Otaku Dan: The Life of an Anime Fan

It seem that the middle of November is not having that many new figures up for preorder. Even thou, there are a few new figures, only one or two are really worth it. Come on in and lets check out these figures.

Index by Good Smile Company. This figure will come out in March for the price of 7,057 Yen

Xecty Military Uniform Version by Kotobukiya. This figure will come out in March for the price of 6,460 Yen.

Girl Friend by Kotobukiya. This figure will come out in March for the price of 7410 Yen.

Creator Labo #23 Blasssreiter Amanda Werner Noshii Illustration Version by Yamato. This figure will come out in April for the price of 11,210 Yen.

Brilliant Stage Idol Master S-4 Miura Azusa Sunshine Yellow Version by MegaHouse. Thi figure will come out in early March for the price of 7,410 Yen.

The only figure that I would get from this batch would be Index. She looks very cute and the detail of the figure is great. For some reason, the Girl Friend figure reminded me xxxHolic, it must be those really long legs. Figma fans would adore that cute Fate figure. So, what are you going to preorder?

We all know that being an anime fan is an expensive hobby with new DVDs, manga, and figures coming out. I wanted to try a little experiment to see how much I would save if I did not buy anything for 2 months. I saved a lot of money, enough to get a DSLR camera. With the money I saved, I deposit most of it into a savings account and with the rest, I did a little shopping.

I also bought Evangelion: 1.01. Originally I was going to buy Bleach season 4 boxset but when I saw Evangelion, I had to buy it. I am going to get Bleach season 4 boxset but I'll wait until season 5 boxset comes out to get them at the same time. I also bought a 4-port Octopus USB hub and a figure. I will reveal the new figure when I do a photo shoot of it. Now lets all quietly stare at Evangelion 1.01.

WOW, let me just start out that, this post is not safe for work. Now that I pointed that out, lets start the review. The other day, while scanning through Yen press manga library, I randomly picked the next manga series I was going to read. Sundome was the winner.

The story is about a 15 year-old high school student Hideo Aiba. He's part the Roman club, which happens to be a paranormal club with a twist, the members vowed to stay virgins until they are out of high school. One day, a mysterious girl transfer to his school and to his luck, he sits next to her in class. Hideo tries to get out of the Roman club to have a chance with this girl but he is forced to become the clubs new president. It sounds bad doesn't it, but the new girl, Kurumi Sahana decides to join the club. This is where the stereotypical high school comedy end.

When Hideo is alone with Kurumi, she asks him to masturbate in front of her with a nail inside his penis(this was one of the most painful thing I had to write in my life). He does it, she laughs and tell him that he will never have sex with her. Their relationship starts out as a master(Kurumi) and slave(Hideo). However, it evolves into a mutual relationship.

This manga has a lot of sexual scenes that either involve Hidoe being teased or Kurumi being pleased. Now the things they do to each other at times, will shock you at times and it will make you wonder what is going on in their minds. The interesting thing that keeps me coming back to this manga is trying to figure out Kurumi's past. Kurumi does not share her past with anyone and seeing Hidoe finding out, makes you understand why she acts that way.

I would like to give this manga a score but I can't, the series is not over yet in Japan. There are some rumors that it will end in November but I don't trust rumors. There is two types of people who I would recommend this manga to are perverts and people who are into figuring a characters psychology.

Recently, I was asked to become a guest writer for Wide Island View. I gladly said yes. The Wide Island View, is the JET programme webzine for the Hiroshima prefecture. This is a great example of guest blogging. Guest blogging is pretty much becoming a guest writer for a blog that is not yours(pretty self explanatory).


There are two ways to become a guest blogger, you are invited or you can ask. The most common way of becoming is getting invited because the person likes your style of writing and/or they just like you in general. You can also ask, it does not hurt to ask but be prepared for any answer.

There are benefits to guest blogging like:
Increase Exposure.
Increase traffic to your blog.
High chance of getting new frequent readers.
Good chance of being asked to be a guest writer on another blog.

Just in case you have any questions, yes I will be writing for Wide Island View, I'm not looking for guest writers at the moment but I will do it in the future, and I don't have a pet ferret.

For the last few days, I have been shopping around for a new game. The last game I bought was Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4(still playing it). A couple of new games have come out and I wanted to get one. Lets see what I got.

I bought Phantasy Star Zero for the Nintendo DS. I have been wanting this game since it was shown in Tokyo Game Show 08. I played a little bit so far and it is pretty good. The gameplay feels like having an MMO in your hands. I'm going to play the hell out of it in this upcoming weekend.

The main reason why I got Wii Fit Plus is that I have not been able to work out as much as I use to due to studying and I HATE MY LOCAL GYM(Its full of fake tanned douchbags who are annoying as hell and the membership fee is expensive). So, have you bought any new games lately?
