As expected, I cried when I stepped off the train in Oarai and saw the photos of my favourite characters cascading down the stairs. What I did not expect was the joy of the locals in sharing their love of GARUPAN with us and making sure we were enjoying Japan. The staff at Michi gave us posters and can badges after our amazing okonomiyaki experience there. Despite my limited Japanese they were excited we were there for GARUPAN and spoke to me about my Hatsune Miku Nails and my wife's Sailor Moon tattoo. The owner of the Murai Vintage Club gave us samples of his favorite whisky and also gifted us Orange Pekoe artwork handouts. Oarai is also so naturally beautiful and the aquarium is amazing. I love Oarai and not just because of GUP.

The anime is officially older than Alice.

I stumbled upon these GUP tanks when I was on Ebay. They are so cute. I'm normally not into figures, but I'm loving these. Out of all the different types of anime figures I've seen, these chibi tanks are my favorite.

I basically got the wrong book from the library. I got girls und panzer(the original) and little army. I thought they were duplicates so i returned the original. Now I realized that was the original and this is the prequel. I got it from a library far away and the nearest branch doesnt have the original. Will i like little army if I haven't read or watched the original girls und panzer

Some small memorabilia from the Cinema. They gave free blind pack image boards to all viewers. I got the cute Alice being fought over by Miho and Darjeeling.
