New petshop, more mythology porn.

Shin Petshop of Horrors?! One of my all-time favorite manga is in the midst of getting the sequel treatment and I was totally clueless?! Wow, I am really behind the times. Also of note: The original Petshop of Horrors manga is being re-released, and thank God because it sucks being a fan of a manga that's been out of print for fifteen years. I still have vivid memories of the days I spent combing every Book-Off in Nagoya and surrounding areas trying to find all ten volumes of the Petshop of Horrors manga. Eventually I got seven out of ten, which isn't too bad, if I do say so myself.

Finally, Akino Matsuri just released a fantastic and long-overdue Petshop of Horrors artbook. I picked up my copy today in Heiando and it was like, fangasm after fangasm. Fangasmic.

Also, you know what I love? The fact that the two most recent fandoms I've jumped into (Fate/Stay Night and Disgaea, respectively) are owned by creators that encourage and publish official doujinshi anthologies. Disgaea has four volumes of official doujinshi anthology, Disgaea 2 has two, and there are more on the way I believe. I have the first three Disgaea anthologies and they are made of awesome. (Yes, scans are coming.) Fate/Stay Night is up to... What, like, fourteen volumes by now? Maybe more. It's too overwhelming to try to keep up with all of the officially-endorsed Fate/Stay Night doujinshi anthologies, so today at Heiando I randomly picked up three that looked like they had good cover art. Grrrr shrink-wrapped comics I can't browse through in the store. How am I supposed to know if it's any good?

Finally, it's official: The anime VAs are going to be doing the voiceover work for the Ah! My Goddess PS2 game. Scan of new advertisements should be on my site ASAP.

EDIT: The new Kujibiki Unbalance anime and manga blows. /judgemental.

LOL, yeah, Shin Petshop is up to volume 3. Also, I envy your ownership of the artbook. I want the artbook. o_o
