A package from Japan? Nendoroid Miku Hatsune Support Version has arrived!!!

Actually....I am not sure if it was from Japan. But in my MOG WHEEEE moment the box was pretty trashed and thrown away. And I am not digging it out of the garbage. XD

But behold Miku and her cute pom poms and flag have arrived. A little back story on those who did not order this cutie. We international buyers were told when our nendoroids were going to get shipped out and since it was getting shipped EMS (I think it was EMS....) it would get here really fast. Well something happened and all of our orders were going to be shipped ground. Good Smile Company sent us all an apology, that our nendoroids might take up until October to reach us, and that they were refunding us the 2000 yen shipping.

My husband asked why I was using the Pokemon card. Apparently he wants everyone to know where we live. XD

So imagine my super surprise when I came home shopping and I had a package waiting for me. It was funny because I had bought my husband some pokemon promo cards so I walked in saying "I has a surpriiiiiiiiiiiiiise" and he answered "so do IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII". XD So today was a productive day and we both got happy surprises!

Also I did rotate all the pictures but apparently that means nothing to photobucket and they are still crazy. Sorry. :(

The mess that is my dining room table. Trying to organize all the papers I got while in Japan so I can scrapbook. That one picture isn't...naughty. XD It is a clothing punk store ad I think. Somewhere in Harajuku because that BETTER be the Harajuku pile.

Miku is all smiles. Welcome to your new home.

Hello my newest nendoroid! How many versions of Miku do I need? All of them apparently as I went through MyFigurineCollection last night. XD But since this one went to a good cause it was a must for me.

Miku Support Version only comes with a few new pieces. We all knew that before purchasing her. But since Miku Support Version goes towards helping Japan after the devastating tsunami/earthquake that occurred in March I don't think many people mind. She was put out so quickly by Good Smile Company I am surprised at the new pieces we did get.

New items mixed in with the old.

Something new and fun about Support Miku is the box itself. Usually nendoroid boxes have the figurine in different poses and faces. This box had none of that. Instead it was little cartoon versions of Miku. And each and every picture is so cute. X__X I want to display the box.

Top of the box. At first I was like um...I hope this is a nendoroid because the box is looking kinda weird........

Cheer us on Miku!

I wonder how much time was spent on just the box. So cute. XD

WEEE look at Tenchi not being able to get the pom poms right. Because turning things is hard. But Miku will make it work because she is a professional. I just love my new little nendoroid.

Much better. Miku is cheering you on Japan. Japan is facing a really tough time right now but if they (and other countries) pull together they can recover from this devastating natural disaster. And since Japan is the land of super efficient output hopefully they can recover faster than expected.

Oh hi don't mind me and my crazy looking leg!

I had a hard time figuring out which hand went on which arm. But getting the flag into the hand wasn't that hard so yay for that. You can make it a traditional flag or make the music note version.

Close-up of the fan. On the other side it is blank so you can write messages.

If you missed out on Miku Support Version have no fear. Well maybe a little. But the Good Smile Company is going to continue to produce the Support Versions of some nendoroids. So if you have yet to give to Japan or want to keep on giving Good Smile Company will keep giving you opportunities to own small pieces of plastic AND help other people.

Standing up straight for Japan.

Miku is always ready to sing her heart out. I really love the eyes on this version.

WEEE. Music note version of the flag. On the bottom it says "You are not alone".

So that is about it with my Miku Support Version. After Sunday I rearranged my cabinet to fit all the Japan nendoroids. Where shall Miku live? X__X XD But I shall find a place. Thanks for stopping by my post of way too many pictures. Always show Miku some love!

Yuri Yuri episode 9

X___X I am surrounded by crazies. I can be somewhere else when something happens and I am still blamed for it. I am so specific with that scenario am I not? But yes. Apparently I am just so evil I can do things without even being near of what I am being accused of. OH and customers are creepy. I love my job!

However I will plaster on a happy face. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as productive as Sunday was. I has plans folks. Grocery shopping, going to the bank, going to the post office. Such fun adventures. My own slice of life special if you were.

I see dead people. Or blue floating lights. Something anyway.

Speaking of Slice of Life…it is Yuri Yuri episode 9 time. Slice of Life sprinkled with some yuri flavors of course. Spoilers for Tenchi blogging while watching The Crazies at the same time.

I am here to scare the panties off you!

Episode Summary: After a spooky opening we see the girls….melting away in the summer heat. Kyoko decides to beat the heat by telling spooky stores. Kyoko entertains the crew with ideas of scaring Chitose and Ayano but all of them are too farfetched. Also Chinatsu is a little baby about everything. After that everyone declares it hot. There is talk about going to the student council office but that gets side track when Kyoko makes tea to thank Yui for the awesome idea of…going to the student council office. After a quick hairdo change Kyoko introduces everyone to her…instant freeze spray. That cools them off for a little while. The girls then discuss what kind of super powers they would like to have. Kyoko declares everyone’s lame but hers….even though hers is pretty lame. Then it is hot again.

Um is that alien technology?

Much to Chinatsu’s sadness (as she just secured a spot on Yui’s lap) they finally decide to go to the student council office. Kyoko builds up how there is going to be a ghost in there and Chinatsu is like X__X. Then when they arrive there is a girl they never seen before acting all creepy like. All the girls panic and run, leaving Akari to be sacrificed to the ghost. A teacher and Ayano eventually walk in. The teacher is Nana and the girl is Rise, the actual student council president. Nana eventually explains that she accidentally did something to Rise’s voice thus the girl can’t talk and appears to be creepy like. Ayano is like…oh okay and walks out with Chitose. Nana is going to hang out in the student council room because she got in trouble for blowing up the chemistry room. Rise is okay with being a guinea pig because she likes Nana. Nana talks about how she is going to fly pretty soon and maybe one day her house will have a roof. Yui, Chinatsu, and Kyoko eventually return to rescue Akari but instead the student council room blows up. Chitose and Ayano walk by and introduce the crazy people to the girls. But Kyoko is like…oh hi random teacher and creepy girl, I am stealing ice cream! In the midst of the ice cream heist Akari walks by saying she has been helping a teacher the whole time and never came to the club room. MOG Ghost! The end!

So…this show is weird right? And now it is weird with way too many characters.

Summer....already?

Also wasn’t it just Christmas a few weeks ago? Two weeks ago they went on Christmas dates and the next week it really didn’t say what time of year it was. Maybe Spring cleaning I guess. But summer? Is this the first season of K-On! or something? Things are going way too fast. Also I see you trying to be Ouran Host Club. The second yearers are going on a school trip? If it really is summer again they are third yearers. I SEE YOU!

Kyoko was so bored she tried to kill herself.

So the main 4 girls hanging out in the club room…was slightly boring. However I can contest to how authentic that scene was. Well the first half of the episode, not scene. It can get so hot sometimes it melts your brain and you start talking about stupid things with your friends. We can’t be that entertaining when we are melting all over the place.

TV can be deadly folks.

Kyoko did her best to be entertaining though. She is trying to keep spirits up. Although I kinda fear the instant freeze spray than any of the actual ghost stories. I thought that is where this episode was heading but apparently I was wrong. Chinatsu was slightly annoying with her MOG STOP IT GUYS when they barely said anything scary…or really anything at all. I would call her Mio but I am sure Mio wouldn’t want to be linked to that pervert.

Kyoko...flying is awesome. What is wrong with you?

The super power conversation could have gone places. But since these girls didn’t watch Heroes it went nowhere. NOWHERE. The only one that was decent was the flying thing. What is wrong with you Kyoko? I think I would want to cry 100 dollar bills. I did say something ELSE before I typed that but then I realized what I would have to do to retrieve the money. But yes. I want to cry out money folks. That is my super power.

For someone who is scared a lot she sure does know some horror movie stuff...

I think the girls should have tried to scare Chitose and Ayano. That would have been fun to watch. Then it would turn out to be Chizuru and she would hate Kyoko even more. See, isn’t that fun?

The second half of the episode was weird though. We are on episode 9 and they introduce two new characters? We barely see Sakurako and Himawari as it is and I think that is painting why I don’t like them that much. I don’t see them besides bickering. I haven’t seen any growth or resemblance of why they might like each other. So to me they are a waste of space.

No more new people please!

So….why are we adding in two new characters? Seems unnecessary. Also I really thought Chitose was the President of the Student Council. I just did for some reason.
Rise might be more…memorable if she could actually speak. The whole not being able to communicate with anyone was bit weird. Ms. Nana understood her just fine because they are THAT CLOSE but I was thinking maybe that Rise would get an antidote at the end of the episode. She does eventually speak though right? I see someone is listed as her voice actress.

What? This was supposed to be a picture of Rise? Sorry.

In any case I see Rise as the 9th wheel on this bus of crazy. I mean I know she is paired up with the teacher (GROSS!!!) but her being around the group is….out of place. Really, she was at the beach and no one noticed her? Well I guess if she can’t talk that could really happen. But still. Not feeling Rise.

Explosion friends are always there when you need them. Or when you need to have some awesome fireworks.

Nana on the other hand had a hilarious line in this episode. I am tired of crazy scientists and teachers who act more like friends. But explosion friends? Hilarious. HILARIOUS! Nana was worth being on my screen if only for that moment.

Hopefully not another new character!

Other than Akari being a spirit…or whatever that is about it for this episode. Nothing amazing but slices of life sometimes have…..slices of life. Not slices of amazing adventures every single day. Although I don’t think this series needs anymore girls. We are full now thank you!

Next week it looks like we are actually getting a school trip episode. I thought the girls were all going to the hot springs together?

Nendoroid #107: Princess Feena greets you warmly!

X___X My fingers!!!

Today I decided to take all the blog pictures for the remaining nendoroids I purchased in Japan. AKA almost all of them because I am a huge slacker/been busy lately. But I just decided it needed to be done. Doing one a day wasn't really...happening as I kept saying Oh I can do it tomorrow. SO now all my lovely treasures are out of their boxes and properly displayed in my cabinet. Next order of business though will be to get a bigger glass cabinet though.

About time you let me out of the box!!!

So up first on the blogging schedule is Princess Feena. Enjoy!!

So I am not going to lie. I didn't know about the lovely Princess Feena before going to Japan. But since I was determined to spend every cent/yen of my spending money in Japan and my lovely girl with the white hat got bought (knew the deal was too good to wait) I decided to stuff my suitcase with one last nendoroid and Feena got chosen.

Kind of a weird way to start off a post right? Almost didn't get you HAHA!!!!! But for those of you (and me) who don't know Princess Feena is from a game turned anime called Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na. Once upon a time Earth went to the Moon to establish a new home. But the new colonist I guess wanted to separate from Earth. Now in the future better relationships between the two are trying to take place and Princess Feena from the moon is sent to live on Earth for a while to understand their past.

My husband was playing a really boring video game all day so I banished myself to the bedroom to take pictures. Different scenery I know!

Close up of the crown. Everyone princess needs one right?

Close up of the dress. Princess Feena didn't really come with that many extra parts. Sadness fills my heart.

Her stand was really different from what I am used to. Don't know why she needs something complicated as she is not top heavy or has heavy accessories.

The Harajuku Lover girls are jealous. None of them have scepters XD.

I am sure Princess Feena rules the Moon with a kind heart. Or will after she comes to Earth and finds out YAY glad my people left that dump. XD So positive my attitude on life. Was the anime all fluffy and such?

I am sure the sunflower makes more sense if one is familiar with the series. I do love her simple little poses though.

Smile for the camera. XD

I was slightly disappointed in the face options. Two of them were practically identical. Princess Feena didn't come with many extra pieces so when two of faces are so similar it is almost like a waste.

At least one of the faces looked a little different. Does she sing in the show/game? Very elegant anyway.

And that is about it. Thanks for stopping by to visit with Princess Feena, ruler of the Moon People. Too bad she is not a Forest person yes? XD

Blood-C episode 7: Saya's headaches are contagious

So sleepy….must stay awake…..

In other news my cat IS sleeping with her eyes open and snoring. It is sorta creepy. Like a Sc-Fi movie or something. I am not talking like eyes slightly opened. I mean halfway opened and she is sitting up. My cat better not be a demon. She is actually the good one.

When will my reflection show who I am innnnnnnnnnnnnnside!!!!

And then there is Blood-C time. SO MAGICAL. Spoilers for Tenchi not wanting to write an episode summary.

Stupid humans not letting us eat them and all.

Not an episode summary: 5 entire minutes are dedicated to Saya being sad because she sucks and can’t save anyone. Dad is like no no, keep on fighting LIKE YOUR MOM! Saya keeps getting the SAME HEADACHES and the SAME vision and nothing is accomplished. Then we get the floating blood scene. Saya is sitting there like a zombie while someone talks about an experiment. To see who is right but they need more people to accomplish it. IT! Saya wakes up and despite being told not to go out alone goes out alone. She runs into the doggie who starts talking again. He basically says Hi my name is Watanuki and someone wished me to come here to confuse you. Saya senses he is not evil so she listens. Basically all the Watanuki dog says is WHO made you promise to fight the Baddies? That goes on for like 5 minutes until Saya wakes up.

If Saya WAS a fairy she would sparkle and glow herself back to perfect health.

Saya decides to go to school and dad is like okay…as long as you kill the baddies. First she stops by Fumito’s so she can pretend her two friends aren’t dead and drink some poison coffee. Yay smiles!!! She goes to school to find it close MOG. Ms Teacher Lady says oh both the twins are missing so monsters must have ate them. Saya thinks that is the weirdest thing ever but says nothing and walks home. The lone police officer offers to walk her home so naturally he is killed 5 seconds later. Baddie comes out of nowhere but doesn’t want to have anything to do with Saya since she sucks. She is like FIGHT ME. Then he goes your mom OH WAIT you don’t have one!!!! He talks about how the Saya he used to know was a lot better at fighting and hotter so humans suck for breaking the covenant and also YOUR DAD! Well we got to defend dad so Saya despite almost being hacked to pieces kills the Baddie in one blow. Shinichiro walks by and goes oh…..so what is why you are always covered in Band-Aids. THE END!

I want to know where all the people on the internet work. Really I do. I want to know what kinds of jobs these people have. Because apparently they have a never ending supply of crack. One must be HIGH to say such positive things about this show and mean it.

I mean…I guess this episode sucked less than the previous 6. Episode 6 wasn’t that bad either so I will just previous 5. But instead of shooting us in the head CLAMP is cutting off a limb. Just because episode 7 wasn’t a turd sammich doesn’t mean it was a delicious piece of cake with a side of Code Red. More like Big Brother Slop.

I can’t remember the last time a plot point was introduced so slowly. But if we do get answers to burning questions it will turn out Saya is a Forest Fairy with a twin brother who may be the key to stopping killer bees. And I don’t know if my soul can handle anymore Forest Fairies. I really don’t.

That is Saya. WE GET IT! Now have her get it!!!

The point I am trying to make is with No. 6 each week Sion was like “Nezumi, why do you hate No. 6?” And Nezumi would either hit him or strangle him or dance with him. He would AVOID it. It made us viewers go MOG TELL ME NOW! The opposite seems to be happening with Blood-C. Or maybe it is the same thing and I am not thinking straight. Each week we see the TINIEST of slivers into Saya’s past. TINY. And each week we get like .05 of a second of new material. Her flashbacks appear to become larger but they really are just adding in all the recent deaths. In terms of Saya’s past we are getting NOTHING.

Don't cry yet. You have 3 other friends that have to die first. Can't waste all your tears.

And that is pissing me off. Not driving me crazy in wanting to know but wanting to throw my computer out the window in frustration. There is a difference between anticipation and …whatever I am feeling right now. ASK QUESTIONS SAYA! Granted I might not trust some 6 armed crazy dude that just cut the only police officer in half. But don’t you want to know who you made this promise to? Don’t you want to know about the covenant? Don’t you want to know why yo eyeballs turn red and no matter how many times you are sliced up you are okay? DON’T YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THE COFFEE?!

Did you miss story hour....

My point is this is episode 7. But the pace is so slow I feel like I am watching Namek slowly blow up. But we have 30 seconds left which is 5 more episodes. We have spent too much time on singing songs, eating sweets, and Saya’s dad saying the exact same thing 483948 times. If I have to see that sword cut across the screen one more time I might scream. Of course we want to see good character development and all but there has been little to no growth. All this crazy crap is happening to Saya and she is so fluffy in the brain she is not questioning anything. Or getting better at fighting.

MMMMMMMM it tastes like dead human flesh!!

And really. Really. Her besties get sliced and nommed and she is able to drink coffee, to pretend to put on a happy face. Get out there and fight, yes. But fake smiles and having flirty moments with Fumito? Disrespectful.

I knew something was up when Saya said she didn't have a TV. It is all coming together now.

But since this is not a turd sammich some things DID happen in this episode. More of something Saya can’t remember is of her and some dude talking about an experiment. Two people have set up a wager and Saya seems to be the key factor in deciding who is right. Perhaps it is to see if an Ugly in human form (Saya) can actually develop a soul, be a good person. And this entire town is full of test subjects that Saya must protect.

If your sword is so awesome why can't it kill us in one hit?

After 6 Arms got done talking I am not sure if Saya’s dad is one of the two people with the wager. He said things like Oh is THAT what your dad said, that you had a MOM? That the sword is sacred? AHAHAHA! But then he called the dad a fool. So there is no doubt that Saya’s dad is lying. But the extent of the lying is what is in question.

Fumito better be a liar. Him and his fake shop. Like hello Saya no one else is ever there and he gives you all that food for free? It does sound like his voice in the floating blood scenes. So obviously he must be a scientist or head ugly or something. SOMETHING! Because that is not coffee my friends. At this point I think it is something that makes her powers suck or something. Why the heck does she wait until the last second to actually do some damage?

Yep a shop that I am trapped myself in and now I lead a miserable life so I am here to grant someone a creepy wish YAY!

But the real reason everyone is like MOG I LOVE YOU CLAMP is the talking dog. It be Watanuki. I saw some people saying it was Yuuko. You know, the DEAD person. HAHA I love spoilers. But yes it is Watanuki. Don't know WHEN it is Watanuki but hey. He gets to leave the shop. So it is after Tsubasa.

Saya needs a lot of help here. Give her some clues.

This is the most interesting part of the show and yet…it drives me crazy too. Someone made a wish? A wish for what? Tell ask Saya the same thing over and over again? SUPER HELPFUL WISH! Hope they didn’t give you an eye or anything important since they aren’t getting their money’s worth. I like that Mr. Doggie is trying to get Saya on the right direction but it seems to be a SLOW direction. I am not an Ugly but are the Uglies THAT bad? I can’t tell you WHO sent me but maybe you shall trust me more than the 6 armed crazy pants right?

Twins for everyone!!!

So yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Watanuki is a puppy! All is connected. This makes XXXholic’s ending suck less. This makes Gate 7 the best manga ever. This makes Blood-C awesome. Just so exciting.

That's okay, I can walk myself home.

Other points of interest include the teacher acting creepy. Like durp something is up with you Ms This isn’t my field of study. Everyone in town is stupid. There were PEOPLE in the store last episode that did not die. They watched other people die, including Ms Twin. Also there was a blood splatter on the ground with a foot and some organs scattered around. Unless this town also gets the censors couldn’t the one cop in town put two and two together?

Blood makes a great moisturizer? I would have never known.

The only one with a brain in this episode seems to be Shinichiro. Or I guess I should say EYES. Now that there is a real life witness to the crazy what will happen? Well now that the dog turned out to Watanuki I would say…Shinichiro will die. Maybe. If we can see beyond the censors.
