Samantha Thavasa Sweets Surprise!!!

I am surely lucky to be one of the hand picked winners to win a box of Samantha Thavasa Sweetsspecially flew in from Japan. They are so fresh that they are meant to be consumed within days. I really love the idea of freshness with no preservatives added.

Here's the inside. I really like the packaging and the sweet note that comes with your purchase. Such a nice touch!

The box of Samantha Thavasa Sweets consist of 6 donut-like confectionery, in the flavours of Raspberry, Strawberry, Green Tea, Mango, Glazed and Chocolate icing sugar. 😍🍩

My friend even sent me some cute sailor moon donuts!!🌙😍🍰🍩 

I tried one of these and these have more of a cake texture than that of a donut. Still delicious!!! The Sailor Moon donuts have a very fruity smell!!🌙😍🍰🍩

The taste is sweet yet not too over-powering.

Card Captor Sakura Collection 1 +2 + movie 1

YASSSS~ Cardcaptor Sakura collection is here! :’) let the happy tears begin!!!!!

I really enjoyed this anime when it was first shown on Teletoon in Canada. Sailor Moon had already stopped airing at the time, and I was curious to check out another mahou shoujo (magical girl) series.

 I was first drawn towards the pretty art style and was expecting to see her transformation (much like Sailor Moon), but of course that doesn’t actually happen because Sakura doesn’t transform XD. She simply puts on a different fancy costume designed by her best friend and wingwoman Tomoyo. Kind of trivial but cute :D

Cardcaptor Sakura follows the story of a cheerful girl named Sakura Kinomoto, a ten-year-old fourth grader who lives with her father and older brother Toya. One day, Sakura accidentally releases a set of magical cards known as ‘Clow Cards’ from a mysterious book found in her basement. These cards were created by a sorcerer named Clow Reed and contain spirits with unique magical abilities. Cerberus, the Guardian of the Cards emerges from the book and chooses Sakura to retrieve the missing cards.

The first 20 or so episodes mostly revolve around Sakura collecting the Clow Cards, with the overarching plot picking up  pace in Season 2. The show has plenty of humour, action and LOTS OF CUTEEEE (I’m a huge sucker for the romance ~Syaoran-kun <3).

13 years later and I’m re-watching the show again. This time around, I’m loving it. This is a series I will definitely introduce to my friends.

The English version that I grew up watching was censored and cut. Here’s the Cardcaptor Sakura collection, remastered, uncut and provided in original Japanese audio with English subtitles. Sweet!

Cardcaptor Sakura Collection 1: Clow Book! I LOVE THIS ART!

The DVD’s only special features are the textless opening and closing songs. These are pretty basic things to include. I don't really consider them bonus features in my opinion. It would be really nice if there were other bonuses included.



Each collection contains 5 discs and 35 episodes.

The slip cover is double-sided and contains two artwork's of Sakura in her various battle costumes.

Cardcaptor Sakura Collection 2: Sakura Book!

Here are both of the backs of both collections! 

Collection 2 contains both Seasons 2 & 3,  and also contain 35 episodes worth.

This collection also comes with extra features such as textless songs and an interview with Sakura Tange voice of Sakura. I like this collection better because of the extra content.

Again, the slip cover is double sided so you can flip it around if you want a different DVD cover. It would’ve been nice to have Sakura with her upgraded wand though ;D

Sakura: The Movie. This should be viewed after the end of Season 1, episode 35.

I AM SO IN LOVE with this O-Card Slipcase. Isn’t the manga art gorgeous?The manga art was so pretty that the inside art kinda paled in comparison. 

Inside the DVD case you’ll find a little movie guide. The guide is pretty small, so it doesn’t clip onto the case that well. When I opened the case, the guide book wasn't bent! =) 

The booklet contains some character profiles and some character sketches. is only a couple of pages. Nice little addition nevertheless.

All in all, very happy with the packaging :) I’m still waiting for the second movie to come out on DVD which will release in May, but in the meantime.. more Cardcaptor Sakura episodes!!

Sailor Moon Volume's 1 & 2 review!

Hi moonies. I have in addition to Sailor Moon season 1 part 2. I also was able to get Sailor Moon volumes 1 and 2 by Madman.
Madman will be releasing all 8 volumes for each season. Season 1 volumes will be Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Tuxedo Mask, Queen Beryl and Princess Serenity.

These are individual volumes of the limited edition disks.
I love these covers.  They are simplistic and remind me of the Dic volumes from back in the day. Seeing these just brought me back to being a child and picking up the old volumes.

The fronts of the DVDs have Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury.  Here are the backs.The backs have the same info that was on the limited edition set.
 The inside is so pretty! The back and inside look like the Thai DVDs. I love that the art on the insides of these! The background has Sailor Moon's disguise pen. There are some pink stars with Saior Moon holding up her tiara.

 Mercury has her transformation pen butcovered in differnt shades of blue. There are blue stars with Sailor Mercury with her ice bubble.

The video is the same as the limited edition set. I spoke to madman directly they said only if these volumes sell well they will continue to release them.  I really hope all goes well for them! I would like to buy them all! The volumes are available on Target Australia and Mighty Ape
