News has it that Mx0 will end soon in the coming issues of JUMP. I can’t believe it. I mean, it’s a great series and I’m a big fan of the mangaka. I just hope that it will continue its run on another magazine or something. T-T

What a rush! Camping for Chara Fest. Loads from Amazon and my other special orders. I’ve spent alot this month once again. But I’m happy since I got most of the stuff I want.

Bought myself the Mx0 manga because I love it. Since Shoujo Sect was sent back to Japan, I thought I might as well use the refund to get it. Also got myself sola DVD color. 3 and sola Image Album, Oratorio. I really love the songs in the Image Album, it’s really good stuff. Seems like volume 3 of the DVD is already at episode 9. So I presume the 2 OVAs will be in the next 2 volumes of the DVDs since there’s a total of 12 episodes.

And finally Melty Blood Act Cadenza Version B is here. Time to enjoy the game and the OSTs. Great stuff.

That aside, AATM (All Around Type Moon) poster set was purchased during Charafest. I’m so glad my camping paid off. Now to do a nice review on it soon.

Thanks to Sharon for the gift. Got myself the ef ~a tales of memories~ file which was given at Comiket. Seems like its an exclusive and not for sales item. Lucky! ^^ Also thanks for the nice fan with Fate/Stay Night on it.

And of course… My special order is here too! 2 doujins by Tony Taka. I love his work so much! Now to grab hold of his latest doujin featuring Hayate no Gotoku. Lastly, Haruhi no Gekisou ~Animate Edition~ (or rather… I was given a goodie from Animate). Seems like that was only for sales at Comiket by Animate. Not too sure what’s inside but I’ll check it out soon.

Do look forward to the product reviews of some the goods. To name a few, it’ll be AATM, sola DVD 3, T2 doujins, etc…

Well~ I realised that I haven’t mentioned about this great show. I’ve actually read the manga it really hit me so hard, it’s terrific.

Sypnosis

15 children, 8 males and 7 females, gets involved in a game by a man called Kokopelli. Kokopelli claimed to be a programmer working on a brand new game, in which a large robot has to defend the Earth against fifteen alien invasions. He persuades the children to test the game and sign a contract. All but one of them signs, and suddenly find themself to be awoken at the beach believing what happened was just a dream.

That night, two giant robots appear suddenly by the beach. A small creature, calling itself ‘Dung Beetle’, appears and claims to be their guide. It teleports the children into one of the robot. Kokopelli was inside and controlling the black robot in order to defeat the enemy robot. During battle he gives the children a brief tutorial on how to pilot the robot as he destroys the enemy. Once he has finished he tells the children that they are on their own now and sends them back to the beach. As the children are teleported out, somone observes Kokopelli whispering “I’m sorry”.

In Bokurano, the story tends to focus on one character and their background story. Of course in a game, there are always rules.

It’s been almost a week since the Winter Season has started and after flying to Japan countless time, I found that Venus Versus Virus is one of the shows that really stands out among the rest.

Venus Versus Virus is a Japanese manga series created by Atsushi Suzumi which got serialized in the Japanese Manga, Dengeki Comic Gao! (which is also why I started to buy it to read and flip through the manga) in mid 2005. A drama CD was then created based on the manga series. I don’t have the orginal one but I do have one special drama CD that was given with December 2006 issue of Dengeki Comic Gao!. The manga is good and there’s about 2-3 volumes released by Kadokawa Comics so if you’re interested, you might want to check it out.
