My first Taobao review!

Bringing my blog back to life?


I've been browsing Taobao for a long, long, LONG time. I don't even remember when I first found out about it but I've been on the fence for a while. There was something about a shopping service that made me nervous! There were so many to choose from, so many different reviews... I decided to go with TaobaoTrends!

A little information as to what Taobao is; think of it as a Chinese Ebay or Amazon! There's no bidding, but it's a bunch of stores with many different items! Electronics, clothes, shoes, cosplay goods, you name it!
Now Taobao only ships to China. This is where the shopping service comes in. Let's say you have a few items picked out, great! Now you have to send the link and info to your SS, they'll check with the shop to make sure said item is in stock and then order it! You pay for your items and the domestic shipping to the SS. You wait for the item(s) to get to your SS, then they weigh all your items and send you an invoice for shipping. After that, you wait some more and then your items arrive!


Read on for pictures and reviews of what I ordered!! :)

Lucky Star Ep. 2




Raki☆Suta





So on a whim, I decided to get all of the episodes of "Lucky Star", and the OVA as well. I haven't
watched anime in a long time... I think the last one I saw was "Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-Chan".




Another one of my favorite animes is "Rozen Maiden":

Although I've still yet to see the second season, I love it! I love the character designs and the style that the dolls are all drawn in. It's very gothic-lolita~ Shinku is one of my favorite characters. Speaking of favorites, this series by far has one of the best "filler" episodes I've ever had the joy of watching.
DESU DESU DESU~


Anyways, back to Lucky Star:

The style that the characters are drawn in is horribly adorable, I really enjoy just looking at caps of the show just because the colors are so bright and soft. The show references a lot of Japanese culture so some jokes might fly over your head when you watch it, but if you're an otaku~ then you'll probably enjoy it~ º3º

Here are some screencaps I did of episode 1... I'm on episode 6 (I think), but I'm going to be screencapping a few "moments" from every episode.

IRL I am Konata~ º–º


I know how you feel, Kona-chan~ :(
