Two of my pre-orders arrived this month. The extra copies of the magazine are for a friend and my brother. K-ON! Azusa 1/8 Scale PVC Figure by ALTER Dengeki G’s Magazine August 2010 with Nendo Petite Tenshi as a bonus My copy of Starcraft II: Coll...

Fantasy/adventure series has long since been one of my favorites to watch. Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu (The Legend of the Legendary Heroes) first caught my attention with its title that suggests a grand story waiting to be told. However, the firs...

After watching Sora no Woto, I’m always ready and waiting for more Anime no Chikara projects. Sure it takes more work to craft an original story, but their latest project titled Occult Academy demonstrates that it is well worth the effort. I find it...

HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD is without a doubt the most violent action anime series this season. The first episode already showcases gruesome carnage (most of it offscreen) as zombies kill students who then become zombies themselves. The story follows a...

Despite being biased against anime adapted from dating sims, I actually somewhat liked Amagami SS. There’s none of your typical fan service, nor a clueless male protagonist unintentionally building up a harem. This series has more of a KimiKiss feel...

All my loot from Anime Expo this year were purchased from the MangaGamer booths. The AX convention bag came with the program guide, a starter deck for Magic: the Gathering, and various advertisement cards....

Saturday felt like it was really packed with people. I guess all the 1-day pass holders chose Saturday to attend? Upon seeing some of the lines for certain panels/autograph sessions, I turned around and walked away.   MELL Panel & Autograph Se...

Since I wasn’t really interested in the morning panels, I wandered around the Exhibit Hall right when it opened.   Exhibit Hall I mostly stayed around the MangaGamer booths the entire time since they were the only ones offering sketches from v...

As I would expect from a slice of life anime based on a 4-panel, the characters have remained the same for the most part. The series focuses on the unique quirks that each character has and plays with them to create amusing interactions amongst the...

Level-5 teams up with Studio Ghibli to bring us Ni no Kuni (The Another World), a jRPG in development for the Nintendo DS and PS3. After Level-5′s somewhat disappointing White Knight Chronicles, I have high hopes for this game. From what I’ve seen s...

If you are watching Durarara!!, then you have probably seen the Dollars BBS that Mikado and other members post on. Like many others before me, I became interested in actually recreating the site. The first task was to make the login page. A friend f...

Is it just me, or does there seem to be more anime series airing every season? Anyways, here’s a last minute preview of the Summer 2010 anime season. These are only the new series for the season. Movies, OVAs, and sequels are not included. Title:...

With Anime Expo just around the corner, many first-time attendees might be deciding what to bring to get autographed. I was in the same situation last year when I finally decided to bring art books specific to the works that each guest was known for...

Last week (6/3/2010) marked the first birthday for Project Saber, but I was unable to make a post due to being on vacation. Now that I’m back, let’s take a closer look at the past year of this blog. Besides the original intent expressed in my very f...

The only two things I purchased this year at Fanime were a Rider nendo from the Dealer’s Hall and a Kidrobot Munny from the Charity Auction that was autographed/sketched on by the GAINAX staff in Japan. So the story behind this Munny is that they to...

My coverage of Fanime 2010 consists of just the Dealer’s Hall since that’s where I was most of the time due to having to stand watch over our Figure Haven booth. I did wander the Artist Alley for a bit and participated in the Charity Auction, but th...

Well, Fanime officially opens tomorrow and we’re essentially done setting up our humble booth space. The empty shelves and part of the table will be filled tomorrow with scaled figures, nendos, and figmas put on display. Please come visit us at Boot...

After looking at the latest NIS America email, I found out that Yui Horie (Minori Kushieda from Toradora!) and Eri Kitamura (Ami Kawashima from Toradora!) were attending Anime Expo this year as Guests of Honor. Here’s a quick summary about them from...

I take back what I said during Winter’s midseason impressions about there not being many anime series this Spring. I’m keeping up with just about every anime this season and the overall quality so far is more than satisfying. Angel Beats! – My favor...

If you visited Project Saber this morning you would have seen that it contained no posts or comments. Apparently the “wp_posts” table in the SQL database for this blog crashed while I was sleeping. After a bit of research, I found out this happens w...

It has been almost a year since I started Project Saber and plans were in motion to switch to a new theme on its anniversary. However, I was in the mood so I prematurely changed the theme to Belle along with adding some modifications of my own. This...

Besides the Dealer’s Hall with its countless goods for sale, why should you attend this year’s Anime Expo? I was reluctant at first to head down to Los Angeles just to meet Yuu Asakawa (seiyuu for Rider in Fate/stay night), but with the announcement...
