Nyantype Magazine Vol. 4

Nopy — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 05:44:24 +0000

It’s been a week since I went missing, but I’m back. I had a ton of work to get done so I didn’t have any time to post anything on my blog and only managed a few tweets here and there. Now that everything is done though, it’s time to get back to going through my backlog of magazines. First up is volume 4 of Nyantype Magazine which came out before Christmas. On the cover is the cute angel Icarus from Sora no Otoshimono. You’d think that angels would have more clothing, but I guess they don’t have a dress code where Icarus is from.

We’ve already seen posters of Haruhi and Mikuru in the previous volumes and now it’s time for Yuki fans to rejoice with this sweet poster.

On the reverse side is a Sora no Otoshimono poster. This one looks like it was meant for a dakimakura. Maybe someone will actually make one.

Is it just me or does Kurimu’s leg seem a bit weird? Oh well, I really like Minatsu’s gold anklets and arm band.

I’ve seen a lot of striped pantsu in anime, but I’m pretty sure that this is my first time seeing a striped bra. It’s even in the usual white and blue.

I like cat ears and the tail, but the big paw gloves just look weird to me.

I bet Strike Witches fans would like to have this image printed on a bed sheet rather than on a poster.

I really liked this Love Plus poster. It really has that Christmas feel with the presents, the tree in the background, and how the edges fade to white.

11eyes looked really cool at first, but then it started to look more and more like a fanservice anime. From the looks of this poster, I’m guessing every time the girls got into a fight they’d get some clothes torn off.

Then again, I don’t think anything can have more fanservice than Queen’s Blade.

This poster was cute, Mio and Azusa in santa outfits. That big strawberry in the middle is kinda weird though, makes me wonder why they put it in.

I’m really curious as to how Kanu lost all of her clothing.

This poster reminds me that I still have to finish watching the second season of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu.

I’m really disappointed at the way railgun has turned out. Very few of the episodes had anything to do with the plot, including the beach episode that this poster was based on.

I was a bit surprised to see this Princess Lover poster in here, but then I remembered that this was from before Christmas.

The same goes for this Sacred Blacksmith poster.

More Christmas themed posters. I wish it was Christmas again, I had nothing to worry about back then.

And since the railgun poster wasn’t enough, here’s another obligatory beach/swimsuit poster for your enjoyment.

For anyone that missed it, Kanon is now on Blu-Ray and it looks AWESOME. I think every Kanon fan should get it even if there aren’t any subtitles. After all, a true fan would have memorized all the lines already :P

There was a little Seitokai no Ichizon feature in the magazine that included the characters wearing a bunch of different types of clothing. I thought Kurimu in the red dress with the two pistols was really cute, she’s so small but she’s trying to act so mature.

I had considered watching Omamori Himari when it came out, but I figured that I’d seen enough harem anime to last me a few years and watching more would just get really boring.

A bunch of upcoming (as of December) figures are showcased here. I got my Nanoha nendoroid a couple of days ago so you guys can expect a review sometime next week.

This volume also came with a free Weib Schawrz card. I tend to keep them in the pouches attached to the magazine so I don’t lose them.

On the back of the magazine is an advertisement for Chu-Bra, which in my opinion was a failure of an anime. Anime producers seriously need to come up with better ideas.

One of the extras that came with this magazine was this Love Plus Christmas card. I bet a lot of Love Plus fans would enjoy receiving one of these.

The other extra was this Nanoha Force pencil board.

Personally I liked this side better than the first side. It’s too bad that they put Fate off on the side there.

Overall, I’d say that this was an average volume of Nyantype. Except for the Love Plus poster and the poster of Yuki at the beginning, nothing else really stood out. If Nyantype could obtain more posters like those, they might become more popular than Megami one day.

Megami Magazine Vol. 114

Nopy — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:29:43 +0000

Featured on the cover of volume 114 of Megami Magazine are To Aru Kagaku no Railgun characters biribiri and my favourite, Kuroko. I quite liked the variety of pin-up posters that were included this time around. As usually, I have pics of them below:

Haruka Nogizaka is probably the dream girlfriend for many otaku, mainly because she’s an otaku herself. I still haven’t watch the second season, but I will once all of the blu-rays are out.

This was a bit surprising, a poster with Saki characters, but no Nodoka. I guess all of the posters of her from previous volumes was too much.

I can’t see Shana not being able to jump over that thing. As small as she is, she’s still really athletic.

It looks like feathers are now included as one of the censor materials, including steam, fog, rays of light, and the traditional green leaf.

Sometimes I wonder what angels actually wear. I highly doubt it’d be anything like the clothing from Sora no Otoshimono though.

Some more girls at the beach.

Like I said in a previous post, it seems like Horo is always naked in her pin-up posters. It doesn’t look like Megami Magazine is going to put clothes on her any time soon.

I get a feeling there’s going to be a big wave of ero-anime coming out in the future, and I blame it on the success of Queen’s Blade.

I’d much rather have slice-of-life harem comedies like Seitokai no Ichizon. Has anyone ever noticed that Kurimu’s name sounds like “cream” in English but with a Japanese accent?

Speaking of cream, Charlotte and Sylvia seems to have gotten it all over themselves in this poster.

I only watched the trailer for Sacred Blacksmith. Did anyone finish the series? How did it turn out?

I don’t think anyone can argue that Mio is the moe-moe queen. She looks cute no matter what age she is.

This brings up an interesting concept, mermaid maids.

I never really got into Taishou Yakyuu Musume, probably because I have no interest in baseball.

I want to watch Kiddy Girl-and, but I want to watch Kiddy Grade first.

These girls from NEEDLESS have really short skirts…

Nyankoi was one of those anime that I never really got into.

CANAAN and bunny girls seem to be a common combination.

Does anyone know what Plug is doing here? She’s lying in bed with her underwear off, and she’s holding a can containing some white stuff. I wonder what it is.

Flying lolis! lol

I still haven’t gotten the chance to watch Kowarekake no Orgol. I hear it’s either really sad or happy at the end, depending on how you look at it.

I was actually looking forward to 11eyes before it came out, but the 1st episode was such a disappointment that I decided not to watch it. The girls looked kinda cute though.

I don’t know why they included a Halloween girl when this is the November volume of Megami Magazine, but I like ^.^

I just laughed when I saw this clothing. I don’t care what anyone says, you can’t look like a cool gangster when you have girls from the most moe anime in recent memory on the back of your jacket.

It’d be nice if there was a pin-up poster for this image.

I also wouldn’t mind if each of the girls in Seitokai no Ichizon got their own posters. I’d especially like one of Mafuyu in that pose.

In case you were wondering, this is what the seiyuu for the Seitokai girls look like. It’s nice to see that Mafuyu’s seiyuu is pretty good looking too.

I wasn’t aware that they were releasing a second Higurashi live-action movie until I saw this. I guess I’ll have to find some way to get this one too.

Volume 114 came along with a pencil board. On one side is the image of Rin and Saber from volume 113, which is kinda weird since it would’ve made more sense to include it in that volume instead of this one.

On the other side is a young maid.

As usual, a large poster was also included with this volume.

On the front is the same image that was on the cover of the magazine. This is definitely going on my wall.

On the reverse side is Vivio from Nanoha StrikerS. I think it looks weird having Nanoha and Fate’s clothes spread out like that beside her. It looks like she zapped them to dust and all that’s left of them are their clothes or something.

This was a pretty nice volume of Megami Magazine, it had a large variety of anime and some really good posters. My favourite pin-up poster is the one of Kurimu-chan, and I really liked the To Aru Kagaku no Railgun poster. Overall a good improvement over the previous volume.
