I have just received words that my 12th daughter Morikawa Yuki has began her journey over the ocean to become my 12th daughter, hopefully I will be able to reunite Yuki and Rina very soon Similar Posts:

1. Tony Works Ciel Chronicle Art Book

3. MediaMix Game Magazine May

5. Moero Downhill Night 2
6. Lightning Warrior Raidy II
7. Blaze Blue Calamity Trigger PS3 version
8. Dollfie Dream Glasses
9. DDAC-001 Dollfie Dream use machine gun

I didn’t spend as much time in the exhibit hall as I could, perhaps it was due to my Dollfie Dream loving habit  and another reason was the fact that carrying all the camera gear, tripod etc kind of took my attention away from shopping.  For those of you who are familiar with other other video magazine post Dengeki Moeho – Otona no Moeho Video Overview [NSFW], you can expect a similar treatment for the Tony Works and Mobile Suit Girl Art Book in the coming future.

I actually passed up the opportunity to buy the Tony Works Ciel Chronicle back at Acen 2010, not exactly a huge lost but who doesn’t want to have more Tony Works in their collection?  I have always been fond of Mobile Suit Girl, as soon as I spotted it in the Kino store, it was an instant get for me.  And when it comes down to the MediaMix Game Magzine, those big letter stating Fortune Arterial to be animated were enough to perk my interest.

Now, I don’t think I need much explanation for why I ended up getting this Anna bedsheet now do I?  He is My Master + Yuri = Instant Win.

And I have already talked about Lightning Warrior Raidy II and Moero Downhill Night 2 in detail in my last post on Anime Expo 2010 JAST USA Bishoujo Game Panel [NSFW].  The Blaze Blue Calamity Trigger PS3 version was on sale at the Aksys store for $20 bucks so why not, plus the girls in Blaze Blue looks quite hot

The next two items didn’t technically come from Anime Expo but were loots from part of the trip when I visited Volks USA for the first time.  And obviously, my most pampered daughter Kiriha got to try everything first hand and here she is ready for model for us~

And here is a close up shot on the glasses, a bit big but it’s actually the smaller size already…

I have always wanted a pair of DD Glasses but didn’t know how they would look since it’s not cheap, I ended up getting a pair anyway so I will keep it in mind for future possibilities.

That’s it for now, I got to get busy to play Lightning Warrior Raidy II and Moero Downhill Night 2 before the next photo shoot~Similar Posts:

1. White Album PS3 Limited Edition
2. Dell Inspiron 11z with Intel SU4100 processor
3. Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-S Nikkor Prime Lens
4. Flashpoint rechargeable battery designed for Nikon EN-EL9 (Very cheap)
5. Eye-Fi Pro X2 8GB SDHC Class 6

Regular visitors here probably already know that I am a huge Ogata Rina 緒方理奈 fan and that whole reason why I am interested in the White Album PS3 game to begin with is to play the Rina arc properly with full HD resolution since I wasn’t quite satisfy with graphic quality of the original game was released over 10 years ago.

The graphic quality improvement over the past 10 years or so is definitely very visible here!

Let’s take a look what’s inside the premium box~

Since I pre-order the game ahead of time, I also received the pre-order bonus here.

This PS3 Game introduced a new heroine named Sayoko Kisaragi along the original Ogata Rina and Morikawa Yuki.

Nice mini posters!

Inside the box is the game, White Album original sound track and the White Album Illustration Book.  And based on looking over the content inside the illustration book, I can tell the basic storyline of this game is going to be very close to the original game instead of the storyline of the White Album anime.

Next up is my new Dell Inspiron 11z, which is only meant to satisfy my computing need on the road since I gave my old notebook to my brother some time ago.

This Dell 11z is powered by the CULV line of duo core processor @1.3GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800Mhz FSB.

The next item on the list  is my new prime glass Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-S Nikkor Lens.  I have been shooting pictures with the zoom glass for some time now on the 18-105mm and I have started to noticed the limitation on picture clarity with it.  So I guess it’s about time to step up to the next level and get my first prime lens.  Here are some comparison shots~

This first picture is taken with my Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED Nikkor Lens

The next picture is take with my new prime glass

So far I am quite happy with the improved sharpness and color reproduction of the new glass :3

The last item, the Eye-Fi Pro X 2 8GB SDHC Class 6 is something I have been dreaming about for some time, some of you might have heard about it before.  But for those of you who hasn’t, this little SD card can turn your ordinary camera into a Wi-Fi enable camera!  It can transfer photo directly from your camera to your computer via a Wi-Fi hotspot, and in some selection model, it can even transfer directly to your laptop without a wireless router!  I have long dream of having the ability to wirelessly transfer photo data from my camera (I even thought about making something similar to this myself at one point), especially useful for Dollfie Dream Photography.  Why does it matter?  Because I believe every camera position, especially for Dollfie Dream Photography, that every pose and corresponding head position is unique for any given frame, and therefore, not easily reproducible.  Have you ever taken some photo of your DD and only realize you didn’t quite get the head positioned the way you wanted?  This will solve that problem!  Since you can monitor your progress on full screen as you go!  I can see this becoming especially useful for my next outdoor photography session!

There are several versions of Eye-Fi SD cards, all of them have the option of uploading your photo to your selected photo sharing service as well, how convenient!

Another cool feature that come with this card is called the Endless Memory, the moment your photo is confirmed to be uploaded to your computer or photo sharing service, the file is automatically erased from your SD card; so you will never have to worry about running out of space on your SD card again!  From all the review I have read so far indicate that this is the real deal, it works just the way they advertise it.  For those of you who actually care about the way your photo turn out, this is something you should not overlook!  Almost every major camera brand support this feature!

Oh before I forget, Volks USA has uploaded some of my recent pictures to their Sumika Times Blog, be sure to go check them out ^^;

For your convenience, I have included some product links here~

And that’s about it for now, I got to start packing up for Anime Expo 2010! For those of you heading out to AX 2010, see you out there!

Anyway, back on topic.  Ever since I adopted my thirteenth daughter Kiriha, I had this idea to collect all four of the August Soft licensed Dollfie Dream, and there were these images in my head that I want to capture them into photos.  So, without further ado, allow me to present to you, my August Four!  A collection of photos on Dollfie Dream Feena フィーナ, Dollfie Dream Estel エステル from the Visual Novel Brighter than Dawning Blue also known as Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na 夜明け前より瑠璃色な; Dollfie Dream Erika 千堂 瑛里華 and Dollfie Dream Kiriha 紅瀬桐葉 from the Visual Novel Fortune Arterial.

Well here is what’s on the back ^^;

Good enough? Let’s move on

Since there isn’t a real easy way for me to share ecchi video, but I have found a way to share them on flickr, the only limitation is they cut off view playback at the 1:30 mark.

I have dedicated a separate page for these video feeds
