The Story of Saiunkoku v1

Posted on September 11, 2007 by super rats

During one of Geneon’s panels at Otakon ‘07, I caught the trailer for The Story of Saiunkoku (Saiunkoku Monogatari). One of the producers mentioned how addictive the show was and from the trailer it looked amusing, but something I might Netflix instead of buy what with the show apparently taking place on Planet Bishie. Then they whipped out the collector’s box and I wanted it.

The other thing that made me hop on board was the non-school setting. It’s always a nice plus when the story doesn’t take place in school, which as a side note is probably why I’m passing on School Rumble. There’s enough high school on my watch list right now.

Manservice in a Van

Posted on January 19, 2007 by super rats

My sister, who also collects figures, complains about the lack of testosterone in the lineups of the better figure companies. Sure there are a ton of action figures, but action figures are ugly. A while ago, it looked like MaxFactory would answer her call with the “Spirit of Guys” line, but after several months the line consists of only one figure, a highly stylized Van from GunxSword.
