Amaterasu Happiness

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

So... A while ago, I was raving about a piece of Okami fan art that was posted on deviantArt and how the artist was selling the original. A piece called Amaterasu-Happiness? I suppose I never followed up with that restless post, did I? Well, long story short... I bought it! It arrived a few weeks ago while I was straining through finals and certification exams, so I didn't make a post about it... But while I'm on the subject of Okami (as I usually am), I thought I'd show you a little snippet of the real thing:

Beautiful! Time to ask my friend how to make plexi-glass frames.

Okami Official Complete Works

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

After a very long time of delayed releases and UPS adverse weather conditions:

Pretty! Unfortunately, it has no slip cover like the Japanese edition had. I don't count that against it, though. A slip cover is brilliant, but it's one more thing to keep track of, so it doesn't bother me that this one doesn't have any. It does have an awesome shiny Amaterasu on the front, though, as you can clearly see, thanks to the flash. It's pretty much identical to the Japanese version, except all text has been converted to English... Sometimes a little oddly, but, it's still readable. Plus, you still read from right to left. You can "hit the jump", so to speak, to see a couple more shots I took. If you really strain at the words, you might catch a spoiler or two... But you can always not look at the text if you don't want spoiled.

(more...)
