I was planning to push out the final installment of our Wonder Festival coverage this evening, but lack of sleep for the past few days has turned my brain into a puddle of goo that can’t bear to string more than a few words together at a time. Tomorrow for sure!
News of the Day:
- Eroge: Rumor: To Heart 2 Another Days lacks Ikuno route?

We’ll take a closer look at some of these tomorrow to see exactly what’s going on.
In site news, following input on the redesign we’ve created an option for those who would prefer to view HD content in a single chronological feed in the main column. This can be done by clicking the “All” link in the upper right corner of the layout, or going here; browsing this way means you’ll never miss content when it’s posted to one of the new sections of the site! Hopefully this will help ease the transition to the new layout for all concerned (myself included).
Whew… it’s dinner and then off to bed for me early tonight! Wonder Festival coverage concludes tomorrow.
hm i’ve been interested in Koihime Musou ever since that Kanu with removable juice figure came about lol. This should be interesting. Just checked out the game site and wow there are a ton of characters!
Koihime Musou’s going to have an anime and manga adaptation? @_@
A Koihime Musou anime? I can’t wait to see it. Especially since I love this Kanu as much as the Kanu from Ikki Tousen. And all of the other girls as well.
Ta for the alternate view. I hope it isn’t too much work for you to do to do both versions.
Not just tonnes of characters, but tonnes of well-endowed characters.
I guess this means Koihime Musou is getting major release in terms of merchandise soon. Guess I better be more selective in what I buy now and how many multiple copies I buy. 8)
I do have slight reservations seeing my favourite Gungho Alpha male Chinese history characters protrayed as cute bosomy young girls…
They’re using those digital printers at figureprints.com to make people’s World of Warcraft characters into figures for them for $100 a pop. GS must be using the same kind, or at least similar, because they both have weird grainy coloring like someone painted them with colored sand. At least GS is just experimenting and not trying to sell stuff yet. People here are always quick to cash in, and at $115 a figure (shipping included) that’s 4″, anytime someone says collecting Japanese figures is too expensive, I’m inclined to punch them ;).
