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.

Three months later than usual, here’s Megami Magazine Vol. 113 featuring Rin Tosaka and Saber on the front  cover. Its been a while since I’ve been able to flip through a Megami Magazine so this was like a blast from the past for me.

Although this was from a while ago, I don’t think K-ON will be going away anytime soon.

I know Mio, Yui, and Azusa are the three most popular girls of K-ON, but I’d still like to see more of my favourite character, Mugi.

Did anyone actually enjoy the Princess Lover anime?

I swear that almost every poster of Horo has her naked, but she’s wearing clothes all of the time in the anime.

Yay for bikinis!

And anime with bikinis!

As much as I liked the beginning of CANAAN, it just fell off a cliff somewhere in the middle, but at least we got some bunny girls out of it.

Fight! Ippatsu Juuden-chan was probably one of the more ecchi anime out there last season, it’s no surprise that the Juuden-chan posters are so suggestive…

It feels like so long ago that Saki aired, so seeing this poster kinda surprised me.

I thought this one was pretty cool. I like the girl in the blue suit.

After so long, I still can’t believe what happened at the end of Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~, it was so sad. Well, at least it looks like Mio and Elen are enjoying themselves though.

I’ve never heard of Mahou Tsuka wa Yuyu Shiki Otome before, but Ru-ru Kisaragi and Yu-yu Mashiro look pretty cute.

What better way to sell anime cards than to make your own anime? I still have to catch up with Weiss Survive, but I don’t remember the episodes being all that long.

I’m pretty sure now that Kanokon is really an H-anime disguised as a regular anime (kinda like Queen’s Blade), especially after having seen the screenshots of the OVA.

Did anyone watch all of GA? I remember seeing the first episode and thought it was too childish, does it get any better or is it pretty much the same throughout the series?

Aika Zero = panty-shot heaven? It seems all the Megami Magazine posters of it involve panty shots.

Still waiting for Kowarekake no Orgol to be released. It feels like its been in production forever.

Just a reminder for anyone looking forward to Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, it comes out on Jan. 23 this year.

These pages sure do bring back memories. I think I only watched the first four episodes of Endless Eight. There’s only so much time a person can waste just to see their favourite characters in different clothing.

After seeing these pages, I remembered that the opening song for the Nadeko Snake arc in Bakemonogatari should be out now, then I find out that its been delayed. Looks like I’ll have to wait until the end of the month to get the full version of Renai Circulation by Kana Hanazawa.

A look at some new figures. Unfortunately, it was impossible for me to preorder the Mio nendoroid in time, and I don’t have enough money or room for a collection of Touhou figures.

As if having their own anime and posters wasn’t enough, Weib Schwarz is still putting a bunch of ads at the back of Megami Magazines.

If anyone liked Princess Lover, the DVDs are already coming out for them.

This volume came with a large poster. On one side is Nanoha from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st. As much as I like Nanoha, I personally think that Megami has been overloaded with Nanoha material over the past year.

On the other side is the same image of Rin and Saber that was on the cover of the magazine.

I like a few of the posters in this volume, like the K-ON ones and the “deep one” poster, but overall I didn’t think they were all that great. Sure, there were a lot of girls in bikinis, which is true for every Megami Magazine, but it just felt like something was missing. Maybe it was just some of the poses or backgrounds could have been done better. I’m also not too excited about some of the childish stuff like GA and Kanamemo; it’s Megami (goddess) Magazine after all, they should just stick to what they’re good at: bishoujo anime characters.

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):

This volume of Megami Magazine is probably one of the thicker ones that I’ve gotten considering all the freebies that came with it. But as always, lets take a look at the posters first :)

When you’ve got an anime with girls that are always running (or swimming) around in very revealing swimwear, you know they’re going to show up in Megami Magazine sooner or later. That’s certainly the case with Umi Monogatari.

This is a really reall adorable poster of Azu-nyan ^.^ I wish there was a bigger version somewhere.

Even if the girls from an anime aren’t normally in swimwear, Megami Magazine does the favour of putting them in some for us. Canaan looks pretty confused though, I guess anyone would be if they were suddenly put in a swimsuit and found themselves on a beach.

The chair is becoming even worse of an enemy than steam and fog.

Personally, I don’t like it when characters are drawn with red circles on their cheeks, it just looks weird to me. Does anyone else think so too?

On the other hand, red blush doesn’t bother me at all.

I haven’t seen Sengoku Basara, but maybe I should watch it. The character designs certainly look interesting.

When a figure of Plug comes out, I hope it’s in this position ^.^

Plug in a bathtub would be nice too.

Sometimes you have to wonder what the girls in these posters are doing. What kind of situation would involve 3 nearly-naked girls in the bathroom with two girls seemingly feeling up the third.

I think the only reason Ein and Zwei in Phantom ~Requiem For The Phantom~ were pretending to be high school students was so they could show some schoolgirls in the anime. Of coure, now we get to see Drei as a shoolgirl too.

Basquash is also one of those anime I haven’t gotten arond to.

Lolis in swimsuits anyone?

Or maybe you prefer no swimsuits at all.

I haven’t seen any new Yami to Boushi no Hon no Tabibito stuff in a long time. That anime had some good character designs too.

I didn’t really like Kurokami, but with posters like this, it can’t be all bad.

I actually liked the animation in GA, but the anime itself bored me out of my mind. It seems more like something kids would watch.

The girl on the left has a really nice figure for someone so short…

Another Kowarekake no Orgol poster.

Although the posters are the main selling point of Megami Magazine, there was some nice artwork in the magazine itself too. I just love Haruhi in that dress, and look, there are DVD boxsets for Kanokon and Zero no Tsukaima now.

Still waiting for the Nanoha movie to come out, it’s going to be so good!

Just had to show this, love the cat ears and tail.

 Here’s the adorable pic of Azu-nyan again, this time alongside her seiyuu, who’s also pretty cute.

I wonder how many girls change rooms/locker rooms have been shown in this magazine over the years.

 Can’t wait for To Aru Kagaku no Railgun to start up, then I get to see more of Kuroko <3

This page really shocked me, mainly because it’s not animated! But just because it’s not animated doesn’t mean it’s not good, I know I’d like to have my desserts brought to me on a naked girl.

All of these Weib Schwrz ads are starting to make me want to get a deck, I guess ads really do work.

For any other Umineko fans out there, the first DVD will be out this october.

This volume had quite a few freebies that came along with it.

First off is a Nanoha drama CD. I still haven’t listened to it, but I probably wouldn’t understand anything since I don’t know Japanese.

The next freebie was a Weib Schwarz card based on the first Nanoha movie.

There’s also a CD Jacket included so you don’t have to label your new Nanoha CD.

This also came with the magazine. I think the artwork on the cover looks a bit weird, but the actual comic itself is drawn pretty well.

And of course, there’s the large poster that comes with most Megami Magazine volumes. This time around both sides are from Nanoha. The first side is for the movie, and the other side is for the new Nanoha game.

I really liked this volume of Megami Magazine, it had quite a bit of Nanoha stuff which is always welcome. Out of all the posters, I’d have to say that Azu-nyan was my favourite, hopeflly there will be more of her in the future.

There were lots of yummy posters in this volume of Megami Magazine, and some nice extras too. As always, here’s a look at what posters they have in this volume:

First up is the wise wolf Horo in an enticing pose on the bed. Personally, I think the colour of her ears and tail make her look more like a fox than a wolf.

Not sure what anime this is from.

Saki posters are always nice to look at.

Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo posters are also welcome any time. Having the girls in chinese dresses is a plus.

Canaan looks pretty good, but I still have no clue what’s going on.

I’m sure lolicons would enjoy this anime. It was too “cute” for me.

I like the girl with the leaf bikini, the the one to the right of her is freaking scary.

Princess Lover = harem + fanservice, a combination I’m starting to grow tired of in anime, but it makes for nice posters like this one.

It’s almost as if she’s deliberately showing everyone her panties. Seriously, how many people actually bend over like that to take a drink of water.

What I don’t get about Umi Monogatari is if these people live in the ocean, why do they have feet, wouldn’t it make more sense to have flippers? Anyways, its got nice artwork and I like the character designs ^.^

Anyone with a megane fetish would probably like this poster.

I didn’t think Rika was the type to wear ichigo panties, she’s always so serious.

This is probably the most risqué picture I’ve seen in Megami Magazine. You can actually see part of Plug’s nipple >.>

Poor Zwei, little does he know that the two women that he cares for the most have dumped him for each other.

I like the older version of Mashiro, but the loli version is kinda cute too.

Here’s more loli material in the form of a blue-haired robot.

 I was quiet surprised at how much they decided to expose in this  volume (the Juuden-chan and Spice and Wolf posters), but hey, with the new Nyantype Magazine out they’ve got to step up the service. I guess we’ll be expecting some more skin in the future.

Some of the images for upcoming (or I guess past) DVD releases and newer series were also really nice.

More Tayutama on Blu-Ray and DVD.

The first Phantom DVD is also out now.

I’d like to see someone cosplay as Plug from Fight! Ippatsu Juuden-chan just to see what they’d look like in that suit.

I still haven’t gotten around to watching Hayate no Gotoku 2. It looks like I’ll have to watch it all in one go like with the first one.

I haven’t seen anything on Kanokon for a while. Chizuru looks the same as always.

Lelouch certainly did manage to obtain an impressive harem.

Girls, magic, and panties; that should sum up Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou pretty well.

Needless is the perfect anime for adolescent boys. It’s got cool heroes, some fight scenes, and bouncing boobs galore.

Kara no Kyoukai is another one of those anime that I still haven’t gotten around to watching.

This little plush toy of Horo really creeps me out. Is this even on anyone’s want list?

One of the extras that came in the volume was this K-ON pencil board. Unfortunately mine’s stuck to the magazine and I’m afraid I might rip out some pages if I try to pull it out.

On the other side of the pencil board is the evangelion image from the front cover.

The other extra that I got was this little K-ON booklet. Here’s a little peek at the contents:

I didn’t know the K-ON club had so many releases already. I wonder if any of these CDs are still available.

That’s it for this volume of Megami Magazine. I thought there was a noticeable change in this one compared to previous volumes. The posters seemed more fanservicey than usual, and there was a pencil board AND booklet included with the magazine (it’s usually one or the other). Hopefully there will be even more extras in the future ^.^
