After yesterday’s late night update blitz I’m going take things easy tonight and try to catch up on some lost sleep. Today’s topic of discussion: Xamdou. Good robot anime we know next to nothing about, or best robot anime we know next to nothing about?
Coming soon: a look at the new anime season, catching up on recent eroge news, and that guide to Japanese DLsite that we said was coming. It is!
Finally a release date (another one? Hope this doesn’t change again!) for Franco. Hopefully she won’t hit anymore roadblocks T_T Then again I hope they took the time to perfect the figure… I wonder what they worked on with the extra couple months?
That DLsite guide will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your efforts.
BTW, do you know if a gaijin can upload stuff in the japanese DLsite?

According to Alter’s official site “a deficiency was discovered in some of the Franco kits” that caused the delay – something like whatever delayed Max Factory’s Kino, I’m guessing. Looks like the 15th is solid this time, though.

Affirmative, foreigners can sell items on Japanese DLsite (and they can even do pretty well, if the quality is good). An example can be found here (warning: ero).
Arrgh Still no shipment of kotona elegance costume version from Play Asia. One part of me can’t wait for her to arrive and the other part of me enjoys the lull for me to build up money reserves >.<
Hmmm am considering of swapping my preorders for Ruka if she comes out first :-?
So is Playasia usually slow with shipments? I got my Kotona from Hobbysearch some time ago.
I too would like to take a break from these constant releases but there are just too damned many good figures coming out every month.

Normally for me they’re pretty prompt. they prolly just got delayed for the Kotona one. They got my Exelica ready for shipping they day after alter started shipping her.
Wow- loving that Kusangi figure- looks great!
And I order the Yuki pvc months ago- I love it and can’t wait to get her.
FWIW: If anyone’s interested in purchasing Sexual Fantasy Kingdom 2 (the item Shingo linked to as an example of a succesful gaijin game on Japanese dlsite), the unmosaiced, original version is for sale on the English side of dlsite.
>>Ignosco
Good call, kind of silly for me not to list the English version side by side with the Japanese. The English version is available here.
>> Thanks to Shingo and Ignosco
I didn’t know the English version Dlist have uncensored versions. I guess I will be doing some purchasing in due time.
