Wave’s Konata & Kanata Preview

December 11, 2008

ls

A preview look of the upcoming figures of Izumi Konata and Izumi Kanata from Lucky Star by Wave. Just a Prototype preview, still unpainted. Price and release date are still undecided. Scan is most likely from the latest issue of Figure Maniacs.

From 2chan.

Although they’re still unpainted, I can see lots of potential in these ^^ Looks like both figures will come with different accessories which you can switch around. I have the feeling that these two will get the Limited release, just like the Hiiragi Sisters ( ^ _ ^ )

Valkyria Chronicles Anime Updated!!

December 11, 2008

valk

Not much updates, other than the change of website Layout and Staff/Story Info. Well, atleast they showed us a glimpse on what the anime will looks like. Judging from the image above, not too shabby at all. I’m actually liking it so far. Looks like it won’t be much different from the game and the quality looks great ^^

Visit the Site Here.

Already played the game, so I can’t wait for this. The anime is scheduled to air in Spring 2009 ( ^ _ ^ )
