Mappy

Hi all, I found out more about Aa! Megamisama and it's starting next month: http://www.tbs.co.jp/megamisama/ although it's on a Thursday at an ungodly hour in the first instance (repeated on Sunday) and I have work I just know I'm going to have to get up to see this!

Fraid I don't know any sites but the building next to Akihabara station where K-Books is has a shop on the second floor that sells BB guns and Idol cards. If you ask someone over here nicely then they might get something for you. mata na, mappy

I'll be going NYO NYO NYO all over NHK when that happens

Got him. At long last, I've got him... Had it not been for "Moe" and her friends at the Pina Fore Cafe http://pinafore.jp/ You may have converted me. It was a close shave for the head of the CGC. Once you get mecha in your soul, its far, far too late, Mappy... (for observers - Mappy and me have different tastes in anime; hes for cat-girls and other devestating amounts of cute, whereas I'm for Peace and Justice as expressed by giant robots... ) There's an exception to every rule, my son, you're now talking to him. Yes, I am very much on the darkside as my Hello Kitty collection shall become legendary in Japan when the TV crew gets to my new apartment (just moved in.) Jcat (the one married to the beautiful cosplay the B'RD) always seems to call F Zero One "Justice san" as he misunderstood Justin. It's an unfortunate mistake which for some reason he's not correcting. mata nya, mappy

Had I not liked Belldandy so much I would be with you on this.

Thats for the life-size Belldandy doll, isn't it, Mappy? Nobody told me about a life size Belldandy, I am hoping for a dakimakura tho... . . . >_> . . . . . . >_> . . .

I heard it as a rumour earlier this year but yes, there does seem to be something in the pipework and I'm well happy the original cast is in it People at Gamers said that merchandise for the new series will start being released sometime this month or next so there goes the next months wages.

One of my favourate series that I am pleased to have learned is being continued. Anyone know where I can find information on release dates and stuff?

Don't forget, it gives us something to moan about. Being a grumpy old fart is in our genes. After hearing that the Bandai museum has a massive robot in it, I'm very tempted to go overdrawn just to see it!

Woohoo, we had a nice big one last Friday/Saturday and it was well fun Now I need an earthquake and I've got the set

Want help keeping awake? Well, Tokyo is hit by devestating natural disasters or fires so often (on a geological timescale) that the residents used to call them "flowers of Edo". The Great Kanto Earthquake in the 1920s pretty much flattened the entire city. They get one like every 80 years or so. Yes, that means they're rather overdue... One geologist has called Tokyo "the city waiting to die"...! And thats of course forgetting the rogue ESP experiments, cross-dimensional tears in space/time, military prototypes going berserk, cat-girl invasions, mecha invasions, demon beast invasions, and, of course, the English... I was wondering when you'd turn up with your ever so bright outlook on life If I'm going to die then I'd rather die here than in Reading though I would like to see high winds the challenge that of what we get in England as that would be impressive though sadly, the next typhoon that's coming will (once again) be passing over Tokyo during the evening so I get a lot of rain and mopeyness but not desaster. IT'S JUST NOT ENGLISH! And there's no use looking at the news as Japan has a serious shortage of crime and there's very little to report on. Though it is a refreashing change to walk through the back streets of a city and not get mugged like in Reading >_>

but this has nothing to do with that. I'm annoyed. I just learned that to date I've slept through 2 earthquakes and 1 typhoon! I'm English, I want my doom and gloom

Just wondering who's currently in Japan and who's coming?

I wish I had the money to get one. I've been brain washed by the adverts every other commercial break into wanting one.
