Earlier today we took a look at the opening for Persona 4 The Golden and tonight up pops a pre-order for a figure of Rise Kujikawa from Wave’s Beach Queen line of figures. The line is dedicated to producing cheap figures of popular characters in bathing suits and while they aren’t exactly the highest quality figures, they are a good choice for fans who want a decent figure of their favorite characters in bathing suits for a fair price.
Rise will run you 3100 Yen at Ami-Ami and should be released in late November.
Wonder Northwest 2012 Pre-Party!
Here’s the deal, if you’re a nerd that lives in Portland then there’s no place you should be this Friday night other than at the Space Room. The Dangerous Kids crew are hosting the official pre-party for Wonder Northwest this year. Hang out, get drunk, and schmooze with your fellow nerds. And if you pre-registered for the con, you can pick up your badge and look cool! Good times will be had by all, and high fives will be given out by me. There will be games, prizes and women. At least, I’m pretty sure women will be there. Yeah, hot ones too. Anyway….here’s the details, y’all!
Wonder Northwest 2012 Pre-party

Closing in on its Japanese release date, Persona 4: The Golden reveals its opening video. Like Persona 3: Portable, this game features a new video with a different song.
The game comes out June 14th on Japanese Vitas, and October 23rd on American Vitas.
Spotted at Taco Bell, classic Atari games! Snag one of these when you buy a kids meal.
Yesterday, NISA stuck up Pre-Order information for one of their newest acquired anime licenses from last year, Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera. They promptly took it down since it might have been revealed too early, but some quick shoppers took some screengrabs of this new limited edition. Now translated to Ghostly Prince Enma-Kun Burning Up, this $70 set features standard fare for NISA releases:
• Premium hardcover slipcase
• 2 Blu-ray, 2 DVD disc set
- Total of 12 episodes
- Approximately 25 mins/episode
- Features original Japanese voice acting
- English subtitles
• Bonus content: Clean openings and endings for each episode (except episode 3 ending)
• Premium box with bonus item: 36-page hardcover art book (approx. 11” x 7”) that explores the show’s outrageous world and characters, with detailed bios, illustrations, concept art, roundtable discussions with cast and crew, and an all-new interview with the original author, Go Nagai himself!
What’s striking is the Bonus Item for early adopters, a “stress relieving cucumber.” As is the creator’s, Go Nagai, taste for over-the-top sex and violence, this little extra gift is fitting.
The page originally stated the release date to be on September 11th, 2012. The staff at NISA were probably waiting to officially reveal this at a press event or convention, so until then, interested parties will have to patiently postpone their pre-orders of the package until a proper presentation of the product and its profligate pickle presents itself, posthaste.

A ridiculous Resident Evil 4 comic I did a few years ago for an anthology called … dear lord, I can’t even remember. It was a while ago! I think this is the first time I’ve posted this comic online in full, so enjoy. I do enjoy making ridiculous Resident Evil 4 comics. :D
Edit: LIFEMETER! The name of the anthology was Lifemeter. :D
This is a thing that needs to be on our blog. Faith Erin Hicks is a fantastic cartoonist and you are making a mistake in not following her tumblr and checking out some of her works like Friends with Boys.
