  • Camouflage – Aoi Yu x Yottsu no Uso

    Almost a month ago, I blogged PRICEY! xD OMG, has it been almost a month already?? A month of pricey-ness~~~ which includes Photobooks. Which includes me buying those photobooks. Yes, those 3 photobooks (except for Travel Sand) are in PROCESSING status on YesAsia.com – And I’m hoping that I don’t get an email saying they can’t find the Rhythmedia Photobook entitled Dandelion, because that one already shows up as OUT OF STOCK. But it wasn’t out of stock when I placed my order, so there you go~~ I also bought Travel Sand from another store, but I won’t post where until I complete my order successfully. xD

    Anyway, July 16th is coming soon. That’s the day when Aoi Yu x 4 Lies CAMOUFLAGE weird thingy series comes out. I like weird, and I like artsy fartsy~ and apparently the show wasn’t so popular, but people IT WAS GOOD. But it’s not for the masses… le sigh. Will my Yu sacrifice the artsy for commercial? I don’t want her to stop doing projects like Camouflage just because they don’t sell. So AM wondering… should I buy or should I not?? If there weren’t language and region issues, I would so totally buy. BUT there’s such thing as language and regions… Right now, it’s only being released as a Region 2 DVD (Japan, Asia, etc etc) and there are no subtitles listed. In the day of multi-region DVD players, I could overlook the region… but I can’t overlook the lack of English subtitles.

    So if you’re Japanese… or are able to watch the show sans-subs because you know Japanese… AND you liked the series, I suggest buying. I can only hope to either learn Japanese fast enough (ha!), or that a version with English subs comes available soon. Here’s the link to YesAsia.com:

  • Buffy Tarot Cards Cancelled!

    EFF! I say~~~

    I was REALLY looking forward to buying the Buffy Tarot Cards Deck! I even created an account with TFAW.com just to find out they didn’t ship to Peru, so my friend was gonna buy it for me.

    Sucky! I don’t even read tarot, lol… but the deck was a must-have because it was so awfully pretty!! [see, because me buy awfully pretty stuff, LOL] – Anyway, my friend was ordering for me, so I thought it was a sure thing~~~ until I check up on the link just to find a notice!

    THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Official word from Dark Horse:

    “Due to circumstances beyond our control, Dark Horse will not be producing the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Tarot Deck. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but no existing orders will be filled. We appreciate your support of this program, and again apologize to those who placed advance orders and to fans alike.”

    When did that show up? I don’t know. But I demand a proper explanation!! LOL’

    Say~~~ what if DH releases the artwork on high quality printable digital files!?? It’ll be good to have, and it will be such a waste of prettyness if it’s just discarded~~~ And I’m sure many will still buy the deck, if they EVER decide to publish a print version. I know I would~~ My printing abilities wouldn’t compare to the quality printing they would offer…. most likely. Non?
