In today’s update: Kyou no 5 no 2 official site online, True Tears to be animefied, a Binchou-tan PS2 game, CD-ROM Fate goes the way of the dinosaur, several Wonder Festival scoops including a PVC kit from T’s System, and advance news from Figure Maniacs vol. 19.
Media Side
- The official site for the Kyou no 5 no 2 OVA is now online, though aside from the “item” and “link” pages it’s still under construction.
- According to the game’s official site, Broccoli’s True Tears is slated to be animated at some point in the undefined future. Further details on this as they emerge. In other Broccoli news, the second issue of Comi Deji will go on sale February 10th; check the site for a rundown of the magazine’s contents.
- Multimedia synergy is the rule when it comes to anime titles these days, and Binchou-tan is no exception. Expect to see her turning your PS2 into a rice cooker sometime this year.
- A DVD box set for the Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito anime will be on sale March 24th. I can’t think of a reason to drop 36,000 yen on this, but it’s worth clicking for the yuri yuri screenshots.
Ero Side
- While still woefully lacking in specifics as to its contents, Hadashi Shoujo updates its Sweets!! Oshioki Sweetie Fan Disk page with the news that it will be on sale April 28th. Shaping up to be a painful day for the wallet…
- The CD-ROM edition of Fate / stay night has entered its final pressing, so if you prefer CD over the upcoming DVD release this may be the last chance (short of Yahoo Auctions) to get your hands on it.

Hobby Side
- This Ichigo Mashimaro swimsuit collection trading figure set will be coming in April from Toysworks.
- Coming in mid-March from Pla Guild is this Mitsuki resin kit from He is My Master. A nice item, pity there’s no PVC in sight.
- The two Solid Theater Akiiro Renka PVC kits scooped recently are now available for preorder, with decent resolution sample images: Niiyama Aoi and Mayu Tokura. Solid Theater’s Hinatabokko Hinata PVC is up as well, due out in April.
- Coming in late May from Megahouse are these three SD Gundam SEED Destiny figures with various exchangeable parts (Fllay, Meer, Isaac).
- Wanfesu Corner
- Akiba Blog continues its string of exclusive Alter/Max/Goodsmile Wonder Festival scoops with shots of the quadrilogy of lingerie Mizuhos that will be Max Factory’s special event offering. Nopan may have cinched this one for me.
- Alter has updated their official event site with Wonder Festival goods, including some coffee “tumblers” and resin kits of earlier-released PVCs.
- Amie Gran has updated as well, with location information and the kits they’ll have on sale at the event. Mostly Sailor Moon, but Mahou Shoujo Behoimi does make an appearance.
- Vice updates with their mostly Range Murata-inspired Wanfesu offerings.
- PVC from T’s System at Wonder Festival?! The hand of providence is at work…
- Toranoana’s Suigetsu Palm Scenery trading figures went on sale yesterday, and Akiba Blog / Akibajin were there. It seems that Konami’s Gokujou Seitokai Figure Mate trading figures were on sale yesterday as well.
- 2chan’s Mokeiura board pulls through today with advance scoops from Figure Maniacs vol. 19. More information on the individual items pictured as it becomes available.
What’s the hook of Kyou no 5-2? I haven’t heard anything about it and the character designs are rather generic. =/
Binchoutan adventure game or is it a RPG? “I had Binchoutan on her duck charging the boss with her special baka twig +5. Boss couldn’t touch her with armour of kawaii +2.” XD
i can’t read japanese, but why is are the Sweet Kiss girls featured in the Kyou no 5-2 site? did they do some of the voices too?
These two posts should answer your questions re: Kyou no 5 no 2. The forums search box is your friend~
The Binchou-tan game is described as an “adventure anime/comic”, and you play Binchou-tan going through her daily life. Details are still pretty scarce, but I’m guessing the baka twig will be sadly absent. :(

Thanks for info on Kyou no 5-2. I didn’t realise that HD had a search function until you pointed it out!
No baka twig? Damn, the game developers must have took that out of the final game probably because it was too game-unbalancing. Here’s the original design sketch of the Binchoutan with the baka
twig… ^_^

Sigh. What a crappy birthday it’s going to turn out to be this year. Not only am I being denied milk, but I’m not getting any candy either, it seems.
Solid Theater is re-releasing a Al Azif PVC in april too, it seems (HLJ). Busy month for them.
Happy birthday, Agent Wax. :)

Loli fishing, eh… Binchou-tan is so SD she challenges the definition of loli, I’d say. Then again, I have yet to see/hear her in motion…
>>Agent Wax
There must be a way to get 18+ items from this island to that island. Surely. :(
>>Ladioss
I tend not to note rereleases here as I don’t have time to verify whether HLJ will be stocking them or not. I’m afraid if I started posting them it would just raise false hopes. ;_;
A busy month indeed…
