About "Evangelion Shin Gekijyoban: Ha"

Hello there!
Today's theme is "Evangelion Shin Gekijyoban: Ha", the latest DVD of Evangelion series released the end of last month in Japan.

I just finished watching it and felt details are depicted compared to its TV version.

Leaving behind mysteries in the first part and depicted the main characters' daily episodes make the last part more cruel. The scene put on "Kyou no Hi wa Sayounara" made me feel surreal. The contrast between the music and the scene increases cruelty.

Also there are two climactic scenes in this movie, so the first point could get forgotten.
Although the first point is the runaway accident of EVA-03, the story following the accident is very simple.

Since some of you haven't watched this movie yet, I don't describe details now, but it is worth watching and far more interesting than the first movie.
I'm sure we can enjoy the next installation of the movie "Evangerion Shin Gekijyoban: Q Quickening"!

By the way, Asuka's figure wearing the Test Plug Suit in the runaway accident of EVA-03 will be released on October in Japan.
We are updating the details soon on our online store. Come and see them!

I'm sure we can enjoy the next installation of the movie "Evangerion Shin Gekijyoban: Q Quickening"!

"Pedestrian Paradise" to reopen in Akihabara this summer

Hi there!
Today we will provide a good news about Akihabara.
It is reported that Akihabara's "Pedestrian Paradise" (certain roads closed to vehicle traffic by police) will reopen!

This popular tradition was suspended in June 2008 when a hit-and-run and stabbing spree left seven dead. But recently visitors and tourists there have been increasing and they are flooding into the sidewalks. This situation caused some traffic problems, so people has been asking reopening of the pedestrian paradise.

It will again start in the middle of July, and soon after that many cosplayers and maids will come back there! Of course, initially policemen would go on patrol...
When taking pictures, we will show them for you!

By the way, we have a lot of new products in stock. Please come and find them!
