Dengeki G’s Festival! Deluxe Vol. 6
This is my first magazine from Japan, Dengeki G’s Festival! Deluxe. I mainly bought this for the beautiful Angel dakimakura and the Nendriod Petit Yurippe.
The Dengeki G’s magazines are published by ASCII media which cover bishōjo games and any spin-off media. The Dengeki G’s Festival! Deluxe series in particular focuses on one visual novel and it’s various spin-offs. Volume 6 features Angel Beats!, the latest co. project developed by Key and ASCII media. The anime is currently airing as part of this (Spring 2010) anime season and is an original work (ie no previous source material).
Included in this volume is, as mentioned, a Nendriod Petit Yurippe and an Angel dakimakura. The magazine itself is about 66 pages containing various artworks from Angel Beats!, interviews with voice actors, some manga strips, adverts (xD), and some info about the freebies.
Front and back pages
An advert for that games which looks like Shuffle! but isn’t Shuffle!. Anyway, looks like it’s getting a PSP port.
Into the guts of the magazine. Angel Beats! The first part contains summaries and a bit about the series
Then there’s a section dedicated to the character artwork
Followed by VA interviews and then various artworks. Some are split across 2 pages; whereas others have multiple images on 1 page.
Then we have something about “Track ZERO”.
There’s then a few pages with a short chibi manga; and then 1 page with a black and white manga strip. The final pages are dedicated to the freebies.
This page shows Petit Angel, which will be part of another Dengeki release I believe. There is also 3 other characters shown (well 2 + Yurippe with a hat).
The next part is dedicated to the dakimakura. By the looks of it they have taken their inspiration from Kudryavka Noumi of Little Busters.
So what do the goodies actually look like?
The dakimakura is 160x45cm. Luckily my other dakimakura is 160x50cm so I don’t need to buy another body for the case, it was just a tight sqeeze ><.
There is only illustrations on 1 side; the reverse side is all white. The all white side is made from a fluffy material, whereas the pictured side is a smooth soft fabric. The actual illustraion stretches to all corners of the pillow case so you do loose some of the hair and arms to the sides of the actual pillow. But then that could be because I sqeezed 45cm in to 50cm. 
The Nendoroid Petit is tiny in comparison to the dakimakura . This is my first Petit so I was a bit surprised just how small they are. What is cool though is how articulated the figure is. You can move Yurippes’ head, arms and hands; as well as take off her skirt.
Overall I’m impressed with everything included. ~4000¥ for a dakimakura, high quality magazine and a nendo petit is not bad. However if you have no interest in Angel Beats! this probably isn’t the volume of Dengeki G’s for you.

I got my copy yesterday, like you I also got it for the dakimakura and nendo petit
Yuri’s so cute, and the Tenshi dakimakura feels so soft. Unfortunately, I don’t have a pillow big enough for it
You got it!
i wanted to get a copy but its too expensive, for me and i have so many things to buy =/
but damu i want it.
yuri petit =)
Nice get! I have yet to buy my first Japanese magazine. I have a very basic vocabulary and I’m still struggling with my kanji ^^; lol
Nice purchease ! I like Angel Beat chara design ^^
@Nopy: Nice
.
I think I made a mistake with the dimensions. I meant the dakimakura case is 160×45, if it was x55 it wouldn’t be a tight fit
I’ve got 2 pillows that I bought a while back: Shin Magical Sweet Dakimakura Body Plain 160×50 and a Cospa 150x50cm body, although I don’t use the Cospa one for anything just now.
@Fabrice: There’s probably going to be loads of Angel Beats! merchandise coming out, it’s just a case of prioritising what to get.
@Xine: I can’t read any of it, I lack even basic vocabulary.
I got this more for the pictures and extra goodies.
@Leonia: Thanks
. So far I’m loving TK with his English phrases mixed amoungst all the Japanese. Plus he stands out the most with his “cool guy” character design.
I think Angel Beats may be one of the most awesome anime this season, surprisingly. I mean, look at the competition : K-On!! ? B Gata H Kei?? KissxSis ??
Lovely!! The petite nendo is cute and the dakimakura look wonderful.
So, you can’t read the Jap too. I can’t too and that’s the reason holding me back of getting any of these magazines. However, like you, I like to look at the illustration. Thank you for the photos.
@Valence: Episode 2 of Angel Beats! was awesome. Knowing that they’ll come back to life even if they trigger the traps allowed them to sacrifice themselves with no real consequences (or be killed by Yuri xD).
Although I am curious as to why Angel is their main enemy, she doesn’t seem to be a bad gal at all.
@softz: Thanks! It would be nice to be able to read the text. See what the voice actors have to say about their parts. Chances are though the main story sections re-iterate what we already know about the show.
Very nice magazine. It has some really great images, and the dakimakura is just lovely. ^ ^
I was just hunting for this ^_^ it’s a shame it’s impossible to get now, and I don’t think I would ever find a copy in the UK. xD
At least you can still get a nendo Petit Yuri in the first Angel Beats set.
I’m currently looking for Dengeki G’s Festival Vol.17 pre-orders for the Yuri dakimakura. Only amiami have it up and it’s sold out
