Mistakes of Youth: The Blog (Powered by EXCELLENCE!)

I  hope all the good men at the 芙蓉楓至上主義 did the same thing some 13 or so hours ago.

Got a better cake this time. Next year I’ll buy her a teddy bear.

Thanks Misuzu!

Actutally taken 2 days ago, because at the moment I’m in New York (well, not really, but I will be when this post goes up.) Celebrated early since I was going to be away on the 10th. We did more than eat cake :3

Not just the usual LAWLS LOOK WHAT WEIRD THING I BOUGHT post. This is a proper review, somewhat influenced by Shingo’s recent review.

Anime dakimakura covers are truly wondrous things. They provide for us, the lonely otaku, companionship in the form of our favourite characters. I was sucked into these things about a year ago, when I bought my first dakimakura cover of Kaede Fuyou. The cover was a freebie that came with the game Really? Really! if you had bought it at a certain store, and featured Kaede on a bed with her clothes scattered and her bra pulled up, revealing a cute pair of breasts. I got it off Yahoo auctions for about 5000 yen. Since then, I’ve been addicted. I don’t have quite as much as certain individuals out there (the right people will know who I’m referring to) but my collection of waifu is steadily growing, with this second Kaede dakimakura being the newest member in the family.

…and I don’t really know what to make of it. I think I just can’t really grasp the fact that it ended. The ending is mostly good, but I’m unsure of the events that happen after the final fight. My Japanese is shaky, so I’m going to wait for subs before I pass judgment.

But, overall, fucking awesome series. I guess me hyping this thing to hell back in summer 2006 wasn’t all that off the mark.

It is Kaede’s turn in Saimoe today. She seems to be doing well thus far, but she needs your support!
