Haruhi Vol. 4 Limited Edition

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu Vol.4 Limited Edition (the manga) will come bundled with a 11cm-tall Haruhi figure. Due for June 2007 release. Preorder deadline is 28th Feb, so plenty of time left to talk to a Kinokuniya branch near you. Or wait for Amazon to put up their listing if you are one of those people who don’t get to pay for overpriced stuff at Kinokuniya. It costs ï¿¥1,785, or just about three times the price of the regular edition. But it’s worth it, right?

Mai-Otome Zwei press release http://2pwn.tk/websites/www.darkmirage.com/2006/09/26/mai-otome-zwei-press-release/ http://2pwn.tk/websites/www.darkmirage.com/2006/09/26/mai-otome-zwei-press-release/#comments Tue, 26 Sep 2006 13:57:01 +0000 http://2pwn.tk/websites/www.darkmirage.com/2006/09/26/mai-otome-zwei-press-release/ Continue reading ]]> The upcoming OVA series Mai-Otome Zwei will be here 24th November. The limited edition Vol.1 will come with a special packaging, a CD with the theme song and a Mai-Otome illustration book. Most of the press release is recycled news, but it does reveal the title of the new theme song.

Mai-Otome Zwei

The story takes place one year after the end of the TV series and Arika is now Mashiro’s full-fledged Meister Otome. The new OP song is “Believe ~eien no kizuna~” performed by Mika Kikuchi (Arika Yumemiya).

All I can say is: WTF happened to Minami!?

P.S. You can preorder the limited edition on Amazon JP for ï¿¥2,000 cheaper than the official retail.

Mahou Sensei Negima!

Vol.15 was ready for collection.

Box - Front

The limited edition is waaaay overpriced but I bought it anyway because I am a tool of the system. It comes with a DVD that contains promotional material for the new Negima! OVA.

Box - BackBook - FrontBook - BackSpecial DVD

After watching the DVD, I am happy to say that the new Negima! OVA is better than I expected. The character designs are surprisingly close to the original and the animation quality and detail are a few hundred times better than the horror that was the TV series. A few hundred being a modest estimate. The entire cast is retained as far as I can tell. The OVA also seems to contain a little more fanservice… Well, still far less than the manga.

One complaint: The OP “Yume Minna de” is not as catchy as “Happy Material”.

CD Japan orders

Gedo Senki Insert - Teruu no UtaDa Capo 2 Vocal AlbumThe Adventure Over Yui HorieSuzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu DVD Vol.1

Total cost: 18,062 yen

The sad thing is, the two DVDs are not mine. _|ï¿£|O I don’t have enough money to collect R2 DVDs…

Gedo Senki has been receiving bad reviews from Japanese fans who have seen it in theatres, but the insert song is so good that I bought the single anyway. Just listen to it:

[audio:teruu_no_uta.mp3]

This version comes from the movie OST. The version in the single is 4:49 long and has some bgm.
