Yes, my sweet. Yes, my sweetest. I wanna get back Where you were.

There’s a new Nadesico pachinker game that opened up in Akiba, and as such there’s been something of a Nadesico advertising blitz going around. Last time I was there with Nocturnesb there was a giant trunk driving around with Yurika’s and Ruri’s faces plastered on it, and today there was a cute woman outside of the station dressed as a Nerval employee handing out… what I assume is a fan.
Then, while looking for the Saki taco truck (it wasn’t there, guess it only appears on weekends) I ran into a guy handing out Nadesico tissues. A Nadesico DOUBLE DOSE. Man, I am sure getting to burning.
In my attempt to not spend any money at all with Comic Market approaching, I ended up buying things. Cheap things that I wouldn’t find this cheap ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, but still. I need my doujinshi. I haven’t even paid for a Summer Wars ticket, yet!
These deals were too good to pass up, though.
Remember that Gundam Movie II program I bought at Anime Boston years ago? That was $25. I found Movie III’s program for a cool 105 yen.
Man, 105 yen sure does get you some awesome things! BUT WAIT—!
Excuse me while I fanboy for a bit but, IT CAME WITH THE FUCKING TICKET STUB. I love you, Japan. Japan is the best country. Long live Japan. All hail Japan.
Anyways, I also found an old issue of Megami I wanted.
While it may not seem like anything of note from the cover, the insides reveal a most dangerous secret.
Been lookin’ for this for months. Haduki-tan~~
Also, older Megami issues sure had no problem about showing nipples and outright porn. Well, not so much in the posters (though they do have the odd exposed nipple here and there) but damn, in this issue, there was a whole section devoted to ero anime, complete with screencaps!
Damn.
And now, lastly, (even though I bought this first) I found this shirt for 1500 yen. The more popular yukkuri shirts were around 2500 yen, but this one was cheap and probably the best ever.
I’m a tool. I know. Whatever.
That’s it. I’ll see you back Where You Were, as they say in that awesome Gundam song.

New Nadesico merch? And I’m not there? ZETSUBOU SHITAAAA~

I….didn’t even know Nadesico was still relevant in Japan. The fact they do stuff like that when there’s no second season in sight is almost a tease.

Nadesico!!!!!!!!

It’s comments like this which suddenly make me realise that I’ve not bought/seen an issue of Megami since 2004 – whilst I’d heard they’d toned the content down, I hadn’t realised to what scale they’d done so.
Actually, I flicked through a couple of the issues I’ve got easy access to (all pre-Moonphase, though one of them had the first details of the first series of Nanoha), and indeed, they’ve all got that ero-anime (and eroge) section in them, full of really rather explicit images. Not so much nipples in the posters, though.

Nadesico is always relevant.

Oh. Nadesico.
I suppose the pachinko game tells a vital part of the Nadesico story, unavailable anywhere else. Maybe in morse code, as the balls bounce among the pegs.

The juxtaposition of the thumbs up next to the yukkuris on the shirt makes the latter that much more awesome.

>older Megami issues sure had no problem about showing nipples and outright porn
It’s sad how prudish Japan has gotten over the past couple decades.
Remember back when Esper Mami aired at 7PM?
And Lemon Angel was on over-the-air TV?
Those were the days.

I always thought the lyrics were “Yes my sweet, Yes my sweet ass!”…
