In which we celebrate Tonkatsu and Ebi Furai no Shippo even more than usual around here.
Read More Sumikko Gurashi: Tonkatsu & Ebi Furai no Shippo Fan BookIn which I miss normal shopping still, but the Sumikko cheer me up like always. I think I mentioned in my past entry I had gotten ensconced in a big project taking up my whole craft room, and it’s organizing my Re-ment collection. I’m a big believer in playing with my toys as opposed to […]
Read More Sumikko Gurashi: Re-Ment Sumikko Gurashi Super de OtsukaiIn which nostalgia pulls me close like a hug, and I’m reminded of the power of Sanrio in bringing people together. Back when I was a kid approximately 3.41 million years ago, I absolutely loved Hello Kitty and Sanrio characters in general. Although I credit anime with making me want to study Japanese and go […]
Read More Book: Sanrio Design The 70s and 80sIn which we get a Sanrio character poll, a ton of cool character coverage, enough dinosaurs to rend my wallet into shreds, and a couple of nifty furoku. I’m back with another really sweet issue of a kid’s magazine, this time the August 2020 issue of Kirapichi. This magazine is aimed at older elementary school […]
Read More Magazine: Kirapichi August 2020In which I’m basically always thirteen years old when it comes to a certain type of good fun fanservice, and cuteness gets involved too, as always. There’s a certain type of “sexy anime guy” franchise that just gets to me. Especially if it’s got a performance element or a particularly exciting look (Twisted Wonderland, I’m […]
Read More Anime Goods: Hypnosis Mic: Goods RoundupIn which, hoo boy, do I have a treat for you! (Albeit, a treat with some crappy photography…) I’m obsessed with furoku — free giveaways with Japanese magazines I think I first talked about here — and since I can’t exactly buy everything I’d like to, I love that I’m not the only one nostalgic […]
Read More Book: 80s Girls’ Manga Furoku CollectionIn which I complete my group of five amazing Ojamajo, and there’s some bitter, but wow, they’re sweet. I mentioned in a previous post that I’d gotten the fifth and last Nendoroid in the Ojamajo Doremi collection, and then someone asked if I’d give my opinion. So I thought I’d get this sweet girl out […]
Read More Anime Goods: Nendoroid Momoko AsukaIn which we have an unboxing and a half. I’ve been spoiled (and my money devastated) by the recent Sumikko Gurashi designs! Lately they’ve gotten me with lots of Tokage with dreamy colors and then the Age Age Agekko lineup starring the fried characters that are my very favorites. (I thought I might get off […]
Read More Sumikko Gurashi: Ebi Furai no Shippo + Tonkatsu Okigae Agekko PlushIn which I try to do crafts, and we all know how that goes, but somehow things turn out pretty nifty nonetheless. Hopefully I haven’t fooled any readers into thinking I’m some sort of crafts wizard, what with my skilful application of stickers and such, but I am in fact pretty consistently bad — and […]
Read More Sumikko Gurashi: WhippleIn which I gripe some here and there, but ultimately love this collection. It feels like a while since I’ve written about Sumikko Gurashi! Two of my favorite things in the world are, of course, Sumikko, and Re-Ment miniatures. So it’s always an especial pleasure to open up a new Re-Ment set with a Sumikko […]
