Kaai Yuki
Posted by Persocom on Jan 20, 2012 in Music | 14 comments
Back on December 4th of 2009, a Vocaloid named Kaai Yuki (歌愛ユキ) was born, or rather, released. I was quick to dismiss her, as an avid Miku Hatsune fan at the time, for many reasons. For the longest time I heard little to nothing but cover songs of other Vocaloids, which tends to happen each time a Vocaloid is released. In all honesty, I’ve fallen from being a hardcore Vocaloid fanatic to just casually listening to the army of Vocaloids both official and fan made, that have come in the last few years. I’ve only had one of Kaai Yuki’s songs in my playlist that I really cared for since she released, but lately I dug up some more that I can enjoy. So since I didn’t give her a proper welcome when she came out, I thought I’d do this post. Read More
Gothiruselle/Gothitelle by Takaratomy
Posted by Persocom on Jan 14, 2012 in Figure Review | 11 comments
Tonight I’m reviewing something a bit different from the usual, as such I wasn’t sure what to put for the title of the post. We’ll be taking a look at TAKARATOMY MONSTER COLLECTION POKEMON FIGURE – M-041 – Gothiruselle / Gothitelle. Since I’m used to calling her Gothitelle that’s how I’ll refer to her though from here out. I bought this particular figure from JapanVideoGames.com for $8.99. Those possibly interested can buy her here. Originally released on November 30th of last year, she is one of a large collection of new Pokemon figures from the Black & White series. This is the final evolved form of Gothita and Gothorita. She’s one of my personal favorites from the new generation. If you want to learn more about Gothitelle, check the Bulbapedia page. Read More
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
Posted by Persocom on Jan 12, 2012 in Anime Review | 19 comments
Since it recently ended and remains fresh in my mind, I’m going to do a little review of Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai. The title basically means I don’t have many friends. It started airing in October of last year and just finished up right before Christmas. While the setting is one of the most overused and bland (school), I found this a refreshing comedy in that particular area. Apparently Haganai (what we’ll call it for short) was based from light novels, and also had a manga adaption in 2010. I’ve noticed that it also has a Japanese PSP game recently as well. While Haganai wasn’t the best anime of last year, it was quite enjoyable, thus my want to desire to give it a proper review. Read More
Let It Snow!
Posted by Persocom on Jan 10, 2012 in Figure Fun, Life | 14 comments
First of all, it’s been a slow start to the new year, for this blog at least. I’ve been so wrapped up with life and other things that I haven’t had a lot of ambition lately. I guess it doesn’t help that my computer also died on me, so now the three of us are all stuck sharing one laptop. So let’s get this show on the road. Going to do something out of the ordinary and just share some random pictures I took during my son’s Christmas vacation. We finally got enough snow to make our first snowman. I also took some figures out in the snow and such while I could and just had fun. Winter here is usually a roller coaster ride of warm weather that feels unseasonable followed by very seasonable cold. So one day there’s snow, the next you’d swear Spring came early. Read More
Happy New Year 2012!

Happy New Year! Another year has come and gone and it’s time for a new fresh start to a new year. 2011 was a crazy ride, though it had quite a bit of awesome anime. I was going to do some end of the year posts but I’ve felt quite lazy after getting a cold in the last days of December, so I’ll just have to do those posts this month. The year is still early and bright so anything is possible. As usual, no resolutions here, just going to keep doing what I do and see where it takes me. Here’s to a good year for us all! I don’t feel like doing site stats this time around either, my plugins have changed throughout the last year and things got messed up. It hasn’t ever been about stats for me anyway. Thanks to everyone for sticking around with me for this long, let’s see what we can bring in 2012!

Merry Xmas 2011!

Merry Christmas! Most people celebrate Christmas one way or another so what better time to wish you all a happy holiday season and merry Christmas. We did manage to get some snow this year just before the big day, and it seems like by the end of today most of it will be melted away, and we’re looking to have warm weather for a few days. Hopefully everyone is doing fine, and got everything they wanted this year! I’m going to share a few pictures from the now defunct Busou Shinki Diorama Studio that I took while it was still going just for this day! Read More
Tsugaru – Blue Xmas Ver. – Busou Shinki
Posted by Persocom on Dec 24, 2011 in Figure Review | 9 comments
Merry Christmas Eve! Tonight I’m going to review a most appropriate figure, Tsugaru, MMS Type Santa, Blue Xmas Version. She is an older Busou Shinki from Konami, having come out in December of 2007. She is a limited edition release, one of the most rare EX Sets of all. The special thing about her is that unlike the original red Tsugaru, this one comes with a full body, so no need to borrow another. I got her off of Mandarake for a good deal a while back, though I can’t entirely remember what I paid for her. Normally she’s quite a bit more expensive than her original version though. You may remember last year’s review of the original version, you can find that one here. Well then, let’s check out this version! Read More
