Name: Lelouch Lamperouge
Birthday: December 5, 1999 a.t.b.
Blood Type: A
ID Number: 00116604
The Holy Calendar a.t.b. starts 55 years ahead of the Gregorian Calendar, so technically Lelouch was born in 1944. He’d be one middle-aged-going-senior man now.
From Continue Vol.42, a translation of official information regarding the events in Lelouch’s life.
Lelouch’s Lifetime
- 1962 a.t.b/Britannia
Emperor Charles vi [sic] Britannia of the Holy Empire of Britannia makes a promise with his older twin brother V.V.
Knight of Honor, Marianne the Flash, becomes an imperial consort.
Tsubasa Shunraiki & ×××HOLiC Shunmuki OVA
- Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- is getting yet another OVA adaptation like Tsubasa TOKYO REVELATIONS, this time titled “Tsubasa Shunraiki” (ツバサ 春雷記). It will cover the parts of the manga where the characters go to Fai’s country to confront King Ashura, the trip to Kurogane’s Japan, and finally the Dream World of Syaoran vs. Syaoran, It will be a 2-part OVA and the DVDs are to be bundled with limited first press editions of vol. 26 and 27 of the manga, to be released on March 17, 2009, and April 17, 2009, respectively. Both volumes will be 3,700 yen. The production team and cast for the OVA will remain the same as Tsubasa TOKYO REVELATIONS. In the same vein, ×××HOLiC is getting a two-part OVA adaptation, too, titled “×××HOLiC Shunmuki” (×××HOLiC 春夢記), to be bundled with vol. 14 and 15 of the manga, to be released on February 17, 2009, and May 15, 2009.
- I’m very glad to see more of the manga to be animated without the horrid job known as Bee Train. I won’t shell out 4 X 3,700 yen just for 25-minute videos, but I’m definitely looking forward to watching the episodes. I’m not sure what the ×××HOLiC OVA will be about, but hopefully a better adaptation of Kohane’s story.
I find myself discovering new merchandise every week and sometimes so much that I lose track of what to keep in mind and what to get. Hence I’ve started a running list in the sidebar of this blog, but I find too many things to keep straight there, so I’m going to try something new on this site. I’ll make a weekly post about various new things that I find to both remind myself and be of some mini-notification source for other people. The merchandise news will be biased toward cute things and cosplay goods.
Yes, you may ask me for more information and/or help on obtaining stuff.
Anyhow, merchandise finds for the week ending on October 23rd, 2008:
Ranka’s Giant Salamander Phone Plush Doll
- First sold at the Macross Frontier Galaxy Tour event last week, a plush replica of Ranka’s iSlug giant salamander cellphone will be available for sale from Bandai. It measures about 18.5cm long and 8cm thick and will retail for 1,260 yen. The order page is here and it will be released in early December. At this point, I’m not sure if other stores, such as Animate, will carry the item.
- As a massive sucker for cute things and cosplay goods (you’ll hear me mention this again and again), I immediately decided that I must get one of the Ranka cellphone plush dolls. Man, all this time, I thought Ranka’s cellphone was based off of a frog.
11,800 yen for shipping. Dang.

There is so much stuff that I’m having a hard time keeping them straight. I’ve already put away most of the items for storage and I’ll try to write up evaluations of individual things in the coming week or two. I’m too busy with schoolwork to do so now.
Note: The orange is NOT a part of the loot
I’ve moved back to college and my boxes of goods for the month of August have finally arrived.
Ultimate moe, I almost died ;_;
Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer] has come and gone and many major figurine blogs have updated with photos of the event. I’ve browsed through hundreds of photos now and, like always, some of the garage kits that were the best in show are ones that I can never get, since I don’t know how to paint or assemble garage kit figurines. The figurines in this post are ones that I’d definitely considering purchasing if they were ever produced completed (as opposed to unpainted/disassembled). I’m not posting any major company’s merchandise since they have plenty of coverage already.
ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!
I received the Xbox-huge package today in the mail. Thank Haruhi that I didn’t have to pay customs tax on it after I forgot to remind Yuya to not indicate the actual value of the loot on the declaration form. Then again, I was at work, so my tactless brother had to answer the door and he might’ve signed away my firstborn to USPS.
I told a friend to just walk into Animate and buy any Code Geass merchandise he sees fit, and he walked out with 5,025 yen worth of stuff. orz
Two special limited edition sets of Code Geass Fortune went up for preorder on Animate recently. They’re absolutely adorable! *_*
Both sets are limited to Animate and events. They are 1,050 yen (~$9.72) per set of three and due to be released in early August.
For sale are several “Geass Chara Fortunes” for $5 each.
Each mini-figurine comes with a fortune-telling slip, hence “chara fortune”.
Lloyd and Euphemia are already taken. All Chara Fortunes are new and unopened.
I prefer PayPal for payment and shipping is $2 for no matter how many Chara Fortunes you buy. Tell me which ones you’d like by the item’s name and number (e.g. 2. Cornelia) and leave me an e-mail address to reach you by so that I can give you my PayPal address.
Available:
1. Suzaku (Military Uniform ver.) SOLD
2. Cornelia SOLD
3. Suzaku (School Uniform ver.) SOLD
4. Jeremiah (O…Oraaaange!) SOLD
5. Lelouch (Zero Uniform ver.) SOLD

The best offering that I’ve seen yet,
but ball-joints scare me after staring them for a while.

I break through to the shining tomorrow
My sweaty chest trembles
Even if I overreach myself, I want to draw closer
I’ll clear the high hurdle
This song is more correctly known as the “Stage 24 & 25 Theme Song”.
The Wings in My Eyes
Vocals: access
I won’t say where I feel hurt to anyone
My hurrying heart hid my dreams
I gaze at you with fragile eyes
