Following my almost four hour hike in Kamakura, I stopped by Akihabara because I knew that it was going to rain all weekend. To my surprise, Tora no Ana (a Japanese Doujin store), was advertising and selling a hefty new art book. I am making this ar...

Lots of Biri Biri and Nagato this month in the latest issue of Megami magazine. :3 While I was in Akihabara today, I went ahead and picked up Vol 119 (April 2010)'s issue of Megami with my 2p Griffon Yuyuko figure. Let's see if this issue is wort...

This is something I have been meaning to do for a while now, hopefully it's not against the rules. ^^; You see, I can't draw but I have always wanted a professionally illustrated moé mascot for my blog's banner and for my about page. I have already...

I usually don't do this but for some reason my articles are not showing up in the figure.fm feed anymore. I have to go to quarters on my ship in a few minutes but wanted to share the articles of the WonFes 2010 convention from of my coworker LG. En...

Hands down the best Japanese anime calender I have ever bought. This is the 2010 Tora no Ana calender that was on sell in early January 2010 in Tora no Ana stores in Japan. I wanted to review this one to help those visiting and who are in Japan make...

I wanted to make a review of my Rozen Maiden customa-p figures before I left America to go back to Japan. These are some of the only Rozen Maiden figures that were ever made but are they decent figures? In this review, we will take a look at the good...

This is a preview of one of the few Touhou art books that I have bought in my time in Japan. I would buy more of them if I knew what was inside each one. Some contain comics while others are full page art books like this one. This preview is to he...

This shoot focuses mostly on Fate her enforcer uniform that she wore ever since she first became a member of the TSAB (Time Space Administration Bureau) in the anime Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Fate has always been best friends with Nanoha...

This is a dual review of both versions of Max Factory's ultra cute (and slightly naughty) take on Rin Kokonoe from the anime Kodomo no Jikan. These are not the newest figures but I think, besides the nendoroid, these are the only figures which does...

My second Dollfie Dream, Saber from the anime and eroge Fate Stay Night. Saber is a classic favorite of Dollfie Dream collectors due to her impressive armor and iconic appearance. Hopefully these pictures of Saber are better then my last article. Ori...

Feena Fam Earthlight was my first Dollfie Dream and for over a year, I have always wanted to give her a proper review for potential collectors but also I wanted to try my hand at Dollfie Dream photography. These are not the best pics, but they are MU...

Before I say anything, this post is very not safe for work. Fair warning. But, I checked it three times to make sure it follows Figure.fm guidelines. There are bare "eyes" but I removed "oyster area", acts, and "self gratification". If it's still...

A "teaser" glimpse of the upcoming Rina Ogata Dollfie Dream. The kind that makes you irritated because you want to see more. But I guess that's why they are called "teasers". Thought for sure that the White Album Dollfie Dreams were supposed to b...

Merry Christmas Figure.fm! As a treat to 2d girl lovers, I am writing a review of the latest Megami magazine that I just picked up from my local Animate. Nanoha A's and loli fans will be especially happy. This is Vol 117 Megami for Feb 2010. Whic...

What do you think about the planetarium? That beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter when. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. - Yumemi Hoshino (Reverie Planetarian) http://punynari.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/plan...

Was out and about today, in areas around Japan while it was an absolutely gorgeous day in Tokyo (and elsewhere). Crystal clear skies with a lot of freezing wind, but it still made for some good photos of my traveling. These shots were taken on the S...

Another review of one of the artbooks I managed to purchase just before leaving for a while. This one is by Aoi Nishimata, who is famous for her work in the eroge company Naval and more particularly, for her work on Shuffle!. As I said in my last re...

Figured I'd share a look at the rather nice Touhou art collection I purchased. It is a collection of original works by CHRONOLOG that focuses mostly on Touhou but has some other ones as well. Instead of doing a loot post that just shows my what all...

One of the primary reasons I wanted to make a trip all the way to Kobe, Japan (a city near Osaka) was to see the giant robot that was constructed recently named Tetsujin 28-go. Now, I’m afraid Gigantor (Tetsujin’s American name), is a bit past my tim...

Now to the final part of my 3 part coverage from Tokyo’s Doll Show 26 held in Tokyo yesterday. Hope you enjoyed my photos which focus mostly on the Dollfie Dream side of the convention. Before I begin this review, I respectfully ask that if you post...

Continuing my coverage of Doll Show 26 which was held in Tokyo yesterday. The Doll Show was held in Hamamatsucho in the Tokyo Trade Center. I had a bit of trouble finding the building and even information online. Whenever I searched Doll Show all I g...

Today I was able to make it to a Tokyo convention for once. Usually, it is like a curse, and I am always underway whenever a convention comes up. Thankfully, it is one of the best ones I could have been in Japan for. Doll Show 26 was a convention in...

Weathercock House is the real life western house in Kobe, Japan that is the fictional residence of Rin Tosaka from the anime Fate Stay Night. I wanted to go there honestly because of that. ^^; But also because it is a beautiful house even though I am...

In addition to the life sized Tetsujin 28-go in Kobe, Japan. The bigger reason I wanted to go to Kobe is that it is the city in which the fictional city Fuyuki was based on. Fuyuki is the city that the anime and ero game “Fate Stay Night” is based. T...
