The 3rd Day of Christmas - Minami-ke

Posted by 0rion on December 3rd, 2007 - 10:00 am

On the 3rd Day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

3 rain charms

2 Guchuko’s
And a cruise on a nice boat for free!

If I were list out the Top Ten Things I Want For Christmas, a Chiaki teru teru bouzu figure would definitely rank right up near the top.

Really, Minami-ke as a whole has been one of the few bright rays of comedy sunshine in an otherwise relatively drab season. With the end of both Lucky Star and Potemayo, I was desperately in need of a worthy replacement, and so far it rather nicely fills the hole left by both series.

It has a bit of Lucky Star’s “I totally know the feeling” slice-of-life humor, a bit of Potemayo’s over-the-top physical comedy, and a healthy portion of wackiness all it’s own. And also Mako-cakes, but that’s a whole ‘nother story. :P

So if you could get your own custom made figure, any character, any pose - what would you go for?

I’m wondering where the “Mako-cakes” moniker came from. Otherwise, a nice choice. :P

Haha you could have your other figures gathered around Chiaki and worshipping her, too =D. Was “Mako-cakes” from AOMM/DBD? That was the first time I saw the nickname thrown around.

Yeah, that was Jason Miao. I found it so humorous that it just kind of stuck in my head. :)

And yes, if they actually made a teru teru bouzu Chiaki figure, I would absolutely do a figure review with all the others gathered around in a big circle praying for sunny days.

I do remember Jason using “Mako-cakes”, but I thought others used it at the same time.

Chiaki is the cutest Teru Teru Bouzu ever. I had to explain that cultural reference to Dio. Still hilariously awesome, though.

That was a pretty funny scene, even more funny that it worked ^^.

I haven’t seen this yet, so the Chiyo-chan oppostie teru teru bouzu is the best to me. ^_^
