Takeru graces the lid of a Nissin Cup Noodle, illustrated by Sajiki-san. In Japanese it says “Mobile item get campaign”, to spare you a splitting headache from trying to figure out what that means its basically a promotion for a chance to win some Freedom merchandise by accessing Nissin’s website using your mobile phone. I’ve known this to exist for quite a while now but its the first time I’ve actually bought one that came with the contest form attached.
The earlier campaigns featured the Otomo Katsuhiro illustrated Takeru ( the image I have on my sidebar ) which had Freedom fans eating insane volumes of Cup ramen just to collect it.
Meanwhile at work Freedom 4 is finally completed after slogging 18 hours daily on fine-tunes for the past few days. *Minor spoilers ahead* This episode must be the most hilarious so far with Takeru and Bisu’s misadventures on earth. We’ve also spruced up the opening sequence, I can’t show any images as yet but stay tuned for more updates.

Boo hoo. Our Mediya at Liang Court only stocks Pokemon cup noodles …
Hopefully I can still find some FREEDOM Cup Noodle at the supa when I come over to Tokyo end July.

Haha, I’m pretty sure you will have no problem finding them; but its determining which are the ones with the Freedom lids that is the problem, because they look just like any other Nissin Cup Noodle on the outside.
So you are coming in July ? Shopping trip I surmise ? The anime vendors are going to thrilled to have a customer like you. Let me know when you are coming, maybe we can even meet up.

Heh. Its a trip of opportunity. Am trying to do a stop over during my return trip from the States. And it would be in time for the opening of Ultraman Festival at Sunshine City =))) If I succeed in my getaway plans, then this would be my fourth consecutive pilgrimage to Ultraman Festival.
I think i’ll try to limit the damage of this trip though, although it’s going to be primarily an Ultraman/Akiba/Nakano Broadway trip. I would definitely want to pick up some FREEDOM merchandise since it’s about the few anime that I’m following this year. (is it me? why do i feel like most of the anime series in recent years other than GITS:SAC doesn’t seem to be arresting my attention)

I tried selling some movie pressbooks to a shop in Broadway today, and was offered dirtcheap prices. I’m not going back to that shop again. Haha.
In anycase, I haven’t noticed any series that I really like either, well, not that I have been looking that hard. Will check around.

Hiya!
Wandered over from a comment you(?) left on my LJ. X] And yep, will most likely be heading over to Japan for work! (If there aren’t any unfortunate circumstances of any kind…)
Good stuff, I wish I had your job, heh. Anyways, shigoto ganbatte ne!
