Sengoku Basara X 10Th Anniversary Fountain Pens

[FinalEleven]

So I was just browsing the internet clicking through links through the shipping proxy that I am currently using and I wandered onto the Capcom webstore. If you're familiar with Video Games, then you should know who Capcom is. They publish games such as Street Fighter, Megaman, and in this case Sengoku Basara.

 

Sengoku Basara is a video game series that is based on the Warring states period of Japan. Each character is highly exaggerated and incredibly stylized. This series was made into an anime a couple of years ago and an english version of the 3rd game was released around the same time the anime came out.

 

Since this is the 10th anniversary of the series, Capcom decided to commemorate the occasion with fountain pens! These pen's have a custom nib engraved with an identifying feature of the characters that each pen represents.

 

 

Date Masamune:

Nibs:

The decorations that are on the cap and barrel are silk screened. More importantly, these pens are made by Sailor! I don't know if these are steel or 14k gold nibs as there is no indication. At this price point, I'm thinking gold nib, but these are limited edition pens so I really don't know.

 

These pens are set to release November 20th and preorders are up on the e-capcom website at http://www.e-capcom.com/ec/srDispProductDetailCsLink/doColorSizeLink/1/1/A10005656/10/10/srDispProductDetail/1 well as http://www.enter-sis.com/factory/shopping.php?itemNr=273

 

As a fan of this series and a fountain pen collection, I'm definitely planning to preorder the Date Masamune and the Mitsunari Ishida pen...Maybe the Yukimura pen. An Anime/Video Game themed fountain pen is something that appeals to my fountain pen collecting self and my Anime and Video Game loving self. I didn't have anything I had planned on buying currently, but these immediately went on my list of pens to buy.

 

EDIT:

After doing some research, it looks like these pens are limited editions of the Sailor Procolor 500, and because of that it should use a steel nib.

Otaku goods or not, it's still a sailor limited edition pen!

I thought the calendar was a separate purchase.

 

Who knows, maybe this pen will bring out other anime fans out of the woodwork lol.

Hmmm... I have been looking for a new anime to watch.

 

I wonder if Sailor would make a Sailor Moon limited edition fountain pen.

 

[Kicks a can]

 

I mean, it makes PERFECT sense for them to do this--Sailor fountain pens, Sailor Moon--and a set of limited edition Sailor Moon Inks! Just think of it: Usagi Pink, Sailor Moon Blue, Luna Purple Night, Tuxedo Black!!! OMGOMGOMG!!!

 

Ah, Sailor, why haven't you done this yet?!? It's been over 20 years and the remake was released this year! Damn it! GIVE ME MY SAILOR MOON PEN!

[Cyber6]

GIVE ME MY SAILOR MOON PEN!

 

... You and my teenage daughter will get along...

Let her know that even when she's 32 she will STILL love Sailor Moon.

^I Watched Cardcaptors. Does that count?

I also watched fancy lala, Heidi, princess Sara and other stuff like this.

 

I watched sengoku basara a couple of years ago. It was good, but don't remember whether it was good enough for me to buy a pen commemorating it.

 

When is somebody releasing a pen to commemorate something like hellsing, tengan toppa gurren lagann, mobile suit gundam, code geass, get backers or death note?

 

Reminds me that I am yet to watch over 2TB of anime I have downloaded.

well I dunno...

[FinalEleven]

I just checked the Zeon pens and I'm sad that Char isn't a fountain pen...He's stuck being a ballpoint!

That doesn't make sense, Fountain pens are at least 3 times faster than ballpoints!

[Algester]

sadly that also depends on the refill that a pen can be 3x faster... I would consider the uniball jetstream as one my first field trip running with a lecoule wasnt that pretty fast :<

These look very interesting, thanks for sharing!

There is a Sailor Moon unofficial fountain pen (fan-made) from China that is on back order.

 

I'm desperately trying to get my hands on one..

 

My 7-year-old self is throwing a tantrum for wanting it so much!
