^_^ I'm back peoples, and the .hack// craze was totally destroyed via LUFFY and his band of GAYASS pirates. -.-;! Holy shizzle, I saw only 4 .hack// things in this one huge anime/manga store. I did not get any posters of .hack. I got the perfect game music thing mabob or whatever, and I had a lot of fun. I want to go back! ^_^; Tatsuya (a translation dude who was hired by the town to translate shiz fer us) told me about Parody Mode...I already knew of it, but that lucky *....insert angry insult..* had all the games.. damnit. ^^; It's okay, he's awesome. I fell in love with the reporter/photographer man. o_o Yeah, I know, but hey.. O_o I love him. *giggle* I got Toppo, Pocky, some almond shiz, and a bunch of other stuff I was gonna give to you guys but my best pal ATE all the food that I had brought back. O___o; No plushies of .hack// anything were to be found in Sendai, and we looked around Tokyo too...didn't find a trace...too much of Luffy and his loser gang. *anger* A lot of Naruto stuff was floating around too. Tatsuya hasn't seen dusk yet so I made him cry practically by describing it to him. ^_^ Hah. Payback.

I missed you all, my net hasn't been working for a total of 2 and a half weeks. Just got it working, yay. Gotta go clean my mail out and post some more, damnit. I love you all! I missed this place... O_O I had to play little stupid ROMS of ancient Zelda games to entertain myself.

Ok, I'll ask the question we all wanted to know about.... How did it go with the bus perverts?

Akki · Post by **Akki** » Mon Jul 28, 2003 1:31 am

*giggles* There were none. I kept myself firmly pressed to the back-most corners of the bus. ^_~ So if there were any, they definately didn't get their hands on me! Blah, One Piece is like Pokemon over there. It spreads and devourrrsss....

I didn't like it much due to the constant barrage of toys and manga and posters, etcetera. Let it die down a bit there, and next time I go, I might watch a bit more of it.
*walks down Sendai Main Street* La la la--Angel Sanctuary--lala.. *sings*
Luffy-wannabe: OMFG, LMFAO. ONEH-PEEESSSSS.
*cries* nooo please noooo..
^_^: Bah. I'm going offtopic I think? Yeah. Thats okay. I ate all the Pocky, oh.. I did see some .hack//sign shirts now that I mention it, but they were on people... already....

)

Dejiko · Post by **Dejiko** » Wed Jul 30, 2003 4:37 pm

what's an artbox (we must know) for heavens sake?! x.@ gah!

and I also need to know if Shaman King was a big thing too!!! @.x

to bad One Piece is BIG over there that kinda sucks, means there stuff is over priced... >.<

I geuss I'll wait on my trip then ^-^;;

and a thing about the .hack//sign shirts, having people wear them, all you got to do is, jump the people, rip the shirt off, and run like heck ^-^ works EVERY time....wait.... or is that for stealing nicknacks... v.v;;;

like a collectors box for a series, such as the .hack//sign hexagonal box. There is original art on there.

You have to understand, some series just do not create plushies for retail. .hack is one of those series, so you won't be finding any plushies for sale. To be honest, most series do not -have- plushies. The available non-plotline merchandise seen thus far includes, but is not limited to, posters, capsulte figures, shitakiji (pencil boards), pins, cards, T-shirts, and lately, Limited Edition Cels.

.hack wasn't the -biggest- thing in Japan, honestly, and people bought more of the games, books, DVDs, and other things, so they don't need little things like plushies or whatsit.

And, as a note, Akki, can you please refrain from words like 'gayass' or other such insulting terms? A lot of people like One Piece, and even for those who don't really care, that kind of language can make them uncomfortable.
