  1. Just playing catchup having been OL for abit. This must have arrived around the week of 7/4 finally got around to opening it up, and I like it. This might be my favorite of the figures released so far.
  2. Finished Odd Taxi and I was pleasantly surprised. Probably the breakout of this past season. Also sat through a viewing session of 86 last night. Overall not bad, but not great either. I need to catch the ending but that won't be until later this month.
  3. As this season is pretty much over I'll update what I covered so far. Megalo Box 2.. dropped, lost interest. Hige o Soru. Soshite Joshikousei o Hirou.. I think this series tried for too much drama and emotional impact, but not enough time to build the viewer on it. I think the mother, and the interactions at what was supposed to be a climax could best be described as "The ending for lack of a better term was a cuck" as quoted from my anime watching group. Ijiranaide Nagatoro-san.. I think this series suicided during the first few episodes, ultimately the latter episodes did kind well to balance it out but overall still a bad adaptation of the source material. Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu Omega.. no change to what I said previously Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka.. Spider parts are enjoyable. Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai LoveCome... I think this is the only series still going, luckily for me I will miss the finale. Waste of time. Slime Taoshite 300-nen Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita.. Vanilla.. with a dash of Yuri if your into that thing. SSSS.Dynazenon.... Well the links to Gridman are clearly evident. I didn't like it, and I didn't dislike it. I would watch more if they do more, if that counts for anything. Zombie Land Saga Revenge.. As I said earlier the high point of an otherwise meh anime season. I did not expect much but it performed better then expected, surprising as I could care less about any Idol shows. Bonus content... I just started watching Odd Taxi because the same anime group refuses to shut up about it. I am about 6 episodes in currently. I can see why people got into it, once you get over the whole "Richard Scarry" books thing it has going on. It's managed to keep my interest to the point where I can watch multiple episodes in a sitting and that speaks volumes for this season. Lets hope it can stick the ending.
  4. @David Hingtgen First guess would also be the power supply. Typically the culprit of most overall weird shenanigans with a PC. I would get a meter out and test voltages.. however it wont test load, You can build something to do that, but Voltages usually give it away. 2nd.. for the switch, what type? Again if you suspect the switch attach a lead from a multimeter to each end and test for continuity. You might also get lucky and spray some electrical contact cleaner in there and it resolves itself... if the switch if flaky.
  5. Demon Slayer was one of the few "popular" anime titles I actually enjoyed watching. I still haven't seen the movie, was out in theaters but all the restrictions they had in place soured me of that option. This season, my standout title was Zombieland Saga Revenge. I ended up enjoying that way more then I should have. Another surprise for me was Slime Diaries as I enjoyed the laid back vibe it gave off. I still haven't gotten very far is S2 of Slime as it just turned me off.
  6. I've been happy with these releases, I think the only one I did not end up getting was the unpainted release, probably cause there are only 12 of them. As for Macross Frontier.. meh, the same with Delta. I would not rule it out, but not my thing.
  7. no kidding! I am not even a big fan of Mac 7, but these look good I'll bite. ended up going the amiami route.
  8. Has there been any word on the smaller 1/12 cockpit releases? Been a little while since they asked for payment, I figured it would have released by now.
  9. Is this line dead? I haven't heard of any new releases. Shame if that is the case, I really enjoyed the releases.
  10. I got this early this morning.. Dear Customer, Good news! Our 1/12 Action Figure Series - Roy Fokker will be available soon. Please double check and revert to confirm your delivery information. The parcel will be sent only after your confirmation is received. Besides, please be reminded that our free shipping packaging does not include any extra carton box, unless you have already selected packaging upgrade when placing the preorder or ordered more than 1 unit. We will put 8 plastic protective corners and then wrap the box with plastic bubble sheet before putting into vinyl shipping bag. If you want extra protection to the packaging boxes and would like to have an additional carton box, we can arrange. But recently, as HK Post has increased the postage fees by more than double, we can't afford any free upgrade and have to impose the following surcharges per unit: Asia USD4.00 Australia USD5.00 US USD6.00 Europe USD8.00 Others USD10.00 Look forward to your reply. Regards, Kitzconcept
  11. So at this point I would say we probably reached the halfway point of the season.. so some updates. Megalo Box 2... meh. I admit I am behind on this series. I think they have Ep 7 out as I type this. I am at Ep 5 and this season has none of the spark that made the first one so good. Hige o Soru. Soshite Joshikousei o Hirou.. This is a newcomer for me, as I was introduced to it via my extended group of Anime nerds.. I went in thinking this is Hentai Fodder, and its not. I am liking where this is headed.. I am currently on Ep 6. Ijiranaide Nagatoro-san.. My opinion of this series has not changed. If it wasn't for the manga I would have probably kicked this to the curb. Female Lead is just comes off as an outright c****. Her Friends make her look better but not by much. At least the manga showed her inner thoughts when things got crazy. Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu Omega.. Again nothing new here, Fan service in search of a plot. While not a bad thing his Edge lord style character is ruined when he can't handle himself around women. It's almost as the first season never existed. Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka.. Spider parts are enjoyable. Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai LoveCome... Pass. The only reason why I am current with this series is because the same aforementioned group gets together and watches this garbage. Slime Taoshite 300-nen Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita... Pretty vanilla series right here. Another Isekai Edge Lord series just this time the lead is a woman. I don't dislike it, but its not really a stand out either. SSSS.Dynazenon.... I still don't know where they are going with this. Just recently it got linked to Gridman, but I think its still struggling to tell a story. The 8 year old me would have been screaming best this ever.. the adult me is like get to the point already. Zombie Land Saga Revenge.. Probably the best title of this season of what I have covered. On Ep6 and the Tae episode was great. Overall this season is pretty meh. Last season probably ruined me for abit with all the good series out at 1 time.
  12. Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai LoveCome - Just started this one, the childhood friend is thirsty... Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu Omega - The first season of this pretty much relied on some over the top fan service. Mostly revolving around a top heavy elf.. not that there is anything wrong with that mind you. But in all fairness I am not expecting much from this season, 2 episodes in and they discarded 2 of the more interesting characters, lets hope not for the full season. Ijiranaide Nagatoro-san - I don't have high hopes for this as an anime adaption. Facial expressions are comically exaggerated even more then the manga. And Nagatoro comes off like a sadistic bitch after just 2 episodes. At least the manga had the ability to give you some insight as to how she really feels. SSSS.Dynazenon - not sure about this one, not really into the genre as a whole but Gridman was very well done. As another studio trigger anime I have higher hopes.
  13. So since this season is gonna be slow, I am going back through some of the ones I missed from last season. Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi... Honestly I am 4 episodes in and its nothing to write home about, I'll probably stick it out cause it managed to piss off all the right people. Slime 2nd Season.. 2 episodes in. So far so good as long as it doesn't slog it should be fine. And since i finally got my copy of Mad Bull 34 on DVD.. why not.
  14. Very much a mixed bag, TBH the spider parts are entertaining. The Human parts are just another generic Isekai..
  15. Yup it was a good series. The only real negative I am hearing is that so much content was cut, apparently some pretty major events are skipped entirely.
  16. Well with this season wrapped up, I am finally catching up, and even starting a few that caught my eye but have not had a chance to see. Wrapped Higurashi.. I admit I am easily biased as I am a big fan of the game. I keep seeing debates about this version and the previous animated version. Honestly I enjoyed both, it did take some time to adjust to the new character designs.. but it was worth a watch. Wrapped Horimiya.. This was a good rom-com.. I would put it up there with Saekano, but it was pretty rushed at points many people complaining about cut content. I guess I will need to read the manga at some point. Making progress with Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi. Alot of people bashing this series is what drew me to it. I like it. We shall see how it plays out. Almost wrapped Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka.. or at least the 1st cour of it. Very Meh overall, If I can wrap this cour up I will think about the next one. I am also getting around to watching the 4th and 5th season of the Tenchi Muyo OVA's. I am sooo lost. I recognize most of the characters but it has been sooo long since I actually followed this franchise that I can't remember who is what. I did like the emergence of characters from Dual Trouble Adventure, Which I would recommend if you can find it anyplace. Wrapped up Quintuplets and another title that came out of nowhere that I enjoyed. The ending is still pretty muddled but the cat is out of the bag on who he ends up with anyway. Nino is still best girl. I am about to dive into World Egg.. mostly because everyone is telling me its dark and twisted.. and TBH what is not to like about that!
  17. I may be back in the area in July.. of course smack in the middle of the hottest time to be in Vegas.
  18. Finished Quintuplets S2.. I enjoyed this season as much as the first one. They still don't tell you which one he ends up with though.. even though its pretty clear in the manga.
  19. Just wrapped S2 of ReZero.. I have to admit the 2nd season was better then the first. And that was a hard sell for me, I did not want to watch S2 out of fear it would collapse on itself like Slime or Overlord. Also finishing up a rewatch of Cowboy Bebop, sitting on the final 2 episodes and decided to watch the movie first. All in all while CB was a good series, I think there are other examples from that period in time (late 90's early 00's) that don't get the recognition that CB did. I will give CB credit for being 1 of a handful of titles I enjoy the dub for, and that list is VERY short.
  20. Found these at the local wally world. Toy pickings are pretty slim as most of the TF stuff is cleared out, been following the G1 reissues when I can find them and have had pretty good luck. From what I can tell there are 2 waves of these out, and I am missing 2 of them but not bad for a random trip.
  21. I have been enjoying ReZero, it along with Erased are probably the 2 most recent anime series that have not really been forgettable in the past few years. There are others, but none that I can think of recently that I would say I got pulled into. This brings me to Horimiya Ep 9.. this series is continuing to be a good watch. Next up is to catch up on Higurashi.
  22. So I was checking KC website, and I see that the Roy Figure is no longer listed as Pre-Order. Did I miss this release? I have it on order, did anyone else get theirs yet?
  23. Every time I look at one of these toys I am reminded of the Banpresto VF-1 A/J/S releases from back in the 00's
