The Goddess Project.net

Just added a new archive to the site’s archives, the entry for Oh My Goddess Volume 12, which gets released this week.

If you haven’t visited the forums in some time, please note that we have just completed a major upgrade to the forums. We’ve also installed an IRC Chat, Shoutbox and the forums include new features which should appear to our registered members. We’re currently pushing the new upgrades because we feel that most of the previous problems regarding login issues have been corrected.

So, if you haven’t checked us out in some time, please be sure to stop by and sign up for an account.

So far, it’s a general consensus that everyone likes the new forum design. So, if you haven’t stopped by, feel free. Accounts are free so stop by and say hi. There have been improvements all across the forums so you might just be surprised. Our new forum design features a Webby 2.0 look and we think you’ll agree.

This week, we saw the loss of three great cultural icons. Ed McMahon, co-host and sidesick of Johnny Carson and Star Search, Farrah Fawcett, star of Charlie’s Angels, and Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. This is a great loss to the world as everyone mourns the passing of these great legends.

Farrah Fawcett, star of the hit 70’s series, Charlie’s Angels, has passed away from her battle with cancer. Married to Lee Majors (The Six Million Dollar Man), she lost her battle, passing away at the age of 62.

Michael Jackson, most notably known as the “King of Pop” has also passed away, suffering from a cardiac arrest, after doctors in Los Angeles failed to revive him. While know for his hit  songs “Thriller” and the Free Willy song, “Will You Be There?” he passed away earlier today at the age of 50. He released several albums, gaining 13 top number one hits.

These two will surely be missed.

The forum upgrade has been completed. While it may take some getting used to, I’m looking for some skins to replace the ones we had for the previous version of the forum software. At any rate, if you discover any problems, be sure to let me know by posting a comment here or posting here:

It looks like Diamond Comic Distributors are showing some real antipathy toward anime and manga publishers and the makers of toys releated to both egnres. Dismissing it off by classifying that it costs Diamond $2500 to list each item. While I sympathize with the distributor, how much can it cost to use ink to print an item on the page? This is just Diamond’s way of trying to get publishers to guarantee huge orders and greater profits for Diamond.

Diamond Comic Distributors should be ashamed of themselves for placing unreasonable burdens on anime and manga publishers. After all, if more and more comic book publishers start deciding that dealing with outfits like Diamond just isn’t worth it anymore and work instead on dealing directly with comic shops and bookstores/booksellers, then Diamond could be setting off a firestorm that could have real hard implications for their company.

One of the greatest entertainers in the world, Ed McMahon, has passed away at the age of 86.  Ed McMahon, who has Johnny Carson’s comedy sidekick on “The Tonight Show” as well as hosting Star Search and assisting Jerry Lewis with the Labor Day Telethon is going to be sorely missed. He was America’s favourite.

Have you purchased any figures? If you have purchased any anime, manga or video-game figures, figma’s or any type of figures related to the anime industry, please post a comment and let us know.

While there have been many figures, toys and models and other merchandise released for various anime, manga and video game properties, I have finally ordered my first pair of figures, mainly from the “Revoltech “line of figures. These figures are simply gorgeous. While I hope to receive my figures by the end of this week, I’m hoping to share my find with the rest of our community when they finally arrive. These first two figures I ordered, the first one is from the  “Sweet Dreams” anime series and the second one is from the “Idol Master” anime series. I’ll post the opening event when I received these figures.

Of the two figures that I ordered are:
