much one of the best and most polished completely linear games I’ve played, but after you finish it there just isn’t much more to get out of it since you know how to solve all the puzzles.
I hope that Urobuchi guy doesn’t try to ride on the success of Madoka without coming up with something truly amazing.
Urobuchi’s the writer of Madoka lol. First draft in 2008.
Shana!!!
Looking forward for Shakugan no Shana III
Still half-pissed it’s a kid MC now, the fact that it’s drawn by the same character designer from Inazuma Eleven isn’t helping. Hope the story will be good to the point I forgot about the design.
I think the best way to go from
this point is intead of an alt universe to go
with an adventure with homura attempting to “free madoka”
or maybe prove to the others that she was real.
or maybe. . .
a new thing for puella magi’s to worry about
like a mystery puella magi who is trying to
recreate something close to how the old ways
puella magi’s worked in which they try to stop.
of course a follow of everything to do with the past
timelines in detail might not be that bad eather
. . .or maybe a break in the time continuem
that makes those puella magi’s
from the past appear in the future
(and vice versa)
its got more pottentual than people are giveing
it credit for and this is
urobochi we’re talking about im pretty sure
we’re in for one hell of a
second series if it comes about!
This is one of those old classic series where the dub is actually worth watching. Unlike Denjin-Z I actually think rewriting the script can be to a series benefit and the way many of these old OVAs were rewritten was to add plenty of profanities that just makes it more fun to watch. I have a soft spot for all these old 80s and early 90s OVAs that are a bit trashy, but have plenty of charm, cool sci-fi visuals and usually also great main characters.
Omg! I’m so excited about watching it!!! I’m gonna watch it like 20 times!!!
I need Riko Mine fig
Oh, I looove this anime, I’he been waiting soooo long for the 2nd season, I can’t stand it anymore!:D:) great job!
I saw this like… the day it got put up on hobbylink.
I am tempted to pre-order it.
First Moment, Extremely Sweet Girl being friendly then become Crazy Bitch ! It have compared with Yangire.
Yandere-Love Sicko, Love Freak gone wrong, Psychtic Lover.
Yangire-Cute Pyscho, Sweet Psycho, Cute but Psycho, Cute But Phsycho things even out.
That’s hilarious. I love how the elitist looks down on Americans because of their “culture”. This is extremely ironic, considering that most of american culture is integrated with the world as is. The movies you watch? Probably made in Hollywood. The video games you play? Most likely made in America. The many methods you use to travel, such as a car or plane? Invented in fucking America, dipshit. Get off your high horse, asshole, or go without any American inventions and products for a couple of days. And fucking learn some grammar, while exercising your basement dwelling ass.
I got to be honest and say that I only read the manga after the I picked up the anime. Basically, I read the “10 years after” volumes of the manga since the anime stopped short of it. I must say that when I first picked up the anime, it was surprisingly refreshing; it made me want to share in the joy of raising Rin and to ultimately see Daikichi send Rin off to the world as an adult. Given all the sacrifices he’s made to accomplish this selfless mission, I think it would have been the proper way to end things. I was not so much bothered by the age difference as I was to the whole situation: I do not think normal people would raise a child to be their lover, unless the “parent” in question is actually a twisted pedophile. Even though they are not blood-related, some bonds have stronger ties (and can never be changed) than simply being of the same kin. To be honest, I do understand that “love just happens”, from Rin’s point of view, but what I don’t understand is how Daikichi suddenly, without much agony, decides he’s going to go through with it, even though it was after two years. I guess the author stayed true to the end by depicting Daikichi as somewhat of a free spirit, since he seemed very accepting of all situations, even at the end. On a tangent, though, I believe that Daikichi wouldn’t have been such a fascinating character and an amazingly good father to Rin had he been depicted otherwise. Just because of the fact that he is depicted as thus, does not mean that the story should naturally progress to the point where they become lovers. Simply put, Rin loves Daikichi as a lover, Daikichi accepts this, but just because he is accepting of this doesn’t mean that he should change his view on Rin. I believed it when he said that he will always see Rin as his daughter, because words like that don’t come cheap and can only be said when they truly define the person himself. I am not hating on the ending because of what happened; I am hating on how it happened. The least the author should have done was to make Daikichi struggle long and hard with the change of events, so as to give a more convincing argument to the audience to believe that it could not have ended any other way. As it stands, I am not sold.
I completely agree and I also picked up the manga after I watched the anime. The anime I absolutely loved, and felt that it deserved a good read too. After reading the “10 years later” chapters I started to dislike what was happening. As I watched the anime, I felt some sense of small drama but it felt like the manga was turning more into a romance than a slice of life. The ending is what bothered me the most (and it seems to you as well from your comment) because of how it all happened. The way the author decided to change them from their “Father/Daughter” relationship was kind of a disappointment.
Personally I will say that the anime’s ending is my true ending. I preferred how they kept it much more open on how things will turn out because it was left off on a good note. He learned that being a parent isn’t easy, but sacrificing for your child is something a parent is willing to do. How much better of a message can they give than that?
She’s undeniably HOT, but…but…but…she’s not a loli! :P
I LOVE HER.
Is gift of sisters or girlfriends?
Ah, the traditional ass – DAT ASS.
Did I mention that Suzuha is awesome, like Kurisu-level awesome?
Honestly, after watching the series twice I can’t decide who’s my favorite.
I’m glad to say that I read through all three chapters and enjoyed them. Granted, the tsundere is probably the most interesting girl at the moment (being tsundere and all) while the older sister and little sister type androids were carbon copies. They had substantially less development compared to the tsundere (as little as it was).
That is awesome news!
I for one prefer Suzuha…
I thought it was a really nice series. Didn’t really like it as much as Sharkface did, but I did really enjoy watching it so it’s well worth seeing I think.
LOLOL
Have you lost it? LOL.
Well actually, not yet.
I remember when I started watching it and heard Kurisu. I was like omfg this is a Tsubaki from BB. Later I then found out it was the same VA. Kurisu is just my favourite. I love them all though ^-^ Can’t wait for the translated VN as well. I’ve always particularly enjoyed 5bp VNs AND their adaptations. I turn into a rabid fanboy(girl) with this anime haha.
That’s good news (that the original director is returning). I’ve been clamoring for more ZnT for ages and you actually don’t know how excited I am for this series to be back. AND Shakugan no Shana!? EXPLOSION ALL OVER THE WORLD AND IN MY PANTS TWICE.
Looks nice. That is all.
Bravely Default? What a weird name. Almost as weird as Edge Maverick or Waver Velvet. Also, look at the thighs, mmmm..
Well no doubt we all squeal in ecstasy during the Servant summonning process… XDc
Even tho I’ve never read the novels, I’m more than enough Fate fan thanks to UBW and Extra… ^_~
2nd episode in a couple more days can’t wait!!!
Beware of the spoilers then! 2nd ep should be airing in about 15 minutes from now by the way.
I found this to be entertaining, but rather frustrating as well. All the time I kept thinking how this and that thing was bad, but I guess instead of being terrible it just became trashy and thus still worked as guilty pleasure.
I wonder how many people will be sitting there waiting for Zouken to get murdered and don’t know that he’s actually still alive in Fate/Stay Night. Can’t think of a more creepy dad you could have.
She’s beautifull but not loli :(
Pretty much, its a terrible manga in many ways, but the artwork is nice and it is entertaining. So essentially its a piece of pretty trashy entertainment that has been done better elsewhere but is still entertaining.
Funny how I’m outside as i write this – but nevertheless, I still need to get through the Heavens Feel story arc. After all, if I don’t, the Fate/Zero anime is going to beat me to the punch with a few specific details in relation to Sakura.
Nooo me gusta !! :S yozo<3 es hermosa ensima esa peluca nada que ver horrible ¬¬
I’m surprised to find someone who liked this film! I thought it was pretty horrid, with the final sequence just totally going off the map.
I’m a huge Gianna Jun fan – she’s a very good actress, who is equally adept at humor, touching scenes, and kicking butt. Unfortunately, this was a very poor production and both the screenplay and direction misused her talent. I think Jun’s mediocre command of English, too, had a major effect on her performance.
As I said, the movie is worth a rental, nothing more than that. Don’t get me wrong, the movie is pretty bad…I just liked the action scenes pretty well and the effects were decent for the fight scenes, even the short and uninteresting finale.
Why do you all have to fight? Enjoy the anime and ignore one another.
Dr. Pepper + Mayushii = Tutt turruuu… :p~
Wow, the Mayuri Shiina cosplay looks soooo good!
I love Inami, she’s my favorite character from Working’!! and her hair color is my favorite! Awesome article by the way, would love to see one on Shiina Mayuri….
Her friend’s name is Hizuki Yuuki.
Ah, thanks for the heads up! I was getting bothered by not knowing her name.
You’re welcome/
Never played an Atelier game yet, but this figure looks great!
I had no interest in the game, but this kind of makes it look good!
I like to try it but i haven’t chance to win a beta key if you have can send to me ty :)
Yeah neither have I and I agree that’s a great looking figure.
It’s a wonderful Cosplay, but that’s not Deuce. That’s Cinque she’s cosplaying as.
It’s Deuce. Is it not?
It’s a wonderful Cosplay, but that’s not Deuce. That’s Cinque she’s cosplaying as.
Azu-nyan~
This shirt looks really good, but is very expensive IMO.
Nice, can’t wait for the new One Piece movie.
The redesign of the site looks good also :)
Any of K-ON characters are fine to me but pricey.
I would want that beach ball to actually be an air filled ball so I could take it and bounce it against the wall. Then they’d have themselves a customer!
It’s funny I actually found this anime when I accidentally clicked on one of those anime wikipedia sites but I ended up loving it. Watched the anime and loved the character developments and am now starting to read the manga. Blown away by it
I’ve been keeping up with the series since I reviewed it 4 months ago (I appreciate the late comments!) and it’s still really good. I hope the anime keeps going as well.
I hope the protagonist will look lovely in his female disguise. Everyone loves a trap.
I haven’t seen this, but I did watch all of Blood+ and that show really ran out of money towards the end. Nice to see that they fixed that in Blood-C even if they instead screwed up in the more important bit of actually having a compelling story.
Very, very nice.
Indeed very nice! I love it^^
Great post! I love Usagi Drop, but I haven’t read the manga. I always thought the anime had a great ending and I had a feeling that if I read the manga it wouldn’t leave me as satisfied just like the anime did. It appears that my senses were right! I think that this anime should definitely keep it’s as you said – optimistic view on parenthoood. But you know . .when a great story sells, people can’t help but continue the story :)
It really annoys be that we aren’t getting rid of region locking still. Why carry that over to phone apps and games as well?
I hope it doesn’t suck, but Japan doesn’t exactly have a track record for producing quality live-action films in recent years.
MGS 5 should be an eroge.
Thanks! I assume the anime was successful so it would not surprise me if there was another season covering the rest of the manga. Kinda hoping that doesn’t happen as it’s just fine the way it is now where the story ended.
Oh, come on, MGS 4 had a perfect ending. Solid Snake was old and dying. Now who’s going to be the new Snake? Please not Raiden…
The new snake would most likely be Peter Hasselström. That gets my vote.
^This.
The solid snake is in my pants.
Heh. This series is probably one of those “Better than it Sounds” Anime.
It is better than it sounds. What can get better then Lolita?
Why do you make loli fanservice sound like a flaw..
I’m not. I’m just pointing out that not everyone may enjoy loli fanservice like others might.
It isn’t a flaw, I’m just pointing it out that not everyone would like it.
I wish I had a beta key, been playing dota for 6years.
I’d appreciate it if you have an extra to send. thx
[email protected]
That’s pretty cool! I will download it for sure. Eri is one of my fave voice actors^^
Looks pretty trashy. First thing you saw in the trailer was tentacle rape and you had women moaning over the logo at the end.
Oh I hope Microsoft Japan keeps releasing these kinds of voice packs and backgrounds in the future. The Nana Mizuki theme they released at the Windows 7 launch was both delightful and annoying.
Cool! Too bad that’s in japanese T_T
<3
Oh god, yes! I’ve waited far too long for this, and now it’s almost here! I can only hope it’s still as good as it ever was.
“Let’s take a nap together!” is something I can get behind. Whatever you’re doing can probably wait a bit, so let’s nap.
I’ve never read Liar Game but always had it on my pile of stuff to read at some point. Maybe I should bump that up the priority list.
Candy Pop Nightmare conjures images of some bright and colorful room filled with somewhat dissonant but happy music and dancing people eating candy. Everyone partying is ignoring the man sitting in the middle of the room screaming in horror.
Can someone plz upload this somewhere ? I cannot download it anymore since it was limited :/
Turns out I still had it on my desktop so I put it here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AOM2R3X0
Fumino is my wife! So please avoid watching her too much… :P
Sure, sure ;)
downloaded, thx
so…
which file used for which program event…?
the first 3 files :
11otsukare.wav => exit windows
12hai.wav => windows logoff
13okaeri.wav => windows logon
the rest……. :3
I like Fumino’s character design (and shimapan!), but she was absolutely terrible in the anime (they made her way too tsundere for the sake of being tsundere).
I don’t know much about the light novel, so I wonder if she better in that.
How about featuring Ryouko Ookami as the next tsundere? She’s probably forgotten at this point, but I just finished watch the anime she’s in whose Japanese name is way too long to type out so that’s why I brought her up.
I’ll have to agree with you on that one, buddy.
Ookami was in that anime with the slingshot boy wasn’t she? I guess I’ll get to working on her article some time in the future (that is, if no other suggestions pop up).
Yes, she was in the anime with slingshot boy.
Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi … something like that – what a mouthful. :S
This reminds me I need to eat more vegetables.
Love the white hair.
As is expected of mai waifu.
Weren’t we done with Kenshin? This feels like a complete waste of time.
With a staff like that I expect people to shit bricks over it. And it will probably be justified as well.
Love ads that cover entire trains like in that second vid.
i don’t see a problem at all with dubbing. The japanese do it for american cartoons and so does alot of the world. So get the hell over the fact that they are dubbing it and just go into forms and -Beep- about it there. Because those are the only people that do.
on a happier side note: i loved this anime in the original voices. but i cant wait to see it dubbed 8] and i cant wait for the manga comeing out by yen press next year! 2012 is gonna be a good year 8D
I like, ill give it a read when I have the time!!
I am so ready for the Troll-Sis anime adaptation. I’ve longed for this series to get adapted for some time now; so happy to see it get green-lit.
Yeah the manga is pretty good so this has a lot of potential to be fun.
hey I see an IKEA shelf; the EXPEDIT (I work at IKEA lol)
What you said was LOL-worthy.
The Resident Evil series is one I really like, but oh boy are their story lines stupid.
Sounds like something that could work. Although I will never buy it as all those series frustrate me at this point with how incredibly long they are. I’ll give them a look once they’re over, so in about 10-20 years maybe.
That figure makes the game look a lot better than it probably is.
pls give me 1 beta key…i really need it…i like ply dota so much…plsssss
Hahaha, what a waste of time, money and just a little effort (since making this bull is about as hard as using the bathroom) and what’s with that title? Regardless, it’ll likely be a hit.
Unless EVERYBODY hates Naruto now… which unfortunately isn’t the case.
Let’s hate Naruto together Sharkface.
/brofist
You forgot to mention that this game is going to be sold exclusively through the Nintendo store and at Gamestop.
Also, I’d like to note that junk like this will get a release due to petition but somehow Megaman Legends 3- with over one hundred THOUSAND supporters has been being cockteased for the last X years.
I like the short hair version the most.
Very nice!
A cosplay of a derative character? FAIL.
That looks like quite the game. Wow.
Tasha <3
i would love to get that but its too expensive >.<
oh hellllssss yeah!
im looking foward to this anime adaption
it also has a manga adaption
Sounds like a silly plot concept that could work. Especially if they keep it a secret who the sister is until he actually commits some incest. But maybe it isn’t a story with subtleties like that.
I wrote an impressions article of the manga adaption a few months ago and found it to be quite good. Unless they somehow mess it up badly I expect this to be popular. It has plenty of entertaining psychotic characters in it and a plot that keeps you guessing.
Nobody releases games at such a glacial pace as Blizzard. Much like Half-Life 3 it feels like this game has been in development for a thousand years as this point.
cant wait its gonna be tight ass!
to bad each chapter is only like 10 pages(or 12)
but this manga is still very cool and i love the newest chapter were he goes to the movie with his cousin
Yeah I can’t wait to see what happens next since he’s getting bolder now.
I’m all for this, especially since Production I.G is in charge. Really looking forward to it now.
Contemplating getting this and selling my Sentinel version. Alter’s Panty looks far better, and the sculpting job is definitely nicer-looking.
i didnt know that bakuman was also known as bakuman!=p
You almost got me there. It is actually known as “Bakuman.” with a period.
Having read both Elfen Lied and Nononono I’m looking forward to this quite a bit. I thought Nononono was a big improvement over Elfen Lied so yeah I’m stoked.
Excellent. I hope someone puts up videos of what the trains will be like.
Easily one of my favorite new series that I started reading this year. Picked up the first omnibus volume from Seven Seas (which compiled the first three volumes) and loved it. Got the fourth and, most recent, fifth volume and enjoyed them even more so. Blood Alone needs more love.
This post is long enough that calling it first impressions is a bit of a stretch, especially since you watched 10 episodes of it! Anyway, I read it all and it seems I made a good decision in not watching more than the first episode which I thought was one of the worst things I have ever seen. That it is somehow selling well on blu ray must be thanks to fans of the light novel or something.
Even if I only watch a couple of episodes it’ll probably still be as long as this one anyway. Since I talk mostly about what’s happening in the first few episodes. Excluding the Toori’s part of course.
Personally, I don’t mind the english dub, I could take it or leave it. I’m not all that crazy about Madoka, Sayaka and Kyouko’s voices, kinda sounds like they’re trying to hard, but Homura and Mami on the other hand, I’m pleased with.
I don’t really think it’ll be a horribly bad dub, I’m pretty sure we’ve had worse. I say at least give it a bit of a chance, it’s not like someone’s forcing you to watch it.
Is it me, or does Orgun’s design strike an uncanny resemblance to Tekkaman Blade?
Does the show ever reveal whether or not she can snap chopsticks in half with her butt cheeks?
Unfortunately, such a vital question has been left to our imaginations. Perhaps OVA content later down the line.
I reviewed the manga version back in august http://mon0r.com/2011/08/tasogare-otome-x-amnesia-manga-review/ The manga is pretty good, but the art quality became very inconsistent later on. I assume the anime version will not suffer from that so it will probably be good.
Updated!
Oh no! To much kawaii!! I want it now! ^_^
thats pretty tight ass. to bad she not doin so well in zero right now
man this show is bomb ass.
its one of my mst favorite animes of the fall season along with zero
It seems there is a bug that requires people to log onto mon0r in order to comment. We’re getting right on it so that you’ll be able to comment in no time at all.
Your face.
Problem fixed, comment away, folks!
There is an alarming lack of penguins in this post!
I know that a lot of buzz has been generated about Penguindrum but I couldn’t get into the show no matter how much I tried. Maybe because it’s more josei than seinen?
Hell yeah, super hyped about more .hack!
Excellent job, man. Pretty much agree with that list, though I still need to get around to Mayo Chiki (waiting for those BDs).
The BDs are going to cost you a pretty penny methinks. :)
But hey, watching Kanade and Subaru in high definition has got to be worth it right?
This has been a recent favorite of mine, or rather, more of a guilty pleasure. What lacks in story is made up in the personality of the characters, namely Tomoko. It reads much like a 4-koma, yet it’s in a standard manga format, which is probably one of the draws to it. It’s easy and fun reading.
Like many comedy series it doesn’t have much more than a setup and then does several shorter one chapter stories instead of a big story arc. Usually these kind of series start sucking bad once they try to tell a longer story since they try to add drama instead of sticking to telling jokes. I hope this is a series that does the transition to longer stories well because it’s pretty much inevitable to happen at some point.
no horizon? i thought it had the highest dvd sell…
It might be selling well but can you really say it’s a great show with a straight face? It might have interesting designs and stuff like that, but as far as telling a story it’s an incomprehensible mess.
i think the show is very unique and the action scenes are petty bomb and the story line is very cool. i wished the LN were translated to english even though its a couple thousand pages.
I tried to base it off of how enjoyable each show was rather than how popular it was. BD and DVD sales don’t matter much.
The director should make a second season of ‘Hidan no Aria’ since the story plot is not clear and fans need to learn more about the characters. Especially Kinji and Aria’s relationship.
I agree with almost everything but I personally would rate Nichijou above Mayo Chiki. I also might have ranked Gosick over Dantalian no Shoka just because Gosick had a more complete ending, but that is a tough one.
Gosick suffered from a horrible male lead and a rather obtuse story in the latter half of the series. As for Nichijou, it’s a toss up since they’d both be on equal levels with each other. Then again, I arranged the shows by season, so there was a limit to everything.
Can I suggest you make this an unofficial rating that isn’t based on what mon0r has agreed too? Surely, some of us would agree with most, but I, myself, has never watched Dantalian no Shoka.
Maybe a revision in your sentence at “As always, we strive to present interesting articles to our faithful believers and as such, take a gander at mon0r’s top 12 anime list.”
Thank you, Tommy-san.
Fine, fine. But that means you and the team ought to put together another list if not at all.
I WANT TO GO. I MAY JUST HAVE TO DO THIS.
Props to her for getting the red right eye
plss give me dota 2 beta key this is my wish for this christmas plsssssssss email [email protected]
sir give me 1 gift invite or beta key!! dota2 :( pls!! my steam account eigra316 plss!!
my wallet is not reay
Wowww!!!!!!! This Takuto cosplay is so handsome and sexy *o*!!
Personally, the coloring and the fact they kept the original box-design style is wonderful.
As for the design. No. Just…no.
It’s so stereo-typical and does not represent the American Music Industry whatsoever. Needless to say, I was VERY disappointed.
I saw A LOT of other designs that were slightly patriotic (a red-white-and-blue headset here, stars on the belt there) but not as “in your face” as this. It looks like the Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleader outfit and although this is only used for Promotional purposes, an American industry major would laugh at this or WORSE, take this offensively. / I / couldn’t even take this seriously. I honestly thought this was A JOKE or some horrible mistake.
May I remind you that there is a possibility have copyright issues with NFL for the outfit too. It’s TOO SIMILAR TO THEIR CHEERLEADERS OUTFIT.
That’s really all have to say. I apoligize for the long-ass comment and/or rant .______.
is this like mid 1990′s?
Meat isn’t meaty enough.
I really had my skepticism to this show before I started watching it. All I read of comments were really similar to this review.
I agree with some of the points here. The fanservice is exaggerated, and pulls attention from the plot which is quite difficult to understand. They do this to make the show more humorous, but go a bit too far.
The whole show is based on humanity once reaching the level of god’s but somehow losing it, and therefore trying to regain it by simulating history. Because while they were in the “O so God world”, Earth became uncharted with hostile creature. Apart from that it’s typical japanese style war/political tactics. Normally you’d think shows like these would be serious, but this one really takes a relaxing, yet smart approach.
I notice that some of the subtitles are off (translated wrongly), and give a wrong impression of what the characters are actually expressing. Directly translated they might be closer, but Japanese cannot be translated directly with just a piece of audio or text.
The main character to be at least actually seemed smarter than what a lot of people might interpret. He clearly knows how to debate, and to step in on the right moments. He played tactics throughout all the talks, although that might bore people who expected him to fight.
Furthermore… questioning why they use horses? Well, the whole point is to “recreate history”. I know there’s a big contrast here, but that’s the point! It’s supposed to be like this.
What I am most curious about is why the author here doesn’t even try to interpret the message of this whole animation. It’s clearly mentioned all the time. Parallel lines, can they cross each others? Can two opposite objects work together? A perv and a normal woman, Two lesbian witches? Contrasts.
Then the humour. For a Japanese, this is typical humour. It cannot be translated. That’s why I get it that some people might get bored of it, but please understand that you’re not the designated audience to begin with. The curry-guy? Well, Japanese people love adding strange culutral things to their work. Curry is very popular here, and when they hear “India”, a lot of them will think of curry. Just like they often picture “black” guys as pro boxers, or just huge persons in general.
That’s all. I think people should try to watch it despite the comments. I really liked it, but be prepared to pause the video a few times in order to interpret the plot.
Subtitles will always not be %100 accurate, yes everyone knows this. But, they certainly catch the character’s message. Believe me, I did try to understand what they were actually saying without the subs, specifically to avoid this problem. As far as I can tell, it was pretty similar. I’m assuming you meant the wrong subs is in the ‘Self-Centered’ section. Though I’m not sure this was a few months ago.
I see, I might have missed the ‘recreating history’ part. However it’s only a valid argument on the ‘why use horses’ part, which is only just a nitpick. I didn’t interpret the whole anime as ‘parallel lines that can cross each other’ because there’s no clue at all! And two opposites working each other is nothing new, a perv and a normal woman? P-01s is anything but normal, I didn’t see it as one. and two lesbian witches? I don’t really see anything contrasting here. It’s just two females who loves each other. And lastly, keep in mind that I’m only reviewing the first eleven episodes of Horizon, the message is still not apparent to me at the time. I also already admitted that Toori is a pretty smart guy, remember when he ‘purposely’ pulled Honda’s pants down to dissolve the tension? It was a smart move, subtle, but very smart. And I never said the curry jokes aren’t funny, I love it, why wouldn’t I kept mentioning it? And finally, I have stressed in the review that pausing is not the way to go, it’s a nuisance. It seems my points still stands, I assume you agree with it. Still, overall I conclude that I still like the anime.
Should also mention it’s released for iOS. :)
I agree with most of these series … except for the one about peeing on little maido-sans. That one was just scary.
is this really true?,. and can you give me the link of its official website? :))
all of these are pretty good even the one with the girl that gets peed on ( i like ecchi). but what are u guys gonna do for next year if there isnt any good new manga in 2012?(most likely not) and a good amount of these manga werent made in 2011.
im not complaining im just asking a question.
(i read most of these and love them)
Right now I have about 40 different series on a list of stuff to review and many more I’ve come across that I haven’t gotten around putting on the list so there is no lack of potentially great manga to review. I’d be very surprised if we’re here next december and I can’t find anything good to put on the best of list.
well thats all good.
i like this site i found it like a mounth or 2 ago.
i got a lot of good recamendation for manga and anime from this site.
Thanks.
Is it free? Whatever I’m giving it a shot
its free and its the bomb!
Haha. I agree with you. Rushuna is very much like Vash the Stampede. Both have blonde hair, and both are exceptionally skilled with the gun. Except Rushuna is a really sexy girl with large breasts…and is less goofy.
Yeah I agree with both of you I really enjoyed this show, Rushuna was great as sort of a female Vash the Stampede heroine and her character in addition to her sexiness and fanservice had a similar fun and charisma to her, plus I loved her gunslinger side whenever she got to kickass (and the badass shots with the hat on like in the first ep) and that reload.
In fact, I really wish they had been able to make this a 26 ep series so that they could have brought the show to the next level with more time to tell the story in a fuller fashion or make it even bigger and more detailed like Trigun was able to do with it’s double runtime.
Thought this show was a lot of fun.
But she has the same expression in every single shot. :/ It’s a good cosplay, but it’s not a really good photo shoot if it’s the same expression in every picture. It makes less of an impact, even with the posing. >:
huray for ecchi fanservice!!!
omg i cant wait for 2nd season
.. LESBIAN.???
.. kawai!!
I really loved this anime. I really want a second season but I kinda want to see a relationship development between Kinji and Reki because she was one of my favorite characters, even with such little screen time of her.
i really want second season really really really bad just everything about the show was amazing i don’t think i can live without it.

Been reading translated scans of this and it’s pretty great. Definitely something that deserved being licensed.
Not an erotic manga reader, but I may have to give this one a try. The artwork is incredibly nice on the cover, or my eyes are just playing tricks on me.
Yeah the artwork is outstanding.
This “otaku bait” you speak of is omni-present in most manga translated. Looking down on cheesecake in Japanese manga will only lead to continously bitchy reviews.
Nintendo always uses slightly dated hardware though, to keep prices down, so it’s no surprise it’ll be out performed by the 720.
Also, 720 is a very unoriginal name…
High five on the 720 comment. I guess people would now have to do a full 720 and walk away.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080814191737AAyxK2j
With this full 720 thing, people will just get dizzy.
I thought of hentai when it said erotic manga… or is it like Sin City or something with the sex?
They better realase it in America lol. Since the 3DS is region blocked.
At times, you just hate living in your country… Nothing interesting like this ever happens!
Sasuga Desune Tomia chan ★★★★★/★★★★★
That’s great news!
I hope this is how nurses of the future will all look like.
If I could thumbs up your comment, I would thumb it up until I die.
I WILL CHERISH AND LOVE THEM FOREVER IF ONLY THEY WERE MY SISTERS..
My predictions are that a lot of people will try it at first, until they realize they can get a decent bowl of ramen for 800 yen. I’m a bit torn — I think if it’s still around on my next trip to Japan, I’ll probably check it out for novelty’s sake. But 800 yen for instant ramen? I just don’t know if idols are worth it…
I’ll ask the first question then . . . How do you get to study in Japan?
Here’s a delicious 3D Mayoi to go with this post… http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii290/neoprolacus/AFA11/Day_02_03/AFA11_Cosplay_12.jpg ^_~ (Sauce: http://yunam0n.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/transformation-cosplays-of-afa11/)
You should have done Tsukasa, but whatever. Loli snails are always fine.
nice
This is a terrible review. You didn’t go into the individual character arcs and you completely underated it.
This game has a huge fan base. Wonder why that is? Because it is a good game. I will admit that the art was a bit off at times but it could easily be ignored. This game is one of my favorite visual novels ever. I think it is better that Kanon and even Clannad. (Both of which I played completely) It also is better than most other VNs out there. This game is on par with Ever 17 for me.
This review is incredibly harsh and not inaccurate.
Please go replay the game and repent on your actions.
It might well be your favorite but to me the story didn’t really work. Sometimes the story grabbed me, but mostly it didn’t and that’s just the way it went for me when I played it.
Ah, Color Wars, excellent! Fond memories I have of this series, not to mention a splendid character you picked. I always had a soft spot for Blue, even if Green was my favorite.
And with an ass like Korone’s, why wouldn’t you like her?
that erio one is gold
god bless you!
And probably never getting those outfits in NA. That, or waiting months and months.
i just started watching this anime not to long ago, i expected it to be a gothic lolita shoujo type anime. How ever my world was sent to hell when i saw my favorite character get an umbrella to the neck, and i thought an arrow to the knee was bad.
the anime does have some twists and turns, which are pretty gory. I my self am not such a fan of horror anime, but this one il make an exception for, because Mei is a real beauty, that soft apathetic voice, that pale skin, and her eye patch, desu for my senses ^ _ ^
I am a fan of horror but for some reason didn’t start watching it until recently. The music and visuals sets the mood pretty well and usually horror is more about making you feel uneasy about everything instead of cheap jump scares. I’m happy with how it turned out so far.
OK so i know this is off topic, but i want to use an avatar, and it tells me that in order to use an avatar i have to log in, but how the hell do i create an account????
yes I’m the same guy as the one on top
Right now mon0r uses gravatar for avatars, so when you comment the email address you enter is checked with gravatar and you’ll get an avatar that way. If you don’t have a gravatar avatar then get one on gravatar.com and it should show up on mon0r automatically when you comment.
thank you
i would have never figured that out
and i like your reviews (:
Thanks!
frankly, I thought the show got better when mugiboobie was introduced (ep 3 onward). I enjoy the politics and the new plot points that were introduced, and all the characters are likeable to me. The dramas between the characters are done really well, and their reactions to the situations are, I believe, realistic. At least the story is actually moving along now. I can’t wait to see where this show goes in the end.
It’s nice if you’re enjoying the bits I found tedious. Everyone gets something a bit different out of every show and even if I didn’t like those bits all that much they were at least pretty decently handled so it could’ve been worse.
How do they treat foreign anime fans…or just foreigners, basically.
Sounds like a good game! I want to make a visual novel now! Lol
I think there’s a lot of people who were inspired by this game. It might take some effort to get everything right, but at least it’s doable.
I know what I’ll be doing the entirety of Tuesday, March 6th.
I’m quite annoyed at the game coming out March 9th in Europe.
looking forward to katsuragi hinagiku
did all the routes and i love it! i cant wait for the downloadable content is going to be aweasome for it. theres new girls and choices.
you can tell neiji(i forgot his name, the hallmate) that you like him instead of saying that hanako is cute
If I remember correctly, I read a manga somewhere that had a boy’s videogame character come to life or something. That’s probably along the lines of this series.
That tsun-tsun seems to be in high demand. Hm, next article: Hinagiku?
Looks delicious but i hope none of them are traps!
one of the best manga ever!
jk but it is very good. i look forward to every chapter
It’s definitely an entertaining series, and something that I look forward to with each new chapter. It’s a nice, quick, easy read.
this is a great anime keep it up hopefully this one can replace bleach when it finish but this anime remind me of gundam
Woot I can’t wait I just hope that this ova will spur them to animate another season of kenichi I’ve watched it through and through like 5 times and other episodes more lol can’t wait
pls give me beta key for dota 2 :)
I started to follow this site a few weeks ago and I’m loving it.
Content: 10. The anime/manga/character reviews are fantastic. This is the first site I’ve ever known that make character reviews. And they are fantastic!
Design: 10. The website presentation is well organized and the colors are well choosen.
Oveall: 9.5. The site is very good, it helps you with some reviews and important news.
Content: 7 because you’re exclusive articles are awesome and you catch some news that others have missed, but you are sometimes late with other news. That being said, the content of the articles taken as is is great in my opinion, Keep it up!
Design: 10 I freakin’ love your logo and the color scheme you have going on. They’re my favorite color combo so I might be biased in this conclusion.
Overall: I’d give monor a 9. I can’t think of anything that would improve the overall site as is right now. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I love the Facebook pics you put up by the way! ;)
Content: 8 This site has so much to offer for just starting off, depending what your interest are. Why I gave a 8.
Design: 9 Design is awesome, I love how the top menu follows you while you read, my only complaint is if the colors used in the top menu were either whiter or more distinguishable.
Overall: 8 This site is quickly becoming my first stop for news/reviews.
Very well made website, I have yet to have a crash, or a bad link. Site is actually designed better than some of the competition out there.
This game… this game is gonna be awesome. I just really hope they change the controls somewhat. I felt very robotic or stiff in Resident Evil 5. And please make your co-op AI a little more intelligent than Sheva.
Content: 7.
Design: 8.
Overall: 8.
I’ll be brief. Solid so far. Simple layout which I like, but it needs an archive section?
Content 9, but because I’m one of the writers LOL.
Design 10 because we as a team worked on it kind of.
Overall 9, I’m quite happy with what we’ve accomplished so far!
I’m one of the senior writers although I haven’t been active for a while due to life problems, but I love everything the team’s worked so hard to accomplish.
P.S. to all of the followers who think I may have an unfair advantage trust me my chances are the same as yours, since if Icky favored one of us the rest of the team would explode. Don’t worry we’re on an even footing!
I vote for CKMo :3
Content:9
Always update many anime/ game/ figures news review and events, keep up the good job.
Design: 8. As for design, the font colour for top bar menu prefer using white or visible colour which can enhance the visible words. The website can also enhance with some silverlight effect to enhance the design as well.
Overall: 8.
This website loading is fast not much problem in contents, just some design able to be improved, can put some comfortable music background to attract readers.
Content 7: The content is pretty well made although I would like to see more on upcoming series. I just recently started following mon0r and I’m impressed with the professionalism of the content and staff in general. Many other sites are very unprofessional in regards to their execution and delivery.
Design 10: I love the design. It’s fantastic. Nothing negative to say about it. Very sleek and clean. Congrats to your UI Designer.
Overall 8.5: It’s a good site. I look forward to see your growth in the future. This team seems to have a lot of potential like the GoBoiano team. Two anime platforms I am loving at the moment.
Good luck to all,
H3art
Content: 5. It’s quite general but it’s enjoyable nonetheless. Especially the fan service parts.
Design: 10. Great! If it’s 10 then there’s no reason it won’t be. Sexy for the eyes.
Overall: 9. Been following mon0r for a while even before the design change and I think it’s improved afterwards, keep it up!
Hi. Remember me, Icky? No? Well.
Content: 8. I don’t read all of the content produced by this site, nor do I claim to. But the ones I do read (news, figures, cosplay, pc games, apps) offer pretty entertaining takes on whatever they’re about. And pretty timely with the news articles, too. Bravo.
Design: 10. I have little to no standards towards website design, but this layout is pretty slick. Yup.
Overall: 8.5. The reason I didn’t just average the above two out is because content is so much more infinitely more important than design. But yeah, overall, though, my impression is that it’s a pretty good news source, and articles on other topics I’m interested in are entertaining and sometimes insightful. It’s come a long way since I first saw it.
I gotta say, I really enyoed this post!! I was thinking of going to Japan now that I’m in college since I like anime and stuff, but I’m gonna make sure to not just all out say that was my reason!
The only question I have is if at any point have you ever been treated with hate?!
Really looking forward as to what the games storyline will be like!!
Content: 9 I like this site and I like it’s content, thats the main thing what I like here, back than when I found this site, tbh first thing what I liked here was those rare cosplay pics :stalker: and than I like manga reviews and news, so I say the main point of this site is content!
Design: 7 design is not bad, yeah it does looks like blog layout, but I don’t rly care about design, I’m interested in content and I like header! |>on the background<, but still there is much more to be done with design. I think this content deserves better design! and don't ever change logo cuz it's epic, and I like it.
Overall: 8 it's rly good site for sneaky pervert like me so I like it, the main thing what it rly lacks I think is forum… if you wanna make good community u just need forum, well thats my opinion thank you and good luck everyone
mail: [email protected]
I don’t really know why da hell am I doing this, but still.
Content: 8 I’m not reading it that much, so I can’t give it anything higher, but I can’t give it anything lower either, so yeah, 8.
Design: 9 It’s good. I like it. Simple, clean. AND THAT HOBBYSEARCH AD at the top is the best ad I’ve ever seen.
Overall: 9 I love this site. I wish I could do more for It than I do now.
Content: 8.5
Felt like 9 was a bit too high considering that I don’t read the contents that often, but the articles I’ve read definitely deserve more than 8. I love the overall light tone of the website, makes it easy to read and feel like I’m actually having a conversation with the author on the subject he talks about. Plus, as it has already been said, you sometimes come up with news that other websites have missed, and you also helped me discover some great anime, such as denpa onna to seishun otoko. Thus I definitely enjoy hanging around on your website from time to time. Plus you make me laugh over Twitter.
Design: 9
The design is sober, maybe a bit too sober considering the light tone of your articles. Yet the contrast works well in my opinion, proving that you don’t have to provide a flashy website to please the eye. The fact that the menu scrolls down along with the page is a brilliant idea, it definitely makes the navigation way easier. The categories are classic, and I’ve yet to encounter a single bug.
Overall: 9
Just because perfection doesn’t exist, I cannot give you a 10, even though I truly enjoy this website. I actually would be curious to see what the website would look like with a different background, maybe a tap less sober. Yet, it already works well as it is, so this suggestion is merely my selfish imagination wondering what these changes would make this website look like.
Anyway, keep up the awesome work!
Content: 9
That being said, you guys have a whole wide range of content ranging from anime reviews, gaming, mangas, cosplay, figures and even app reviews, you’ve got a whole lot of content here. Mainly this is an opinion based website, but to take this to a step further, I recommend a forum ^_^
Design: 8
Personally, I like the website design, it flows well, evenly organized, neat, compact, and simple! Although, very much like other websites, theres always room for improvements! :D As such, mon0r is a fairly new site and there’s always room for improvements. Till then, I won’t give a 10 that easily XD
Overall: 9
Overall, I like mon0r, a place to find everything you need/want to know anything about the otaku culture. But it still growing in terms of content so everything’s not there just yet :P Best of luck to all the growth! :D
Content : 8
It’s amazing how you guys are on top of the current topics in anime, whether it be reviews of shows, figures, games, manga.
Design: 9
Very clean design. Simple and straight forward. Everything is easily found through the top bar.
Overall: 8
mon0r is just an awesome place to browse. I’m always looking around for new content to experience, and mon0r has introduced me to a lot of great stuff. Thanks!
Content: 6 – It’s decent, tho not that much real time as maybe other places would be. But I understand it’s hard to be on real time when it’s a news site.
Design: 8 – Looks great and the moving menu is nice, but there are times where it’s hard to read what it says because it overlaps with the article text.
Overall: 7 – Quite good page, not fast but not slow either. Solid page and not misinformed.
Content: 8
I’m new to the site but it looks like you have some nice figs and other merch.
Design: 4
The plain white background is a little boring.
Overall: 7
I might revisit, looking through the site, I see that you guys have a good sense of humor.
Content: 7
Well, i must admit your review is not that special, and sometimes bit late. But yeah, i kinda like it.
Design: 8.
Simple. White background, not adding pics here and there was your good point.
Overall: 7.5
(8+7)/2
Yes, this is true. Do math.
Content: 8 – Cosplays, anime/manga, videogames, merchandise; can i ask for anything better?
Design: 8 – I love black and white, it’s eye-catchy and doesn’t stress the reader, the navigation is fluid, it feels nice and fast
Overall: 8 overall a very enjoyable site i like to visit when i look out for news and stuff, keep up the good work!
Content: 9 – Whenever I think of some blogs, I think of terribly biased opinions and overall bad journalism. Y’all seem to avoid any bad judgements and are actually informative and insightful. I hope to see posts flowing in at a faster rate if possible eventually though.
Design: 8 – I love the clean design and everything, but I feel that the top bar ( http://puu.sh/kCuo ) juts a little too much into the reading area of the screen. I’d give this design a 10 if the categories list was integrated into the top bar next to the site’s logo instead.
Overall: 9 – Getting past that minor issue I have with the top bar, this site is absolutely perfect! Would be nice to see posts appearing at a faster rate if any good news starts flowing in.
Content:8
You try to cover everything you can from the anime/gaming world from unpopular manga rising to popularity to popular games. I see that a few announcements that other anime news sites are missing but some of them are not that important. The content so far has been good.
Design: 7
The thing that bothers me is the left side of the page is a bit empty and the front page is a bit clustered with 2 months worth of Announcements/Reviews. Other than that It’s pretty organized and clean.
Overall: 7.5
“the front page is a bit clustered with 2 months worth of Announcements/Reviews”
Our site went under a haul recently, but rest-assured that most of the time you won’t be seeing announcements and reviews that clustered on the front page. ^^;
Content: 9 – Well as an anime fan, It’s just right.
Design: 10 – Sleek and simple; no complaints.
Overall: 9 – Nice design, good content, what’s not to like?
Content: 10 It is great to find another website that hass content on Anime and other Japanese products, Its very well writtend and nicely laid out, which makes it look amazing.
Design: 10 its a modern and sleak design, it is very easy to use and I have no problems finding what I want on the website.
Overall: 10/10 Great website, Great content, Great layout, and Great staff I cant find a bad thing about this website it is quickly becoming my favorite website ^_^
Content: 10. swag
Design: 10. swag
Overall: 10. swag
Lol.
Content: 9, this could be great to look often for news.
Design: 8, Pretty simple, and clearly look. though there’s missing something but I cannot tell.
Overall: 9 maybe someday I could change my homepage into this one, instead of google.s so keep on going!
Content: 7 not that up to date with information’s seen other websites post loot more new content faster and more information but its still good ^^
Design: 9 love it is so stylish and modern witch is fantastic and logo kicks ass ^^
Overall: 8 i say because the content and i would give 9 if was more up date ^^ but love it
Content: 7 The page isnt filled with loads and loads of information, yet a bit more of quantity would be nice if the quality of posts can be kept; the sections or categories are updated regularly and kind of equally i’d say, including the 4koma which i found pretty funny xD.
Design: 10 No flashy colours, no loads of gifs moving every few seconds, reading is comfortable and there are no distractions excluding fanservice; also (not sure if this was supposed to go on content) the information and opinions are well stated and differentiated. Definetly my favourite part.
Overall: 8~9 Balancing quality, amount and comfortability is hard, but i think you guys have done a nice job, it can get better but its good as it is now.
Ok let’s also take part in this giveaway!^^

Thats my rating.
I really liked the site the first weeks were you guys released the new design and posted news on a daily routine. It was really informative. Too bad this stoped after some time. Would be great if this comes back. I especially like the anime app posts^^ A good way to keep up to date with the newest anime apps.
The design is pretty good! I really like the sites logo^^
Averall it’s a pretty good site! Some things still can be improved. This site really changed from the beginning. Please keep up the good work!

Man this looks pretty good. Why must japan always get the good stuff? Hope there will be an western release.
It’s always best to learn Japanese and just import. Sure, it sounds more time consuming, but you’ll no longer need that feeling of “hoping for its release in NA.”
Most Japanese games, if imported to North America, would be really under-rated by most people, but seeing Blue Exorcist has some-what taken a spotlight in North America recently, there may be a release in NA after all.
Or not.
Ah I totaly forgot this game. Too bad it’s only for android >_< why can't it be also for iOS?
Content: 7
There are good, detailed articles, although not the fastest.
Design: 8
Some might think it’s boring and plain, but a nice clean design appeals to me.
Overall: 7
I honestly haven’t been here at all until today, but from what tell you guys have a good thing going on. I’ll probably come here more often to see what more you guys have in store.
*drools* and no, I’m not fapping.
Content: 8
It has plenty of information, and provides plenty of pictures ;P
Design: 9
The layout is rather nice, and it provides easy access to the important things.
Overall: 9
It could use more than having a pure white back-ground between the top and bottom; other than that, its rather convenient and navigable for a website with the important things being easy to see. The site provides a colorful view on many things, and that is part of what makes it so nice.
She has some more as Sona, with her friends:

The more the merrier. ^^
Content: 6 – The Content is decent although I do worry about where you get some of your info from. For example your most recent article about females making certain sounds I thought inappropriate.
Design: 8 Nice simplistic design keep it as it is.
Overall: 7 – Some nice articles to read but always some inappropriate ones. I would say just keep at it and try to skip the really gross ones that would definitely offend some people. Might seem that I’m picking at one article but hey it’s constructive criticism ^-^b
Content: 8
I’ve been enjoying the posts. Some have been pretty informative!
Design: 10
I absolutely adore the design. Simple, elegant, and it works!
Overall: 9
I’ve been following you on twitter, and I’m going to keep doing so. I’m enjoying the content and site. Thanks so much for your hard work.
Content 8: A nice anime related site just for my needs.
Design 8: The black and white is very appealing to my eyes and the second “O” in Monor really stands out which I gives it an added plus
Overall 8: It really looks like I’m gonna enjoy this site in the future and I don’t mind telling my other friends about this site as well.

I like reading your shit :3

It all good, but not perfect. Psh but what is perfect?

I don’t think I’ve had sweet Pretz sticks before. Plus, I don’t get Pretz boxes enough. Usually, I get Pocky boxes seeing that I’ve had them since childhood. This is a nice change of pace. Plus, I can get these boxes without going over the limit.
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/TEN001
Reason: I’d buy this just for the novelty, but I’ve heard it doesn’t taste bad either. It’s quite the clever item. I mean, come on, it’s called Tentacle Grape. Why WOULDN’T you want that in your mouth?
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/SNK717
Reason: As far as gaming goes, it’s not often you see product placement that makes it over to the USA. In this case, though Calorie Mate has actually had an exposure to an international audience with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It also is the basis for the healing items in the Phantasy Star franchise, though this is a link tied more to the Japanese versions than the US: the PSP game “Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity” actually makes a direct reference to Calorie Mate, implementing a special downloadable mission.
As someone who lives in the US and doesn’t have the budget to import Japanese snack foods, I’d love to try it!
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS410
Reason: wondering how crazy kid like shinchan, be quiet with only eat Chocobi and I hope I can always be happy like shin chan (kid who have never the burden of the mind) with just eat a box of chocobi ^_^
http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS467 Mhhh…Why Cheese Doritos? Well,I must say that FritoLay is the taste of my childhood.My mom was a hard worker and before I learned to use the stove.FritoLay was there.For me,a sunny afternoon watching TV,tastes like Doritos.The way back home where I know my family awaits for me after a hard day of work,tastes like Doritos.The pleasure of sharing a bag of Doritos with my best friend,tastes like sweet memories.
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/OKA705
Reason: Spicy foods are among my favorites, and you don’t see a lot of chips such as these with such a high Scoville count on the shelves here; they’d have to be specially ordered.
League of Legends is actually a MOBA game. Not RTS. Just sayin’.
The genre is classified under action-RTS. Please Google before you say anything.
http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS443
Reason: The box cover looks delicious. It seems to be Peter’s favorite snack around the afternoons and that’s about the same time I start getting hungry. Plus, I just love onion flavor! ^^
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS389
Reason: I grew up eating Meiji chocolates but I’ve never got the chance to eat Choco Banana. The chocolate coated in banana shells is just so moe. :3
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/SWN132
Reason: I love rice. No rice, no life. I would literally eat a plain bowl of rice plus this mix.
I like lots of choices and I love candy . That’s basically it.
Lol!
Item: http://www.jlist.com/product/AFG021
It’s motherf**king Mario stuff! Plus I absolutely love sour sweets such as Shigekix which in the past I used to buy tons of until my tongue just got used to it’s super sourness.

The reason is simple: I’m addicted to Pocky XD
Item: http://www.jlist.com/product/KNS129
I don’t think i can survive without eating for even 2 hours. I love food, especially snacks like rice cracker.
I’m thin as bamboo :D
http://www.jlist.com/product/KNS151
I’ve recently had some pretty extensive surgery done on my leg, and my girlfriend has done more than I could ever ask for to help me through everything. She’s always been a fan of the little DIY micro-food kits, and I don’t believe she’s tried this one. If I won, I’d give the certificate to her, because she deserves something awesome right now.
I’ve edited the mistake.
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS429
Reason: I just think these sound amazing! Kitkat are already fantastic snacks. The flavor combination is interesting, but, what really pushes it for me is the extra sakura flavorings. I’d really love to try anything with sakura flavoring, you know, try it once!
http://www.jbox.com/product/WONDA003
Reason: BECAUSE FREE FIGURE!!! :O Well not exactly “free”, but it’s a Asahina Mikuru figure, how can’t I choose this one?
http://www.jlist.com/product/KNS429
Because its something me and mom can enjoy, and she’ll never know it was something from Japan.
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/AHP036
Reason: I love onions and pepper. :3
http://www.jbox.com/product/US0004
What is there to explain, tentacles amirite?
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/SNK818
Reason: Ever since I watched Grave of the Fireflies back when I was a youngling, I’ve always wanted to try this gum drop ever since then but I never got around to ordering it. If the kids in GotF loved it, then i’m sure I’d love to give this a try as well! :D
http://www.jbox.com/product/AFG021
This. Because shrooms.
item: http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS443
Reason: Onion/slightly sour flavours are also awesome, thought not sure if its possible since its the same snack as cely_belly? ._.
Picking a snack item off J-List is only a requirement in the guidelines. It will not effect your chance of winning a $25 gift cert. by any means.
http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS429
I’ve actually been slightly drooling over the thought of tasting these. I have a feeling this will be one of those tasty discoveries akin to when I tried a sweet avocado shake in Tokyo for the first time.
item: http://www.jlist.com/product/KNS461
The bag has a cool design, the flavors seems like a good variety, and I haven’t had any of those drinks before. It would be an interesting item to try.
Yeah absolutely War in the Pocket is a great show. Even peple who don’t watch mecha shows because they think mecha shows are all about light effects should watch this. It really shows the fog of war and the lives of those involved.
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS210
There is something about bite-sized candy’s that ends up getting me, and when there is Grape as a flavor involved, its hard to resist a candy such as that. Grape flavored candies are the most delicious ones I have enjoyed, and this looks just as enjoyable as the previous ones I have had.
Someone wants the same as me…
Item: http://www.jlist.com/product/US0004
Reason: There’s really no other reason than the amusing name of this drink. Noone forgets their first tentacle.
Item: http://www.jbox.com/product/OFJ017
Reason: Being the huge Monster Hunter fan that I am, I’m curious as to what these taste like. Cats, strawberries, and chocolate – What’s there not to like?
http://www.jbox.com/product/YN716N
Pocari Sweat, it’s a staple of any young man’s diet in Japan. It’s a symbol of romance, of determination! Honestly, when I was in Japan a few months back, Pocari Sweat was all that I drank. Day-in, day-out. My friends told me I was addicted to me…that’s probably the truth. Some people say it’s like Gatorade, but that’s not true at all – you can’t even compare the two products! Pocari Sweat has this wonderful, smooth taste without the sugary kick you get in most sports-drinks. And it doesn’t taste like some crappy vitamin water product, either.
Shame it isn’t sold in the States. I’d kill for it here.
Item: http://www.jlist.com/product/AHP020
Reason: I LIKE RILAKKUMA SO MUCH, I WANT TO EAT HIS FAAAAACE.
http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS466
Because these are awesome and I had em when I was little
POS???? i dont think so u fu**in retard. you BUILD a muscle car it can more than likely take down them POS sports cars and tuners
I choose the green tea because green tea is healthy for you. The power of antioxidants is good enough for me. Not only does green tea contain antioxidants so does chocolate, which means that there is double the power of antioxidants. ahah. (: Mmmmm Green tea and chocolate best of both worlds all in a Kitkat bar. Now will you give me a break? ;P

Nagi
Because it’s one of the most detailed nendoroids I have ever seen! She’s beautiful!! (≧▽≦)
Nendoroid: http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3487/Nendoroid+Sakura+Shinguji+Koubu+Set.html
Reason: Childhood fave chara comes to live in chibi figure form! Finally one worthy of my attention as I only collects action figures rather than static, fixed-pose figures… And the pink koubu is mountable by Nendos too! Perfect for my future 4koma randomness! XDc
Nendoroid Name: Sakura Shinguji & Koubu Set
^
Added missing parameters… LOL Last minute ruru change? You sneaky! XDc
Nendoroid: http://www.shopncsx.com/images1/products/detail/nendoroid_drossel_wxp.jpg
Reason: Because drossel is one of my favorite characters and you can’t find nice Drossel figures. So, Nendoroid made me a favor creating this awesome figure.
Nendoroid: http://mon0r.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/e5e1b9fcdd7e41d8bd16567a92914f10.jpg (yes, my favourite is the one you guys are giving away)
Reason:
I’ve always been a huge fan of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Also being a passionate Nendoroid hobbyist, having a significantly large Nendoroid collection myself, including several limited edition Wonfes Nendos, I can safely say that I have a major soft spot for exclusive limited edition merchandise. This Nendoroid is no different. Having been disappointed with the original non-WF Madoka Nendoroid in her mahou shoujo guise, this one is definitely much more “realistic” in a sense, given her appearance in the anime. She’s portrayed the way she should be, instead of a cheery and overly happy individual. The “darker” expressions and teary-eyed face reminds us of the traumatic experiences the girls experience in the anime. The expressions are true to the way she is portrayed in the anime. I was never able to get my hands on this Nendoroid when it was first released, and this is currently the final limited edition Nendoroid up to this point I have yet to purchase. This is the reason why I would absolutely love to own this Nendoroid.

Black Gold Saw
It’s just an awesome figure, I cant put into words how awesome this nendoroid is!
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10179145
Name: Yamada Aoi
Reason: Cause shes my favorite character :3 and she looks so happy and fun!
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10169474
Nizuma Eiji
Reason: I want have this nendoriod at my work desk to remind me to always do my work with full passion just like Nizuma Eiji who draw manga with full passion.
Nendoroid: http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2377/Nendoroid+Sebastian+Michaelis.html
Nendoroid Name: Sebastian Michaelis
Reason: I can’t resist his charming looks. And to see him in chibi form makes it much better.
Nendoroid: http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2229/Nendoroid+Nozomu+Itoshiki.html
Nozomu Itoshiki
They captured everything about this character. They even have his suicide kit and the hanging rope!=D
Nendoroid: Takamachi Vivio
http://myfigurecollection.net/item/40787_mahou_shoujo_lyrical_nanoha_vivid_takamachi_vivio_
Reason: *inserts godly reasoning* She is the cutest motherfucker and shes daughter to the fucking awesome Sadistic Nanoha(not really that sadistic but she’d be even better if she was). Anyway, more to the point, the Nendoroid catches her personality along with having her, all important device, too. Another boss’em thing is she can hold hands with Einhart’s Nendoroid. They look fucking fantastic together. Her Nendoroid is definitely, a must have for Nanoha series fans. Did I mention her uniform is super cute on her? Because it definitely is! After Ive said all this, anyone who reads my post better buy her. YOU MUST BUY HER TO!
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3487/Nendoroid+Sakura+Shinguji+Koubu+Set.html
Nendoroid Name: Sakura Shinguji
Reason: At first I’m planning to pass this nendo after I saw her on WonFes release. Until recently I realized how much I love the series and Sakura so I’m giving a shot on this giveaway. Plus it’s rare to have this opportunity to have the chara to become a decent figurine in the next coming years after the series ended in 2000.
Nenderoid: http://www.goodsmile.info/product/ja/3115/ねんどろいど+初音ミク+応援Ver.html
Reason: Miku cheer version is too cute. Such an adorable smile. All Miku cheer versions are my favorite, especially the figure.
[email protected]
Nendoroid: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/41459_vocaloid_hatsune_miku_orchestra_hatsune_miku_nendo
Reason: This is such a cute figure! The expressions and accessories she comes with are just too wonderful to not use with other nendoroids to make a small music band! Also, it’s another variation of Hatsune Miku, so the points just add on to being one of my favorite nendoroids of my collection!
Nendo: http://mon0r.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/e5e1b9fcdd7e41d8bd16567a92914f10.jpg (same as A-kun)
Reason:
Bluntly put, I need to get this Nendroid because of a certain guest at Sakura Con (would like to get it signed), and I’m a bit tight for cash at the moment.
However, if you prefer the sugar-coated version:
Despite being on the top of my backlog list for months, I’ve never got around to watching Puella Magi Madoka till 2 nights ago. At first, I really hesitated to watch the show due to the “Mahou Shoujo” theme of the show, and it was something that I had deemed too “hardcore otaku” for the likes of me. However, due to the uproar it caused on the net, and because Gen Urobuchi will be visiting Sakura Con, I finally forced myself to sit down and watch it.
In the beginning, it was hard to get into the show, due to my original assumptions, but by the 15 minute mark of the first episode, I was hopelessly hooked. From that point on, Madoka became one of the greatest shows I’ve laid my eyes upon. It completely defied all [my] expectations, and was simply a textbook 10/10 anime (to me).
Because of that, I put aside how much I didn’t like the show’s character designs, and I fell in love with each and every one of the characters. The diverse cast brought balance to the show, and something that compelled me to become a willing fan.
Thus, getting this Madoka figure would complete my hopes of owning a part of the show, and more importantly, owning Madoka. In addition to satisfying my own desires, I also need the figure so I can get it signed by the famed Gen Urobuchi, and proudly display the signed figure (w/ box) in my trophy case.
Hopefully, mon0r can be kind enough to fulfill my dreams. I’ll even sign a contract with you and become a Mahou Shoujo, if need be :3
Fuck, i forgot to add that she has swag.
Nendoroid:
http://x.ydolon.com/mnrgvwy
Name:
Strength
Reason:
Back when the Black Rock Shooter OVA was first released, I had my first glimpse at the mysteriously lovely Strength and her mighty arms. As someone who has continuously destroyed its arms through a wide variety of activities, the idea of having enhanced arms is just LOVELY. My love for her grew as more illustrations of her popped out.
When her Nendoroid was first out I was speechless: Strength’s Nendoroid properly displays the vulnerability of the character (the hoodie hides her mouth) while making it notable that there are many a reason behind her name (or so I would like to think Huke thought). Her little tail was something I originally found intriguing but came to love almost instantly… her skeletal tail and her tough arms just make a perfect oxymoron of symbolic cuteness that knows no bounds.
It seems like one of those “I look good in any setting” figurines that I would love to take on a stroll. :>
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3206/Nendoroid+Homura+Akemi.html
Homura Akemi
Because fighting with traditional weapons and magic is too mainstream for Homura-chan.
Nendoroid: http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2909/Nendoroid+Yuki+Nagato+Disappearance+ver.html+Strength.html
Yuki Nagato: Disappearance ver.
Reason: Yuki is, in my opinion, the best Haruhi character. Seeing her expressing her emotions in Disappearance was the cutest thing ever.
http://myfigurecollection.net/item/58025_panty_stocking_with_garterbelt_stocking_anarchy_ne
Nendoroid Stocking Anarchy
It’s really hard picking my most favorite nendoroid, but I would have to pick nendoroid Stocking is my favorite! PSG style is perfect to be turned into nendoroids and I’m super glad GSC did a wonderful job in making nendoroid Stocking. She’s suuuper adorable and her expressions are just so so so cute!
I like the accessories that she came with, the cake and the hand with the fork is just perfect!
eh thats fine and dandy but yeah, its gundam so….super hit or miss.
Nendoroid: http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3221/Nendoroid+Mami+Tomoe.html
Reason: She’s my 5th favourite character, and its pretty neat with various extras, muskets are <3
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2229/Nendoroid+Nozomu+Itoshiki.html
Nendoroid name: Nozomu Itoshiki
Reason: his “I’M IN DESPAIR!” face is just soooo priceless. he also comes with a rope to hang himself with. >:D
Nendoroid: http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3103/Nendoroid+Sherlock+Shellingford.html
Reason: Hard to choose my favorite nendoroid, but if I had to decide I would choose Shero. The nendo’s just amazingly cute, with that pink hair tied in rings. Couple that with the bunny ears, and it’s just heart melting. Oh, and she comes with that cat Kamaboko, too~
Not many people watch Milky Holmes, but if they did I’m sure they’d find Shero really cute! Never once regretted picking up Milky Holmes to watch, even though it’s kinda stupid at times (in a good and funny way). ^_^
One of the main reasons why I love Shero so much is because of her voice (being a seiyuu otaku haha). I even share the same birthday with her voice actress ohoho~
Yeah so this is why I picked Sherlock Shellingford to be my favorite nendoroid~

She’s my favorite idol from The IdolM@ster series. I can’t get enough of her!

Nendroid name: Madoka Kaname School Uniform Ver.
Reason: Mahou shojo has been my favourite genre of all anime, ever since cardcaptor Sakura!!
Nendoroid: http://myfigurecollection.net/image/600/Shiddo1329997506.jpeg
Nendoroid Name: Vocaloid – Gumi – Nendoroid
Reason: Even if it’s only the concept for it, I’ve been wating a really long time for a Gumi fig and finally GSC is delivering.
Nendoroid: http://www.hlj.com/product/GSC96773
Nendoroid Name: Nymph
Reason: She’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute :3
Tested out the app 2 months ago and made a video :3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceIftbr1mWQ
nendo: kurisu and mayuri cheerful version
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3278/Nendoroid+Kurisu+Makise+Mayuri+Shiina+Cheerful+Ver.html
Reason:
Personally, I love all the nendoroids in the cheerful japan thing. I think it is a good way for otakus to show support and help the Japan earthquake from 2011. Each item bought from the cheerful line costs a little more to proceed to the japan charity. However, I love the Kurisu and Mayuri cheerful version the best out of all the nendoroids in the cheerful line. Steins; gate basically takes place in Akihabara and talks about otakus. In my opinion, it is like kurisu and mayuri representing akihabara and cheering for Japan. Also, not only do they have a deep meaning, I also love the design of their cheerleading outfits. It is a simple design, yet it still is a brilliant design for a cheerleading outfit. It is fun and relaxing to look at and also really cute. Also, they have awesome poses. To be honest, the earlier nendos really lack poses in my opinion. However, now the nendos have a better range of posability and also a better stand. In addition, I love their accessories and extra faces. The pompoms and flags show a brilliant effect and it really makes these nendoroids look dynamic and real. I also love this smiling faces because I just love that epic smiling face and also I love that epic 2chan face. Finally, these figures are also my top fav cause steins gate is one of the godliest epic animes that I ever seen.
Nendoroid: http://www.kingrpg.net/2010/10/nendoroid-dc-da-capo-pre-painted-pvc.html
Nendoroid Name: D.C.-da capo- Nemu Asakura
Reason: I just think this Nemu Asakura Nendoroid is fantastic! The expressions you get with her really are reflective of her character, you even get her angry face from when she’s angry at Junichi!
It’s made so well, and even comes with Utamaru, which, as far as extras go for Da Capo, you couldn’t ask for better!
Nendoroid: http://www.nendoroid.org/nendoroid.php?n=68
Nendoroid Name: Sebastian Michaelis
Reason: Simply put, he is one hell of a butler.
Nendoroid: http://shinyui.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/nendoroid-miku-hastune-with-leek.jpg
Nendoroid Name: Hatsune Miku
Reason: Miku + Leek = :3
Nendoroid: http://www.nendoroid.org/nendoroid.php?n=33
Nendoroid Name: Hatsune Miku
Reason: Insert Reason: I have been a fan of Hatsune Miku for a long time Vocaloid’s are the future of music the fact that you can have a computer generated pop star is truly a step into the future, It wont belong before we have robot popstars.
The Nendroid version of Hatsune Miku is so Kawaii ^_^

Kyoko Sakura
I guess it might seem a little odd to prefer her regular clothes version, but there’s something I always loved about what she wore when not fighting. She looks so cute and carefree, and it especially since it doesn’t seem like there’s going to be an official figure of her in this outfit any time soon, it makes me love this one all the more. In general I really just love the nendos in this series where they’re in their street clothes. They’re simple, but they really remind me of why I loved the anime, because at its heart it was just about a group of normal girls in an extraordinary situation.
Nendoroid: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/58025_panty_stocking_with_garterbelt_stocking_anarchy_ne
Sweet Lovely Stocking
Reason: I absolutely love and admire Stocking. Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt along with Ore no Imouto helped me kick start my love of anime and anime figures. I bought my first (and currently only) Nendoroid of Kuroneko and it is my most valued possession in my eyes. To complete my dream duo would be one of the happiest things in the world to me.
Nendoroid: http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3434/Nendoroid+Snow+Miku+Fluffy+Coat+Ver.html
Nendoroid Name: Nendoroid Snow Miku : Fluffy Coat Ver.
Reason: My most favourite VOC@LOID! Because of her I became an fan of the VOC@LOID music. She is just too adoreable in her fluffy coat! I especially like this one because of her many cute faces^^ Since I love snow and even use the name Yuki (snow) it’s only natural that this one is my fave^^
Nendoroid: http://www.nendoroid.org/nendoroid.php?n=99
Nendoroid Name: Fate Testarossa: The MOVIE 1st version
Reason: How could you not love it, badass and cute all in one~!!
Nendoroid: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7167/6682404071_d1629ff8d7_b.jpg
Name: Shiino Kirari
Reason: Although Kirari is only a mini nendoroid and thusly so much smaller than her “normal” counterparts, the character on which she is based (from the visual novel Kira Kira) is shy, self deprecating, and genuinely kind. Even after all of that, she becomes the lead singer of a high school band, takes said band on tour and, eventually, becomes a world wide sensation.
Her nendoroid, like her, is so small and cute with both a guitar and microphone. What’s not to like?
Nendoroid: http://img.goodsmile.info/cgm/ecommerce/goodsmile/images/large/6ade707603567e9379d00c02637f1b8a.jpg
Nendoroid name: Alice
Reason: JUST LOOK AT HOW CUTE SHE IS! I’ve watched a little bit of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée and it’s lovely. The artwork is gorgeous and I adore the setting. She is such a pretty character and I love her wardrobe! Lol I think she speaks to the lolita in me ;D
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10125812
Deddo Masuta (Dead master)
Simple, it’s a Dead Master nendoroid. x3
Well that and she’s one of my favorite characters to date. I absolutely love her character design, especially her color scheme. She wields a scythe, she commands giant skulls (which this nendoroid comes with!), and did I mention she’s Dead Master? This nendoroid is made extremely well and DEM FACES HHNNNNNNG.
Favourite Nendoroid: Snow Miku : Fluffy Coat Ver
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3434/Nendoroid+Snow+Miku+Fluffy+Coat+Ver.html
Reason: This Miku nendo is amazing. Really nicely detailed with light colours so it is easy on the eyes and makes it that much more cute. The best part about this nendoroid is that it comes with a light up stage which is awesome.
Nendoroid:

Nendoroid Name:
Haqua du Lot Herminium
Reason:
Ever since I picked up anime and manga as a hobby, I have always had a liking to tsundere characters. They are usually high up on my list, for whatever reason, whether it’s because I like seeing them flustered and embarrassed or because I’m a masochist. Haqua is a good example of that archetype, and has been a joy to have in TWGOK. She has been a huge help to Keima throughout the manga, and her arc in the anime was entertaining to see.
The nendoroid itself looks fantastic. Now, I do not own any nendoroid; the only figures I have are a couple Mari figs that my friend bought me (which I appreciated very much). However, nendos are definitely the types of figures I like the most, more than figmas or statues. Haqua’s looks very detailed and well done, from her face to the scythe. If I could have only one nendo, this would be one of my top choices.
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3240/Nendoroid+Taiga+Aisaka.html
Taiga Aisaka
I nearly flipped my table when I saw that they finally made a Taiga Nendo. One of my favorite characters and ToraDora is one of my highly rated shows so far. I currently own this Nendo and eventually I will let her out of the box. But, for now I will admire it while its still dust-free.
Nendoroid: http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3048/Nendoroid+Kuroneko.html
Nendoroid Name: Kuroneko
Reason: Kuroneko. Nuff’ said <3
Nendoroid : http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3278/Nendoroid+Kurisu+Makise+Mayuri+Shiina+Cheerful+Ver.html
Nendoroid Name : Kurisu Makise & Mayuri Shiina: Cheerful Ver.
Reason : both of ‘em are totally lovely! XD

I’ve always been a vivid fan of Squid Girl and after the announcement of Squid Girl season 2, I was excited more than ever. I’m a big vivid collector in all Squid Girl products, and with this coming out soon, I also have plan to pre-order it.

THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST. I’M GETTING THIS. I SHALL TAKE IT FORCIBLY IF NEED BE.
“Long ago, a splendid wedding ceremony was held. The couple getting married were considered village’s top couple. A gorgeous location was picked, a great many people attended. Everything about the wedding was wonderful. Apart from the bride slipping at the end and landing face-first into the cake. After that, every-time someone talked about the wedding, the guest would only remember that single flaw. The bride’s fall was particularly terrible. Even though everything up to that point had been perfect, everyone forgot about those happy memories. It’s mysterious isn’t it? Happy moments are in abundance, and they soon become a part of daily life. But if one bad thing happens, we take it terribly serious.”
Akira E. “Crimson Rose” Ferrari
And with that I conclude we are miserable people for not thinking more positive. Also, I would like to win this crazy giveaway.
LOL!
Nendoroid I love the most :

This cover is kinda special to me. It’s one of the earliest images of iM@S that I remember seeing. At first glance I figured it’d just be another cute girls doing cute things show that I’d pick up anyway, and now, months later, it’s one of my all time favorite franchises.

This would be my first time actually trying to win something that is worth a lot to me. I’ve always wanted to collect these magazines, but I never got the chance too. Always wanted to know how one of these would look like inside.
(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ.・ﾟ*｡・+☆ ┻━┻YEAHHHHH
I cannot wait to see the Eroge scene with Sena in english :P
Sweet mother of electronic bliss!
An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, “If you kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.” He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week.”
The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I’ll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want.”
Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter? I’ve told you I’m a beautiful princess, that I’ll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won’t you kiss me?”
The engineer said, “Look I’m an engineer.
I don’t have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that’s cool.”

Lol!
Done & Done.
>.< god pls let me win this !
>w<
onegai ~! i wan i wan i must win!
*thumbs up! Best event ever in the galaxy !
Really wonderful giveaway i hope to win *
You know, these directions are kind of confusing. Do you have to retweet that *and* share this post separately? That is how it sounds.
In any case, this would be sweet to win.
Yes, share this post first. Then retweet the link that was given in the article. ^^
I completely agree with you, even though it’s an Ecchi Anime there is such a thing as “too much of a good thing” but this goes overboard and overused with the Tn’A to the point it’s annoying, not only that but like you said there’s no character/story development just random jokes catered only to the horny.
Pulse I’m rather sick and tired on the stereotype loser perverted guy as a main lead in harem, why can’t there be a loser guy who’s not a pervert or at least not so much as this douchbag that gains power and takes levels of badassery… and NOT be some chicks bitch.
Oh, that looks very very niiice~ *___*
Btw forgot to ask, since u have to share this on Facebook and retweet this on Twitter: How can u guys know that i also shared this on facebook, cuz i used a totally different nickname here and on Twitter? o__O
If the winner is picked off from Twitter, then we’ll announce the Twitter username. However, if the winner is picked off from Facebook, then we’ll announce the full name of the user from Facebook.
All you have to do is check back on this post later to see the announced winner. ^^
Hmm k, thnx for the info =D
btw cant really seem to find it, how can i change my avatar? o__o
We’re working on it. ^^; sorry.
You should really change the “tab 10.1″ in the tweet (though somebody seems to have already pointed that out”.
Aside from that, let’s see how much luck I have this time around :D
It was a mistake on our behalf, and I apologize. However, if we change the tweet now, then all users who already retweeted that tweet would be erased. We can’t do that, so we’re just going to have to live with that mistake. ^^;
Once again, tentacles. That is all.
My body ready to lose.
I’ve been tempted to get a Kindle Fire due to the cheap price but an Andriod tablet would be so much more useful. Awesome giveaway :D
good stuff dawg. first article i read on this site and its a beauty.
Delicious.
last day, last chance. Good luck to the participants :3
Good luck everyone! :D
Spammed my FB and Twitter with Mon0r links ^^
Last day, here’s hoping I win. I still haven’t actually played the latest FF yet.

If I dont win, I’m a borrow money from a pessimist, they won’t expect it back and then buy it.

Thanks for the giveaways !!!
Done everything !
I just want to ask is this giveaway International?
I am not a CCA for a couple of reasons
a: the ending was quite… yea…
b: it seems like they could have gone more indepth about this era by giving this series a 6 episode OVA.
The soundtrack, however, is nice.
I’d like to point out that this is apparently going to bee FREE. http://gundamguy.blogspot.ca/2012/03/ps3-mobile-suit-gundam-battle-operation.html
I need a bucket or ten to fill up with man tears because of this. Welp. :S
*Me want*
I have one myself from Figma by Max Factory (it’s the earlier version) but the rock cannon doesn’t expand and lacks the hood.
This is the one I’m referring to —> http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2836/figma+Black+Rock+Shooter.html
The details on the this one is much better in comparison. The hair is made more lively, the tilt of the belt, and the boot flaps just makes it seem more realistic. Also, it seems to have more degrees of freedom with the joints than the previous one.
I don’t know why but I love this so much, probably because of the cute relationship Misaki has with Kuroe. I even downloaded it to my PSP. It’s just too cute.
Something tells me to be excited for this “Gon” – but who knows
i love hatsune miku <3
I can imagine laughing at this manga for countless hours….
XD ahahah
Nice review!
Badass coat is BADASS :O
*WANT* ~(*W*)~
FABULOUS MAX!
RE: Licensed by DMP–
Yep, just confirmed it with them on Twitter. It’s apparently getting a release this Fall (print too, not digital).
started reading it aswell some weeks ago, mainly because it was drawn by kantoku \(*w*)/
thats very unique… im not really into that 3d stuff… but i love .hack//..
How about you don’t rely on Wikipedia and educate yourself properly. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1948589
Wikipedia is for the people who are too lazy to properly research the information and verify the sources for themselves.
Where it can be classified as an RTS it is more commonly referred to as MoBA style game based off its heritage from DoTA.
Where you are not necessarily right, and neither am I, we simply refer to the game by different terms. As such, please don’t challenge my intelligence because it is rude and you did so without a proper source to begin with (Google is not a source, it is a search engine).
I wouldn’t say that it is common at all. That fact that the wikipedia page for such a popular game hasn’t been updated in years shows that(even a discussion in talk about it).
It’s a game which gave itself a new genre despite ARTS being suitable just to throw off the dota stigma.
MoBA was a term coined by Riot themselves to differentiate themselves from DoTA. So instead of telling people to Google, you should do more thorough research and talk to people who actually play the game.
that was totally ausome :)
I’ve been reading the scans on Manga Fox since the story was first posted. The art work is gorgeous and the story’s really good too. I don’t care for hentai, but this is worth reading for the art and story alone.
Too bad it was taken off Manga Fox. I wouldn’t really consider buying this, because it was just something to read in my spare time, and if my mum was to find it she would kill me.
I want one

oh my god…. the dubs going to suck like all other dubs but the secound piece of new is great
Oh my god you look great i think I am in love xD
Believe it or not I’m very hyped for this game. Black and white were actually very good games!
I saw some streams of it on Twitch, but it looked far far worse (design wise and game-play) than TERA. I dunno maybe the cave the video and the zoom out I was watching took place wasn’t doing it any justice. Oh well I hope the Koreans like it at least, and people say the Japanese gaming industry is stale, these Korean grinders are still popping up everywhere.
Plz give me one :)
