Whether or not you believe in Easter, there is never too many of bunny girls or chocolate eggs... so, for the sake of more bunny girls and chocolate eggs; I have decided to have two of my Dollfie Dream cosplay as bunny girls for some sexy bunny girls theme photo, please enjoy~
I have always heard about how Anime Expo is one of the largest anime convention in North America but I have never once thought about going there myself in previous years. However, the convergence of various factors this year including the chance of meeting some of the friends I have made online at figure.fm, a trip to Volks USA and meeting Danny in person were enough to persuade me to make this journey. So, for this past weekend, I have picked my most pampered Dollfie Dream, DD娃娃 Kiriha Kuze 紅瀬桐葉 to accompany me to Anime Expo 2010 in Los Angeles!
Alright, so I finally made it to the new cast on the PS2 port version Estel Freesia. What can I say about her? Estel is quite a tsundere, more than Natsuki (especially after I started her Moonlight Cradle arc) and definitely a tough nut to crack! I am going to try a slightly different approach and compact her story a bit more, Feena's story was way too long and I probably had way too much details in the last writeup.
I originally planned to hold on to this group photo session before the Dollfie Dream Theater storyline has a chance to catch up and introduce the new character as a surprise element, but Volks USA has informed me yesterday that I have just hit the "surprise element" deadline >.>;;; Anyway, the long and short of it is that I have picked up a 2nd Sasara back in Hometown Nagoya 4 After Event party...
I am just going to say it to get it off my chest, Natsuki Takamizawa (鷹見沢 菜月) deserves more attention than she is getting! Ok, while I don't think Natsuki is in the same league as Feena in terms of elegance and beauty, and she may just be a plain Jane next door neighborhood girl; but she is quite cute in her own rights, I don't understand why there hasn't been a single figure made of her yet.
It has been a long wait since I have won the bloodiest auction battle I have ever participated in order to win the right to bring one of the rarest Dollfie Dream Kuze Kiriha 紅瀬桐葉 home, released at Kyoto 5 of 2008, but her appearances in Yahoo Japan Auction is considerably more rare than Dollfie Dream before her such as Feena Fam Earthlight and Estel Freesia, Dollfie Dream that released along with her, such as Erika Sendo; and Dollfie Dream that released after her, such as Saber, Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami.

How I managed to tour Japan in 3 Days and 4 Nights while hitting all the hot spots like Odaiba Gundam, Evangelion 2.0 You can (not) advance, Kamen Rider Decade Movie - All Riders vs. Dai Shocker with shopping in Akihabara! My assistant Pretty Fräulein Asuka-chan will guide you through all that.
It's been another intense camera action day as I have a lot on my agenda. The first order of business is to have two of my lovely daughters to try out the two of the most adorable maid dress set from Kyoto 7, Sasara School Swimsuit Maid and He is My Master Maid Dress set. There is no argument for who should wear the School Swimsuit Maid, but there was room for debate for the He is My Master Dress set, I finally decided to have Kiriha model for us, why Kiriha? Because she is my most pampered daughter! There will be some hints of yuri action here and there in this photo session, as I finally come to term to fulfill the promise I made way back to take some yuri photos for my daughters XD. Please enjoy~
A few days ago, I welcomed my Sixteenth Dollfie Dream Daughter DD娃娃 人偶 Matou Sakura to my family; and I had Saber, Rin and Ecchi Lion came out to gave Sakura a warm welcome; but that was not all that I had in mind! The number sixteenth daughter also mark the completion of a Platoon!! Since such a significant milestone cannot be ignored or overlooked.... so I have decided to summon all of my daughters together for a full family portrait (it's been a while since I did the last family photo)! This special event is also know as Dollfie Dream Daughters Grand Glorious Gathering, DDDGGG for short!
It's been almost two weeks since I started this Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel marathon run project which includes the original Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel (2005) August soft, Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Brighter than dawning blue- (2009) Aria soft and Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Moonlight Cradle- (2009) August soft, it's a massive undertaking that I have never attempted before. But after over a week worth of effort, I am finally getting close to the midway point. This project really started when I redecorated my room with three Feena fam Earthlight Dakimakuras and one bath towel, then all of a sudden I wondered about how much do I really know about her.
It's been a few days since Airi arrived at my residence, and I have to admit that I have grown to like her more and more as each day gone by. So it's natural that I put together a photo shoot for her with a proper background~ I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do :)
Been quiet for the past couple of days, but I finally started to feel better for the past day so I decided to catch this chance to go out with my Dollfie Daughters again. The main objective this time was to correct a few oversights I had in the last outing so I had to take DD Asuka アスカ and DD Rin 遠坂 凛 out again, but that would be a tad too dry just to keep taking photos of those two so I decided to take DD Saber out with me as well.
A few weeks ago I announced that I will be holding an Adopt a Sasara Contest and I have spent the last couple of weeks trying decide on a contest format that is fair and have the ability to incorporate my own opinion as well as public opinion and finally, to test the contestants' knowledge about Sasara! I have actually decided on the contest format some time ago but since we are drawing close to December, I think it's best to get the contest started, the intent is of course to have Sasara arrive at her new home before Christmas.
How long has it been since I acquired the cloak for Saber? Hmm ever since Airi arrived? Yeah, I been wanting to do a Saber solo shoot out for that long, but laziness and procrastination delayed it for this long! Errr, not really, I was busy with other stuff and had the lighting setup packed away and didn't pull them back out until just recently. Anyway, I been wanting to do this shoot out with Saber standing in front of the Buckingham Palace and I have finally done it! I think I managed to pack a few pretty good shots in there, hopefully you would enjoy them as much as I did :D
Ever since the announcement of Dollfie Dream Sasara 久寿川 ささら by Volks a few days ago, I have assigned utmost priority to learn about Sasara's story. It's funny that I have been putting it off for more than a year, and I know I have been wanting to do it but the announcement of DD Sasara gave me the final nudge in the back I needed to start another visual novel marathon. I suppose this is my first Leaf game as well.
For the past month or so, I have been secretly working a large scale Dollfie Dream photo shoot to celebrate the arrival of my fifteenth Dollfie Dream daughter Erika and fourteenth daughter Estel (since Estel never did get a proper photo shoot of her own, partly because I knew I had Erika on the way
First there was Getchu.com blocking non-Japan IP addresses, then Alicesoft.com.. it seems I have brought very little good eroge gaming news today… but fear not my comrade, I have got good news this time! Popular 3D Eroge Game maker Illusion Soft have announced a collaborative 3D Character Collection game with Forgest to bring you the authentic rendition of popular eroge game characters from Alicesoft, BaseSon and Visual Art’s!

I am sure we have all heard of some eroge game companies began blocking access to non-Japanese IP addresses some months ago, but until recently it really hasn’t affected me all that much until yesterday… I found out one of my favorite online shop Getchu.com, they sell Anime DVDs, various Anime related merchandises, Games, Music, Books, Doujin, and the all important Eroges… and I have been using their website for the latest releases in Japan because they have a very comprehensive coverage on just about everything, not just eroges…but all genres. However, my worst fear have happened last night, they have begun blocking Non-Japanese IP. At first I thought their site might have went down…
Edited: Popular game publisher Alicesoft is also blocking non-Japan IP >.<;
Edited again: It appear in less than 24 hours since I wrote up this post, the apparent ban on non-Japan IP has already been lifted… for now.
But then I found their twitter account online…. everything seemed fine… which confirmed my fear…. I pulled myself together and found a Japan Proxy Server to use on top of my Virtual Machine.

A few days ago Volks has finally announced the Dollfie Dream set to debut in Home Town Dolpa Osaka 6, since I am already quite familiar with Mari Illustrious Makinami from the Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0: You can (not) advance after seeing the movie in Japan last year and again in subtitle format; my attention turned to two girls from the eroge game Pure White Symphony ましろ色シンフォニー 「瓜生桜乃」Uryuu Sakuno and 「天羽みう」 Amaha Miu. While I am not overly fond of the face molds of these two DD myself, but I guess I will fancy myself with their story since I picked up some encouraging words from some figure.fm comrades that I will not be disappointed with Amaha Miu’s eroge scene ^^;
Pure White Symphony came with some pretty tough regional protection, conventional method such as AppLocale or AGTH couldn’t bypass it and I to use a new tool call ntleac developed by a gentleman in Taiwan I believe. View Full Article »
One of the other objectives since I was already going to be in Anime Expo 2010 was to attend the JAST USA Bishoujo Game panel hosted by J-List, one of the very few companies brought Japanese goodies to the USA market back in the 90s. Nowadays, while I am already capable to play most of the Japanese Bishoujo games with the tools I have available to me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about the companies that continues to try to localize Bishoujo games for the English speaking world. Since JAST USA announced last year that they are working with Nitro+ to localize Demonbane into English, a game I have yet to play, that really prompted me to make it to their panel to hear what they are working on.
It’s been a while since I last wrote an eroge game post, I guess the time is just about right now since the latest game from Illusion Soft Schoolmate 2 すくぅ～るメイト２ was just released a few days ago! For the past couple of years, I haven’t been exactly happy with most of the Illusion releases, save perhaps @Homemate and Schoolmate Sweet; Real Kanojo was a disappointment as it failed to capture my attention for more than 15 minutes. However, back in April, Illusion soft announced their new latest game Schoolmate 2; the Schoolmate series, one of the few entertaining games coming out of Illusion soft in recent years. I have been playing this game for a few hours now and so far it’s been decent, so let’s take a look at it.
I guess many of us may have started to lose faith in Illusion soft’s ability to produce entertaining games in recent years but they have announced earlier this month that they have been working on Schoolmate 2, and Schoolmate is the last remaining play worthy title in their line up in my opinion. This might look interesting~
I am on the Illusion soft newsletter and I just got this info today, nothing much is available yet except they introduced all the heroines today.
Features that were introduced in Real Kanojo like 2 mouses operation will be ported into the Schoolmate 2, why do you need 2 mouses? Well you sort of always do uses 2 hands right?
I seldom talks about upcoming Anime in advance, but thanks to figure.fm member Emiri that I found out Fortune Arterial has gotten the green light to be adopted into Anime. As a fan of Fortune Arterial, I hope that it won’t suffer the same fate as Brighter than Dawning Blue ~Crescent Love~ and got totally butchered out of the original story. I suppose with a linear path arrangement, they are going to go for Erika’s arc while trying to get as much coverage on the other heroines as possible, but let’s hope for the best.
I will be keeping my eyes open for any development on the Fortune Arterial Anime.

With the last game from Illusion soft Yuusha[You Can't Escape From the Heroine] ended in utter disappointment, so bad that I didn’t bother writing a blog post about it (I gave up within 10 minutes of game play); I was really on the fence on whether I should even try to play their newest game Real Kanojo リアル彼女 which literally means Real Girlfriend. For the last couple of years, Illusion soft has been focusing all of their effort on “sex simulator”, gone are the days of action adventure game such as AGA and *glup* can I say Des Blood 4? Schoolmate Sweet! and @Homemate turned out to be adequately entertaining that I was at least curious about the game, boasting as their latest innovation in 3D technology and it even come with a pair of 3D glasses with the purchase of the game, by the account from Illusion soft, their demo version of the game has been downloaded 600,000 times!
And there is the opening screen~
After the opening screen you are presented with 3 girls to choose from~
In the last couple of days, I have seen blogging friend Blowfish to first reviewed his Queen’s Blade Reina Battle Book (NSFW) and Tier, not willing to let Blowfish to have all the glory of having more tentacles in his website than his own, pulled out his Mahou Shoujo Ai Illustrations (NSFW). Now, while I have never been really vocal about my love and enjoyment of tentacles eroge, but it’s time for me to step up to my plate and show off my collection of tentacle related artbook! To prove that I am no less of a tentacles fan than Blowfish and Tier! Besides Mahou Shoujo Ai, which is right up there in the top tier of Tentacles Eroges, but there is another series of games that are also very famous for their SLG and tentacles actions, and that is the Mahou Senshi series 魔法戦士 by Triangle Soft, which I have previously discussed about in my 魔動装兵クラインハーゼ Kleinhasa post. Here I present to you the artbook that I acquired for Kourin Tenshi En Ciel Rena & Mahou Senshi Sweet Knight 2.
Be warned, expect explicit scenes and tentacles action. In case you can’t read the pink kanji, it means tentacles action! So think before you decided to read any further. It is highly recommended for fellow tentacle fans however. View Full Article »
Over the past year since I have entered the world of Dollfie Dream, I have mistakenly allowed some of my most desired items slipped past my grasp. I waited for months and months without finding them again, and I was left with pondering why I didn’t try harder when the chance was available. This past two months of 2010 has been especially meaningful to me, since quite a few of the items I missed out on has reappeared in front of me. This time I wasn’t going to let them slip pass me again! A pretty big haul that is, but I am very happy that I have finally gotten them in my hands! So, let’s take a look at them, shall we?
Today is special occasion for Feena because the long sought after Mashiro Mito alternate wig from Dolpa 22 has finally arrived! Obviously I have to have Feena put it on right the way! More under the cut~
