Stay black.

Oh, and scroll about a quarter of the way down if you want to see the ones that are really NS.

Those ... bed sheets are perhaps the most disturbing sheets I have ever before encountered in my life. It's like... kid sheets meet porn. As hentai it seems kinda of harmless to me but sheets... just bizarre.

Anything that helps lower the birth rate can't be all bad

Tamaki dakimura and Rukia figure...? There are quite a lot of those figures with movable limbs. And an Obama figure with the Death Note...

My shelves are kept filled, but floorspace has severely become limited...

Tamaki from ToHeart2 for the dakimura, and 1/8 Saber Alter for the photo! (I has her too<3)

Holy crap, I just noticed it... It could just be me....but I think it's the same model as this figure!

Nice Obama figure!

And is that Phoebus from The Hunchback of Notre Dame by his feet?

That room is so cluttered! How does she sleep?

Bamboo, thank you thank you THANK YOU for reviewing Dark King. I didn't even know this existed, but now my life won't be complete until I see it.

Made by the folks over at Gainax, [He is my Master] is beloved by hordes of anime fans, all of whom will defend this series to its grave,

meh, I enjoyed HiMM, as I've said elsewhere, and for all the reasons stated in Theron's review, so I won't restate all that. Just to say that none of the girls take any sh*t from the protagonist, who himself is just a caricature of a hormone-infused teenager given what he perceives as the keys to the kingdom. The fact that he fails in that regard entirely should be a clue here as to the author's intentions, along with the mangaka being portrayed in a sweet and loving mature relationship (alligator and hamster in the clouds, Izumi's "gods" in the show) . No, it's not GAINAX's best effort, but it's far less politically incorrect than many other otaku bait shows.

At worst, the slapstick gags are overdone and get old. At best, it turns the stock characterizations in these shows on their heads. Demure, apologetic doormat women? None here. Emotionally abusive, semi-psychotic male protagonist somehow instantly loved by all women? Nope. Harem? Anti-harem. Constant panty shots? No. The first episode or two has some, along with a bath scene, in order to rope in the otaku, but afterward short skirts are about it for fanservice, besides a crazed yuri stalker played entirely for comedy.

What surprises me more is how much hate it's getting based on the girl's ages. They look similar to any other 14-20 year olds in otaku anime shows, and Izumi falls into the older range. I long since stopped paying attention to "official" ages in anime because they are entirely arbitrary.
