The Haruhiism Time Capsule Project – Part I

Posted on October 11, 2006 by DarkMirage

You may or may not have heard of Yahoo’s project to beam a digital time capsule into space. On the capsule’s official website, Yahoo is collecting pictures, sounds, words, videos and drawings that showcase our world in one of the ten categories that they have chosen: Love, Anger, Fun, Sorrow, Faith, Beauty, Past, Now, Hope, You.

Haruhiism

The first thing I thought of as I read about this was Haruhiism. As a faithful follower of Haruhi-sama, I hereby declare that I will make it my personal duty to ensure that the eventual time capsule will contain at least one copy of the Haruhiism logo.

I shall document my project in this entry.

Down with Fat Taiyaki Fangirl!

Posted on October 8, 2006 by DarkMirage

Yes, Kanon’s animation looks like sex, the voice-actings are good, Kyon Yuuichi doesn’t look like a bastard anymore and the OP and ED don’t suck anymore. Yeah, yeah. BUT AYU STILL SUX!!!

FTG
Remember kids: too much taiyaki makes you fat

Today, I coin the acronym FTG, or Fat Yaoi Taiyaki Fangirl! I have already patented this idea and anyone using the term FTG when talking about Kanon owes me $0.10 of royalties!

From this moment on, I shall refer to Ayu only as FTG to show my immense dislike for her and her kind!

Dengeki G’s Festival Vol.6 filled with lunar moé

Posted on October 7, 2006 by DarkMirage

The sixth entry in the Dengeki G’s Festival series will feature Yoake Mae yori Ruri-iro na! I’m sure some of you still remember the Yume pillow cover from two issues ago and the Tsuyokisu clock from Vol.5.

Well, apparently Dengeki G’s Festival Vol.6 will come with…

A FEENA PILLOW COVER!!! o___o

It will be out on 30th Nov and the pillow design has yet to be released. But considering how these magazine bonuses tend to be too lazy to commission new art, I’m betting that the pillow cover will be reusing this picture…

Feena!!!

The price is around ï¿¥2,000. So… who’s getting one? :3

A vote for Haruhi-sama is a vote for world peace!

Posted on October 4, 2006 by DarkMirage

Tomorrow, we reach one of the most crucial moments in the history of mankind. Tomorrow, votes will be cast to determine whether Haruhi-sama or Yuki will proceed to the 4th last round of Saimoé Tournament 2006.

Haruhi-sama

While I have nothing against Yuki and in fact like her as a character, fate is cruel and a choice must be made.

Tokimeki Memorial ～Only Love～ Episode 1

Posted on October 3, 2006 by DarkMirage

I had quite a bit of reservation about this series… It’s bad enough that they made the latest entry in the awesome TokiMemo series of dating sims an online multiplayer game (wtf I know), but now they even made an anime based on the MMO? It just sounded like one huge game advertisement…

Tokimeki Memorial

After watching the first episode, I’m happy to say that Tokimeki Memorial ～Only Love～ is not at all the cheap game advertisement I thought it would be! Recommended viewing for TokiMemo fans! Sayuri ftw!

Summary and screenshots after the jump~

Posted on October 1, 2006 by DarkMirage

I bought the 1/6 Saber Holiday ver. from GSC today. My will is so weak. Gao…

1/6 Saber from GSC

It’s a pretty good deal considering the printed retail price is ï¿¥6,800 and I got it for S$75 (about ï¿¥5,500). Still, can’t say that it didn’t hurt a little…
