I Buy, Japan Wins
Small haul compared to my “old” days.
Shining Tear’s Blanc and Ewing (Kotobukiya). Pretty much collecting any and all Shining Tears/Wind related figures so getting these two were a given. Not much to say about the quality since it’s Kotobukiya (do they ever make a horrible figure?) but do wish these were stand-able without the base; those are the best since it gives you something to work with and saves a little on room. Sadly nowadays not feeling that much when I get figures but I guess financially, that’s a good thing?
And speaking of figures, super rats’ HappySoda Figure Doujin 1 arrived a day or two ago as well. It’s super rats, enough said 
(well other than when is the sequel and/or when can I get my copy autographed!?)
Nana Mizuki Artist Scorebook Sing Forever. Yes, this is my second copy since I semi-planned to try to scan some of the images but I hear good scans are floating the internet somewhere. Meh, it’s Nana-chan and having two copies is never a bad thing. If people are still interested, let me know and when I have time, I can try to scan a few images.
Otaku no Video is probably one of the videos any “hardcore”(?) otaku should watch, or so I’ve heard. Honestly been dying to watch this for years but never took the chance to find a copy but since it’s so cheap at TRSI, just bought the darn thing instead. Hope I won’t be disappointed!
SHUFFLE! Live Only For You concert and Live In Tokyo: Kabura 2008 concert. They were cheap-ish and I was on a NAVEL mood when I saw them online. Currently watching the SHUFFLE concert which is interesting, if anything else, seeing how bad camera work was back in 2005 (OMG it’s like I did the camera-ing). If there is enough interest, may try to post a more thorough (or at least something longer than 5 sentences) review later on. No clue about the Live in Tokyo other than it’s over 3 hours long and probably has a lot of NAVEL related songs/performances on it ^^;;
These two particular outfits for Elwing and Blanc Neige are actually their Shining Wind costumes and not from Shining Tears. Not a biggie though.
Kotobukiya has sucked in quality compared to Elwing’s time, recently their drop has me wondering WTF they are doing.
My only complain for Blanc is her base that’s soo simple, but the figure is amazing so it’s (not) ok.
You shouldn’t be disappointed in Otaku no Video if you take it as it is. :3
Whoa, that’s kind of weird to see my book in a haul post. Thanks!^^
Wow you bought another scorebook? XD Great buy. Lol. I just ordered mine recently. got it a few weeks back. XD

I love Otaku no Video but it kind of requires extensive knowledge of 80s anime to get all of the jokes. So, if you haven’t already, watch Space Adventure Cobra, Macross and Naussica before hand…
