Anubis Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Well, I got my Ai Yori Aoshi Calendar today. Very lovely calendar. Quote
Anubis Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 (edited) Unfortunately I assumed the dates would use numbers, and not Kanji. I'll still put it up probably anyway, but I got a little burned on the actual month display. Are all Japanese import calendars like this? I could have sworn I've seen a lot with normal month displays. I guess I have to stick to domestic celendars next year. Probably should have researched that a little more.

Jolly Rogers Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 (edited) That's the first Japanese anime calendar I've seen that was printed in Kanji. Most were in English and Arabic numbers. Edited December 11, 2003 by Jolly Rogers Quote

TheLoneWolf Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Anyone got any pics of the Castlevania: Lament of Innocence calendar? Quote
MrDisco Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 i have yet to unroll my aya calendar...wierd about the kanji. none of past and present calendars are done like that. i'm still waiitng for my amg! and negima calendars. i had a mahoromatic and FMoS as well but cancelled those..got a little calendar crazy Quote
Anubis Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 (edited) I t would figure that the only calendar that caught my eye enough for me to buy it would be one of the only ones to use kanji instead of numbers. <_< Not my lucky week. Maybe I should get a Gundam or Masamune Shirow celendar. Don't really want to go the Dilbert route this year again. We'll see. I still kinda want to put this one on the wall.

Jolly Rogers Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Do people actually buy these anime calendars for practical purposes? The calendar section is so tiny and nearly illegible in most cases, I thought people just buy them for the exclusive artwork. Quote
gnollman Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 That would be the only reason I've ever bought one... Quote
Anubis Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 That's why I bought the calendar, too. For the images. A regular month display would be nice, but would only serve me to remind me what day of the week it is. That's it, and that's why it will most likely go up anyway. I know the cover and Christmas pic are both going to be framed eventually. Question though since this is the first kind of calendar like this that I have bought: Are you supposed to tear or cut the pages off each month or are you ideally supposed to flip through it every time you wanted to check the date? Also, I saw the nail hole on the back of the binding, am I supposed to put it on the nail as is, or try to bend that piece up straight and do it that way? Maybe a dumb question, but I want to make sure I don't mess up the calendar. Quote
MrDisco Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 well if you want to be practical <_< you're supposed to rip off each page. yes the nail goes through that metal piece you bend back. what most of us do is use bear clips and hang it up using those. Quote

Yeah, tearing off the pages is not really something I want to do. I'll cut a few off eventually to save them though. Bear Clips? Is this what you're talking about? Thanks a lot for the info.

Black_Viper Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Are there any other anime calendars that are in Kanji? I looked around on yesasia.com and you can't really tell because all they show you is the cover. Quote
MrDisco Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Bear Clips? Is this what you're talking about? yes those are bear clips. clip the previous months page at the top, hang the clip the on a nail. Quote
Noriko Takaya Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 (edited) Don't you just love the size of those things? I do! However, I decided not to go with an anime related calendar this year, but with a race queen calendar. Sorry about the quality, but I didn't want the flash glaring the picture. Can you guess who it is? Hint hint, check my sig! One other thing, if you guys have never been over to J-List's website, they sell hundreds of these things if you have the patience to look through them all. That's where I got my present calendar and the Evangelion one from last year. Edited December 13, 2003 by Noriko Takaya Quote
Mechamaniac Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 (edited) That is a cool site Noriko, knocked out a nice Dragonball calendar for a fanatic friend of mine. Edit: I'm sure peope can find that one their own. Edited December 13, 2003 by Roy Focker Quote
Angel's Fury Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 I wonder where you can get a G-Taste calendar ? Quote
Anubis Posted December 13, 2003 Author Posted December 13, 2003 (edited) Robert's Corner Anime Store still has a couple. Act fast if you want one, they are the last place I've seen that still have it. I'm kind of tempted to get the Masamune Shirow one, too. I don't know yet. Edited December 13, 2003 by Anubis Quote
Angel's Fury Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Do you mean this Yup! Is that the only place where you can get that? Quote
Angel's Fury Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 one place isnt enough? Well you know, just in case if I don't trust one site from the other. Quote
