Chikane & Himeko, sold out

Wasabi Toys finally sold their Chikane and Himeko figures at a recent sale. From 3300 pesos each down to 1300-something. Totally missed it.

At least I managed t buy the Sega Prize figures of Yoko and Nia from Gurren Lagann at Jebb's.

Cheeky Angel

Gotta love the Miki/Megumi relationship.

You're Under Arrest (Tagalog dub)

Natsumi and Miyuki are played by Pinky Rebucas and Kathyin "Teng" Masilungan. They were also Ursula (Utena) and Angie (Anthy) in Ursula's Kiss (Enoki Films USA's alternate title for Revolutionary Girl Utena). Wonder if it's just a coincidence. Not like they'd deliberately play up the yuri subtext.

D.C. ~Da Capo~

Miharu seems a little too attached to Nemu. Then there's the girl who wanted to date Mako.

R.O.D the TV

Since Animax-Asia started re-running the Geneon dub on weekdays last week (the back to back Sunday episodes weren't convenient for me), and I spotted DVD volumes 2 and 5 cheap (500 pesos each, still sealed) in one of the toy shops in Shoppesville, I decided to bite the bullet and won an eBay auction for the limited edition of volume 7 (less than $35 total, still sealed). Just need to find the best deal for the rest of the series.

Of course now I'm probably tempting fate, and suddenly a cheap thinpak re-release will be announced.

Maria Watches Over Us

Animax-Asia just finished re-running season 2 (11pm, Sunday), but will be showing season 1 (and 2) again at 10pm, weekdays, starting May 20 (replacing Jigoku Shoujo S2). Next Sunday will have Paradise Kiss at 11pm, and not Marimite S3 OVA like I expected. Need to watch the S3 DVDs.

My Code Name is Charmer

This is one of Narumi Kakinouchi's lesser-known works. Got both English-translated volumes cheap a few weeks ago.

Volume 2 has the heroine Naomi going all akogare over Kaede ("Even though I'm a girl, I think she's hot!"). Yuriest bit is the school nurse heavily implied to (exclusively?) prefer girls.
