Bouncy boobies?

Figure: Tenjou Tenge Gashapon Figures Part 3
Series: Tenjou Tenge
Characters: Natsume Maya and Natsume Aya
Size: 2" tall
Publisher: Kaiyodo

Okay. I just have to write about this one. Well I've been meaning to, but I just kept forgetting. There isn't much to say about this set of four tiny busts except that they have something both interesting and highly amusing at the same time... BOUNCY BOOBIES!!

Yes, you read that right. The main feature of the Tenjou Tenge Part 3 set is the bouncy boobs. It is highly noticeable when you look at chibi Maya (the only non-bust in the set). Her boobs are abnormally large so from just that, you'll kinda notice something different about it.

Behind those massive boobs, prominent cleavages and obvious shirts are nothing else except springs. Yep, that's the secret behind the Tenjou Tenge Part 3 figures. They aren't easily seen though, so don't worry. You have to kind of bend the boobs downward to see the spring.

The Tenjou Tenge Part 3 figures might be a waste if you just store it inside the display case (like my set). What you can do with them is to put them on your car's dashboard, if you have a car, and watch their boobies bounce! They're that bouncy. Actually, you can just line them up on the tabletop and hit the table with your hand...they'd bounce.

Anyway, I don't really know if these are still available. I guess if you look really hard, they might be. So if you like Tenjou Tenge, or like bouncy big boobies for that matter, get the Part 3 and have fun! ^_^

Upcoming Video Game to Movies List!

Jeff found a list of video games that are to made into movies in the years to come (2008 - 2010). I don't know if I should be happy that some of my favorite video games will have a live-action counterpart, but I think Jeff isn't.

Well, I enjoyed the Street Fighter movie (Van Damme) but everyone around me says that it's one of the suckiest movies ever made. It's my favorite though...but the subsequent video game to big screen movies, like Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Dead or Alive, are some of the movies that I totally did not enjoy at all.

Anyway, it's up to you to decide on which of these movies you'd go see when they're showing already...

What do you do when a stalker is after you?

Title: Zashiki Onna
Story & Art: Mochizuki Minetaro
Volumes: 1
Genre: Seinen, Horror

What would you do if one day you find out that you're a target of a very creepy stalker?

Meet Mori. He's a normal college student who lives in an apartment complex. One night, he hears frantic knocking on his neighbor's door (who incidentally is his schoolmate). His neighbor seems too be away, so he goes out to see who is knocking.

He peeks outside and what does he see? A long-haired woman dressed in wet and dirty clothes, with chipped, long nails, and she's carrying a lot of bags. Mori tells her that the guy she's looking for is out when suddenly, she's right at his doorway, asking him if she could use his phone. He lets her, then asks her to leave immediately.

Bad move for Mori. Not only does the woman start calling "him", she diverts her stalking towards Mori...

Zashiki Onna is all about a guy being stalked by a woman. This manga came out long before the term "stalking" was known in Japan. It made people aware of the possibilities and dangers of being stalked. Zashiki Onna is known as one of the creepiest and horrific manga ever, and I totally agree.

The artwork alone sends chills up my spine. Add Zashiki Onna's story and you've got me looking around my room, listening for anything suspicious and continuously humming a very happy tune in my head.

Zashiki Onna is not scary in the same sense that ghosts stories and paranormal tales give you. What makes Zashiki Onna scary is the fact that it could happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. The manga is about a woman who actually hurts anyone getting close to the man she's stalking. I think that's a lot scarier than ghosts and whatnot (although that ghost hanging off someone's shoulders is really unnerving).

I was completely surprised with Zashiki Onna the first time I read it. I certainly think you will too. Forget the spoilers here (since this much can be found about Zashiki Onna in any decent site) and go read the manga now ^_^

A boy, a girl and a thousand-old legend

Title: Air
Story: Visual Arts/Key
Art: Katsura Yukimaru
Volumes: 2
Genre: Drama

I just finished reading Air earlier. The OVA is much sadder than the manga and I think that there's something missing in the manga that was in the OVA.

Air focuses on the story of Kamio Misuzu. She lives in a quiet town without any friends and was always alone until she met Kunisaki Yukito. He was travelling, looking for work as a street performer. She asks him if they could be friends and at that chance meeting, an unstoppable legend that spans a thousand years starts to unfold and consumes both Misuzu and Yukito.

Air is based on a visual novel. It also has, as I mentioned, an OVA, a 13-episode series, and a 2-episode special. The manga and the OVA focuses on Misuzu's story alone, as compared to the visual novel and the anime which includes the lives of two other girls.

Actually, I'm kinda asking myself why I read the manga. Oh right... I thought that it would give me a more in-depth story as compared to the OVA. I was wrong though. I'll try watching Air (TV) and the special when I have extra time I guess.

If you're looking for a good drama manga, try skipping Air first until you've actually run out of stuff to read. (Try Kanon instead.)
