    Watched the 2nd Gurren Lagann Movie "The Lights in the Sky are Stars" in Theatres last night. Overall whether you enjoy it or not depends on if you enjoyed GL to begin with. Both movies are largely stripped down retellings of the events of the TV series. With the endings on both going completely off the rails. I could nitpick here and there but overall it was enjoyable and I was not dissapointed. Theatrically speaking the next 2 "anime" movies coming to theatres is the FF 7 Advent Children movie, and Paprika. I'll probably go see Paprika because I like Satoshi Kon movies.. but the FF7 movie is an easy pass, was boring when it released.. boring now.

    The amount skipped just revolving around the Marriage arc and Vol 7 really left a bad taste in my mouth about season 2. The whole Demon Hand arc is just left on the cutting room floor with the climax and resolution pretty much all that is left. Different studios handle things in different ways, first season was White Fox, which has done good work in the past but also some stinkers. Liden Films animated Season 2, I don't know a whole lot about this studio.. quick google search shows them credited with several series I have seen, Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor, Kaginado, Call of the Night, and The Legendary Hero Is Dead!.

    Came back from a Screening of the First Gurren Lagann Movie.. Childhood's end. I have seen the TV series, but never watched the movies. It was nice, a recap of the first half and it stops right before the battle with the Spiral King. It does go off the rails at the end, which is understandable considering they are trying to compress all of it into a movie. 2nd Gurren Lagann movie is getting a screening next week, The lights in the sky are stars. Also Cowboy Bebop Movie is getting a screening early next week, if nothing is going on I might go see that as well.

    I decided to give Oshi no Ko a watch, just got passed the first 1:20 episode.. was more like a movie. This is dark, I never would have guessed this is from the same person who did Kaguya Sama Love is war. Apparently S2 coming in 2024..

    So did a speedrun through Tsuki ga Michibuku Isekai.. and meh. Its not terrible but not that great either, the MC is not very bright and it shows. S2 is gonna be rough I think.

    Nice, I'd love to find a Firehawk WS6 that was not beat all to hell, these cars had the snot beat out of them, and then were left to rot. I've been doing alot of reading to try and bridge the gap on what I need to know about vintage GM. I am a Mopar guy, but with that Caprice I need to learn up real quick.

    This season is looking pretty dull so far, other then Frieren and the 2nd Season from Banished from the Heroes Party that's the jist of it. My group is planning on watching S2 of Tsuki ga Michibuku Isekai, and I never watched S1 so doing a quick run through to catch up. Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha is also apparently on this list. As well as Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete. I largely agree with @Seto Kaiba on Demon Slayer I've only seen up to and including Mugen Train. It did not hold my interest enough to go past it. Most shounen anime tend to make me lose interest rather quickly. I will give it credit that I got through the first season and movie.

    Several things actually. I am the 2nd owner as the car belonged to my grandfather. Mileage is suspect, but I have paperwork so the Odo might be more correct then I think. Short term is to give it a once over and repair or replace the things that need addressing, luckily most of the parts from the Impala will work on this, with the Caprice specific parts being harder to locate. Eventually the car will be repainted back to its original factory colors.. which was Dusk Blue, with a Blue or White Vinyl Roof (still looking at build codes on it to be certain) Gramps had abit of a lead foot and the motor was reworked in the 90s, this car is no slouch considering its the same motor found in the Camaro and Vette of the time period.

    And now its in my hands.. at last! 1969 Caprice, Factory 427, hideaway headlights and AC. Its been slumbering for some time and I've got some work ahead of me. Big Motor.. Tiny Air cleaner.... lol smooth movie Genius Gone!

    I think so? Looking at my other orders it appears to be that way unless I missed something. I think the only pre-order I was NOT in was for the Dana figure.
  11. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I just took a look at my order history, and surprisingly its not worse.. Oldest open Pre Order I have with KC is the 1/72 GBP armor from 3/2001. After that its the Regult (2022), and the Max and Millia metallic with figures from 2023. I thought it was worse, but its enough for me to pause pre orders till they play catch up.
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    My wayward KC AB 1A arrived today.. #035 looks good.
  13. Stampeed Valkyrie
    They are very similar, close enough so that it fits in rather nicely. As for KC customer service, yeah your probably going to need to hound them now. I have been ignored a few times as well.
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    well apparently my KC AB 1A was seperated from the 1J. I am looking at tracking and it looks like USPS has it taking a grand tour up and down the east coast. Gotta love it.
  15. Stampeed Valkyrie
    a day late but it arrived.
  16. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Santa dropped this off a day late.. First KC release I have seen that has started putting the limited number on the front landing gear doors. No misprints or other obvious typos that I can see. I have the 1A on order apparently not released yet.

    So Fall 2023 is wrapping... I am still watching a few series but I dropped a few as well. Sousou no Frieren - Great series, starts out really slow and does pick up abit later on. This series is very much a slow burn, but I love it. My pick for Best of this season. SPY x FAMILY Season 2 - Another series that did not disappoint, I would assume that this is more coming as people keep telling me to to read the manga. Runner up pick for Best of the Fall showings. Helck - Objectively this series really never had a proper direction, was it serious, was it trying to be funny? Ended up dropping during the long stint of whoa is me episodes starting around episode 15. GOBLIN SLAYER II - TBH disappointing. There was plenty of material there to flesh out a decent 2nd season. Compared to the first this was trash, mostly due to pacing, and the amount of cut content. The ending Demon Hand arc had so much cutout that it could have been its own season.. rather then what 2 episodes? Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari Season 3 - Better then season 2, but its lost its way. I don't even know why the Cardinal Heroes exist now, with all the sub heroes and apparently a nation of randos that negate the Heroes abilities.. Stupid, Silly, and Pointless.... mix that in any order and that sums up S3. Mahou Tsukai no Yome Season 2 Cour 2 - Kinda stretched on this one, overall its not as bad as some other titles this season (shield hero) but it took way too long to get to anything worth of interest. I stuck with it because of comments made on here about it all setting up the finale. The finale was good, but even it couldn't cover the lackluster finale to the 2nd season. I still prefer the 1st half of the first season.. Saihate no Paladin: Tetsusabi no Yama no Ou - In the end not bad actually. Another slow burn series, but this one was much better paced. I'd stick around for another season if they decide to do it.. I have a few others on the back burner and I probably missed some others. S Summary for the TLDR folks.. Frieren is awesome Best of this season.. with Spy Family close behind.

    I just got an email notification stating that the Angel Birds VFs have shipped.
  19. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Let's be real, it was that Epic Sax that defeated the Marduk in M2... lol
  20. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Largely depends on the release. For the most part its acceptable, I have only had 1 real issue with the Rick TV 1S. It was a tampo misprint and they ended up sending me a replacement. I would be the first to say that KC Customer Service is pretty responsive, but with MY moving on their Customer Service has taken a total crap. Might be my luck, but I have asked several questions and never gotten a response.

    My Xmas present arrived early.. ended up picking up 2 of the low viz KC 1A/S valks. And 1 of the Fokker 1S "Special Color" because apparently my old man eyes still didn't get what the special color was. After seeing it in person its pretty obvious, but will fit in nicely with the low viz valks. Both of the low viz valks read 003 on the sides, and there is no indication of limited run on these anywhere. The "Special Color" Version of the Fokker TV 1S
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Goal was already met, that was fast. I am in on this one, even though IMO Macross 2 had some... imperfections..
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I got nagged into finally completing Bofuri.. complete slog for me.
  24. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Is this PO? If so I'm gonna hit the brakes on this. KC already has alot of my $$ for pre-orders that they need to put out. No more $$ until they start playing catch up..
  25. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Yeah this is a big fat NOPE from me. What is this a Sentai Valk team? Seems like it harkens back to the joons days.
