The Result of my Burning Passion - Figure and Merchandise Spending 2006

With 2006 nearly over, I thought that I should look back to the various things in my life and one of them is my spending habits. Now I am an avid spender on both figures and merchandise and little do I realise how much I actually spend……..until now. Compiling a spreadsheet of both orders from HLJ and Amazon Japan I bring to you the result of my BURNING PASSION for 2006!

The Best and Worst Anime Awards for 2006

Well with the end of the year approaching and with the Fall Season over, it’s time to give my view on the notable series of 2006. Series that made you cry “MOÉ”, series that made you bash your head against the desk, series that made you want more, and series that make you cringe it deemed to be a rather difficult tasks to select which were my personal favourites. But I suppose also it was rather hard to remember what was shown over the year (I usually have a motto of watch and forget). But sitting back and thinking about it I have finally come to my decisions.

Kanon - 12 (this week is an Ayu plushy)

Ayu is sitting on a bench talking about being inside the dream again. She can hear many things far and close as she sees adults walk by without noticing her sitting there. We start off by seeing a scene of the past where Ayu is with Yuuichi at a UFO catcher. Ayu sees an angel doll and Yuuichi tries to get it for her, but he failed even though he promised. Returning to the present, Yuuichi wakes up in the middle of the night. Walking out of his room, he finds Ayu in the hallway, surprised to see him. Yuuichi teases her about ghosts but then goes to accuse her for looking for valuable items, but it ends up that she wanted to go to the toilet. Walking down the stairs, with Ayu holding onto Yuuichi’s shirt, she explains that she didn’t want to wake Nayuki up, but Yuuichi assures her that her ability to sleep is not normal. Later on the pair are standing outside on the veranda watching the stars. Yuuichi reveals that he is not good with heights and Ayu reveals that she isn’t either, but the veranda is fine. Ayu then comments on how Nayuki is a beautiful and kind person, and wishes to be like her. Though she is shocked to find out that Nayuki is the same age, but Yuuichi tells her that she has her own good merits.

The next morning, Nayuki is sitting at the table with her Keropi plushy half asleep. Yuuichi shows that this is how Nayuki is and tries to wake her up but accidentally ends up smacking her head on the table. After Nayuki leaves for school first, Yuuichi tells Ayu to hurry up as well, but Ayu tells him that her school allows her to skip school, attend school and leave whenever she wants to. Yuuichi doubts this and tells her not to be late.

Yoake Mae Yori Ruri-iro Na ~Crescent Love~ - 12 (END)

Everyone from Earth and the Moon are watching the news about the battle which is about to start whilst Feena and Tatsuya enter the throne room. Hand in hand, Feena and Tatsuya walk up to Lyones and she says she has something to talk about. Lyones realises that Tatsuya is the person that Karen had told him about earlier. Tatsuya introduces himself and Feena announces that he is her partner. This surprises the other royals, but Takano at this point gets his assistant to have this broadcasted on all stations. Listening to what the pair has to say, Lyones questions if they know what the result could be, with Feena answering a war could break out.

After Lyones speech on what could happen, Tatsuya tells him that they met a girl on Earth who thought the same as Lyones. Though the pair believes that they won’t forget about the past and they want to strive for a peaceful future.

IKEA, Spectators of Figure Photography, and Feena GET!

With only a few days left to Christmas, on Wednesday I decided to finish off my Christmas shopping. Being payday that day I was set, and thankfully it wasn’t a boiling hot day. Whilst shopping around for the last few presents and seeing that I had plenty of money left over, I thought it would be good if I bought some lighting equipment for some indoor figure photography. So there was only one place to go for some cheap equipment. IKEA.

Now it has been a long time since I went to IKEA. But after strolling through the majority of the store, I remember why I love the place so much. There is so much awesome stuff there to buy from furniture to home decor. To stuff that I need to stuff that I don’t need but would buy anyway just for the heck of it. Honestly when I move out, I’m heading to IKEA for everything. But of course I didn’t leave empty handed. having done the entire walk-thru exhibition I finally reached the lighting section. Basing on super rats tutorial over at HappySoda, I found close to what I needed.

Figure Review: Mizunashi Akari (Solid Works ver.)

As many of you know, I am an avid ARIA fan. Having saw a 1/6 scale version of Akari many months ago I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one. So far from what I’ve seen of Solid Works releases, e.g Tendokyu Shana and the Kagihime pair, I have been quite pleased. But how does Solid Works far with Mizunashi Akari from ARIA? Read on to see!
