Fantasia Bunko Festival

Comiket C95

Misaki Kurehito Exhibit Osaka

Aniplex+ BD Tapestry

Hey guys, 2018 has ended and I finally got my haul. As you may probably (not) know, I love Misaki Kurehito's artwork. The images below are all Saekano related items I got around December till now.This includes items from Fantasia Bunko Festival, comiket 95, Misaki Kurehito Osaka exhibit and the tapestry that comes with Aniplex's blu-ray release. Sorry in advance for the terrible lighting.I didn't actually go to the festival but I got some of the items of Kadokawa Shop . This includes the Megumi acrylic figure and the book cover.This year all the heroine wore dresses (compared to 2017 where they wore swimsuits). Megumi looks so cute.Taking it out, I used my pc to have some extra background lightingAnd the book cover usually used for light novelsThis last item apparently was only sold in Taiwan and South Korea (not Japan??). This tapestry is b1 size.This tapestry is really nice since they released this image from 2017 but didn't do anything else with it besides that....very....expensive...thing (I still wish i could somehow ship from Japan).Thankfully this year there wasn't anything exclusive to the event but not really anything interesting to get either. Kadokawa had a few tapestries based on the daki (non-Misaki art) and I bought all but Eriri.Again I did not go, but I had a friend go for me. Recall that I went back in March in Tokyo. From what I was told, the exhibit was altered where the individual sets or diaramas were different from the ones in Tokyo.I didn't pick up the desk mats back in March so I asked for some; icy tail and megumi. Also there was an exclusive item at the event, advanced tickets for the movie, each ticket representing each of the main 3 (+2) girls. Of course I can't use these as they will be (an expensive) collector's item.More into the tickets.Speaking of tickets. On January 4th, you can start buying tickets in Japan (at selected theatres) to get 1 of 2 clear posters (a3 size) randomly with tickets with the same look.Luckily I had a friend to help pick me up two tickets which I got both posters.Unfortunately I was not sent the images of each ticket but it is the same as the posters.For almost a year and a half since the first BD came out for season 2, the tapestry from buying every volume of season 2 has finally arrived after being delayed for so long.The packaging came in a larger plastic box instead of the usual cardboard tube and plastic bag/sock. The tapestry is landscape B1 size. Opening it and looking closer to you can see this isn't your ordinary tapestry.As you can see the tapestry is not fabric like the usual tapestry. The material is similar to a clear file. The box that it came in was fairly large and that would make sense. Unlike usual tapestries, if this bends, it is game over. Typically fabric can bend and be undone with ironing, this cannot.The other thing is that clear files are shiny and this will reflect a light unfavorably. The best way to show this off is illuminating the back (if anyone knows how to do it better than just tossing it over my display cases, input would help).The other unique thing about this tapestry and probably why this chose this material was because you can turn it over. What does that mean you say? Well having it like a clear file allows it to be transparent unlike most tapestries to unveil the other more spicier part.(Image is in spoiler tag for the people who can't view lingerie).Overall my feelings about this "tapestry" is sort of mixed. I love the art, I actually thought it was going to be b2 (since they never really said the size). But I hate that it is in clear file form, at least I thought the back would be fabric, but something had to be clear so you can have it turn over. The tapestry has so much glare it is hard to put near lights or your display case, the best is to illuminate it from behind. Well anyways this tapestry is crazy expensive now anyways and soon would be fairly rare. (Maybe I can hope for another set of figures XD).Thank you for reading my blog post and I hope it was interesting.
