Really nicely detailed figure fully painted. Only a few parts to assemble to make an excellent edition to the set. No regrets getting this. Looks good with any combination of costume.

It is a mediocre effort by one my favorite groups. Some the retread songs really could have been done a lot better with better vocals. Otherwise a passable add to your collection.

This quite one of the best figs that I have ever purchased. The detail is exquisite and near perfect. It catches the image of the Anime character perfectly with very good face detailing, The clothing design for the stage is very accurate and masterfully planned. Perfect.

ChainBONNIE PINKBonnie Pink's latest Christmas Album
Very interesting and effective effort by Bonnie Pink to bring her Interpolation of various Christmas standbys and new items using very good interpretive jazz. The jazz guitarist is very effective. A little work though is needed on pronunciation of certain word, but otherwise very enjoyable.

Okami to Koshinryo (Wolf and Spice) [Calendar 2009 (Try-X Ltd.)]AnimationWolf and Spice 2009 calendar
Very nicely composed calendar with 6 bimonthly posters and a nice cover. There is a at least one illustration that I would call mildly provocative and would hesitate to post in work or school setting. Otherwise it holds to the charm of the TV anime.

[Desktop] Soul Eater [Calendar 2009 (Try-X Ltd.)]AnimationDesktop calendar for Soul Eater
Very nice compact desk calendar of the Soul Eater TV anime. Consists of 12 months with cards approx 3X6. The left third has the days of the month and the remaining right side has a illustration of the series characters in action or theme poses. A cardboard stand back is included with clear plastic case. No instructions were included so unless you have assembled these before it can take a while to puzzle out.

One Piece [Shueisha 2009 Calender]Calendar2009 One Piece Caledar Spiral Bound
Nice large poster sized illustrations of the One Piece gang. Wish there was more on Nami and Robin but does include a lot of characters from the TV Anime. I really like the spiral binding as have real issues hanging the other metal strap binding which requires cutting the poster away to reveal the next illustration on a wall mounting. Really good collectible for the fan to have.

GUILTY [CD+DVD / Jacket A]Ayumi HamasakiGulty CD and DVD
Good compilation of new Hamasaki tunes and the DVD of music videos is a really nice extra. The cover art is OK while good, not as good as past efforts.

Kagaribi [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]KAORIKaori CD and DVD combo
Very good vocals and instrumental accompianate. DVD of cover song was very good, but a little dissapointed that the "B" side did not have some sort of DVD entry with it.

Full Metal Panic! Special Set Stick Poster w/ Special BinderCollectibleFull Metal Panic Poster Set
A really nice with binder to hold the illustrations. It would have been a 5 but I did not think a few of the prints fit the mood of the series. All the rest were very nice and fit the milleau from the swim wear to the racing mascot costume.

Two really good Puffy tunes. Really like the OST to Edo Rocket. The second tune was a really pleasant suprise. Please send I-tunes the album cover.

TsukiakariRie fuTsukiakan twin single
Fantastic album with the ED for Darker than Black in Japanese and in very clear English a really nice heart felt ballad. The work she did with the Clash really shows a lot of positive development in her career.

A Happy Life / Lucky&HappyMegumi HayashibaraMegumi's latest single A Happy Life
A clean happy crisp recording with Megumi singing the kind of songs she does best. A must have for both Megumi fans and Manabi Straight fans.

Fantastic ChristmasV.A.fantastic christmas 2 cd set
Several very good renditions of classic and original Christmas songs. Unfortunately, some mediocre performances that seem contractual obligation in quality are there also. Worth getting just for the varied amount of offerings and top quality artists.

1/8 Scale PVC Figure - Makai Senki Disgaea2: EtonaCollectibleMakai Senki Version2
Very cute rendering of Makai, this time in shorts and even more lively. Great companion to the Fona piece.

1/8 Scale PVC Figure - Makai Senki Disgaea2: FronCollectibleFron of Disgea2
Poor Fron is so confused, she has mixed emotions about everything and so pleasently pleased about it. The costume she is wearing is very creative and (naughty and nice at the same time). It shows the whole tenor of her character in the second release of the game.

Fullmoon wo Sagashite (Mangetsu wo sagashite) Original SoundtrackTV SoundtrackFullmoon wo Sagashite
Good soundtrack album for Fullmoon fans. Has all of the incedental music and the two main vocals. Wished it had more of the vocal arrangements and better karoke arrangements.
