Anime chess sets?

Postby Uriah » Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:32 am

Anyone know where a person could buy anime themed chess sets? I have found some cool gundam ones, but only one is a full set....

Soo.. Any ideas?

They sell CLAMP themed chess sets in your run of the mill bookstores nowadays. The drawback is you have to buy multiple books/boxes to get all the chess peices, since they come 3 to a box. ^^;

There's always the game Navia Dratp. It's anime-themed, although I don't think it's actually chess--just plays somewhat like it.
To all, life thou givest, to both great and small.
In all life, thou livest, the true life of all.
We blossom and flourish as leaves on a tree
And wither and perish, but naught changeth thee.

That's a lot of fun to play with.

Osaka: You can't put your queen there!
Yumie: Why not!?
Osaka: 'Cause the rook piece we don't have is there!
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I'd get CLAMP no Kiseki for the adorable lil' chess pieces... but the price is mind-blowing (although I REALLY shouldn't be surprised, concidering the anime industry... still...)

Yea.. I've seen those, but I don't think I would want a clamp themed chess set. I'm looking for something a little more military and less cutesy. :P
