Akysys games was kind enough to send some press releases my way late last week about a couple of upcoming releases that have really piqued my interest. The first is a visual horror novel for the DS titled 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors. Up in ’till now, my only experiance with the whole visual novel craze in Japan has been a few of the…er…more mature titles that can be found on the internet. Ahem. Anyway, this upcoming DS game looks to have a pretty interesting plot and I’m definitely interested in giving it a try after watching the trailer.
The second title, which I’ve posted a video of after the break, is Blazing Souls Accelerate for the PSP. The trailer for the game reminds me strongly of Super Robot Taisen OG: Endless Frontier except it’s a strategy RPG. Fans of games like Disgaea and Final Fantasy Tactics should feel right at home based on the early screenshots.

As the first film in Gainax’s “Rebuild of Evangelion” project, Evangelion 1.11 does an excellent job of recreating and updating the original Evangelion TV series for the big screen. Not only the new movie do an admirable job of laying out the shows complex mythology in a fairly coherent manner, but it also manages to make everything feel fresh and new again. This is quite an amazing feat when you think about it, since roughly two thirds of the new movie is a shot for shot recreation of the most iconic scenes from the first six episodes of the original TV series.
Keeping it simple again this week because 1.) it was too hot to go outside and 2.) I just got a fancy new light box that I wanted to try out. I decided to test it using this Lupin the 3rd statue/pen holder I keep on my stereo receiver most to the time. The statue’s got a lot of nooks and crannies on it and I didn’t have to spend a lot of time posing it (cause I’m feelin’ tired and lazy right now :P) So far the test shots are looking pretty good, so hopefully this you folks will soon be able to see a noticeable improvement in the quality of my figure photos. =^_^=
Hmmm…that reminds me…I need to get the backdrops for the light box ironed because they’re all wrinkly. Since ironing falls under the general domain of “woman’s work,” I think I’ll palm that job off on my wife :P

I came across this lovely rendition of “Amazing Grace” while researching anime shows for yesterday’s article. Since it just didn’t feel right to cram in next to something like High School of the disgusting boobs Dead, I decided to make it my pick for this week’s Monday Music. Even if your not religious, I hope this wonderfully poignant rendition adds a touch of hope and wonder to the start of your day…
