Hunting the Elusive

In this post, I just point out a few things which I have found over the course of the week on the web. To be exact, three cool things warrant mention: WNB's presence at Sunshine Creation 38, HD Makoto Shinkai, and Dengeki G's Festival Anime Vol1. Don't think for a second that I've run out of things to post about and therefore am just stuffing second hand content into this blog -- I haven't, and in fact there is a back log of around three or four posts to be done (note to self: AK, WMR, FRR, SKF). Just thought I'd break the monotony a bit.

OK, WNB Mark is making a show at Sunshine Creation 38, which was today. New merchandise there include a clear file of Louise, an 8 page illustration book (monochrome), and a Haruhi postcard.

I think the mini goods set from Comiket will be there too, as well be the stick poster set, which I think I already have.

Secondly, news from Makoto Shinkai fanweb: Makoto Shinkai's last two films (Kumo no Mukou and Byousoku 5cm) is coming to HD. According to Sofmap, 18 April is the day, with both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray format catered to. Cost? 4446yen each.

This might be just what pushes me to get a Blu-Ray drive for my computer eh? (Pictures link to the items)

News from Akibablog and Moeyo: Dengeki G's Festival Anime Vol 1 might be a good get. Pictures following stolen from Moeyo, and more pictures are in the originating blogs.

So the first Anime feature volume for Dengeki G's Festival is featuring Shakugan no Shana, and comes bundled with two rather average-looking figures of Shana and uhhhh Mamiko Noto's character. Well average looking if not for the fact that they are suggestively licking ice poles.

But you know, no one can resist a playing card set.

So yeah it might be fun. I might skip this one though. Need to moderate what I buy.
