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.
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.
UPDATE: Popo took down the video. Siliconera has a link.
Pokemon Black Version 2 and White Version 2 gets a new animated promotional video that covers some events in the upcoming game, as well as open up some new questions. The game comes to the Nintendo DS later this year.

As revealed at the premiere for Gundam Unicorn Vol. 5, the Gundam Unicorn OVA series is getting the addition of a Part 7. The anime based on a series of light novels was originally planned to have just six parts.
As of now, Part 6 will not be complete until Spring 2013.
A couple of days ago there was news that one of my favorite Idolm@sters was coming up for order. We didn’t know for sure or not if Hibiki would be an exclusive but sadly, yes, yes she is. Not only is she an exclusive but she is also joined in exclusivity by another one of the girls in Takane. They both have an August release and unfortunately you are going to have to go through a proxy like Mioboutique to get either of them. This also unfortunately means payment up front so be prepared to dish out around 10k yen each for the figures.
Preorders for Nendoroid and Figma models of Hibiki Tachibana from Senki Zesshou Symphogear are open on the local haunts. The cool thing about these two figures though is the inclusion of Hibiki’s crazy/berserk face. These two can be picked up from sites like amiami and Hobbylink Japan, with the codes FIG-MOE-5703 and FIG-MOE-5704 respectively. The figures will be out in late September.
