  1. Past hour
  2. It was spell checked, supposed to be ship not shop. Spell check is my biggest nemesis it has cute lil feet
  3. I'm not sure what you're referring to, unless the character Hawk had a shop. I vaguely remember the character let alone much else about him. I know the actor who played him, Thom Christopher, passed away in 2024. RIP
  4. To be fair, I feel like the unusually low altitude of that particular bar owes a lot to the fact that most of the fantasy anime produced in the last couple years has been isekai. Edginess doesn't really pay dividends when it's cringeworthy Godmode Sue MC power fantasy like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Re:Monster, etc. Thanks for the heads up. I have a feeling I'll probably decide to pass on Clevatess S2. Clevatess S1 has already pretty much lost me. As of episode 8, it really feels like the author of Clevatess didn't really know what to do with the story after the protagonist gets back to civilization. The evil Human wizards would be an enormous downgrade from the dark beasts as a plot-driving antagonist even if they weren't all flat characters. Bug Guy and Magneto from Wish.com somehow manage to be less intimidating than the bandits from a few episodes back, and the angry mob they find to do their bidding isn't even a patch on them. I genuinely had to stop for a minute almost right away because one nameless extra goes on this weirdly specific and emotionally charged rant about how the Heroes ain't sh*t because their weapons and armor were paid for with tax dollars and all they do is kill unstoppable man-eating monsters no-one else can fight instead of doing real work like tree farming, logging, and construction. It's clearly meant to be a rousing speech in context, and he clearly intends it as a grievous insult to Alicia, but it's such a bizarre and nonsensical pronouncement from this random background character that it took me right out of the story and left me laughing and Alicia doesn't even acknowledge that someone is talking to her. There are some good ideas here, and some good world building... but as strong as it started it wasn't able to keep it up more than a few episodes.
  5. Today
  6. Yep thx that's it, ill keep an eye out!
  7. I'm heading out tomorrow morning before work to pick up Studio Series Windcharger and Airachnid. I'm hoping that the new Thundercracker is there also.
  8. To be fair, she is drunk
  9. Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! remained a pretty fun series to the end. Not terribly substantial by any means, but it never failed to be entertaining in a cute sort of way. My watch group finished up The Apothecary Diaries S2 last night. They had a pretty good time with it, and the promise of a two-part Season 3 in October 26/April 27 and an original film around December 26 was definitely well-received. Solo Camping for Two also ended this week. I won't miss it. It's a terrible ambassador for the hobby it's meant to be promoting and its attempt to liven up what's basically a camping equipment infomercial starring a low-functioning alcoholic with a romance subplot founded on a threat of a false rape accusation lands exactly as poorly as you'd think. The animation is unmistakably cheap start-to-finish, and it feels like they only made it to two cour by making most of the series pan-shots across static frames.
  10. From the looks of the trailer...
  11. I'm planning on running out tomorrow to get a few last minute stocking stuffers and more wrapping paper, but I'm not hopeful.
  12. Despite how little I care about Mezco anymore I went ahead and ordered Shredder to match the Turtles.
  13. My Sentinels have shipped. https://www.hasbropulse.com/product/marvel-legends-series-xmen-97-marvels-sentinel/G06525L00 Also available again but for a higher price.
  14. The Hawk shop is pretty memorable and weird
  15. Found Soundwave at Target. I'm ok without Blast Off and Brawl for now since I won't be able to form Bruticus yet anyway. Happy to have Soundwave right in time for Christmas.
  16. Given that ILM, or former members thereof, worked on the models, they shared a lived-in, used aesthetic that gave them a realism never before seen in previous sci-fi, Kubrick's 2001 : A Space Odyssey notwithstanding. Too, I think a lot of ILM's other tricks were used, or copied, to make the motions of the ships look more realistic and dynamic. I don't recall any space fighter scenes from Buck Rogers (I may have missed the eps when they occurred, but I've seen pics of Rogers' ship over the years- it is cool). However, the Viper launch scenes from BSG are forever etched in my memory- happily so.
