Kuroko makes a pact with Kagami to defeat the other members of the Miracle Generation, who have all played basketball at other schools. A battle of light (Kagami) and shadow (Kuroko) begins!

Have you ever thought: with the first episode just recently airing, what better time could there be to look for merchandise of the show? The makers of Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid seem to be answering that question with the announcement (made 6 months ago) that there would be figures for the show’s 2 main characters, Shikishima Mirei and Tokonome Mamori, which are now up for preorder.
Both 1/7 figures are made by Kadokawa and are obviously meant to be displayed together with bases that easily combine into one, but each of them are also available individually. Mirei’s figure has a bit more work put into it and retails for 16,000 yen (133.61 USD) while Mamori is only 11,000 yen (91.85 USD). The two are also available as a bundle from the Dengekiya shop for 26,500 yen (242 USD). This bundled set also comes with a bonus illustration, as well as an entry into a lottery where the illustration will be signed by the voice actresses of the two characters.
Mamori’s figurecomes in at 200 mm (almost 8 inches) and features her in a uniform with a skirt that is probably way too short to cover anything. Complete with white over-the-knee socks, pink bow, pink shoes, and pink … accessories.
Mirei’s figure is a bit taller at 240 mm (around 9.3 inches) and has her dressed in a semi-destroyed uniform (holding a sword that if you watch the show shouldn’t be there at the same time Mamori is but hey, figures aren’t 100% accurate to the show). Her leather jacket is keeping together her ripped white shirt and her frayed skirt is hardly covering anything at all in this figure, having her show more skin than the Mamori figure.
To account for the discrepancy in price between the two figures, Kadokawa has also given Mirei’s figure a bit of a bonus! Just like the show this figure also exposes some skin as her figure is a cast-off with removable top and bottom, although the panties do stay on.
Both figures and the bundle will be released in March of 2016 and are currently up for preorder at all major figure sites.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a survival horror video game developed by Koei Tecmo and Nintendo Software Planning & Development, and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame / Project Zero series, it released in September 2014 in Japan and is set for a North American release on October 22, 2015, and in Europe October 30, 2015. However, North America will be getting a digital-only release and Europe will have a limited physical copy release along with a digital release. For horror and Fatal Frame fans and collectors this is tragic news.
Players navigate areas filled with hostile ghosts that must be exorcised by taking photographs using the Camera Obscura, which is directly controlled using the Wii U gamepad. A post-endgame story featuring Ayane, a character from the Dead or Alive series, is also available featuring altered gameplay mechanics. The story, which is set on the fictional Hikami Mountain, focuses on three protagonists who are drawn into supernatural events revolving the area, including an ancient ritual to seal away Yomi, a malevolent force corrupting the surrounding spirits that is tied to the fate of the shrine maiden Ouse Kurosawa.
Until the game is released, here is a trailer from Nintendo UK to tide you over until release.
It’s only natural to add some fanservice to dull the pain of roaming the long dark village that makes the world of Fatal Frame. But, hey, if we’re gonna fight ghosts, we’re gonna look sexy doing it.

Drag-Rides are ancient armored mechanical weapons that have been excavated from ruins all around the world.
