Moeyo's Best of V-Zone 2013

Gushing, flowing praise

The best PVC breasts and butts of the year are one thing--one can almost explain away a curvaceous and scantily clad maiden to a potential mate and live to tell the tale.  The ten figures that make up Moeyo's Best of V-Zone 2013, however, take a certain kind of dedication to the pursuit of otakudom and complete abandonment of any non-ecchi pretenses.  Like War Emblem or Charismatic winning two of the three Triple Crown races, we find one figure appearing on two of Moeyo's Best Of lists, and two different presentations of the same character appearing on different lists.  Maidens birthed by the hand of one particular unrivaled god of the business take up seven of the total 30 spots on all three lists combined.  The v-zone banzuke:

1)      Special Military Policewoman Kozue Sakakibara from Tony Taka, 1/6 scale by DRAGON Toy. 

2)      Princess Milk, 1/7 scale by Orchid Seed.

3)      Celia Cumani Aintree from Walkure Romanze, 1/6 scale by Daiki Kougyo.

4)      Love Bitch Kaori Lingerie Version, 1/7 scale by Q-Six.

5)      Ai Saeki from Fault!!, 1/6 scale by Alphamax/SkyTube

6)      Rika Shiraki from Bible Black, 1/6 scale by DRAGON Toy.

7)      Cat Lap Milk, 1/7 scale by Native.

8)      Perrine H. Clostermann from Strike Witches, 1/8 scale by Alter. 

9)      Maya Kamiwazumi from Fault!!, 1/7 scale by Alphamax/SkyTube. 

  10)  Konome Kiritani from Pisuhame!, 1/6 scale by Okayama Figure Engineering.

Better Two Years Late than Never--Strike Witches 2 has a Release Date

Funimation announced the licensing of Strike Witches Season 2 for home video distribution during Anime Boston 2010.  At Anime Boston 2011, those that attended Funi's panel were informed that the series was to be released that autumn.  Finally, from the from Funi via the good folks at Robert's Anime Corner Store;  the DVD/BD Set is scheduled to be released on October 2nd.

There can be no doubt that the delay was in no way Funimation's fault; Kadokawa Shoten, the show's producer, surely made life difficult on them in fear of reverse importation of Blu-Rays (currently on sale on Play-Asia for $461.49).  Whether it was just the passage of time, the promise of the souls of Adam Sheehan's pets, or whatever transpired between Funi and Kadokawa, let us rejoice that the war on pants is indeed set to escalate on US shores.

Let us celebrate with gratuitous Sanya / Eila action:
