  1. Not sure what to say about this.. there are a handful of companies I despise more then HG. Di$ney is one of them. Probably gonna keep on sailing the high seas for my Macross fix.
  2. Did a quick scan of https://www.livechart.me/spring-2024/tv A few titles stand out. As mention previously 3rd season of Konosuba.. The Megumin centered one was a flop. 3rd season of Slime.. still haven't watched the 2nd.. Date Alive V.. I don't have high hopes. Spice and Wolf reboot... why? Duke of Death 3rd season.. The CGI is still terrible, they should be nearing the end here considering everything they skipped in S2.
  3. Amazon and Target also have the original TV series communicators going for $15. https://www.target.com/p/star-trek-original-series-classic-communicator/-/A-88725522?clkid https://www.amazon.com/Playmates-Star-Trek-Original-Communicator/dp/B0CHX6XTKJ Beats $80 for the Diamond Select one..
  4. I haven't proceeded with Metallic Rouge past whatever episode I mentioned previously. It was a disjointed mess and it sounds like it still is. I keep seeing Witch Hunter Robin mentioned over and over.. its been a looooong while since I have see that one. A Bandai America release from the early 00's. From what I remember of it, I never understood why Robin was turning against her own kind. Even more so that her team hated Witches and disliked her.. the premise just seemed off. I don't remember it being particularly bad, but it wasn't good either.
  5. It can be at points.. One of Gainax last gasps before splitting to the winds. The series has its moments, and I enjoyed the movies as well.
  6. Don't worry I'm sure it will do fine touting "The Message". I just think it be great to watch something without having to be bludgeoned over and over again with it.
  7. So now I cannot unsee the tabs.. just like the KC valks..
  8. Let me be clear.. I really want it not to be a Dumpster fire, but unless you've been living under a rock, or in your parents basement with no internet one does not need to look very far. I'll start with West World then... First 2 seasons teetered beetween ok and good but never great.. the 3rd and... how'd that turn out again? The Lord of the Rings reboot.. yeah nuff said He-Man reboot? anyone? What I find amusing is how Amazon is touting this Fallout series with the headline about its the same writers from West World..
  9. I did not, will need to go check the video.. Multi color variants are a good idea, especially if you invest in a mold and want to milk what you can out of it.
  10. This is one of those that I want to enjoy, but there will be no way I ever will. Guaranteed Dumpster fire, best it can do is be meh in this current age we live in.
  11. I leave for a few days and miss a bunch of stuff.. typical. I like the variants on the GBP armor sets.. would be cool to see several color variations. Max figure looks promising.. lots of pooh, poohing on the cloth.. maybe.. but considering the alternative is old Matchbox or the the Fugly Toynami figures.. this is quite the improvement. I do agree though that the cloth is jank, rather would see the standard plastic like they did with Hikaru and Roy. They still need to catch up and put something out before they get anymore $$ from me.
  12. Quite literally. Not a series I would recommend for the average anime fan but an experience either way.
  13. So abit OT buy any good price guide sites for these newer TF toys? I plan on slimming down the hoard..
  14. Great question.. on a plus side when KC ships something I get it very quickly.. like DHL quickly. Is the price from HK that much higher then say Japan? I order from Amiami and use DHL and its not this expensive and bigger items..
  15. I'm holding until they "catch up" and release what I have had on order for 2+ years. I agree that shipping costs are a joke.
  16. I started Solo Leveling, seems ok so far I am only 3 episodes in so 4 more to go to get current. Also wanted to mention Sasaki to Pii-chan at first did not know what to think, but lately I caught up and I am enjoying it.
  17. I'm going back a season and watching Ai no Idenshi. Its been on my to do list for awhile, with much of this season very meh..
  18. I totally missed those, we can all hope that eventually they see the light of day.. just like everything else I have on pre-order with them.
  19. @Return To Kit Form Man that is terrible. Even worse when its no fault of your own. @Seto Kaiba I don't foresee this being a win for Dodge. The sound it makes is laughable and unnecessary, if your gonna make an EV make it an EV. I spent last summer at several east coast drag strips watching stripped teslas blow the doors off other cars. There is interest, by some but I'll pass. My charger turns 55 this year.. and its still going strong.. Where will this one be in 55 years?
  20. Thank god! my wallet gets a reprieve this time around. Nice to see they are finally releasing the Dana figure.. now they need to play catch up on other things on pre order.. just sayin.
  21. The Purple GOF release is probably my favorite overall KC paint schema.. outside of maybe the original Dark Gold and Black.. which is also pretty sharp.
  22. Speaking of Metallic Rouge.. What the hell is going on with this series? Its drawing from several other similar Sci Fi series.. with hints of BGC, Blade Runner, even some GITS. But its missing a key element. 3 episodes in and its motivations are about as clear as mud.
  23. 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.
  24. 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!.
  25. 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.
