Here it is, Genesis Frontier’s booth layout in AFA11. Genesis Frontier (GF) is the distributor of major anime brands such as Bushiroad and Cospa in South-East Asia, and they have lined up a whole bunch of goodies for us to purchase. Many Botans died to bring us this information, so use it wisely and plan your purchase routes ahead of time!

From this map alone, you can see that anime merchandise from the following titles are available:

- Hatsune Miku (technically not an anime, but still…)

- Touhou (Also technically not an anime, but… yeah.)

- Fate/Zero

- Puella Magi Madoka Magica

- Cardfight! Vanguard

- AnoHana

- Shakugan no Shana

- K-ON!

- Angel Beats!

- Steins;Gate

This is a pretty impressive list, especially since the merchandise for Shana, K-On, Vanguard and Madoka Magica are original and new creations that are officially produced under license from their respective license owners. Which means that you can only buy these items for the first time at AFA11 itself and nowhere else, making the items truly exclusive to the event!

So, pad up your wallet in preparation for AFA11 and Genesis Frontier’s merchandise. You will need it.

Remember our last post about Metronome, the group that Bjorn, Sentinel011 and me set up? We were talking about our Anaru and Menma t-shirt back then, but concepts and ideas have since turned into reality. Metronome is proud to present our first product, featuring the delectable Anaru from the anime series AnoHana!

Each t-shirt costs $29.90, and you can place your orders through our Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/metronomist

We have a lot other interesting plans up our sleeves, so please look forward to it!

Suffice to say this is the best Nanoha figure to date.

Few costumes can elicit thoughts as dangerous as those floating in my mind right now. This one, however, is an excellent example of a costume that managed such a feat. 

Introducing the Fate Testarossa Barrier Jacket (loli ver.) now available from Cospatio/Cospa, yours for only 60,900 yen inclusive of tax. Link here.

 Seven flavours of schoolgirl Nana to choose from. 

The webpage for the Live Academy concert goods is up here. Me? I’m only getting the school calendar, seen in the above picture. There is enough fantasy material in the calendar for the most exacting Nana fan out there.

A 17 year old girl should act her age by cosplaying in various school uniforms. Nana-chan gets my intense approval for this series of pictures.

The list of items available to lighten your wallet has been released at the official Nanoha website. Just click on the link and click on “Goods”, and plan your budget from there.

I really want to just go for the whole set and be done with it, but nah, resources are tight this month. Since that’s the case, I will likely go for the Fate Testarossa T-shirt or mug. And at the same time I will pretend I never read the weird engrish sentences on both the Nanoha and Fate T-shirts.

 Love at first sight.

I prayed, I went down on my knees to beg Fate, to give us a plushie of herself, something that we can hug and cuddle when we go to sleep. Finally, my prayers have been answered!  

See? Faith can move mountains, but apparently a hardcore fanaticism for Fate-chan can do more than that. So all of us should love Fate and Nanoha more, by buying more of their merchandise! Then there will be more supply of Fate and Nanoha items and we can all be happy! Ah, the beauty of capitalism…

Here are more details from AmiAmi. The plushie will be arriving on this April, and will retail for 3150 yen. Time to save up!

And yes, I should be getting two of this. One to put on my bed along with Yui and Mugi, and one more for the collection.

 When it rains, it pours… I did not intend to write another post for the next few days, but as a loyal Nana fan, I HAVE to do this. 

This clip is a digest of Nana’s Live Diamond concert that was held at the Dome. The digest includes clips from songs such as Eternal Blaze, DISCOTHEQUE, MARIA&JOKER and Gimmick Game.

I just gotta say that I looped the clip from MARIA&JOKER for an indecent number of times. You will know what I mean when you see it for yourself, at around 2:05 to 2:07. And the legs that Nana showed in Gimmick Game… wow. Just wow.

So, go order the Live Diamond x Fever BD or DVD if you are a Nana fan. Seriously, just go and do it. You will not regret it.

This month’s issue of Comptiq comes with a very nice translucent pencil board, which I have scanned for this post. This month’s issue seems to concentrate on Circus. So if you like Da Capo or if you happen to think Nemu is your wife, you should get it.

Here’s what the magazine and freebies look like:
