Konnichiwa good people of Overclockers.

Let's open her up and see what's inside, those with good eyes may see the bigger picture. ;)

So the parcel of treasures has these wonderful gifts for me, those who been following my purchases over the years may already know what they are.

We have two mugs, two tenugui's and one strap. No shirts or anything this time. :)

Tenugui's are like thin cotton towels that can be used for anything. I purchase them because like any good Kendoka we often end up with 100's of these, they are like pants in Kendo but we wear them on our head under our hats to soak the sweat up, they also look nice on walls. :p

The strap will be attached to my phone to display my otakuist to everyone.

The mugs, I shall drink tea from them and possible coffee like a good Englishman. :p

Closer look for everyone, the backs have designs too.

The Anime background to these are the following!

The Tenugui's are from Unbreakable Machine Doll, some of you might remember that big wall scroll/poster I got last month.

The two mugs are from a Anime/VN series called Walkure Romanze which is about jousting and young knights who inspire to become the best, there is lots of "plot" in the series if you get what I mean. :D


It's a shame that jousting isn't as big as it used to be and we have such a rich history from it, kinda odd since we are a nation of horse lovers/eaters thanks to a supermarket... wouldn't our culture be richer if jousting was as big as it used to be?

The strap is from Ars Nova about an Alien force who pretty much sink the worlds entire navy with their alien designed ships, the ships are controlled by AI who take on human foam and Takao is one of them! She's a Heavy Cruiser! :D


So~


Well that's it for this month, I just paid for a other order that should arrive in a few weeks, so look forward to it! :p

YES! At last! An Iron Warrior post in this thread!! Love reading peoples over reactions each time haha. Cracks me up!

Ha, this basically!

Objectively, it isn't an overreaction at all because that noun brings with it redolence of unjustified response. In the UK, where these boards are based, the sexualisation of children is greatly frowned upon. Whatever the character details behind IW's artwork, some of them look young enough to warrant such a reaction.

A line needs to be drawn between what is an actual wrong and what simply makes us feel uncomfortable.

Because something making you feel uncomfortable isn't enough to get up in arms about it if there is no realistic/expected harm effect.

I'd personally consider guys being totally into this stuff as being a bit weird. But I feel the same about most things people obsessively collect. Or the way pet owners fawn over their animals.

Firstly, it is an actual wrong in my view. Secondly, it doesn't personally make me feel uncomfortable, aside from the cringe aspect. The main emotions I experience are pity and shame on his behalf, mixed with a good dose of amusement.

I've also lost one pair of trousers that I'm a bit bummed about. I fear I must have forgotten it at a dry cleaners... No idea which as only noticed 6 months+ later it was missing. Wallet hurting memory loss :/
