Winter 2008 Contest
shijima November 4th, 2008 12:52 am
Since I’ll be gone for a month, I thought I’d hold a contest and lottery in the meantime to thank everyone for their support.
You are allowed one entry to the contest and one entry to the lottery (detailed rules below).
Reply to this post with any questions or suggestions.
Contest
Reply to the Contest Answer Post and come up with an answer to the following question related to Himegami:
Why did Himeka say meeting Hyou changed her life?
Your answer can be whatever you like, humorous, serious, weird, long, short, etc.
I’m just curious as to what theories are out there.
Please fill in your name and e-mail when you reply.
Winner will be arbitrarily decided by me. 
Lottery
To counteract the arbitrary contest, this one’s all about chance.
Winner will be randomly decided.
Rules
- One entry per person each for the contest and lottery.
- Contest ends November 30, 2008 Pacific Standard Time.
- If the same person happens to win both contest and lottery, I will redo the lottery until a different person is selected.
- Winners will be contacted by e-mail on December 1, 2008 and have 72 hours to reply with a valid mailing address. DO NOT enter if you are not willing to give a mailing address. I don’t care if it’s a P.O. Box under an assumed name or what but I DO NOT want the package returned to me.
- Contest is open to entries outside the US.
- Shipping will be either Priority Mail or Priority Mail International.
- Multiple entries will result in disqualification.
- If the winners happen to select the same prize, priority goes to the winner of the contest.
- IPs will be recorded.
Note: For those with dynamic IP, yes, you can change it and keep creating e-mail addresses, but I don’t think the prizes are worth the effort of doing so.
Prizes
Each winner will get to choose some categories and a couple prizes from each category.
The number of categories and prizes that can be chosen will be based on the cost of the prizes picked.
Sample of Possible Prizes
All items are either new or in mint condition. I will mention which when I send out the final list of prizes.
Figures
1/8 size Kos-Mos V4 - The box is huge! The figure less so.
Stationary
Marimite Stationary
Artbooks
Clear Files
Various pencilboards, book covers, clear files.
Cups
Marimite teacup and saucer (not shown). The Naruto mug is hilarious. You fill it with hot water and an image appears on the reverse. As for the image, it’s an Iroke mug. I don’t think I need to say more.
Japanese Snacks
Question! What kind of drawing we should make?
Sorry, I was unclear, I meant it was a lottery. There’s no need to draw a picture. I’ll change the post.
Though, I always enjoy your drawings. =)
Nah, s’okay^^ so it’s lottery, eh? I guess i have to pray a lot to have a big luck only for this time XD thanks for answering! Ah, and i hope you enjoy your trip there, Shijima-san ;D
Is.. IS THAT AN UTENA ARTBOOK?
@aro: that’s it. Utena artbook. Another ones are 2 artbooks by CLAMP, Mai Otome Artbook… and Aoishiro Jive Fanbook series (>___<)
Not entering (all your hard work with the scanlations is already enough for me and I have too much STUFF as it is) but just wanted to comment that it’s pretty cool you’re doing something like this and thank you for the manga you’ve made available. kudos!
nyahahaha! Shijima, you are way generous! The only japanese stuff I owned currently is Yossie’s graduation PB and her graduation concert DVD and a couple of mangas. So I do want some prizes, heheh… >=< I’m torn between answering seriously or humorously. We only get to submit one type of answer right?
Ooh, a lottery too? Very interesting I think I’ll take a chance. Thanks the for the scans and translations as always
You note that the contest is open to non-US residents…just for clarity’s sake, that includes the question-contest and the lottery, yes?
And since I don’t think I’ve ever commented here before, I’ll add a general thank you for all the work you do translating these manga for us.
@Gtfr
Thanks for the support! I definitely understand having too much stuff. I finally stopped buying 2 copies of some manga… :p
@Ren
Hehe, you really do like Yossie.
Yah, only one answer.
@SayaSP
Sure, np. Thanks for the support.
@Kamino Neko
You’re welcome. Yes, I mean that both the contest and lottery are open to non-US residents.
Hope you have a good vacation Shiji and I’ll await till you come back!
(I hope you didnt have to ship international for those snacks. There are many stores that sell those)
o i hope i win
@Koyot3
Thank you! Nah, those were snacks I brought back. Most can be found at Narita Airport.
@Yi
I accept bribes. j/k =)
