So for the past weekend, I welcomed one of the many Dollfie Dream comrades I have made online through Dannychoo.com and figure.fm, tsunamidelta who traveled with his Dollfie Dream daughters from Ohio to Chicago meet one of his long time friend Shintocowboy, Anonymous_Object and I.  Originally, we were going to have a massive Dollfie Dream shoot out at a local garden but due to some extreme weather conditions and severe thunderstorm raging through the Midwest late Friday afternoon left many suburban regions of Chicago underwater forced us to abandon the plan for the group gathering (all the while left a few of Tsunamidelta’s daughters stranded, quite literally).  Fortunately, the weather made a 180 degrees turn around Saturday afternoon and Tsunamidelta and I were able to take our daughters to Chicago Museum Park for a good photos session.  Since I have taken my most spoiled, most pampered and most treasured daughter Kiriha to LA to attend AnimeExpo 2010, I think it’s about time to give my other lovely daughters some loving, so I have decided to take my 9th daughter Airi アイリ and 11th daughter Rina 緒方理奈 with me on this outdoor photo session at the Chicago Museum Park and lakefront.

A few days ago I have finally received email notification from Volks that the long awaited Dollfie Dream DD Ogata Rina 緒方理奈 is finally making her way across the ocean to become my numerically 11th Dollfie Dream daughter.  Due to the fact that I have split my order between Volks International and Volks USA, I am only going to welcome Rina today; however, I have made some provisions to have DD Yuki to arrive sooner… So today, we are going to welcome Rina and here we have DD Airi アイリ and DD Kiriha 桐葉 to welcome her arrival~

I have been waiting for the White Album PS3 game for quite some time now, the premium edition I ordered a few months ago has finally arrived.  I was hoping for DD Rina 緒方理奈 to arrive about the same time but since Volks International has announced  that they have once again pushed back the delivery date for White Album DD to July 7th for international customer, I guess this will have to do.  Along side with White Album PS3, there are some other exciting loots that arrived today, let’s take a look at them!

Here I have my loot inspection assistant Feena along with her sisters Kiriha, Rin and Estel to help me with loot inspection~ ( I have a feeling they are just having fun at the back instead of helping Feena out ^^;)

And on a separate and somewhat related note, the White Album PS3 game is also scheduled to hit the street in June! The target release date is now June 24! I was browsing through Aquaplus website yesterday and noticed they have released the promotional video to the Japan PSN store for download. A big Rina fanboy as I am, I could not wait to get my hands on my own copy of the PV since I have always wanted to look at the PV through a real full size TV even though it’s already out there on Youtube. As I have expected, it’s a real treat to the eyes ^^;

But while I am at it, decided to snap some screen shots for your viewing pleasures~

For those of you who are familiar with my habit, you would probably know that I have fairly strict requirements for knowing the personality and character of a Dollfie Dream before I decide to adopt them, for example, when Volks announced ToHeart 2 Kusugawa Sasara Dollfie Dream, I cast almost everything aside and focused on learning about Sasara.  The situation is fairly similar for the White Album Dollfie Dream, I wasn’t too impressed with the story outline at first and thought it is one of those typical harem anime… but a few punchi blurbers in figure.fm have convinced me to at least give the White Album anime a try because they felt I would like Ogata Rina.  It didn’t take very long for me to completely fall for Rina’s character, she is intriguing, elegant, beautiful, have more balls than all the men combined in the show!  She is most definitely one of the most awesome bishoujo characters I have seen in recent memory.  It is very refreshing to see a character like Rina to rise from the recently saturated market of “moe” characters.  We need more characters like Rina in anime!

Anyway, after about half way into the White Album anime, I have already decided to take Rina home at the first available opportunity.  You might have noticed the White Album Dollfie Dream Support banner in my side bar already :P   I have been checking the White Album Dollfie Dream page daily as well as the Dollfie Dream blog for any available information, I tracked back to the Yoko/Nia release schedule step by step and determined that we will see something by the end of the year at least and sure enough, Volks has announced more details about 10 days ago in the White Album Dollfie Dream Update that they will be releasing the schedule by the end of the year.

To show our appreciation and support for the White Album design team, my daughters have prepared their very own special message!

Well, after waiting for well over a month (painfully), we have finally gotten some update from Volks on the White Album Dollfie Dream!  The Volks Japanese page has been updated, but it will take well over a week before they get to their English site update, so here is a peek at the information they have released so far.

For the past week or so, I have been spending the majority of my time catching up on the White Album anime.  For those of you who are familiar with my habit, you are probably aware of what I am doing here.  My quest to understand the storyline for 森川 由綺 Morikawa Yuki and 緒方 理奈 Ogata Rina after their Dollfie Dream announcement.  Up to about episode 3-4, I am already completely captivated by the performance of Ogata Rina, whom I consider as one of the most awesome and attractive characters in my recent memory!  Needless to say, my 11th Dollfie Dream Daughter has already been decided, and it’s none other than Dollfie Dream Rina!  I am putting my name in the super early pre-order as soon as it’s up, despite the fact that I won’t see how she turns out!  You may also find the Dollfie Dream Rina banner in the side bar of my blog since a few days ago :D

Why am I making such an effort for this new girl Ogata Rina?  It’s simple, she is just that awesome!  “Most” anime in the past few seasons put too much emphasis on fan service and over emphasize on the “moe” factor and it’s getting very annoying for me to have to watch anime that lack a proper story, characters lack a proper personality and “progression”.  It’s very refreshing to see a buckle in this “moe” trend and see a character that literally captivated my heart from the beginning and continued to impress me every time she graced the screen (She is voiced by Nana Mizuki, I am sure that helped kicked it up a few notches there).  I think I might devote a topic to talk about her later.  In my personal opinion, Ogata Rina is beautiful, elegant, intelligent, talented and have more balls than all the men combined in the show!
