Sunday Spotlight: Romy’s Video Game Fan Art

September 27, 2015 by Anne

Happy Sunday, and welcome to the first of what I imagine will be many Sunday Spotlights featuring awesome artists! There are a ton of artists drawing amazing video game fan art, to be sure, but how many of them are drawing iconic otome game characters using selfie sticks? I’m pretty sure the only person who … Read moreSunday Spotlight: Romy’s Video Game Fan Art

Japan Envy: Otomate Garden Amnesia Café

September 25, 2015 by Anne

I’m a bit late to this one because I totally missed that Otomate now has their own café! Otomate Garden, the official café for all Otomate otome game collaborations, apparently opened earlier this year in Ikebukuro last month and I completely missed the announcement. Well, it just so happens that the café’s theme for the month of September is Amnesia!

Better known as Amnesia: Memories in English, this café theme comes at a great time since the English version just came out at the end of August… Though most of us appreciating the English version of the game will sadly never have the chance to attend the café in person! At least we can drool over the menu and merchandise…

Kyoukai no Shirayuki Character Profiles and Comments Translated

March 8, 2016September 24, 2015 by Anne

I’ve been beside myself waiting for new information on Kinako’s otome game, Kyoukai no Shirayuki, ever since it was announced last month. The dark fantasy otome game features Kinako’s striking illustrations and has an intriguing Snow White motif… coupled with a large number of prominently-displayed pomegranates. After a long month’s wait, new information on the characters and plot has been unveiled in the latest issue of B’s Log, which I’ll be going over in detail in this post. Let’s see what’s in store in the dark world of Kyoukai no Shirayuki…

Sunday Spotlight: Pinkcheeks Toy Photography

September 21, 2015September 20, 2015 by Anne

I can hardly believe it, but it’s been nearly two years since I started buying figures! While Nendoroids based on my favorite anime and video game characters have largely been my poison of choice, I’ve had to cut back on my purchases simply because of how darn expensive they can get. But while I can’t … Read moreSunday Spotlight: Pinkcheeks Toy Photography

Japan Envy: Dohton Bori x Show By Rock!!

September 19, 2015September 19, 2015 by Anne

Dohton Bori x Show By Rock collaboration

Let me tell you, I can’t get enough Show By Rock!!. I wrote about one Show By Rock!! café collaboration earlier this year, but this time around, the adorable app/anime series is teaming up with an entirely different venue: Dohton Bori. The okonomiyaki chain will be offering an exclusive Show By Rock!! menu through November 8th, and they’ve even decked out the members of Plasmagica and Shingancrimsonz in appropriate attire. The menu doesn’t look too shabby, either:

Makura no Danshi Otome Game Coming to Mobile Phones

September 18, 2015September 18, 2015 by Anne

I’m sorry to say, but this isn’t an announcement about a new kitten book featuring cute anime boys (though that would be amazing). Rather, this season’s crazy otome anime Makura no Danshi will be getting its very own romance simulation game! Aside from the fact that it will be for both iOS and Android and is coming out … Read moreMakura no Danshi Otome Game Coming to Mobile Phones
