魔法少女リリカルなのは Vivid 56話

Without further ado, here's 魔法少女リリカルなのは Vivid 56話! (sorry that I don't know what the chapter title is called; I only know it is something about the past...)

At this scene, (if I'm not wrong), Einhart wanted to leave... As expected of Nanoha's daughter, Vivio got a little upset(?) 

I got a feeling Einhart is starting to let go of her past and then... The feel here is great in a way the reader can really see the viewpoint of Einhart or rather Claus... 

...She can move on from now on-I think her issue is somewhat resolved

Some Mother-Daughter time

Basically, this chapter is somewhat like a aftermath chapter. From the last few chapters, the casts went to find a book on Jeremiah's memories or something and managed to find it. I think the casts saw the memories and this chapter very much focus on Einhart's resolve in which I guess she can finally let go Claus' memories and live a life she wanted(?). I'm not sure since I can't read Japanese but from how the back of Einhart being crumpled down, I got a feeling it is the wall she made from Claus' memories and that, after learning more from Jeremiah's memories, the wall is broken down. She probably can move on from Claus' memories of failing to protect his beloved...

At the last few pages, a little Mother-Daughter time. I guess the trip to the Infinity Library was a quite a long one, considering that around 10 chapters were done on that trip itself! I bet Nanoha would miss her daughter from such long time though I think it is only a day long... Also, seeing how Fate is missing, I guess she is on a mission so no doubt the loneness that Nanoha has at home would intensify.

And, that's all for the chapter this month! I think this series is going to end soon. The story is pretty much centered on Einhart herself who is somewhat like Fate, being immersed in her memories and the past, and fail to see the present and the future. With Einhart starting to move on from Claus' memories, the problem is then resolved and that would end the story unless the author wanted to start some new stuff...

And so, see ya in the next post on MGLN innocent chapter! Ja ne~

コンプエース 2014年2月号

Greetings to all. Mentioned earlier that I try my luck in going to my local bookstore and see if the Japanese magazine is out, I may buy it. And, YES! I did buy it and the contents of it will be spread across 2 posts; showing MGLN Vivid and MGLN Innocent latest chapters!- The chapters for MGLN innocent are exciting this month! Look forward to it!

Cover of  コンプエース February 2014 issue

The magazine comes along with a 2014 calender with MGLN! 

Cover of the calender

The images used for the calender!- A total of 6; similar to the Madoka calender with 2 months in one page... 

Back cover- Love the chibis! 

This calender is a wall calender as every page has holes punched at the top and at the bottom for easy flipping or rather changing of months and of course to hang on the wall! As a fan of MGLN, having this calender is great except that the images done are mostly of characters in swimsuits...Sigh... 

So, this calender is the free gift that comes along with the magazine. Buy the magazine if you want the calender though again, it is simply a reference type of calender that disable me from writing events that I may have on the date itself...

Trailer for this magezine: (Subscribe to KADOKAWAanime for more info of Kadokawa news!

And so, there'll be a 2-parts special on MGLN Vivid and Innocent! See you in that two posts!

Jap Stuff Part 3: Mangas and Updates

This will be the last part of the stuff I bought in Japan. It will be about the mangas I bought... Though I can't understand Japanese, I bought the mangas namely to support the series. For the mangas I bought that are in Japanese, I tend to do that due to the fact that I know they are unlikely to be translated... So, from the overview of the stuff I bought, you would see that I bought a total of 5 mangas. They are MGLN innocent volume 2, Persona 4 volumes I and VIII, and Tales Of world Radiant Mythology 3 Volumes 3 and 4.

MGLN innocent Volumes 1 and 2 

 There's not much to say about MGLN innocent since the chapters are slowly been translated online and also, the chapters in the 2nd volume are very much read or seen by others by now.

Persona 4 manga from I to VIII

As for Persona 4 manga, there is a slight difference I notice in the latest volume; volume VIII. People who had played Persona 4 Golden would know that the Junes concert event only happened in Golden and this manga actually covered on it!

Scene where the casts brought the musical instruments they have

And, as expected of Yosuke when he took that musical instrument...

He started thinking of using it as his weapons when fighting shadows

The band is set up in position!

Again, as expected the training isn't well done...

This is the part where both Chie and Yukiko are finally understood how their musical instruments can be played...(If I'm not wrong...)

Setting up the concert venue 

Practising their musical performance 

In here, I must say that thinking of practising in the TV world is quite a good idea, considering the fact that this will not cause any disturbance especially at night! 

After many practices, the group is ready to take the stage!

Showing Chie and Yukiko's performance

Next up is Souji and Yosuke 

Followed by Rise singing

Kanji on the Drums

And Naoto on the keybroad(sorry for the blur image...)

In this scene, Taro Namatame is presented. As to why Adachi has such a reaction...Well, it is up to the readers to think...

Knowing how the event ended, yeah, this is the scene. When the audience asked for an encore that the group never expected, Teddie went and jumped in the crowd. Of course, as a teddy bear(even though he is large), the audience would lift him up like any soft toy but not the boys... Seeing how Teddie pull out that stunt, the boys actually jumped and ended up like this except for Souji of course...Sigh...

Last on the list, Tales Of World Radiant Mythology 3 Manga. 

From volumes 1 to 4

There are a total of 4 volumes with volume 4 as the ending volume. I bought this manga, partly due to the fact that I could not play the game... Also, I want to support this manga and hoping there will be Tales Of World Radiant Mythology 4! In addition, this author is the same one who did Tales Of world Radiant Mythology 2 manga though I prefer Tales Of world Radiant Mythology 2 art instead of 3.

As for Tales Of world Radiant Mythology 1, not sure whether is it the same author but I think not. Btw, it is quite hard to put all Tales characters in a manga so I kinda feel amazed that the author managed to include most characters! 

That's the showcase of the Japanese manga I have and bought from Japan. They are quite expensive in my country so buying them in Japan is the best. This time, I didn't buy any Japanese magazines due to the fact that in a few days from the day I left Japan, the next monthly magazine will be out... It'll be a waste to buy, knowing a new one is coming out next... Though if my local bookstore has the newest magazine I want, I may consider buying and post any juicy info on any upcoming anime or existing manga. 

Moving on to updates! I said before that I am working on my weaponery. I kinda in the stage of completing the final touch of my keyblade and it should be done by next week! 

The chain for the end of the keyblade- near completion! 

A little bit of some touch-ups and it should be done! 

Some character designs that I had done in 2013 and they have already been uploaded in Deviantart! Each character assumes a different role from each other. (For the Wolf Boy, I know that I had uploaded before but it was incompleted without a name and now thinking much, I decided on Kiba...)

Wolf Boy-Kiba

Knight-Sir Luke

Gundam Pilot Sora

 Also, another drawing I did: (I had finished but now isn't the time to upload it yet...)

I think that's all for this post though I like to take this time to introduce an upcoming anime that seem...Nice?

It's called Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei. Not sure whether is it nice since I have not read the light novel yet... It just seem nice from the uniform and characters inside...

 

With that, I'll end it now! See all in the next post! Ja ne, this is Will signing off!

Jap Stuff part 2: Gundam

This will be part 2 and it will be about the gundam models I bought. In the course of one week, I finished all three of them! All of them are HD version. Over a year ago, I realised that HD models are great! Not too tall or big that the balance of the gundam is off and also the gundam is not over sized to the point it looks unnatural! Imagine a small image and making it big which result in an unnatural look...

For Gundam Fans, I'm sure they know that there is a new series called Gundam Build Fighters. It the Gundam Series after Gundam Age. It is much different since this time there is no war to fight and everything is not so serious with all the remorse for the fallen or anything! Instead, the settling is such that there is a technology that allow people to experience real life fighting as Gundam pilot with their built Gundam! The sad thing is the fact that any damage done to the Gundam will stay unless being repaired. If in a fight that the Gundam is being cut into half, then the Gundam model is really being cut into half. If that's the case then repairing will require a lot of work...

Enough of the rambling of this series. If you want to find out more, you can easily watch the episodes in the Youtube Channel of GundamInfo. I introduced this series as out of the three gundam I bought, 2 of them are from that series!

So first, introducing Bear San!

The completed Bear San!

I think the gundam company really know how to upgrade Bearguy! When I first saw Bearguy, I thought it was kinda ugly and that if sent to battle, I doubt it will survive long... In my mind of that Gundam was that it is ugly and weak... Not one that I like... Later, in Gundam Build Fighters, when i saw this Gundam, I was shocked that it is the same Gundam as Bearguy but much improved! After looking closely, if the first version of Bearguy had changed his face, maybe it will look great and cute like this Bear San! In addition, I think many wouldn't think it is a Gundam but looks can be deceiving!

Moving on, the next in line is Build Strike.

Ta Da, Build Strike completed!

I must say the improvement done to the original Strike to get this version is great and the booster designed actually made Strike looks a lot Freedom. Then again, Freedom is Strike upgraded... Also, out of the Gundam Series, I love Gundam Seed's Gundam Design the best!

And, lastly Gundam Age 2 Normal! I finished it just yesterday in the night and nothing beats building a Gundam to spend time though I had a late night sleep due to it...

COMPLETED! Gundam Age 2 Normal!

Unlike the 2 other Gundams, this one has a stand provided! Also, if one has watched Gundam Age, Gundam Age 2 can change to 'plane' mode; something like how Core Splendor forming into Impulse while Gundam Age 2 is the reverse of it. Moreover, out of all the Gundam in Gundam Age series, I like Gundam Age 2 design the best! It is like a mixture of Impulse's Core Splendor and Gundam 00.

I think it is sheer luck that I bought the Gundams in Japan! At that time, there was a HD campaign.(I dn't know about now...) This campaign makes it such a way that (if I'm not wrong) for every HD gundam bought, a free Gundam weapon is given! In a total of 3 HD gundams bought, I got 3 weapons that I can let my Gundams carry. There are a total of 6; A to F. I chose C, D and F.

From Left to Right: F, D and C

From Left to Right: C's weapon; a sniper, D's weapon; some charging(?) gun and F's weapon; a machine gun. The other weapons after F are from Build Strike Box

And, here's the 3 Gundams that I had spend a week to finish all!

From Left to Right: Gundam Age 2 Normal, Build Strike and Bear San

With that, I'll end here and conclude everything in the next post about the books or rather manga I bought from Japan!

This is Will signing off!
