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.

Nyantype Magazine Vol. 2

Nopy — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 02:41:21 +0000

I had initially thought Nyantype Magazine would be a monthly magazine like Megami, but I guess it’s only being released every few months. That’s not all bad though because that means Nyantype has a wider variety of anime girls to pick from for posters because a volume mght stretch over two seasons.

I really like these posters that ar three sheets long instead of the regular two sheets, especially if they’re dakimakura material (it looks less creepy if you have a poster of a girl on a bed rather than a pillow of a girl on a bed).

These longer posters also allow for full-body shots, like this one of Yuki.

I haven’t gotten around to watching Strike Witches (aka the girls in panties show), but it’s on my list. Hopefully I’ll actually be able to get through my list by the end of December.

Loli material seems to pop up a lot in these kinds of magazines. I wonder how many people buy Nyantype just for posters like this one.

This poster of the Juuden girls is really really tempting. Kinda wish that tail-like thing wasn’t covering up Plug’s oppai.

So which would you prefer, Saki or Nodoka?

There seems to be qute a bit of Horo in both Nyantype and Megami magazine, I wonder how many times she has appeared naked. More importantly, I wonder if anyone is ever going to give her the wolf whistle in Spice and Wolf, that’d be hilarious.

I’ve been falling behind on Canaan since I found out I’d be moving. Does she actually wear that dress in the anime?

No bishoujo magazine would be complete without the obligatory girls in swimsuits at the beach.

Did anyone else notice that although everyone else in this poster is in their school uniforms, the girl at the back is in a pink swimsuit? I guess it’s just more fanservice for the lolicons out there.

An almost upskirt shot, Nyantype Magazine sure likes to tease its readers.

This poster deserves more (ie: a background), it looks like the people at Nyantype Magazine got a bit lazy here, or they just don’t like Valkyria Chronicles.

Here’s some more obligatory girls in swimsuits at the beach. Thinking I should watch Umi Monogatari sometime.

I still think Queen’s Blade should be classified as H-anime rather than regular anime, but hey, it gives another excuse in case your wife/girlfriend catches you watching it.

I liked the cute character designs in Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, but the anime itself was lacking in almost everything else.

Girls playing baseball… not really my thing.

I wonder how many times Eve’s clothing gets shredded up like this. NEEDLESS sure knows how to appeal to its fanbase.

Princess Lover also knows how to appeal to its fans. How often do you catch a princess in the middle of changing.

Yay for Haruhi! I think they were trying to spell “tsundere” here but they forgot the S. I’m also a bit confused as to what the “dream comes” means.

Is it just me or is Mikuru’s waist thinner than her face?

I think Nagato should’ve done more to get out of that endless eight crap.

As if anyone could forget, the Nanoha movie is still to be released. It seems both Megami and Nyantype Magazine are getting fans hyped up for it.

I’m not sure what Sora no Otoshimono is about, but those angels (if they are angels) are wearing some pretty risky clothing there.

Drei >>>>> Cal (even though it’s the same person)

Apparently you can get an exclusive neck pillow in te shape of Yoshika’s thighs only by getting a code from Nyantype Magazine. Well, I won’t be gtting this so I guess whoever wants can use my code.

Lots of beautiful figures here. I didn’t know they were making one of Plug, I might consider getting one depending on how the finished product looks. I’ll also be getting that figure of Nanoha by Alter.

I’m not sure what you would call this, but it’s a plasticy sheet that stuck into the magazine. This side features Nagi, Hinagiku, and Ayumu from Hayate no Gotoku.

On the other side of the sheet are the girls from K-ON.

Also included in the magazine is this little preview of a Nanoha spin-off manga series.

I don’t really understand what’s going on since I can’t read Japanese, but it certainly is revealing…

The main character’s also pretty cool, he has a mini gunblade!

And that’s pretty much it for this volume. I didn’t have any particular favourites in terms of posters since none of them really stood out for me. The only thing that really bothered me was the plain white background for the Valkyria Chronicles poster.

Like the last Megami Magazine, Nyantype has also included a double Nanoha poster. Personally I like the first side better, but I was tempted to put the second side up on my wall (it’s missing Fate):
