Uncompatible Faceplate, Y U SO...

In the previous post, I posted a photo about my new collections, and Nendoroid Petite Sawako Exclusive was one of them. To be honest, I haven't completed K-On series, I just bought the figure because of its hair and body parts. ^^;

To check the compatibility (of Sawako's hair and others petit faceplates), I just teared the section that contains the back hair part.. as you could see.. the rest of Sawako's parts is still unopened..

 

Worst nightmare was happened when I realized that the faceplate can't be switched with another petites I had. orz
Suddenly lost my mood to play with it.. up until now, my Sawako petite parts (except the back hair) is still sealed in the plastic..
I dunno.. maybe I'll sell it.. sorry Sawako.. :(

Another Package

Updated my wishlist, and.. let's see.. who had coming yesterday..

I got no time for "photo session" yesterday, so I guess I'll upload some photos later..

Yeah.. things have changed.. so expect random posts like that in the future.. :p

Meet these New Collections!

Well, some goods have arrived several days ago..
Let's take a look at them! If I'm not mistaken, I ordered petit Mello and Homura, also niitengo Ayase, Anri, Kida, and Mikado..
Here are them..

Wake Up from Hibernation..

A bit lazy to post something right now! >.<
Not to mention that I have two other blogs that haven't been updated..

Anyway.. about the pic above.. yes.. it's my new collections.. which I haven't reviewed yet..
Maybe someday I'll do a proper review about it.. but for now, let's stick with some pictures.. >w<

A Quick, Short Review

Just updated my wishlist.. :p

Ah, but today main topic is not about the wishlist. This time I'll make some quick, short reviews for the recently finished anime(s) --except for Robotic;Notes and Puchimas!, since I already wrote drafts for them._.v--.
Please note that by 'recently', I mean it as 'since my last review'. :p

Nendoroid Petite Bakemonogatari

Setelah sebelumnya otak-atik nendoroid Kurisu, kali ini saya mau otak-atik nendoroid petit. Ohya, untuk nendoroid Light sepertinya tak akan saya bahas dengan detail, karena part dan pose-pose Light (standard, smirked, annoyed, & smiled) sudah pernah saya tampilkan fotonya di post sebelumnya.

Kembali ke nendoroid petit yang jadi bahasan kali ini. Ta-da!

Angkasa

ingatkah kau akan mega yang membuat senja merona
pula sang surya, yang menggeliat manja menuju peraduannya
melukis cakrawala dengan semburat mesra
di angkasa, milik kita berdua

Haganai NEXT (4th-8th Episodes)

4^th Episode. The Neighbors’ Club came to an amusement park, and ride the roller coaster right off the bat. That Rika roller coaster scene.. win!! XDThat aside, in the previous Haganai summary, I said something about Yukimura’s identity.. and IT WAS REVEALED in this episode.. here come our reverse-double-trap! XD

5^th Episode. Yukimoar in a butler uniform. XD
That Mayo Chiki parody.. Even there are some scenes from MayoChiki in Haganai version! XD
By the way, Rika is scary sometimes..
Even there are Doraemon, and Steins;Gate parody too! XD

6^th Episode. It was revealed that Kodaka and Yozora were childhood friend. Anyway, that preparation for culture festival... Rika's tsundere maid and Yozora's fortune telling... XD

7^th Episode. Kobato's birthday party.. The neighbors club members bought presents for her.. each with their own styles.. even Maria, too. XD

8^th Episode. Continuation for the preparation for culture festival. This time, the club make a movie.. and the script writer is.. Yozora. :D

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun Finished

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun reminds me to Kimi ni Todoke. ^^

Why?

They have similar art work.. their story is about high school life.. their story was told from the main heroine point of view, and the most important is.. they both shoujo-type-story with first love feelings theme. The heroines in both of the stories experience some feelings that they never had before.. their world change after they met the main male character.. in a cute way. :)

Of course, the story and the plot are different. Kimi ni Todoke revolves around a non-stand-out, gloomy girl (Sawako) and a popular, cheerful boy (Kazehaya).. where Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is about a cold, study-freak girl (Shizuku) and a delinquent, carefree, yet smart boy (Haru).

Kazehaya is a charming boy (I should admit that he always gives a fresh impression, no matter how many times I rewatch Kimi ni Todoke), while Haru is more boyish.. he is cool in his own way.

Story. 8/10.

Hayate no Gotoku: Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Kuroko’s Basketball, and Guilty Crown Finished

Hayate.
Yup. Finally I watched the last three episodes.
Let’s get it straight. All the pieces matched and all the questions answered.
7/10. End.

Kurobas.
Fun story ‘till the end! >.<
Kurobas season 2 is definitely going to be my PTW list! :)
Story: 7/10, +1 because of Midorimacchi’s tsuntsun and Akashicchi’s flashback(?).. 8/10.
Midorimacchi’s tsuntsun might make me fall for Daisuke Ono.. :D

Guilty Crown.
I should say that the last 10 episodes are much better than the first 12 episodes. Although the story isn’t give much credit (oh my.. I almost lost interest.. u.u), Guilty Crown has a good artwork and a very good music. :)
7/10.

Sword Art Online (1st-12th Episodes)

Since SAO could be considered as a mainstream show, I’m a bit lazy to write the summary. Most people ever heard the main story, or at least its name. Just a little Google and I could paste the summary here. *slapped*

Ok, Ok, let’s get serious.. Rest assured, I never paste my summaries from Google.
So, what’s about SAO?

[NO SPOILER ALERT THIS TIME, ASSUMING THAT SAO IS A POPULAR SHOW.. << THEN WHAT IS THAT]

Kuroko no Basuke

I know it is a bit late to watch Kuroko's Basketball (Kurobas) now, and the second season is upcoming too. ^^;
At least lemme share something.

There are some reasons for me to watch it.. 
-- Since I mostly watched harem show filled by cute loli(s) lately, this show will give a refreshment by the sight of many sport guys.. 

-- I miss Izaya Hiroshi Kamiya’s voice, so I’m looking forward to see Seijuro Akashi here.. 

-- ..and the fact that I’ve just known a couple days ago.. Aida Riko is voiced by Saito Chiwa. I like her cool, mysterious tone as Hitagi (Bakemonogatari) and Homura (Madoka Magica), so I was a bit surprised! :D 

Finally I managed to get the series. So far, I’ve watched 5 episodes.. yeah, until the Seirin beat Kaijou in a practice game.. 
The anime is quite enjoyable.. A bit different with some deep stories that I usually like, but I still had a fun time.. ^^

Nendoroid Makise Kurisu

Awalnya saya ragu-ragu untuk membeli nendoroid ini.. atau mungkin lebih tepatnya ragu-ragu untuk menambah koleksi saya.

Kalau yang baca post saya tentang nendo dkk. serta figma dkk., atau kolektor kedua barang tersebut, pasti tahu berapa rupiah yang harus dikeluarkan untuk mengoleksi barang-barang tersebut. Cukup sesak napas tentunya kalau mau menambah koleksi.

Tapi ujung-ujungnya, saya beli juga. Jarang-jarang soalnya bisa nemu nendoroid Kurisu.. ori, dengan harga di bawah 350ribuan.

Kali ini saya beli secara online di Rendoroid (credit for Laksmi whom gave me the link, thank you so much ^^).

Seperti inilah nendoroid Kurisu saat dipreteli:

Robotic Notes (10th-14th Episodes)

Finally.. I continued this series.. :D

[WARNING: BROKEN ENGLISH, AND THIS MAY CONTAINS SPOILERS]

Puchimas! (Up to 23rd Episode)

More and more Puchi(s) came to 765 Production. >.<
After Yukipo, Afu, and Chihya... then come Harukasan, Yayo, and Chicchan.

As winter came, the puchi(s) has their own unique winter coats.. such as Yukipo's tail, Yayo's very-very long hair, and here is Chihya:

She is just too cuteeeee..

Unrequited Collections: Figurine and Similar Collections

Inilah kelanjutan dari post sebelumnya, Collections: Chibi Figurine and Other Chibi Form Collections.. Kali ini membahas yang non-chibi.. tentu saja kalau di sini yang dibahas adalah yang proporsinya mendekati proporsi normal (tanpa proporsi kepala yang lebih besar).. tapi.. kenapa ada kata ‘unrequited’?

Karena saya gak bakal ngoleksi kategori ini.
Mari kita bahas satu-satu, termasuk kenapa kayaknya saya gak bakal beli.. :’) 

Collections: Chibi Figurine and Other Chibi Form Collections

Kali ini saya post di sini dalam Bahasa Indonesia saja ah..

Btw, dari judulnya mungkin sudah bisa ditebak apa kira-kiranya isi post ini. ^^ 

Chibi figurine.. yup, yang saya maksud di sini adalah nendoroid dan kawan-kawan chibi lainnya. Yang dimaksud dengan chibi di sini tentu saja bukan Cherrybelle ya.. tapi proporsi kepala yang lebih besar dibanding badan.

Saya sendiri masih nubitol dalam bidang ini, hehe.. karena awalnya saya tidak terlalu tertarik. Tapi setelah ‘diracuni’ oleh kenalan saya yang penggemar nendoroid, jadilah saya penasaran dengan figurine world --yang setelah saya tahu-- ternyata ruarrr biasa moe. Cute.

Oke kita mulai aja bahas satu per satu. ^^

Boku Ha Tomodachi Ga Sukunai Next (1st-3rd Episodes)

Boku Ha Tomodachi ga Sukunai (Haganai) NEXT is the second season of Haganai, which was airing in Fall 2011. The story is about Hasegawa Kodaka, a transferred student who had a hard time to make friends due to his delinquent looks. One day, he saw one of his classmates, the socially-awkward-girl Mikazuki Yozora talked to her imaginary friend. Later then, Kodaka and Yozora's conversation led to the formation of Neighbours' Club.

Initially, there were only Kodaka and Yozora in the club, but then the club got others members. We met the perfect-princess-arrogant-tsundere-type Kashiwazaki Sena, the there-is-no-way-such-a-cute-kid-is-a-girl Kusonuki Yukimura, the perverted-genius-girl Shiguma Rika, and the ten-years-old-teacher Takayama Maria. Kodaka's little sister, Hasegawa Kobato (a brocon, chuniibyou who thinks herself as a vampire) later join the club, too.

The second season took setting after the summer vacation was ended, so basically it was a continuation setting from the previous series. I'm too lazy too write the summary.. so I'll just post a series of my tweets yesterday night. *slapped*

Guilty Crown (9th-12th Episodes)

Yahiro --the person who previously betrayed Shu-- ran away from the ‘Norma-Gene’ because they planned to put down Jun (his brother, who was infected by Apocalypse). The reason why he betrayed Shu was also because of Jun, the ‘Norma Gene’ offered to transfer Jun to a facility for Apocalypse treatment. Shu encountered Yahiro and then decided to help Jun, said that he couldn’t forgive Yahiro but Jun had nothing to do with them. However, Shu’s movements were monitored by Saigo (actually I'm not sure if his name is really Saigo or not, how irresponsible of me (--“)). Saigo set the trap to catch them. Shu then extracted Yahiro’s void to fight the enemies, but Jun was fused with an Endlave (some robot unit piloted by human, in this case by GHQ armies). The fused Jun asked Shu to kill him; otherwise he would kill Yahiro so he wouldn’t be a burden to Yahiro anymore. Shu couldn’t decide between the two options. In the end, Shu killed Jun when Jun was trying to kill Yahiro.

Puchimas!

Puchimas! is a spin-off of Idolm@ster series that introduced the puchi version of the idols. At first, when I learned that the shows will be going for 64 episodes, I was thinking.. ‘that many episodes?’ As I stated in the first post, 40 episodes are too many for me, then how about these 64..?

Anyway, when I tried to watch it.. it only ~3 minutes per episode, and the story is very very light, so it won’t be a problem. And the puchi(s) are so cute, especially Chihya.. I was waiting for her appearance, and finally she appeared in the 7^th episode! >w<

Ikoku Meiro no Croisee Finished

Lately I seldom watch anime and I’ve no story to post here.. ^^;

I just lost interest in Guilty Crown and SAO (but I’ll finish them later), I haven’t got the 3 last episodes of Hayate, and my brain refused to watch serious show for a while (such as R;N).

Yesterday, I was searching for some refreshing show, and I decided to watched Ikoku Meiro no Croisee. The story took place at 19^th century, about Yune, a Japanese girl who came to Paris to work as a helper in a blacksmith shop. At first, Claude --the shop owner-- was reluctant to accept Yune, since the shop is nearly out of customer (so he thought he wouldn’t need a helper and he couldn’t pay her either). A lot of shops around there were closed because of the influence of a wealthy family whom own the land there.

As the story goes, Claude and Yune were learned about each other cultures. But, Alice --the lady from that wealthy family--was interested in Japanese culture so she tried to persuade Yune to leave from the blacksmith and move to her house. Later, it was also revealed that Alice’ sister was Claude’s past lover.. but their relationship was ended due to the difference of their status.

I must say that the show is pretty enjoyable, especially if you tired of some harem shows or mainstream plots.. 8/10.

Chaos;Head Finished

Actually, I didn't plan to watch Chaos;Head anime. Some reviews say that the anime is a bad adaption of the VN version. So, I searched the VN instead. Got the VN. Installed it, carefully as instructed. The game was installed. It ran.

Only that the language is still Japanese.

Wonder why... the English patch was included but I guess it wasn't successfully installed.
So... because I'm kinda curious about the story... in the end I watched the anime version.

Hm, how should I put it... it not as bad as the review said, but still... it's disappointing. Chaos;Head gives us a promising storyline in several first episodes, but then it falls apart. The rest episodes runs all over the place and it fails to deliver the promised thriller.

I think I'll try to play the VN version... some other time.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Finished

Episode 3. Sayaka had a dear friend named Kamijou. Kamijou was a great violin player, but after he was involved in an accident, her fingers were injured and he couldn’t play violin anymore. Sayaka thought about Kamijou condition for her wish, but Mami told her to re-think about her real intention, was it to ‘save Kamijou’ or to ‘have Kamijou saved by her’. After that, Madoka and Sayaka encountered a Grief Seed that almost born as a new witch. Madoka then called Mami while Sayaka & Kyuubey were waiting there to watch over the Seed. Madoka and Mami came, followed by Homura. Homura claimed the witch as her prey, and told Mami that she would go by herself. Mami worried about what Homura might do to Sayaka and Kyuubey, so she restrained Homura by her magic. Before Mami and Madoka went, Homura warned Mami that the witch was different from the other witches that Mami ever fought. Madoka then told Mami that she hadn’t figured her wish, but she would become magical girl to help Mami.

[SPOILER ALERT]

Mami was so happy to hear Madoka’s words, and she fought happily after that. However, when she thought that her final attack killed the witch, its real form was released and attacked back at her. Mami was eaten by the witch. Shocked, Kyuubey asked Sayaka and Madoka to form magic contract. Before they answered, Homura came (the magic seal was released when Mami died) and defeated the witch. Homura then told them that magical girls are fighting and risk their life.

Episode 4. Still grieved by Mami’s death, Sayaka and Madoka re-think their decision. Madoka went to Mami’s place, and found out that Mami had no relatives. Then, Madoka met Homura around there. Homura said that the body of the person who died in the magical world wouldn’t return to the real world, so the person will be considered ‘missing’. After that, Madoka met her friend Hitomi, and found that Hitomi had a witch’s mark. Hitomi and other people were gathering to do a mass suicide. Madoka stopped them, but she was trapped in a magical world. When Madoka thought that she would die, magical girl Sayaka came and saved her. Sayaka finally formed a contract with Kyuubey after Kamijou told her; the only thing that could heal his fingers is a miracle. Meanwhile, another magical girl named Kyoko came to the town.

And if I have to describe the rest of the episodes... Madoka Magica is a great story... twist and unexpected turns, you'll see all of that. This show is a dark side of magical girl... the secret that lies behind them, the fate that awaits them... is despair. 9/10.
