Loot posts have now officially become the obligatory “I’m not dead yet!” posts! The days become busier and busier as I approach the second semester of my final year in University. But enough about that, let’s get on to the merchandise!
Everything after the jump!

You might have noticed that I have not been buying as many Completed PVC figures as I have been in the past. I myself have recently caught wind of this trend and have been wondering why. After some thought, I narrowed it down to a few reasons. In doing so, I managed to create a system explaining how I collect and decide which figure representation of a character I should buy.

I suppose you guys are tired of girls constantly dominating my reviews, so, I’ve decided that it’s time to get MANLY. And what better way to do so than to delve into one of the most manly, super-popular shonen Action/Adventure manga epics, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
Today, we’ll be taking a look at the main hero and titular character of Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, Jotaro Kujo as he is represented in Medicos’ Super Action Statue line.

The first of possibly a number of videos, chronicling my experince in the land of Anime to Figures and beyond. (^.^)
What better way to start than to show you guys a snippet of my time in Akihabara – The fabled land of Otaku… (Day 1 and 2 of my trip)
This video focuses more on the stores of Akihabara and proves that Akihabara really is, Otaku heaven. I mean… WOAH. And that was just one store.
While the video only shows the inside of Radio Kaikan, more details of the places and the various stores I visited, like Gamers, Toranoana, Animate and more, along with accompanying pictures, can be seen by clicking the ‘Actar in Japan’ tab. (^.^)

Just returned from seeing the much anticipated Live Action adaptation of Blood: The Last Vampire. Let me preface this by saying that I have seen a number of episodes of the Blood + Anime and the Original Animated Movie, Blood: The Last Vampire, which this movie is based upon. Was it any good? Well, let me give you a hint: NO.
Be warned, there will be spoilers ahead.
