M.A.H.O.

Material Accumulation However Outrageous. MAHO for short.

My Saber plushie from HLJ finally came in! For $31, I have to admit is a pretty good deal after seeing the actual size of the plushie. I didn’t think the plushie was going to be so big either as it must be at least equal height to my Clayz’s Saber PVC. Now I kind of wish I pre-ordered the Rin and Sakura ones
I’m still debating whether or not to leave the plushie in the bag.

Minami Kuribayashi’s “Crystal Energy” CD Single from Amazon.co.jp. 10x better than the first opening song for Mai-Otome for two reasons: high-paced “energtic” song that matches well with the OP sequence and Nina is the cover girl for the single! Nina >> Arika+Mashiro = Nina for teh win

Sachi Tainaka “Disillusion” CD Single also from Amazon.co.jp. Simply awesome as the opening song for the Fate/Stay Night anime is a remix of the already great opening from the game, “This Illusion”. Also doesn’t hurt that the CD single included a limited edition Saber trading card. It will go well with my other (casual clothes) Saber card from the Fate/hollow ataraxia CD single

Mai-HiME Bakuretsu Fuuga Gakuen Gekitou Shi for the PSP even though I don’t own a PSP (yet)! I know the game is one crappy 3D fighting game, but it’s Mai-HiME dang it! The only thing I’m pissed about, beside not having a PSP to play the game, is YesAsia screwing me (and other folks like R8) by not giving us the included 22-page artbook for the game. Currently R8 and myself are starting a two-man compaign to burn YesAsia’s HQs if they do not give us our artbooks… anyone else want in?

Galaxy Angel A Complete Collection from TRSI’s Bandai Studio Sale. There really isn’t any reason not to get at least one complete Galaxy Angel series as its pure comedy at its best (and worst). Nothing like a bunch of mentally screwy girls in command of vast power “accidentally” destroy random objects all in the name of the common good, right?

Amaenaideyo!! Katsu!! LE v1 from Amazon.co.jp. This is actually the first DVD I have ever bought from Amazon.co.jp since I usually get them through CDJapan. I have to admit, it is definitely worth while doing the majority of my R2 shopping on Amazon.co.jp since they offer better rates and deals. Plus their standard shipping arrives within two weeks! Anyway, Amaenaideyo!! Katsu!! is so obviously a fluff series that I would never pick up in R2 form, but thanks to the new character Kazuki it seems I may drop the cash for the entire second season. Only five volumes… at a cost of ~$40… so…

Yep, new mp3 player in the form of a iRiver H10 20GIG mp3 player thanks to Woot.com. The sad thing is I spent half the day debating whether or not to drop the $195 for the player, eventually giving in to impulse buying again. I also have no clue how I am going to fill up 20GIGs with “current” music but at least I’ll never have to worry about deleting songs from the player for a long time.

Bandai released a complete collection of GA already? Hmm.. Might have to look into that one later in the year. Somehow I’m glad that YA auto-cancelled my M-H PSP order for me a while back. I’d be pissed too if I didn’t get something that was meant to be included in the first place.
LoL! Can’t believed that you spend so much! And a Mai HiME PSP game though you don’t have one? Man! I wouldn’t think about it. Oh yeah, the Saber plush sounds cheap. When u said $31, u meant USD ya? Also love Nina! LoL! Nina >>> Arika and Mashiro. Then again… Natsuki >>> ALL!!!
Oh yeah! Love the disillusion singles. Is the card random? Or is it Saber all the way? o.0
Hehe, cool stuff! = ) Still, me thinks Dream Wing is better than Crystal Energy, but it´s still cool. = P
And personally, Nao
Rawr…it cut off me comment! D : Well, just wanted to say that Nao is teh coolest..xD Well, sorta.
bakaboobie, yes it sucks. Surprised too since YesAsia has been rather good to me in the past. Guess I know *never* to order games from them ever again.
bj0rN`-, yes $31USD from HLJ. And for the “Disillusion” CD Single, the card is not random. All first press versions got the same Saber card
TehShaw, I guess I am more into the fast-pacish type of music
And yes, personally for me it’s Natsuki >= Nao >> Nina >> Arika+Mashiro.
Wow…
Is PSP just a game for the anime? Is it very expensive, or is it about the price of a DVD?
O, and you’ve brought an iRiver as well. Did you have any thought of buying Apple’s 60 gigabyte iPod, which could let you bring over hundreds of hours of anime on travel?
heh, i guess are bitching sorta pulled thru, now to wait for the shipping confirmation for the complete victory and champagne
Dude, you seriously need to send some of that $$ over here instead… people are starving to death here! :X
Which anime is the first image, from the top, from? Thanks in advance.
Honey & Clover, while the particular image is from the “Special F” DVD only episode.
Woah, that was fast, thanks for the answer.
I usually do my Japanese game shopping from Lik-Sang. They offer Japanese original software at reasonable price, cheap, cheap, cheap shipping and usually include all the bonus items.
I WANT UR TAINAKA SACHI’s DISILLUSION GIVE IT TO ME! >_
Booom
se alguém conhece ou fala Português, estou aqui \o/

“I love animes too, and I taste of otakus…

Bye \o/

I have an iriver too, but is only 6 GIG, ’cause I wouldn’t know how to use 20 GIG (I haven’t even got full mine, just have like 2.5 GIG of space used).
And gotta love Amaenaideyo, it’s just too funny, and I would like to know the best site3 where I can buy it, and could you do a Wallpaper of this anime, please? Thanks.
BYE!
