    I am definitely enjoying this season far more then last season.. Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu is much better then I anticipated. I figured it would be much more generic and more of a clone of the next series on my list, however I think it has surpassed it in no less then 5 episodes. Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki S2... I am also enjoying this series however not as much as the above mentioned title. I think the manga handled certain scenes much better overall, and I also think that S1 was stronger so far. Being 5 episodes in I am hoping this series gets some of its past spark back. Princess Connect! Re-Dive S2.. I am really enjoying this series, probably far better then I should be normally. I thought the first season was well executed for a Mobile Game anime, and so far S2 has not let me down. Worth a watch for a lighter slice of Moe adventure anime. Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru.. Probably my pick for #1 this season, with Princess Connect Re-Dive right behind it. I knew what I was getting into that to the manga, hopefully this series executes as well as the manga did. High hopes for this one! Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san S3.. Also enjoying this one, even had a brief glimpse into the future with this last episode. The Mrs. enjoys this title as well and the formula has worked for them so far. I really should read further into the manga as it was also enjoyable. The Meh.. Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou S2.. First season was not as spectacular as people were raving about, but it was especially popular in our viewing group. I was surprised it got a sequel so quickly. The group still seems to like it, so far still getting fairly high praise. However watching it starts to feel like a chore and its usually then I that I "clock out" I probably will stick it through since the whole group seems inclined to stick with it. The Ugly.. Girl's Frontline.. I don't think we made it past the 2nd episode and it was dropped. If it gets better let me know and I will try to watch it again. Shuumatsu no Harem.. I seriously want to watch this title because of the vitriol it garners but it's really difficult and the black lines... uggh. I am on Ep 3 and.. just no.

    These just arrived today... As for the current issues, I am more likely interested in seeing what the fast packs look like when I attempt to mount them. I at least plan on doing that to the Cannon Fodder 1A, and eventually Max and Millia when they get released. The tabs on the legs now cannot be "unseen" and I am not sure what problem they were trying to address by doing this.

    I'm still waiting on Fokker 1S V2 and Cannon Fodder
  4. Stampeed Valkyrie
    2 of them arrived today. I would expect the other 2 Fokker 1S and Cannon Fodder to show up anyday now. I kind of miss the fact that there is no Janky 80s style art on these boxes.

    @jvmacross Very cool, mine are also apparently en route.. glad to see they are arriving. Now to point out something that MY said to me in the last email correspondence.. I was given the option to hold on the Roy VF-1S v2 because they noted this as a possible problem. Looking at the pictures @jvmacross posted it really doesn't look all that bad. TBH is not really noticeable unless someone points it out. KC plans on addressing this issue in their next batch for those wondering.

    I am hoping it stays true to the manga, I'm nowhere near current on it, but I enjoyed what I have read so far.
  8. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I just did the same thing. I was debating the V2 Roy but went for it.. I already have all the other limited run versions anyway. Where are my SD valks!.. lol the whole reason why I started.

    Wow Lost Universe.. I remember seeing that popup on ADV films forced previews along with other titles like Gasaraki and Princess 9 or whatever other series they were trying to promote. It was nothing to write home about, I don't remember it being terrible, other then ADV voice acting.. if you watched it dub. Was pretty much Slayers in Space.. Group picked up Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu from last season. Did the unusual and binged the first 6 episodes last night. It is a silly mostly stupid comedy, with that said it is entertaining.

    So I figured I gave this enough time to cool down a little bit and give it a watch. I got to the 3rd episode and I have hit a wall, I do eventually plan on moving forward but at this stage I think I have seen enough to see the point of some the more critical viewpoints. 1.) The first time I saw Vicious I literally laughed out loud. 2.) Faye is not Faye.. honestly with how much they have tried to mirror things it very much seems like the director or actress does not understand the character or needs better direction on how to play her. 3.) Jet has a wife and Kids? and Chalmers is with his replacement? C'mon man this is as funny as Vicious. At this stage, it very much feels like they are trying too hard. I love the opening, and I am enjoying the music in general. I think they have done a pretty good job so far on backgrounds and CG visuals. I could nitpick abit here and there, but I keep repeating this is not an Anime.

    There are a few titles on my radar for Winter 2022.. Arifureta is on it but on a short leash, it could easily pull the other slime series on me in the 2nd season and get dropped and forgotten. Realist Hero... looks promising, was into it enough to read some of the source material. Shuumatsu no Harem.. TBH it was already pissing people off. so it gets a watch by default. Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru.. I am familiar with the manga and I liked it. So on my list it goes. Princess Connect! Re:Dive Season 2... First season was entertaining, so why not. Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 3.. A rare series that the Mrs. enjoys. She knows its coming as I keep getting asked about it. There are a few more on the list that my group wants to check out.. like every season the list starts big.. and then gets whittled down to a handful a few episodes in.
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Not even close, a back story that could have been shortened to 2 episodes tops.. not 6 or 7. It held my interest, but much like other titles this season nothing to rave about.
  13. Stampeed Valkyrie
    It was definitely one of the few series I followed through to completion. But you hit upon one of my biggest issues with this series, I think it takes till episode 7 or 8 before it really even starts. Now that they have a second season announced it is not as bad, but still 6 episodes of a 12 episode cour for a backstory?
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I was just reading an article on this.. Because of her supposedly Transphobic comments.. Makes me laugh when common sense is now hate speach.. but alas clown world.

    Finished Kaginado, I'd recommend a pass on this one. Much of the really funny gags were blink and you missed it during the OP narration, and many of the same Key VN tropes just don't work well in this medium. Isekai Quartet proved it could be done, Kaginado just mucked everything up. and oh Joy, 2nd season announced.
  16. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Pre-Show consisted of a brief overview of Macross past to present, then a few minute message from Kawamori about Mac+ and what they did to during production. Center Valley PA, 9 people including Mrs. and myself. Totally empty theatre and some idiots who couldn't keep their mouths shut during the viewing.
  17. Stampeed Valkyrie
    So some good news.. The Utawarerumono MOT anime adaptation finally has a release date. July of 2022. I would link to ANNs article, but you can search for that on your own.. they can piss off. however.. Also, I had something nice to say about Kaginado with Episode 6, but they killed any goodwill I had with them with Episode 7. ... sigh

    That seems to be the going trend with this series, I can site several events that take place in past episodes that I was thinking similar. I still am on the fence with this series, my group has dropped it because of questionable content. I can't say I agree, most of the funnies are visual stills and are blink and you missed it. I can't see how anyone not familiar with Key or any of the titles represented would NOT think this is a mess. A great example of this is the Goal gag from Air, honestly the first time you see it it's funny but now its been rehashed 3 times in what 5 episodes? Compare this to say Isekai Quartet, which was accessible to new viewers and even if you did not know the source material it was not hard to follow along. Onto Saihate no Paladin.. I am enjoying this series however at a current 12 episode series, they just burned 5 on his backstory. This easily could have been condensed into 2 maybe 3 tops. Not really a complaint of the title, more a complaint of the format and the fact that this will probably only be a 1 cour series. Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita... yeah stop with these long titles already. Kicked out of the hero's party or whatever. I am enjoying this title, I still prefer the manga largely because its already way past where they are currently in the anime. The interaction between Rit and Red is refreshing because there is no beating around the bush on how they feel for each other. Everything else feels like filler TBH. Mieruko-chan.. I don't know where I sit on this one, another title that my viewing group as dropped due to questionable content. And probably one of the first ones in awhile that I found myself uncomfortable with the level of detail given to some fan service on a JK. I'll probably stick this out especially after the recent reveal but I don't generally enjoy watching titles that feel like some closet pedo concocted. I am behind on Muv-Luv and the 2nd season of 86.. hopefully I can catch up relatively quickly.

    So Kaginado is a pretty much a disjointed mess. I get the feeling that they went into this with no real plan, other then play on tropes from the VNs. There is the occasional funny, but largely I am left like WTF? And that is even with knowing all the series except ReWrite. Planetarian made an appearance in the OP episode and disappeared, I would have expected them to expand into some other titles like Harmonia, maybe some Angel Beats and Charlotte.

    I'll admit the trailer looks promising. However, considering Netflix and their track record I am hoping for a good outcome, but expecting He-Man. As I said earlier I will wait and see what the overall consensus is before I dip my foot in the water.

    I have a niece who just turned 13 and is full on tweening out. A visit to the mall with her requires a stop at just about every teen shop in the area.. much to my dismay. The sheer amount of anime related merchandise at these stores made me even feel more like a boomer.
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    That looks about right, apparently it does say Robotech on the tag inside the shirt.. missed that.
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Just an FYI, I recently spied some SDF Macross t-shirts at Hot topic. These did not appear to have Robotech emblazoned anywhere which surprised me. If your looking for Macross T's its worth checking out.

    I almost forgot the WW2 images.. again strictly for landing gear research purposes only! 😆 I pulled a sampling this time, but most were white. Ok back to your regularly scheduled programming..

    More varied pictures for strictly landing gear research reference... 😁
