I had already heard about this episode of course, reading the summary on Random Curiosity, but then again, like the other episodes of Bakemonogatari, it is always a true blast to listen to the conversations even if you knew what was going to happen. This episode was of course a winner for the Hitagi X Koyomi fans, though much fun was to be had in the conversations between Araragi and Hitagi. Most of the screenshots speak for themselves so this will be a slightly different episodic than usual for the series.

As you might have realized, my posts on figures have been exceedingly lacking because I frankly no longer have the same kind of old passion as I did, but rest assured I still have my figures around, and actually still do preorder them on occasion. But of course, I am not only more restrictive on what I want, but I find that with the lack of passion, I also get less interested in new releases as time goes by. That is a good thing for my finances. The latest Miyazawa Models Expo 2009 Fall is no exception – I found far fewer figures to be interested in compared to last year’s, but for those that I am interested in, why not have a look?

Why, screw you Volks. Just when I thought you might never be able to earn monies off me, you had to go ahead and announce, after the successful implementation of your ultra large doll boobs, the coming of my sixth waifu, Shiranui Mai. Picture above thanks to Moeyo’s report, where you can view more. Wolfheinrich also has a further look at it. Obviously I am not buying because she costs 54,600 Yen (which amounts to something like OMGWTFBBQ in SGD) so yeah. Her face does not exactly look like her as well, though the clothes and the style are the same.

la divina tragedia ~Makyoku~ – Jimang

I think I’ve stretched myself out too thin covering anime and music, so I’m going back to just writing music reviews for anime OP/EDs. Someone asked me a while back to try a negative review, since so far I’ve only focused on reviewing things I liked. Well in trying to think of a song I hated, the Umineko ED theme immediately popped into my head. In contrast to the beautiful OP track, the ED track is terribly disappointing.

Another very late impressions post, this one is the second last of the shows I wanted to catch this fall. Sasameki Koto follows the story of a schoolgirl, Kazama Ushio (the one on the right in this screenshot), who only likes girls, and her long-time friend Murasame Sumika, who is secretly in love with Kazama. This yuri shoujo tale was something I wanted to give a shot at, and so I did.
