Zettai Shougeki ~Platonic Heart~ Promo Movie

Finally a few seconds of footage. Ten major companies have combined their forces to bring the new anime with character designs by eroge star "Jin Happōbi". We'll have to wait and see if the story can deliver what the designs appear to promise. Don't forget about the clocks either, they are still are rare treat.

The Iceman Cometh, Jedi Go Home!!!!!

This past Saturday I wasn't waiting in line to get into Comiket instead I was up bright and early in line for a summer sale at Mandrake in Akihabara. Lucky for me I was standing in the shadow of Mandrake building, because Saturday was one heck of a miserable hot and humid day. Across from Mandrake there is a small shop of all sorts of goods, and for the past month or so they place a massive block of ice in the entrance walkway of their shop every weekend in order keep things cool.


While watching the delivery guys set up I felt like yelling "Hey.... head three blocks down, make a right toward Chou Dori on the corner you will find three Penguin that need the ice more than anybody else in Tokyo will ever need it".



Hey check out the guy with the Transformers bag, I wonder if he thinks it is an Energon Qube.





After the sale I headed to Comiket and there he was the Jedi that betrayed and murdered Lukes father, hunted all the Jedi Nights and single handedly kill the Star Wars franchise with his bad acting faster than any fully operational Death Star could.

1UP Mushroom Burger

This is the "first draft" mushroom burger. The bread for the bun was baked in an automatic rice cooker, and painted green using food coloring. The patty is predominantly made of Japanese mushrooms, including maitake, shiitake, funashimeiji, shimeiji, and enoki. Other ingredients include mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and basil pesto.

It gave me the strength to defeat Bowser, but Princess broke up with me in the end. Something about "not being big enough"...
