Figure, Unity Marriage, Unity Mei

The Unity May Figure by Good Smile Company.
Unity Mei is a character from the Eroge game Unity Marriage. I got this figure after I saw a few reviews online of it. I really don’t collect figures, this and my Revoltech Yoko, are the only real female figures I have, but I really had to get this one. The color scheme is well done especially with the flowers thrown Unity’s awesome capes.
This figure is my first static figure in a very long time, so I took a few pictures of Mei with a background I thought would fit her design and not necessarily her color scheme.
Anyhow, I really like the figure and it’s become a permanent fixture on my desktop along with my new macbook pro, which I took pictures of Unity with. Seems like the popular thing to do is to take pictures of your figures with the Mac OS X desktop in the background which I do with this figure as well.
As with Moonlight Candle, the figure has me interested in the Unity Marriage game which looks pretty cool judging by the art and graphics on the website.

Anime, Hayate no Gotoku, Season 2
In Anime, Hayate no Gotoku on April 8, 2009 at 12:40 am
Hina and the student council from the ending song of Hayate no Gotoku's Season 2 first episode.
My favorite comedy anime is back! It’s been a long wait since the end of the 52 episode Hayate no Gotoku Season 1. And what better way to reward me for my wait then an ending song featuring my favorite character from the series, Hinagiku Katsura and the student council backing her up.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the animation is a tad bit different than the fist season and that’s because J.C. Staff is taking over after they did the brief OVA a few weeks back. I would describe the animation as being a bit more simple looking than SynergySP which isn’t a bad thing.
The official Japanese Hayate no Gotoku Homepage, that they just recently redid, chock full of info and merchandise.
When we left Hayate, a combat butler that can beat the hell out of any-type of Mechas that get in his way, he still owed a huge amount of money because of his good for nothing parents and working for the tsundere-otaku-rich girl Nagi Sanzen’in, and getting into some crazy situations with Nagi and her friends at school.
After the opening song of the new episode we’re treated to a brief overview of last season and get into the episode where a race is coming up for the school, and Hayate sees his chance to get Nagi outdoors.

Bring Stability, Garazzo, Robot Damashii
In Gundam 00, Innovator on April 3, 2009 at 2:35 am
The GNZ-005 Garazzo with GN Blades activated.
After getting the HG Gadessa, I was about ready to get the HG Garazzo. Just before I was going to get it however, I noticed one important thing that was left out.
The GN blades were not separated on the HG model. Instead they were stuck together. Fortunately Bandai released the Garazzo in it’s Robot Damashii figure line which had the separated and finger-like blades.
Garazzo blasting off with GN Beam Claws enabled.

How does a Robot Damashii hold up against an HG model? Pretty damn good.

Yoko from the anime Gurren Lagann. Found this piece of art from the web, but I don’t know where it’s from. It’s a sweet pic anyways!
The last time that I bought a figure was back in 2007 with the Haruhi Suzumiya figure at the Mid-Atlantic Anime Convention. I was a fan of the series and still am but I’m really not much of a figure person, that is until recently…. I decided to get the Yoko Revoltech figure after finally getting around to watching Gurren Lagann. After watching the series, I have become a fan, especially of Yoko’s.
Revoltech Yoko with postcards from the Yoko Portraits magazine.
Other than the Revoltech figure I also got the Gurren Lagann Yoko Portraits magazine, which has some really nice art of Yoko and production notes and art pieces. The magazine also includes some polaroids of some of the art inside of the magazine. Also, I briefly touch on the series, Gurren Lagann and wonder to myself why I didn’t get into this series earlier!

Gadessa, Gundam, Gundam 00, HG, Hilling Care
In Gadessa, Gundam, Gundam 00, HG, Hilling Care, Innovator on February 12, 2009 at 2:24 am
Gadessa attacking with wrist Vulcan Cannon.
Unlike Gundam Seed, Gundam OO ’s sequel is better than its predecessor. For me Gundam Seed should have ended after the first series. With Gundam OO, the story is expanded upon and has more compelling plots and characters.
I really like the political story as it relates to what’s going on currently in the world. One aspect that I really enjoyed this time around were the mobile suits, especially the ones the bad guys piloted. After i saw episode 13, I decided to modify an HG Gadessa to the Innovator Hilling Care’s colors.

In Anime, Kemeko DX, The Girl Who Leapt Through Space on February 11, 2009 at 2:01 am
M.M. wakes up looking for her lost mecha, Kemeko.
Kemeko DX was a show that I’ve been wanting to check out after I went to a few anime forums and heard some pretty good things about it. Urusei Yatsura, is one of my favorite anime, and cartoon of all time and this show reminds me a bit about it.

I also take a look at “The Girl Who Leapt Through Space” show, which is something decided to watch since I was a bit curious after I bought my Megami which dedicated it’s cover and poster to it.
