Sena Kashiwazaki by Good Smile Company

A new nendoroid figure of Sena Kashiwazaki from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai by Good Smile Company will be released March 2012.

She comes with her usual upset face, a crying face and an expression with sparkling eyes. She also comes a coach, TV and game console.

The character looks interesting though i haven't watched the first episode of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (I soon will). The eyes are just gorgeous and I love the color. The butterfly in the hair is also great.

Price: 3500 yen

10 awesome Hatsune Miku wallpapers

Hatsune Miku is such a sweet character. For those who don't know, Miku is the name and mascot for the litterally singing synthesizer created by Vocaloid. That name might sound familiar?

Rest In Peace, Steve Jobs

Recommended anime: C³

C³ is a fresh ongoing anime which was aired the first day of October. The series is directed by Shin Ōnuma and written by Michiko Yokote.

Genre: Comedy, action, supernatural

The story centers around Yachi Haruaki who is a high school boy who is immune to curses. His father sends him instruments which are supposed to get rid of his condition. One day Yachi receives a dark cube which is a instrument of "torture". At night he gets to meet the cube in it's human form. The person is a silver haired girl who love rice crackers.

I don't really know much about the plot after the first episode, but it looks okay and to me it doesn't look too important in the anime. You get to meet three characters in the anime. Those are Yachi, who are a cheerful, kind and responsible boy who teaches Fear about life, Fear who is a short and arrogant commander-girl who always denies her mistakes and Konoha who is Yachi's jealous childhood friend. All of them seems interesting and I'm glad there are just three characters (for now) in the series.

The art is very satisfying and the characters are very cute and chibi-ish. C³ can be compared to the anime, Shinryaka Ika Musume. Both are pretty stylized, the setting is much the same and Fear's personality is almost identical to Ika. They even have the same hair color!

Just to mention, the ED song is great!

Japanese Lesson

Japanese Lesson is a great site for learning the Japanese writing systems. Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. The site have good explanations and gives you a better understanding of theme.

There are also free digital exercises you can do in order to practice, though I won't recommend it.

I know it's pretty irrelevant but I have to say I love the design of the site:)

Haqua du Lot Herminium by Max Factory

Good Smile Company has just announced a new nendoroid figure of Haqua du Lot Herminium by Max Factory that will be released in January 2012.

Haqua is a pretty interesting character from The World God Only Knows. She shows a huge amount of arrogance on the outside and she always denies her failures, but deep down she is a good girl who wants everyone to be happy.

The figure looks okay, but I am afraid it's a bit too booring. The angry pose is great though.

Price: 3800 yen
