But when I did, Amazon.jp (even Marketplace) was out of stock, Kinokuniya Singapore refused to accept my order - something about ‘due to the content’ and the vigilant eyes of the Customs officers of... | | |
| 12:00am | Macross Zero is a Peculiar Prequel | | | | [This posts does not use spoiler tags, but provides sufficient warning] I don’t believe it tells the story of how everything begins.
