Death Note: Light "Kira" Yagami Nendoroid PVC Figure

Death Note: Ryuk the Shinigami Nendoroid PVC Figure

There's definitely something fun about old school giant mecha anime. Especially a series like GaoGaiGar which was the last of the King Brave series. (Also a part of the great five different robots/vehicles combine to get a giant robot series.)

I can't wait until Media Blasters releases a boxset for GaoGaiGar. It's just great fun to watch it, and it does have a neat little plot.

Though it could be because of the fun way the series conducts itself. ^_^

I want volume four! It was just starting to get really good and it kinda cliffhanged with something wrong with GaoGaiGar.

So, although Geneon has not licensed and released the Fafner -Right of Left- OVA, I downloaded it. Today was the day I managed to finally watch it. And ooh, boy, does it try to rip your heart out.

( OVA Premise and Description. Spoilers for the OVA and TV series within. )

( Yes, I cried at this ending too. What of it? :P  )

Hopefully, Geneon will decide to release this for a decent price. It's only an hour after all. But I can't think of any OVAs that has been released after the main series has been done by them. (You know, besides Hellsing.)

Dammit! It did cliffhang!

( Disc six... *sniff* )

Have to finish this now. I can't leave this volume when there's only three episodes left to go. *sniff*

So, I crammed in watching Ergo Proxy v. 2 and Fafner v. 4 and while I'm quite glad I did...

Wait...wait...

Daedalus is a GUY?!?! How the hell did I miss that one? I'm usually pretty good about catching these things!

Ahem.

Well, Ergo Proxy is interesting. Volume 2 took it the series in a strange direction, but the whole world is strange right now and I'm just going along for the ride. Still waiting to see how it goes before I start buying the DVDs.

And I am so damn glad I decided to re-watch Fafner v. 4 before moving on with the series. There was soooooo much information thrown about in this volume. (Though Soshi wearing the hot outfit was in disc 3... *sigh*) Really though...these two main characters are a little too close. (In a good way. ^___^ Though I could just be seeing it like that and not as the series intends.)

It was a bit strange watching the brightly colored Fafner then watching the dark-toned and dreary Ergo Proxy.

Now I need to catch some sleep. Didn't realize it would take this long to watch both of them. Though Ergo Proxy had to be returned today...

I'm feeling better. Sinuses still bothering me a little, but much reduced in my suffering from them compared to earlier this week. Mentally, this was the first day this week outside of Monday that I was able to actually concentrate on things. Still pretty much just read forums at work, but since I was recovering, I didn't have to shift around bookcases.

But, I will be so damn happy when my ear pops. Seems they have accumulated fluid again and while this happens every so often when I'm sick, my left ear will not pop right now. Erg.

In not sickness related news, Jump Fiesta has given us new information about Kingdom Hearts Final Mix+. Try visiting maiki's LJ at this post, for some info. Also this community 0kingdom_hearts has two posts over the event.

For fun, please visit BlackLillian's DeviantArt page to see the ongoing Thirteen Days of Christmas. She also has some funny and neat art. And another 12 Days of Christmas is going on at yuukihikari. The first day is sooo cuute!

In the "oh my poor credit card" news, RightStuf has completed (I hope) their 12+ Days of Christmas Sale. I say hope since I already have quite a few I'm eyeing there. Soo many good deals. (Hey, Samurai Champloo is awesome enough to buy at $80, right?)

Also, I picked up Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Cube today. ^_^

OMG! We got in the first collection of Voltron yesterday at the store. We're playing it right now on the TV. And we're having so much fun right now. Of course, I have to comment muchly, because I do that, and Ronin Warriors and Voltron both inspire many comments.

Video-wise, yeah, its from the 80s, but it looks really good for animation that old. Media Blasters cleaned it up a bit before releasing it. The first collection has fifteen episodes and comes in a tin case with the Blue Lion on the front. The second one is going to have the Yellow Lion on the front. It will probably have five collections with the route they're going with the Lions. But that's just awesome.

I was just going to rent it, but watching it again made me realize that I want to purchase it so the next time RightStuf has a Media Blasters sale, I'm so going to order it. (They beat my discount here on those sales.)

It's nostalgia, and its cheezy fun. ^_^

Btw, Media Blasters will be releasing this in the original Japanese next year. They're just releasing the English version first. So, its dub only, but that's what Voltron is.

Soooo, Fuhrer President King Bradley...

How many leadership names do you need to make sure people know that you're the head honcho?

The Princess Princess anime is just silly. Really. But also fun to watch. ^_^

(Would have posted pictures but the darn thing isn't cooperating.)

I just finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist volumes five and six.

All I have to say about it is: woah, that's just...wow.

(Need processing time, so I might post about it again later but that was a lot of info shoved into two discs.)

I have a feeling that this series is now really getting going. I'll be watching volume seven tomorrow.

Also, according to the Leaky Cauldron, Box Office Mojo is reporting that Goblet of Fire is the tenth highest grossing movie of all time. Narnia is currently listed at 30. Let's see how high it can climb.

ETA: Also, need to make that database I've been thinking about lately. I'm starting to forget what I already have since half of my books are behind other books. *shifty look* And my doujinshi...
