Quick loot and small reviews

Happy belated new year. I intended to make posts for Christmas and New year but I have been quite busy and I wasn’t sure about what to put, so my apologize.
My long awaited artbooks are finally here. Well I have been waiting for this shipment since last month, but as the 100 masters of Bishojo painting was first delayed, then out of stock, I couldn’t receive it in time before I leave my home for 2 weeks. But now that I’m back, I can get it. It’s a rather small loot compared to the madness I unleashed for C77 but this will be seen in time. For now, it’s just small reviews as these artbooks have already been reviewed and I share the same sentiment as their reviewers.

Review: Pixiv Fantasia III

Released last month, Pixiv Fantasia III ( ISBN: 978-4047261549 ) is the third installment in the series. The first two though didn’t have any publication and were only distributed on the Internet. As the name suggest, it’s a book with fantasy themed illustrations, ranging from humans to mythical beasts, to heaven from hell. I must say that this artbook is a departure from my usual collection, meaning bishoujo, moe… Quite a lot of new artists are featured, but none really stroke me so I will skip that part; I just focused a little bit more on my favorite illustration. At the end of the review, I will talk about their upcoming artbook, Pixiv Girls Collection 2010 which I hope will redeem the 2 previous Pixiv book I got.

Review: Misakura Nankotsu’s Shoujo Planetarium

Misakura Nankotsu is an artist I’m not too familiar with. I didn’t see a lot of artwork from him/her, before the recent scans. On the 1st of July, 2 artbooks were released, Last Resort (ISBN: 978-4-86252-653-3) and Shoujo Planetarium ( ISBN: 978-4-7577-5010-4 ).I don’t want to comment on the content of Last Resort, but be warned if you didn’t see them yet that it contains hentai, futanari and I find it rather gross, so I didn’t get the artbook. Shoujo Planetarium, is safer, though it features some pantsu shot and sexy illustrations. I decided to review it by photo, and I will comment it, and some color issue and the format of these review at the end of the article.

C76 Loot

lootIt’s finally here, after one week of shipment… Did I say I hate customs? It was stuck at their office because they didn’t have the invoice. Hopefully, I got taxes for cultural goods, which is less expensive than usual VAT.

Anyway, the loot is quite good, and some of these are already flying around on the Internet. There are other freebies from previous Comiket as well, for Kantoku, Rei, some Tinkle goods which was released for some event, and finally, K-books 15th anniversary artbook.

PIxiv Official Book 2009

Here it’s, the 1kg, 2cm thick artbook from Pixiv, and I guess anticipated by artbook collector. I was expecting the same format as the Pixiv Girls Collection, but it’s not, and in fact, I’m a little bit dissapointed.
