Posted by Persocom on Mar 24, 2009 in Figures | 10 comments
Fuko Ibuki is a character from the anime/visual novel Clannad. I ordered this 1/8 PVC by Kotobukiya from Robert’s Anime Corner Store for $35.08. She is still in stock at the time of this post, if you’re interested in buying her you can find her here. Fuko was and still is one of my favorite characters from Clannad. When she arrived I was worried she might be damaged, because of the condition her box was in. Luckily she was unharmed after all that, although her box wasn’t as fortunate. Read on for a full review and lots of pictures.

First off I’d like everyone to know that despite a long delay, Animatic Figmation the actual site is well under way. It’s up and running right now but I need to do some work on it because of the theme I’m using. I might have one or two more posts here before I completely migrate over to the new site. So everyone prepare for the move. I know I said I was doing it soon a while back but so many little things have delayed me. I’m very eager to finish the final steps before the move. I’m going to be spending the weekend testing things out and messing with it, and hopefully early next week I’ll have it all ready to go. I’ll do one last post here before the big move and go to everyone’s blogs to let them know since I doubt half of the people on my blogroll will even see the post. Read More
Hatsune Miku shirt arrival!
Posted by Persocom on Jul 21, 2008 in Misc | 1 comment
Well I just went to check my mailbox and found a pleasant surprise! I had ordered a Hatsune Miku t-shirt from J-List about a month ago I’d say, and they told me soon after my order that due to conventions they were all out and the shirt was on backorder. Well it’s here now. My very first “anime” shirt. Previously 90% of my shirt wardrobe was band t-shirts, and I had been looking through my closet in disgust at how boring that really is. Sure I love music, and Miku is technically a music program herself, but when I saw the shirt I had to have it. I think it was $18.95, + around $2-3 shipping and handling, which wasn’t bad at all. I’d spend around the same amount at the mall for a band t-shirt. Anyways here’s a couple shots of the shirt ^^
Yeah in the first picture there’s a complimentary package of tissues that came with the shirt. I guess J-list does that with all the orders. Keep them for cleaning my figma? *shrug*
So what is anime to me? You could say anime is my anti-drug quite literally. A lot of anime actually affects me as a whole, for instance “Welcome To The N.H.K.” snapped me out of my unhealthy obsession with online gaming, just at the time when I was getting bored of it anyways, it also made me realize how much of a shut-in I had become. Sometimes I still play online games but I don’t let them suck me in and tune out the rest of the world. This is only one of many issues addressed in this anime but it’s an example of the impact it had on me.
I’d like to share a quote by Dr. Seuss that I think applies to people quite well, related to the subject of how you are perceived by others – “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” This is especially true about those who criticize others about the things they like. If you don’t like something you don’t need to blatantly bash people about it, negativity only breeds more negativity. And now I’ll finish on a positive note. Here’s a picture that I really like because I’m a husband and a father. Parenthood really changes a person’s perspective.
Dango family from Clannad. My son adores the song and the animation to the ED, so here it is for your viewing pleasure. He even draws dango outside with sidewalk chalk!
