  1. My question was directly related to the VF-1S TV Hikaru.. which was getting shipped minus the fast packs for the reason stated above. They bundled my CF 1J and Hikki TV 1S in the same package, but held the fastpacks. When I inquired why this was the response I got.
  2. So interesting email from KC Customer Service. So what does this hint to? Possible Fast Pack V1.5?
  3. Kaguya S3 is outright crushing it. I fell behind and I am trying to catch up. Yes it is, I highly recommend the manga. So I went back and pulled a title from my shelf which I had mixed reviews on when I first watched it. Infinite Ryvius a Bandai release from the early 00's Very much a lord of the flies in space, but with a Rando Anime girl in it, which really does not make any sense. I am about halfway through it, and it gets REALLY dark.. to the point of where I don't remember any of this.. lol I am hoping to have it completed this week, the OP theme is stuck in my head.. definitely an ear worm.
  4. So just for giggles and sh*ts I went and found the manga for "Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu" and decided to read abit of it, to see if the flavor is any different. And boy is it ever! I don't wanna spoil it, but the MC REALLY hates the world he ended up in, as I mentioned previously the world is radically different from Western society with Women at the top and Men most of the time not even rating. This becomes really apparent early on and the MC grows incredibly bitter because of it. Lots of the events that take place transition to the anime medium exceptionally poorly, a good example is the Queen comes to the academy and if you go by the anime the MC is just a rando douche. If you go by the manga the scene is given its proper subtext and while the MC is still being a douche it is somewhat justified. I think the manga is still not something I would recommend, but its does give proper subtext to many of his more questionable choices and why he acts the way he does. The anime like usual cuts out way too much subplot and makes him look far worse then he is. Still even with all that I would say its one of the worse selections this season. Yuusha Yamemasu is still boring, not sure why the group is sticking with it.
  5. Items from KC generally come right to my doorstep. And generally (knocks on wood) have been pretty fast. I would expect my package in 7-10 days. Customs at least for me is pretty quick.
  6. Last episode was pretty good, but would make no sense to the casual viewer. The theme was Trauma.. And if you haven't played Clannad your not going to get the Akio & Sanae skit. As for the entire cast of Little Busters freaking out.. that was dark.. but made me laugh.
  7. I think context is needed here though.. the world that the MC is in is a Female dominated matriarchal society. Men are disposable and are treated very poorly. You can't really make the above statements without stating this fact. However.. I do agree this series is pretty bad and its MC is pretty terrible. Between getting preachy to others for doing what he himself is doing, and just generally being an A-hole. His Ai orb thing reminds him of that regularly.
  8. Been off the radar abit on my search for 86 Series.. still looking for perceptor. Did finally find blue and silver colored Silver Streak, and a Cliff Jumper.
  9. Went to Wallyworld, was looking for Arcade 1up stuff and found Hothead Harvey.. Metallic repaint.. chase version? Still need to find me a Roy Bot.
  10. Yeah, my email asked me how you wanted to ship. Seemed to be Surface (free) or $22 for express. Standard shipping option apparently is still not available from HK to US.
  11. I can't comment about Miss Kuroitsu as I did not watch it. If its worth a watch I may go back and find it. But your spot on about Love After World Domination, I think the manga does a better job with the overall pace, and while I am enjoying the anime I keep getting distracted by what is getting cut out, but they are doing much out of order so it may just yet come around only being 3 episodes in. I'm still on the fence with Otome game.. its not terrible but without spoilers the MC is pretty unlikeable in the manga. While Yuusha Yamemasu is just boring.
  12. I think Angel Beats saved Kaginado. 2 episodes in and I already think its beating Season 1 by leaps and bounds. Go check out the manga, I am enjoying the anime, but content is getting skipped. For obvious time constraint reasons..
  13. I have way too much on my viewing plate at this point of the season, and no immediate drops,... yet. I'm liking Skull Knight, and Spy x Family, Otome game and Yuusha, Yamemasu are probably the closest to the trash pile at this stage. And without stating the obvious Kaguya S3 is knocking it out of the park again.
  14. So KC is moving into the destroids.. nice. Might be willing to keep going depending on pricing.
  15. wow, what did they do poll a random middle school? In all seriousness none of those titles even remotely interest me, but the shonen jump formula is all the rage. Watched the first episode of Shield Hero season 2. Anyone else forget who the green haired girl was when the season first started.. lol. And yes there was cringe in the 1st episode so at least its staying the course.
  16. Wrapped Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki Part 2, the final episode was more or less a capstone, however 1 very big plot element gets revealed which in hindsight does explain some of the more unique choices earlier on. With how they put FIN on the last episode pretty much puts a nail in the lid to any additional content getting animated outside of OVAs or a movie. My viewing groups big event this weekend was a screening of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train. And probably for the first time since the "idiocy" hit in 2019 pretty much all 24 of us were in 1 location to watch this. I'll be honest its been a little while since I watched any of this series, so I had to go back and get a refresher on it. I thought that this was a pretty good capstone to the First Season and overall I think the movie was done fairly well. I know nothing of the season(s) after these events and no plan on moving forward unless I get dragged into it. I'm taking notes on what to check out next season.. Aharen-san wa Hakarenai and Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu are apparently on the group viewing list already, but I don't know anything about either.
  17. I remember having the green motorcycle and the Jeep with the boat in it as a kid. Lost the boat and the jeep is still kicking around in storage somewhere. A few years back at a yard sale I found the 57 chevy complete with its box for cheap. Thanks to this post I at least know what they are called now. lol
  18. So 2 more series are out of the way, both I have some mixed views on some good some bad. Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu, Overall I was impressed by this series however towards the end I thought the series really started to falter. The last episode might be the biggest of these faults.. most likely because they needed to wrap up a story arc that should have probably been a start of a 2nd season and there probably is not one coming which is sad. While not as rushed of a finale like say Charlotte.. which IMO still holds the record for most amount of cramming in 1 episode, but even with that said this leads me into the next on my list. Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou 2nd Season, where to even begin with this series. While in the end not as bad as I expected it to turn out (referring to my half way summary) I can't in all fairness say it was any good either. I know this series had quite the following in my viewing group so I managed to stick with it, and while it got better in the end, it took less then 2 episodes to squander all it had and return to blah. The last episode also suffered heavily from a bad case of the crams.. so much so they needed to go back and remind the viewer of what happened in case you blinked and missed it. The ending was probably the worst that this season had to offer, I really and I stress this really was hoping that this was the end of this series. BUT.. they announced an OVA.. huzzah or something.
  19. So with this season sun setting.. time to do some updates.. My picks for Winter 2022 are a toss up between Princess Connect ReDive even with its over the top feeling like studio Gainax/Trigger ending. And of course Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru. Both series kept me entertained the whole time. I'd love to see more of both which is a possibility with Sono Bisque. Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 3 also is up there, probably just a little behind the other 2. I would highly recommend this series if you have not watched the other 2 seasons already. Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki Part 2, Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu, and Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou 2nd Season all have 1 more episode to go before they wrap and I will adress them then.
  20. I concur.. Netflix took something that in all fairness started good, and turned it into Woketron! Legendary Lameness.. I have very little faith in anything put out anymore... even less if Netflix gets it.
  21. I think it was pretty good, needed a rewatch IMO in order to bring things out fully. This is also a series that requires you to watch the movie to tie up certain loose threads.
  22. I watched the final 2 episodes of the 2nd season of 86. They were done really well, damn shame the rest of the 2nd season was not on this level. Overall I still think 86 was a good series, even with the production foibles.
  23. Meh, I'm not sold on it, but its not bad looking either. I am still waiting on the 1/12 fokker cockpit to be released. I wouldn't pre-order anything else until they play catch up.
  24. BananaRama Lives.. I had to make some changes to make it functional for its intended use. Hopefully the charity drive moves forward this year after getting axed due to covid 2 years in a row. But with current gas prices I'm expecting to need to sell a kidney or mortgage the house to make it to FL and back.
