Oppai anime seems to be rather popular as oppai does tend to sell. Many animation production committees would rather stay in their comfort zone and dish out money on something that they know they are going to make a buck on rather than some risky history changing concept.
Are you an oppai anime fan?

If "Senran Kagura" looks familiar to you thats because you may have seen the game series it is based on. Senran Kagura [閃乱カグラ -少女達の真影-] first came out as a Nintendo 3DS game in 2011 from Marvelous Entertainment [マーベラスエンターテイメント].

figma Araragi Tsukihi previewed
Popping up on Max Factory's figma blog today is a preview of the upcoming figma Araragi Tsukihi from Nisemonogatari. Just as a reminder of what you get with her, Tsukihi comes with an alternate longer hair style, extra feet so you can display her barefoot, and her three exclusive accessories: the pot lid, kitchen knife and awl she takes out when she's a little bit angry. You also get the angry face to match. Her yukata should also be a bit pliable on the bottom so that you can have some range of motion with posing her legs.
Tsukihi should be shipping out this month, if not already. Did any of you pick her up?
Custom Delights: Mark Nagata's Captain Ameri-Cat
Mark Nagata has tweeted out a few photos of a custom Negora he's doing for a custom Negora show at Japan's One-Up Gallery. His choice? Melding his Negora character with ... Captain America? Indeed! The custom Captain Ameri-Cat actually looks pretty cool and does seem to feature an original casting, notably because of the star on the chest and the sculpted mask on its face. Mark's given the whole thing a red, white, blue, gold and black coloring with Monster Kolor paints, and then given Negora a hand-painted shield to match. I think the end result looks pretty darn excellent!
It sounds as though this is just one of many customs Mark will be doing for the event; stay tuned, because we'll be bringing you more news on the event and customs as we get it!
Botcon going back to Cali for 2013
It was only just this past Wednesday that I mentioned we should be seeing an update on the official BotCon website soon now that the theme of Transformers: Machine Wars has been revealed in the official Transformers Collectors Club magazine. And sure enough, the update is here! BotCon will be heading to San Diego at the Town and Country Resort from June 27th through June 30th. I guess the TFCC really likes California. BotCon is a roaming convention held at different locations every year, but this marks the third time they've held the con in California since 2009, the most recent being in Pasadena in 2011. It's the first time Botcon has been held in San Diego, though it's only a few weeks before San Diego Comic Con which is troublesome to people who would like to attend both. Unless, of course, you live in SD, then congrats to you.
Right now the website doesn't offer anything more than just a splash screen and a link for hotel reservation. In the near future they'll update again with all of the necessary information and registration sign-up plus details on this year's five-figure Machine Wars box set. I still haven't made my way to a BotCon (came really close when they came to Rhode Island) and this year won't be any different, but have any of you made the trip? I do kinda want the figure set, though. Might have to spring for a non-attendee set...
