Telephone cards from Gakken, and Koge-Donbo

(tags telephone card, anime, mail-order, magazine, Nanoha A's, Shana, ECsite, point card, Koge-Donbo, Di Ji Charat)

Now about something I might know about. Today's mail was very surprising. Well I ordered something a long time ago and it came in a batch: Megami Magazine 2006/05 mail-order telephone cards! (メガミマガジン2006年05月全員サービス!)

Megami Magazine 2006/05 Telephone Card service: Fate Testerosa from Nanoha A's , Shana from Shakugan no Shana; Gamers' monthly telephone card 2006/06: Di Ji Charat

I thought Gakken was about school tests, but now Gakken equals anime goods in my mind. This time I ordered two telephone card copies of Fate Testerosa from Nanoha A's (魔法少女リリカルなのはA's) and Shana from Shakugan no Shana (灼眼のシャナ). Actually, I haven't watched Shana at all, and I'm going to watch the Nanoha DVDs now, yeah, so why get crazy with two copies? Actually I like the "Nanoha" design TC over this "Fate" more. Ah, I only have one copy!?!? (I want to use "orz" here but that looks so childish.)

Next, as a Gamers freak and general Koge-Donbo (A Little Snow Fairy Sugar character designer, Di Ji Charat character designer, Pitaten, Kamichama Karin) fanatic, I started collecting these Gamers monthly point card special telephone cards. Always Koge-Donbo, all the time! The above picture shows a Di Ji Charat design telephone card with black holder (台紙) for June 2006. Unfortunately for me, I didn't start collecting this monthly set series until the second year (2006). 12 cards already passed, so much for being a collector. Each card costs 30 points, and 1 point is credited for every 1000 yen spent, so eh hee hee. How many points do I have? Eh he, he hehehe.

Of course, if you want to buy Koge-Donbo telephone cards, Gamers of course (*slaps forehead*) has got you covered right now with their 10th anniversary special TC campaign. You could also do the mail-order thing with Broccoli magazines like Comic Diji charat (defunct?), Comideji (defunct?), or Comideji Plus (current?) which always feature Koge-Donbo in every issue. In fact, I'm lined up to get the latest magazine, so I can repeat this kind of post in another few months.
