Wave announced today the addition of two PVC figures to their recently formed Dreamtech lineup: a 1/8 scale "neko-nyan dance" version Choko from Chokotto Sister and a 1/6 scale bikini version Tama-nee from To Heart 2, both due out in September. The Tama-nee sculpt is by Maeda Toshiki of Works Sapporo, with Choko sculpting duty by Arakawa Hiroshi (Amiami search). Not the most exceptional sculpting talent, though not the worst either; the seemingly removable dress on Choko and the hair sculpt and recumbent pose on Tama-nee seem to be the charm points of the respective kits, certainly enough for fans of the characters to justify purchase but perhaps not for the casual consumer. Here's hoping that Dreamtech moves more toward the example of their July release Lucy Maria Misora in the future... (no more)

I’ve been really out of it lately (and the fact that I’ve been busy dispensing out fanfiction hasn’t helped) but I figure I’d better write something to prove (to myself) that I’m not dead. When I only bother to translate a few parts of an episode, I can tell my enthusiasm is really lost. Well, [...]

Chokotto Sister has degenerated into a slideshow of fanservice shots loosely held together by a simple storyline. To sum it up, episode 5 was racy content provided as pure fanservice under the excuse of Choco buying a bra. Highlight of the episode was Ashirai san going at it again with Miss Manager of the house.

Judging the way things are going, there is probably not going to be any main plot in the running of this show. Despite that, however, this episode entertains with generous helpings of fanservice, and to throw in the mix, additional relationships and slice of life scenes. In these animes, women fall for men very easily, and [...]

It would be good if something interesting happened soon, such as a kidnapping. However, as this series is meant to be about a boy and his new younger [...]
