I ordered one too, but it was a kickstarter project.

Who will you play with?

Myself :komari: I'm still learning the poems and what not... it's hard lol. 

Did you get the Hiragana Asobi Karuta set? I saw that one too late and I wasn't able to purchase it ://

Haha! I'll be playing with myself too!

Yes, that's the one. Are these different in some way? To be honest I don't really know much about Karuta, but since I'm learning Japanese I thought it might help.

Yeah they are different, IIRC. The Hiragana Asobi Karuta set is to help you learn Japanese and karuta but doesn't use the Hyakunin Isshu. While the set I bought doesn't bother to teach you things, you have to do that on your own. It uses the Hyakunin Isshu and is used in tournaments. The reason I bought mine was because Chihayafuru :sachi: I also enjoy it since I get to learn more Japanese history which I'm doing right now anyways. Though my Japanese isn't good enough yet to really understand a whole lot (at least I get some) :vinty: Honestly I would've liked to pick up both and use the Hiragana Asobi Karuta for now but oh well.

Yo in regards to T-shirts off of amiami the sizes are Japanese I'm assuming? Not international/US? 

From personal experience buying cloth from Japan is that you know your exact sizes in centimeters and then you look around after something similar. It is different depending on what manufacturer and company you are buying from too. A Totoro shirt could be different depending on who produced it. But overall it was decent sizing compared to Europe (Sweden). if you are medium a large was good in my case and I haven't had any problems ordering a medium even though it was a bit tight.  

So my suggestion would be order one size larger than what you wear today. But I can't answer what the US standard is sadly.

Thanks I was thinking of just going one size larger as well, looks like I will try that first!

Picked up Buck-Tick's 13kai wa Gekkou on CD last week which was pretty exciting for me, it being one of my favourite albums ever. I've also just bought Memento Mori by the same group, which I'm hoping should be here in a few days cos I'm buying it off a friend of mine (also a Brit).

Got my Re:zero volume 1 in the mail yesterday (sorry for potato quality pic). I haven't watched the anime for this, so I'm going in completely blind. Some people say it's amazing, others say it's absolute shit. I wonder where I'll stand.

Bought Rizuberuru no Ma, the whole series of 4 volumes. Expecting it to be grand and dashing like Muramasa, but in comparison it's a lot more bubbly and warm.
Man if only there were these kinds of things (VN's) sold on shelves in North America. If I didn't know I'd probably think it was some stylized shoujo mecha anime series. Which isn't the far from the truth, though the story is more storybook/fantasy than shoujo.

After having been delayed for months, it is FINALLY here. Shiro and others from No Game No Life!

I usually don't do this, but when it concerns Shiro there seems to be a very important factor that needs to be checked. So here it is.

 

Yes, they are the correct panties.

Every time I get a game I end up looking at mandarake and end up buying a new game, this time: Ima Sugu Onii-chan ni Imouto da tte Iitai! May my wallet rest in peace. 

(although it only costed 2000 yen...)
