Today I received both of the limited boxes for the Chinese PC release of Ao no Kiseki that I had preordered. I was torn on the two of them, so I ended up just biting the bullet and getting them both. Since this is a very picture heavy post, I’ll put everything of the review …

I’m sure people are hyped up for the JDK Band concert. But what if you want to watch the live stream, but you can’t get the Nico Douga points due to your locale? Not a problem! It’s actually not that the card is in the US that is presenting the problem. It’s the fact that …
Picspam Review of the Chinese Ys Seven PC Box Set
While I was sick, my copy of the Ys Seven box from China came in. I didn’t really have the ability to get my good camera like I did with the Zero no Kiseki box, so I promise I’ll try to do better with the Ao no Kiseki box next year. I’ll put in a …
