There are winners and losers every month when it comes to Megami, and this issue seems crafted to thwart my personal tastes in almost every respect (gosurori Haruhi being a notable exception). That said, fans of Negima and many of the new moe shows of the season will come away happy, and those who dig the teen versions of Nanoha and Hayate should appreciate the extra that’s included. Read on!




The only items that do it for me in this month’s batch of posters are the gosurori Haruhi, the Zero no Tsukaima, and the Gift (by virtue of its superior production value)… I wouldn’t mind posters from shows I wasn’t interested in so much if they maintained this high (and rather nipply) standard of quality. Alas, not the case in this issue. :(
Fans of the new SHAFT Negima certainly have cause to rejoice however, and the 70 centimeter Nanoha / Hayate exchangeable “stand pop” (assembly instructions here, I didn’t bother to put it together myself) should please devotees of the Big Bang school of hair design. For those in the “this season’s anime designs are a highly potent anesthetic” camp with me, during the post’s intermission I’ll be circulating a petition to bring back the 2006 spring and summer seasons for the next few months… Megami can be acquired from J-List, for those interested.
*nosebleeds*
Let’s hope my local Kino manages to bring it in. I’ve put in the order a fortnight ago.
This release doesn’t seem to be that great but there’s still a few posters in there that I wouldn’t mind on my walls so I’ll buy it anyway~ I like the Kanon one, the Nanoha one, the last Negima one, the Otome wa Boku one (why does the trap have such realistic breasts!?), image 13 and the second last image the best. The others are borderline okay – bad or unsuitable for a 16 year old’s room (eg image 2). ;P
Even for a Negima fan, all of the posters but the last one aren’t very good. The art seems off and they just seem wrong. I don’t even like the Nodoka one even though she’s one of my favorite characters..
I’m curious about the Nanoha/Hayate ‘stand pop’ thing. Is it supposed to just be a standing piece of card with a picture of one of the girls on each one? (damn them for missing out Fate T_T)
I won’t be getting it for a while though since archonia.com probably won’t have it in stock till around Dec 15th. I’m still waiting on volume 78 which comes out Nov 15th and Megami Deluxe v7 which won’t be on there till Nov 30th. I’ll probably wait till 79 comes in and order them all at the same time to save money on shipping.
Nice~ I’d definitely pay double for all that. Too bad I can’t order stuff online :(
Tempting this month’s Megami may be, I think I’ll have to pass for once. After 4 months, I can finally take a break from buying this evil magazine!
Oh yes, I am in much agreement with you Shingo over the production value of the Gift poster. The Gift and Haruhi ones seem to be the best out of the lot this time around, at least IMHO.
ZOMFG… THE TWO HARUHIS!!!
*grabs*
yeah, this issue is pretty weak. if the my-zhime zwei was something revealing, i’d be more interested. but since it’s zhime & hisayuki, i still like it…out of obligation ^^.
