DLsite Recommendations (how to buy)
A Juan Gotoh classic CG set (”single route visual novel”) from 2004, containing 48 images and a few animated scenes.
- EVAのレイがシンジを出産した場合 – EVA no Rei ga Shinji wo Shussanshita Baai
Quite the maniac item – the title translates as “if EVA’s Rei gave birth to Shinji”, and based on that the content is pretty much what you’d expect. Contains 15 base CG + 65 variations, from circle Koboshi no Niwa.
- 火葬パーティー ～喪服未亡人の淫乳搾り～ – Kasou Party ~Mofuku Miboujin no Chichishibori~
Another maniac item, this one with art from Kohaku Sumeragi and production from newly created Pin Point sub-brand Kingpin. The title translates as “Cremation Party ~Milking Widows in Mourning Clothes~”, and unsurprisingly that’s exactly what the game is about. Features animated scenes and full voice (female characters only).
- メイド運命録 – Maid Unmeiroku
Maids! The flagship title from newly created doujin circle Yamitsuki Koubou is about them. Maids, that is. A demo movie is available here; the game contains a whopping 350+ CG images (variations included) and features a “double cast” voice system – the female characters are fully voiced twice, and you can switch between different seiyuu’s interpretations of the lines at will.
Whew! Somehow made it through another week. It’s going to be a busy weekend as well, with several new figures released that are demanding reviews as well as prep to get started on for Futaket… I’m debating whether or not to hit Comic1 on Sunday, thinking I may opt to give it a miss and use the time to attempt some feeble doujin scratchings of my own.
Until tomorrow, then – Shingo out!
Hmm. I’m kind of upset that the character designs in Uchuu Kaizoku Sara don’t resemble Jago-Sou’s in the slightest. To be honest, I’m not that interested in ero anime, so it’s not a huge issue, but it would have been cool to see something animated in the style of his art.
Agreed, it is something of a letdown. I’m surprised at the varied levels of quality between the titles in Pixy’s lineup; I assumed back when the brand launched that it would all be bargain basement animation given the low price, but they’ve produced some surprisingly good stuff along with the occasional eyesore. A pity Sara seems to be leaning toward the latter end.
I think that this Queens Blade figure may be the first non alternate that I’ll pass on. But I the if you give a review ,Shingo; I might have to reconsider based on whats said.
P.S. Queens Blade rulz

Boost Alice will definitely be a high review priority once she comes out. Here’s hoping she’ll be relatively easy to come by post-release…
Hitozuma-Kui is looking like a must buy . . . .
Shizuka’s probably going to be the first QB figure I get. I missed out on both issues of Echidna and, more recently, Nyx, both of which I highly regret :(
On the subject of figures (but unrelated to anything is this post), will figure companies provide replacement parts for figures you have purchased if you request nicely? I have an Ignis the White who has lost her left boob-cover. Not that I particularly mind, but we can’t have her half-nekkid when the relatives visit…
