Please pardon the lack of images in this post; the new image uploading functionality of WordPress 2.5 is a significant step back from what was previously in place, and until I can figure out a way around it it’s going to require a bit of jury-rigging to get things looking decent.
Before I hit the sack tonight, I’d like to heartily recommend checking out the new promo video up for Toshokan Sensou. The premise seems a bit trite to me (girl thinks a guy who saves her is cool so she joins the book preservation corps to be like him), but the disparate elements that make up the show are interesting enough and the production values are there to make this one worth keeping an eye on.
Finally, from the shameless commerce department: HD affiliate programs are now available for both CD Japan and a renewed YesAsia (they switched programs at the end of the year and I neglected to renew). Any purchases made via either of the links below will provide HD with a small percentage of the item’s sale price, and should you be so inclined such a gesture is immensely appreciated. More info on this in the appropriate locations soon.
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention – Wafuudou Ganguten’s Manyuu Chibusa came in tonight, and in the process of reviewing her I had one of the bigger figure-related surprises I’ve had in awhile. It turns out her chest is castoffable – literally.
Chibusa is currently in stock at Play-Asia, if you’d like to support HD with your purchase. :3
lol @ the cast-offable chest :D
boo @ cast-off chest :(
It’s a trap!
is it just me or did Chibusa’s boobs get smaller? lol
great Kureha, i’m fan! :p
Kotobukiya’s Blanc is nice, but why go back to the same character well? There’s plenty of other characters from the series they’ve yet to do! ;_;
What!? In my opinion, the Wordpress new image uploading system such a step in the right direction. It has been faster and easier to use images in my blog now because of it…
And also, is that some cast-off chest XD
