Artbook Review: Nanairo Ice

nanairo-ice

Out of all of Japan’s excellent bishoujo artists, Naru Nanao would have to be my favourite. I can’t quite put my finger on why, nor can I use any over-the-top artistic jargon to justify that statement, but in layman’s terms, her character designs are absolutely delicious. Seeing as she worked for companies like minori and Circus and designed some of the more famous eroge characters such as Miyako Miyamura (ef) and Nemu Asakura (Da Capo), I highly doubt that I’m the only one who feels this way about her work.

And if you’re willing to pay up to the overpriced import stores, you can see first-hand why she has earned her place as a personal favourite.

Artbook Review: Shin Moeru Headphone Reader

shin-moeru-headphones

Headphones. Gotta love ’em. We love them so much, in fact, that some company in Japan decided to publish an entire artbook dedicated to the good old headsets/cans/whatever you like to call them. And, like all good things related to Japan, the object in question must, in some way, shape, or form, be connected to either giant robots or cute girls.

I don’t think I need to tell you which category this one falls under.

The Touhou Collection

So, I was looking through some of my old unsorted merchandise recently when I suddenly realized something: I’ve got the entire current-gen Touhou series sitting in my room, still sealed as PaletWeb delivered them. I was thinking of putting them back where I found them, but much like in one of my previous merchandise posts, a familiar thought struck me – I’m a blogger, and what do bloggers do when they have a mass of things that they can’t really use but want to show the world anyway?

Yeah, you guessed it. They take pictures and post them instead of, y’know, actually writing something.

Artbook Review – Happy Soda vol 1

For those of you who may have missed the news, super rats of Happy Soda recently released a figure photography doujin, sold for only a week at lulu.com. I believe the final statistics were that 25 people ordered a copy, and as one of the 25 who happens to run an anime blog, I felt obligated to write a post about it. Besides, for any of you who have visited Happy Soda before, you’ll probably agree that the man’s photography skills are superb – and like always, things look better on paper than they do on a monitor.

The power of eBay – Touhou mousepad

 

A short little post for everyone today, seeing as I have yet to complete Concealed the Conclusion and get a tripod so that I can try my hand at figure photography (though you probably won’t be seeing any of those for a while). Anyway, the purpose of this post is to highlight a little irrelevant piece of merchandise I grabbed off eBay a little while ago; something that, although not rare or valuable, is still pretty useful. What am I talking about, you ask? The title says it all – a mousepad featuring the cast of Touhou 7 – Perfect Cherry Blossom.
