Finally Alter’s Fate Testarossa Burst version makes part of my collection. Close to Nanoha Takamachi, she stands proudly, mighty and solely. Her sad expression tells an unheard, *cough* season 1, story. Behind those powerful blade (Bardiche in Assault Form, Season 2) and blazing speeds is a lonely and wounded girl. Longing to be loved, wished to be seen, frighted for friendship, as she never had.

Fate Testarossa united with my collection

A few weeks ago my-animedaisuki uploaded the ED single to the free file service. To notifiy, here a post. I’ve updated the post Zero no Tsukaima and was nice enough to complete archives along the OST.

For those we aren’t familiar with the series, please check the Zero no Tsukaima. It’s an great time-wasting series, there is an absurd telling of romance behind the two.

Plot summary

Zero no Tsukaima starts when our failing magician Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière ‘failed’ to summon a familiar. Louise houses in the Tristein Magical Academy to become a fully fledge ‘noble’. People at this planet are noble if they are able to perform spells. People without the privelege are the rabble.

Becoming a mage is quite a task but Louise makes it an horrible experience. All spells she chants fails in a dramatic way. Her reputation is well known and she’s called Louise Zero, ’cause she can do zero spells. Now, epsiode 1 season 1, the day to proof her gift is set. The day of summons were a noble must summon a familiar to guide the mage in his entire life.

My second shoot, following both tutorials of HappySoda (light and blocking light) and followed up the tips from Shino, who I think is from the lololol blog, I shot better pictures than last time. We’ll start with a little side-story about Reinforce Une.

Reinforce is a device from the tome of the night sky. Yagami Hayate, the mistress obtained her in season 2. However due certain events Reinforce Zwei (Deutsch for two) is now the new tome device.

Reinforce Zwei, does look like a chibi version of the earlier Reinforce. She made an appearance in the later season 3 (StrikerS) and we finally we see her into action as she takes on the full drive. Later on you get to know Reinforce is an unison device. Ok, I won’t spoil it, so I better stop informing about the series. At any case a screenshot of Reinforce Zwei, from StrikerS is below so we are able to compare it with the pvc version of Alter.

I’ve had it with the spam. Bang! Closing down a bunch of comment forms, sorry people. Hopeful the OST of Laputa will make you out of crying. Also if you were looking for a torrent, try the Boxtorrents Laputa torrent. It took ‘us’ a while to discuss which was the best version, so… Buy at Play.com I’ve bought mine at a local store.. So don’t have an url of that. You can try the store urls in the blog roll too.

No updates? Yup, I rarely have sparetime due my work, forgive me. Though, I’m able to announce I’m writing an article about “Zero no Tsukaima”. The same reason and setup as I have written the “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Season 1-3” article. An huge and factfull article thus.

Next I have found some good plugins such as comment editing and comment luv which I want to add to the blog. Hopefully the spam will stop when I put up a new filter.

At last some savings made their way to a webstore Archonia (interesest especially Benelux countries) and vanished into the thin air. However I ‘found’ myself new PVC’s and the ‘new’ books of Battle Angel Alita. Well, not all too shabby for you guys, but I needed to mention and explain I’m still alive.

Sorry for the misspelling blogging, I really have no time or intend to clean up right now. So, again, never ever learn English from this blog. English is NOT my native language, you should have notice by now …

Fate Testarossa starts as a formidable opponent of Nanoha Takamachi in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. In the third series she’s adopted and changes the name to Fate Testarossa Harlaown. I preferred the burst version, see happy soda’s site which also made a review. However I could not get it, all sold out :(. So, in meanwhile I bought this one and I hope the burst version becomes again available in the future.

So, let’s start my very first figure review. Yes, this my first. Be nice, but criticism is a must!

A pleasant old fashioned party is going on. Jokes are made and champagnes are toasted. The cooks and cleaners are doing there job and everything goes smooth.

That doll wears the same clothes as her, red dress, clothed hat, green ribbon…

General Information

The first volume of the manga was published in Japan 25th March 2003. In 7th October, 2004 the new anime series ‘Rozen Maiden’ aired, which was a success. A year later, on 21th October 2005, the second season named ‘Rozen Maiden Traumend‘ was aired and nearing the ending of the show an OVA was introduced. Traumend is German for Dreaming.

Nanoha, our little teenager gets suddenly involved in an event which will change her life forever. While making a stroll in the together with her friend she picks up a wounded ferret. Quickly she takes it to the vet who finds the ferret mostly intelligent. That night Nanoha is being mentally contacted by the ferret who’s in huge danger. A black drop of water looking like a acid toxic waste in an giant drop form seemed to have chased down the ferret. The ferret is in fact a magical ‘human’ user who supposed to safeguard these creatures. While wounded she has no power to lock up this life threating creature and desperately gets our Nanoha involved.

A long time ago I wrote about Fairy Musketeer Akazukin. A very young girl from a world having magic visits the world named Earth (the world of science). She is addressed with a very important mission! Now it seems a boy of just her age seems to be the key. The key to break the seal between the world of magic and of science. … For more information I refer you to my first impression.

At this time I won’t blog the series. Still, following the weeks ago, I find increasing people requesting uploads, which is fine. However this requires me to ensure a forum at the site. I’m still busy with the forum and a few things should be set before I open a closed beta for selected users only.

I have uploaded this series ’cause I couldn’t find any license for it. It also doesn’t seems to be uploaded at other DDL sites, so it’s a rare item. The requester asked me for Episode 37. So here it goes. Starters may start at the first episode.

ps. my CMS have failed multi times and I should (after the forum) continue developing this issue. So the information page may seem buggy to you. Having a lot of ? symbols. Sorry, old code … hehe.
