The Peorth arc continued. Early morning, Peorth approached Keiichi as he awaken. Skuld saw Peorth hugging Keiichi and tried to refrain. Peorth repelled her bomb and commented her inability as a second class goddess. She later made same comment to Urd. Both of them then challenged her and asked Keiichi to be the judge. Belldandy objected but was criticized by Peorth. Keiichi wanted to got to university and all three goddesses used their magics or machine to send him off. He ended up on a statue in a park.

Keiichi was soaked and they tried to warm him with their ways. Hasegawa was there at the park. The wind suddenly blew and an upskirt occurred. Keiichi was embarrassed but they thought he liked it. So the 3 goddessed messed with the wind. They caused Keiichi to blend in with wind and rotate like a typhoon. Peorth tried to cancel the magic but in vain. Belldandy sensed Keiichi’s call and went to help him. She went into the wind circumference and hug Keiichi, stopping the typhoon. Urd then said that they have all lost.

The next day, Peorth was jealous over Belldandy and Keiichi joy in greeting each other. She went to Urd’s room, took the love elixir and customized it. The elixir was supposed to make Keiichi fell in love with Peorth. Keiichi was fixing his motorbike and Peorth brought her the spiked drink. He fell asleep by the tree. Belldandy was thinking about what Peorth had told her about realizing Keiichi’s wish.

Megumi came to see the photos and woke Keiichi. She fell in love with Keiichi when she looked at Keiichi face. The same thing happen to Skuld, peorth and Urd. Keiichi tried to avoid Belldandy fell into the magic and he ran away. Belldandy hugged her from behind and said that she would like to fulfil all his wishes, not as first class goddess, but her own will. She asked if Keiichi’s willing to be with her as they may encounter obstacles. Keiichi turned around and replied that he never felt painful being with her because he just want Belldandy by his side. He the realized that she looked at him but there wasn’t any effect on her. Belldandy hugged her and lights dispersed from them. Everyone was cured of the love effect.

ARIA The Natural
Episode 8: 「その ボッコロの日に…」

It was the season for Aqua Alta. Alicia went to attend a meeting for undines. Akatsuki called Akari and asked her to help him. As usual he called her “momiko” meaning pigtails. She tagged along a small gondola with Aria sachou in it (Note: The city road were filled with water).

Many people wore red rose on their chests and Akari realized that it was Boccoro’s day. Akatsuki bought a basket of roses for Alice and he wanted to bpurchase more. On the way, they met Alice. She told Akari that Atena received a lot of rose from her peers. Akari asked if Alice gave her any. She remarked that even if she gave Atena one, Atena wont feel anything about it. Akari told her that Atena would be very happy if Alice gave her a rose.

They also met Aika and Akari asked if Al gave her the rose on her hand. Akatsuki and Aika argued and she said she would beat him and gave the rose to Alicia faster. Akatsuki and Akari reached the town centre. Akatsuki was bargaining with a peddler while Akari listened to the story of Borocco from a lady peddler.

Aika reached the venue for the undine meeting but she missed Alicia. She met Al nearby and he gave her a gem bearing the name “eye of rose”. Later, Akatsuki practised with Akari in giving the flowers to Alicia. Alicia approached from behind with a gondola full of roses. They were from familiar customers. Akatsuki tried to present the flowers to Alicia but she remarked that Akari received a lot of flowers from Akatsuki. He was stunned and fell to ground. The roses dropped onto the water and floated down the stream.

At the end, Alice gave a rose to Atena and she was indeed happy. Aika and Al spend the day together. He made a joke on red meat and ended being sarcastically remarked by Aika. Akatsuki later gave a rose to Akari as token of gratitude.

ARIA OST 2

Just some pictures of ARIA The Natural OST album; cover, back cover and insert. I decided to drop this purchase. Maybe I'll settle for the OP and ED single.

FFVII AC Masterpiece

Final Fantasy VII AC Pre-painted Resin Statue



The manufacturer is Kotobukiya. Details on the figure can be found here. Sephiroth and Cloud

I would love to have this collection but I decided not to empty my wallet for them. It's tempting, I know.

Sephiroth's about 35cm while Cloud's 25cm. Yesasia listed 8 for shipping unit so I guess they are quite heavy and the shipping cost's not going to be merciful! They will be available in September.

Hobby Link list the figure at about US$211 each, Cloud and Sephiroth

Yesasia listed Cloud at US$320 [Early bird:$288] and Sephiroth at US$340 [Early bird:$306].

Hobby Search priced them at about US$ 210 each.

So anyone's thinking of spending at least US $500 for these????

Suzuka 106 Discontent

凉风 #106 不満 ふまん

Yamato was waiting for Suzuka near the staircase. Yamato asked whether she was fine because she looked tired the day before. Suzuka then asked if he would be fine the next day. Suzuka reminded him that the IH qualifying race would be the next day. Yamato answered that he had practised hard for it. Suzuka said that he could race with Arima. Yamato was relieved that Arima would not compete in the IH. Suzuka turned sad. After practice, Miki came and chat with Suzuka. Yamato had gone back since he had to work. Miki said that Yamato wont have any problem. He would qualify as long as he released his potential.

The next day, Yamato managed to qualify for IH. He was washing his face and Suzuka approached him. She passed him a towel. Yamato said that his speed wasn't encouraging but he did qualify. Suzuka suggested that he should reduce his working days. She added that he do not need to accumulate the desired money before September. She could call him tentatively.

Yamato asked her not to worry. Suzuka then said that Arima is very fast. She asked him whether he was serious in competing with Arima, until now. Yamato replied "definitely" and added that he had been practising hard eventhough he missed several practices before. Suzuka asked him if he's willing to be beaten by Arima and whether he has forgotten about the past. Yamato replied that he's different from Arima. He added that he needed to work and he couldnt give his all like Arima. He continued that Arima started long before him and he was already a star athelete. He couldnt surpass him even how hard he tried..

Suzuka cut him off and shouted, "Enough! I hate the current Yamato". Yamato was stunned. He shouted back,"Who do you think I'm doing all this for.." Suzuka was shocked and sad. She ran away.

Episode 7: ああっ貴方の望み叶えますわっ
Episode started with Peorth counting roses waiting for requests. Keiichi showed the photographs they had taken to Belldandy. Urd noticed a photo of belldandy smiling happily. Keiichi decided to call Megumi and showed her the photos. He made a call and the call was picked up by Peorth. She arrived via Keiichi camera lens.

As she was explaining to Keiichi, she heard Urd's voice. She was shocked when she saw Urd, Skuld and Belldandy there. Peorth asked for Keiichi wish but he couldnt think of one. He wished for Peorth to go back but made her angry. Later they told her about Belldandy's contract with Keiichi. Peorth decided not to give up. Belldandy felt uneasy but Keiichi assured her.

In the afternoon, Belldandy called Keiichi for lunch. He came across Peorth on the way and told him that she prepared a banquet for him. She forced the food into Keiichi. Urd told her not to came between Belldandy and Keiichi and showed her the photo. Urd told her that only someone whom Belldandy trust and care would be able to smile like that. A series of things continue to happen. Peorth tried to clean Keiichi's back, prepared a ridiculous robe and also turned his room into a "sexy room". Keiichi decided to approach Belldandy and he fell asleep in her room. She put Keiichi's head on her lap.

Next week should be hilarious since Peorth, Skuld and Urd would tried their ways to compete with each other to achieve Keiichi's request.

ARIA The Natural
Episode 7: 「その 猫たちの王国へ…」
Summer has started and Akari changed into her summer uniform. Aria sachou has left early in the morning. Alica, Akari and Aika had their usual practice together. In this episode we also see that Aika is the best among the three of them, being able to steer the gondola through narrow lane. They encountered Aria sachou on its gondola and decided to follow it. They came to a very narrow lane which they never being to. They decided not to enter since Alice said that she need to go to school soon. At night Aria sachou came back exhausted.

The next day Akari and Aika decided to explore the place they last saw Aria sachou the day before. They came to a narrow lane and then an old warehouse. They continued forward but ended up in the same place again and again. Aika and Akari grew afraid and suddenly Aria sachou appeared and showed them the exit. Aika quickly row towards the exit while Akari thought to herself that the cats wouldnt want people to see their secret place. Suddenly, she saw all the cats in there and the leader (big cat) bowing to her from afar.

P/S: I dont really like Peorth voice cast, Rei Sakuma. It's too mature for Peorth.

Suzuka 105 Chance Encounter

凉风 #105 擦違 すれちがい

The title is of 2 kanji but the hiragana shows that it should be 擦れ違い.

Miyamoto called for Yamato but Miki told him that Yamato had sms, saying that he had overslept. Miyamoto said that it was the third time this month. Miki replied that it could be due to his tiring part-time job. During lunch time, Yamato yawned and Yasunobu asked him about his job. He added that Yamato didnt have time for Suzuka due to the job. Yamato agreed that he could only talk with Suzuka on the way home and during dinner. Yamato also said that he had a date the next day with Asahina.

The next day, Yamato yawned while waiting for Suzuka near the stairs. He wished that he can sleep longer. Nevertheless, he said that it was rare chance that both were free and he shouldn't waste the time sleeping. Suzuka appeared from behind and asked if he felt sleepy. He denied. Suzuka asked him where he planned to take her to. He said they will go for the movie that she had longeth for, "Murder of the Sunken Ship". She was very happy to hear that. On the way, she remarked that it has been a while since they had a date, the last time was in her hometown.

Yamato said it felt good that he received his pay for last month work. He said that he would be able to buy a computer before she go abroad. Inside the cinema, Suzuka noticed that Yamato fell asleep while watching the movie. Later in a cafe, Yamato tried to comment on the movie but Suzuka said that he slept through the movie. Suzuka later said that Mr. Sasaoka was eyeing on Yamato's progress and added that if Yamato put in effort, Mr. Sasaoka would keep his promise and produce a shoe for him.

Yamato told Suzuka that he wanted to work for more days because he wanted to accumulate more money and use part of it for them. Suzuka tried to tell Yamato something but she withdrawed. They later went shopping and Yamato noticed that Suzuka's bit moody. He asked if she's tired. He then commented on his okonomiyaki popularity and his intention to learn more professional way of cooking it.

Suzuka suddenly apologized to Yamato and said that she wanted to go home. She smiled and said she was indeed bit tired. She the left while Yamato noticed her unease facial expression.

P/S: Sometimes I think Kouji quite bad with title naming, it dont match the chapter sometimes. There wont be an issue this week. Kouji was having a break this week.

At night, Shiho went to Keiichi residence and tried to conduct excorcism. Shiho changed into her robe and approached Keiichi. Her face came too close to Keiichi while trying to synchronize with his breathing. Belldandy watched in stun and suddenly the ceiling lamp bursted. Shiho also sticked some charms on the walls but it actually summoned spirits instead of removing them. Belldandy, Urd and Skuld removed the charms.

After that Shiho kissed Keiichi in gratitude for enduring her exorcism. Belldandy was stunned and got jealous. The lamp got short-circuit, the water over flowed, electrical appliances fizzed.

Episode 6: 「その 鏡にうつる笑顔は…」
Episode 6 was about Alice and Atena. Alice couldn't fit in with friends of her batch. She prefered the companion of Aika and Akari. She invited them to her room at night and Atena requested for their stays at Orange Planet dormitory. Alice received an invitation to a function for orange planet trainees but she decided not to attend the party. They later went for sauna, Aika and Akari encouraged Alice to go to the party. She rejected and left the sauna. Atena helped Alice to blow dry and combed her hair. She also had a conversation with her about the mirror and the person reflected on it. This enlighten her.

Back in her room, she saw the Orange Planet sachou trying very hard to climb onto the bed and succeed in it (so that it can bite Aria sachou??). She was also encouraged by her sachou effort and decided to put in effort too. The next day, early morning, she greeted Atena, Akari and Aika who were still in bed and say lots of optimistic stuff and ran to her school. Atena was happy for her. Alice has also decided to join the party.

I like this episode since we didnt get enought of Atena in first season.

As promised, I have post the photos of the DVD and the figures. The figures are not part of the DVD. They are of different purchases. See previous post.

My Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Collection

Belldandy Casual Wear PVC Figure

Belldandy newest PVC Figurine. I pre-ordered mine from HLJ but missed out on the early bird price. This is one of the best Belldandy figure I have seen. Although she's not in her megami dress., the facial expression surpass previous vintage and models.



This figure is available from Hobby Link Japan and Yesasia. HLJ cant estimate the shipping cost yet, but i suspect it'll still be cheaper than Yesasia (qualify for free shipping).

Ollin said that Kotobukiya 1/8 models tend to be smaller than other companies, so take that as a note.

Ootaki, Tamiya, Hasegawa, Keiichi and Belldandy were in a car. They were shouting and trying to raise funds for the next drag race. Belldandy helped them to find people in need. Some club's members were locked out of their room. Tamiya and Ootaki smashed the wall and put in a new door for them. Later they found a guy with motorbike problem and he rode away after repairing. Tamiya and Ootaki chased after him but lost him.

Ootaki came across Aoshima trying to force Yamano in riding his car. He asked her to abandon her scooter since it was faulty. Yamano had special feeling with the scooter since she used her first pay to buy it. Ootaki figured out the problem and helped her to change the spark plug. Ootaki used the spark plug that he used as ear ring. This spoiled Aoshima's plan. Yamano and Ootaki met face to face and was attracted to each other.

The next day, almost the same conversation as above took place. Ootaki appeared and said he was envy with Keiichi. In the club room, Ootaki was restless. Somebody knocked at the door and it was Yamano. She gave Ootaki a bento and ran away. Belldandy surrounded Ootaki with luck and he won free pass to the recreational playground. He invited Yamano and she agreed to go with him. Yamano liked cosplay and they ended up in cat and dog cosplay and took photos. The playground belonged to Aoshima group and he asked his staff to stop all the games. But one of the staff restarted the "cup-ride" for them. It was Tamiya in disguise.

The same conversation took place the next day and OOtaki said he was invited to Yamano's residence. They tried to choose a suitable clothing for Ootaki. Aoshima asked Sayoko to introduce Yamano's father to him and tried to convince him to disband the automobile club. Yamano's father was one of the university board director. Yamano forgot about her cooking and it over-burnt. Ootaki said they couldnt use water to extinguish the fire but Aoshima ignored and pour water onto the fire. The fire bursted and nearly burn Yamano. Ootaki shielded her while Belldandy extinguished the fire with her magic. Yamano's father was impressed and later they found something in common.

The next day started with the same conversation and then Ootaki appeared in Dinosaur cosplay. Yamano's father forced Ootaki to wear Gamera's costume and told Ootaki to call him father.

Received my FFVI AC Region 4 DVD just now. The DVD has a collector tin which is exclusive to Ezydvd. The cover for the DVD wasn't as spectacular as the Japan edition but the tin was nice. The collector edition has sold out.

My brother and I bought the figures of Cloud and Sephiroth on Saturday from Empire Toys in Perth. My bro's Sephiroth cost AUD$45 while my Cloud cost $42. It was Comic Day so we had 5% discount. Unfortunately, a small screw was missing from my Cloud's leg and caused it to be loose. I was replaced with a new one but it's at my gf house now. I'll put up the pictures in the next few days. Meanwhile I post the pictures from Empire Toys
