Nyantype Magazine Vol. 5
Volume 5 of Nyantype Magazine came out a few months ago, and it looks like they’ve caught Nanoha fever as well judging from the cover. Hopefully they won’t go overboard with it like Megami does.
One of the things that I like about Nyantype over Megami is that they have one pin-up poster that’s 3 sheets long rather than two. Here they have Nanoha and Fate getting ready to film their big movie; I thought it was really cute.
On the other side is Haruhi looking hot with her long hair.
Strike Witches has always provided lots of nice posters, but I hear that the show itself is pretty good so I’m thinking of giving it a go.
Seikon no Qwaser freaked me out when I heard about it and it still does. In this poster they seem to have the girls lined up like cows.
Chu-Bra also sounded a little weird, and I didn’t particularly like the art. Likewise, I wasn’t too thrilled with this poster.
This railgun poster was really nice. How often do you get a chance to see Misaka and Kuroko in maid outfits? I actually like Kuroko’s little pose there.
Unlike Chu-Bra, Omamori Himari provides excellent fanservice without the ugliness. I think it has something to do with the faces, and the fact that there’s actual shading in this poster.
I thought the background in this Sora no Woto poster was nicer than the characters themselves. It might be because Sora no Woto uses such a simple style for their character designs.
One of the better posters in this volume is this Ookami Kakushi poster. Not only are all of the characters drawn to the right proportions, the shading also looks nice, and it has a beautiful background.
I’d love to receive Kurimu in a box of chocolates, she looks so adorable!
This poster from Sora no Otoshimono is pretty cute too. It looks like she was attempting to make some valentines chocolates.
This poster could have used some work. Everything from the character to the bed and the background were all really plain.
While I didn’t really like Ladies vs Butlers, I was really impressed with this poster. The shadows of the leaves were done extremely well.
Rin is looking hot as always. Has anyone gotten the chance to see the FSN movie, and was it any good?
There have been a few posters in Megami where girls are just randomly falling out of the sky, and it looks like Nyantype is following in their footsteps. I wonder how many people would try to catch a naked girl from the sky.
I thought Mai’s face looked really off here, that’s something that Nyantype still needs to work on.
Nyantype also needs to work on the positioning of body parts. If you look at this girl’s hips, they’re pointing mostly forward, so it shouldn’t be possible for her leg to stick up like that.
I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but it looks like they just stopped drawing once they reached his crotch area. I’m glad they did because we all know that Hideyoshi is a trap, and I’m sure readers of a bishoujo magazine wouldn’t appreciate a male part in there.
The magazine did a little feature on Rin Tosaka and had a bunch of information on the anime series that were airing at the time.
This volume came with these three decoration seals that you can stick on to your PSP. Unfortunately, I don’t have one so I’ll have to save them for when I do get one. If I had to choose, I’d go with the Hayate seal.
Some of you may have bought these figures already. I considered getting that Mio figure, but I didn’t like her facial expression in the end so it was another non-buy.
For those of you who actually enjoyed Chu-Bra (is that even possible?), the opening and ending songs are now available on CD.
After looking through the posters in this volume, it looks like Nyantype’s posters are getting better in quality, but they still have a lot of work to do. My biggest concern with the quality is how body parts are drawn disproportionately or in impossible positions. Everyone has a body so I don’t think it’d be too hard to take a look at yourself and compare that to what has been drawn. On the other hand, whoever they hired to draw the Nanoha, Ookami Kakushi, and Ladies vs Butlers posters should get a raise. I thought those three posters were really nicely done.
Hoho, nice.
Maybe I’ll get an overpriced issue down here in Singapore just for ‘them posters.
1Misaka maid! ^^
2fav,… not suprised with the lvl of fanservice. expected.
I really like the Railgun poster!!
3@Valence:
I hope they’re not too overpriced.
@Fabrice:
Yes, there is a lot of fanservice that should be expected.
@phossil:
4I thought it was nice too, but it could’ve used a little improvement.
I definitely agree that Rin and Haruhi are looking hot :)
5Definitely some really beautiful and hot images included.
6Love the Haruhi and Railgun ones especially.
@softz:
I’m glad you think so too.
@Yi:
7Beautiful and hot is a winning combination :)
Hm, some good ones but I can see the flaws you pointed out in some of them clearly. They do need to work on a few things. On the other hand, PSP decals! Do they do this often? I got a PSP not too long ago and I have yet to decorate it up.
8@Persocom:
9They usually include a large poster, this is the first time I’ve seen them include anything for the PSP.
Did you notice there’s a girl in the mirror on the poster that you commented about the awkward positioning of body parts? Haha.
10@Lisa-Chan:
11Yeah, it surprised me when I saw it.
More like, catching a falling naked girl should be bone-crunching…
12Nyantype’s the aspiring Megami, basically. Though I really like the PSP goods, those’d be really cool to have – maybe something besides Nanoha, though. I’m really for Redibato’s style, even though I don’t exactly like either of those characters.
i also like kuroko in that railgun poster, even if she’s not doing her over the top seduction for biribiri ^^
kurimu kawaii as always, kinda wish there was more to the anime ^^;
recently finished redibato, enjoyed its fan service antics a lot but seemed like the ending was sorta weak. and those drills still look too much like giant maggots to me ^^;;;
saw the fsn movie but i’m ashamed to admit it was my first exposure to fsn stuff ^^;;; i own the ps2 version of the original game but have only played like the first 20 min… haven’t seen the anime (wanted to play the game first)… at any rate as you can see i’m not qualified as a true fsn fan to comment on the movie ^^;;; but for what it’s worth, i thought it was awesome!
13@Ningyo:
True, catching a falling girl would hurt a lot.
I never really got into the anime, so those two girls are just random characters to me.
@meronpan:
14Now that you mention it, they do look like giant maggots o.o
I liked the fight scenes in the FSN anime so I’m hoping that the movie has a lot of them :)
I love Railgun poster. Misaka is soo cuuuute
15@Leonia:
16Me too, I think both Misaka and Kuroko are cute.
