October spendings
Ahhh… October is almost over. And it’s a good thing too because I am almost out of smackaroos. Hobbies are expensive addictions. You are probably better off taking drugs.
So anyway, here are some purchases I made this month that I have NOT been regretting. The rare few, that is.
First up, we have a D.C. II Nanaka mouse pad and phone card set that I mentioned before in a previous entry. It cost a bomb. Like the nuclear kind. But Nanaka fanboyism overcomes all, including food and daily necessities.
It’s pretty nice. The phone card is where most of the explosive price tag goes to. People are selling the mouse pad on Yahoo! Auctions for just a few hundred yen without the phone card… Ah, crazy Japanese collecting telephone cards that no one ever uses because every single one of them has a mobile phone surgically attached to his/her hand. No one will even notice the difference if NTT stops putting credits into these cards. (Or maybe they already did?)
Moving on, we have SummerDays & School Days Visual Collection. Despite the huge screw-up that was SummerDays, fanboyism dies hard and sometimes you are rewarded for it. This visual collection is waaaaay superior to the game. Really.

SummerDays event-only promotion phone card
New School Days box design
Sekai so hawt
Setsuna V!
Setsuna turning kick!
And a whole bunch of other promotional and game-related art that I shall not post here because they are too… ummm… cool. Yeah. Let’s just say that Kinokuniya wouldn’t bring this in so I had to pay through my nose to get it online. (As opposed to paying through my nose at Kinokuniya, that is)
Next… Caladbolg from T2 Art Works (NSFW). Oh, so much win that I shed tears as I befouled it with my unworthy touch.
Back cover (NSFW!!!)
Saber Saber wai wai!
Rin in swimsuit
I’m sure you all have the complete scans of Tony Taka doujinshi stowed away somewhere on your hard drives, so I shall not bother with more pictures…
And finally, Zero no Tsukaima 1/6 1/8 Louise PVC (I have no idea why I like to type 1/6 these days) from Kotobukiya. This was a pleasant surprise because I was sooooo sure that the final mass production figure will totally suck compared to the pictures. It turned out quite awesome, possibly better than the Alter one.

Pantsu!
Speaking of which, I have a Chinese O’level paper tomorrow. Wow, I should really start working on that or something… Oooo shiny object!…
Anyway, before I go, I just want to say that Happiness! episode 4 has caused me so much mental pain and agony. GAOOOO!

You do me proud DM XD

Nice buys this month, DM. I bought the Sha, I mean, Louise figure also. I agree that it’s good. Whether it is better than the one by Alter remains to be seen though.
As for your Chinese paper, simply have faith in the God-Empress for Her protection if you studied, or commend your soul to Her if you haven’t. Good luck, and the Empress protects.

Gift… zOMfG… Da Capo without fillers. I seriously love this show. DM, would you mind to share with us you impressins about it?
P.D.: Riko~~~ *fap fap fap*
October 30th, 2006 at 2:34 pm
If only Riko was voiced by someone else…
October 30th, 2006 at 2:40 pm
@hotchatbot at least you have cards that can be sold. i got a bunch of starwars CCG cards that no one wants to buy. but throw away also quite heart pain.
October 30th, 2006 at 11:26 pm
ah ima running outta money to buy anime stuff… n i cant order online either… =(
October 31st, 2006 at 2:53 am
DM, you don’t like her seiyuu? I kinda like it. Of course there are much better ones, but… this one is okay, I think.
October 31st, 2006 at 6:46 am
No way. Ai Shizimu totally doesn’t fit Riko’s image.
October 31st, 2006 at 10:30 am
You’d like a darker voice instead? I was thinking in someone like Miki Itou (fate/stay night – Fujimura-sensei, SHUFFLE! – Shigure Asa).
October 31st, 2006 at 10:32 am
Well, she’s not dark at all. Duh. But I kinda imagine her voicing Riko and I like it.
October 31st, 2006 at 3:48 pm
No, sexier pls.
October 31st, 2006 at 11:36 pm
Like?
November 1st, 2006 at 3:13 pm
Stupid Chinese. If it wasn’t on Monday, I could have bought my stuff on Sunday instead of Saturday and saved alot of time…
July 31st, 2007 at 2:17 pm

October 12th, 2007 at 2:13 am
