  1. Well with this season wrapped up, I am finally catching up, and even starting a few that caught my eye but have not had a chance to see. Wrapped Higurashi.. I admit I am easily biased as I am a big fan of the game. I keep seeing debates about this version and the previous animated version. Honestly I enjoyed both, it did take some time to adjust to the new character designs.. but it was worth a watch. Wrapped Horimiya.. This was a good rom-com.. I would put it up there with Saekano, but it was pretty rushed at points many people complaining about cut content. I guess I will need to read the manga at some point. Making progress with Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi. Alot of people bashing this series is what drew me to it. I like it. We shall see how it plays out. Almost wrapped Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka.. or at least the 1st cour of it. Very Meh overall, If I can wrap this cour up I will think about the next one. I am also getting around to watching the 4th and 5th season of the Tenchi Muyo OVA's. I am sooo lost. I recognize most of the characters but it has been sooo long since I actually followed this franchise that I can't remember who is what. I did like the emergence of characters from Dual Trouble Adventure, Which I would recommend if you can find it anyplace. Wrapped up Quintuplets and another title that came out of nowhere that I enjoyed. The ending is still pretty muddled but the cat is out of the bag on who he ends up with anyway. Nino is still best girl. I am about to dive into World Egg.. mostly because everyone is telling me its dark and twisted.. and TBH what is not to like about that!
  2. I may be back in the area in July.. of course smack in the middle of the hottest time to be in Vegas.
  3. Finished Quintuplets S2.. I enjoyed this season as much as the first one. They still don't tell you which one he ends up with though.. even though its pretty clear in the manga.
  4. Just wrapped S2 of ReZero.. I have to admit the 2nd season was better then the first. And that was a hard sell for me, I did not want to watch S2 out of fear it would collapse on itself like Slime or Overlord. Also finishing up a rewatch of Cowboy Bebop, sitting on the final 2 episodes and decided to watch the movie first. All in all while CB was a good series, I think there are other examples from that period in time (late 90's early 00's) that don't get the recognition that CB did. I will give CB credit for being 1 of a handful of titles I enjoy the dub for, and that list is VERY short.
  5. Found these at the local wally world. Toy pickings are pretty slim as most of the TF stuff is cleared out, been following the G1 reissues when I can find them and have had pretty good luck. From what I can tell there are 2 waves of these out, and I am missing 2 of them but not bad for a random trip.
  6. I have been enjoying ReZero, it along with Erased are probably the 2 most recent anime series that have not really been forgettable in the past few years. There are others, but none that I can think of recently that I would say I got pulled into. This brings me to Horimiya Ep 9.. this series is continuing to be a good watch. Next up is to catch up on Higurashi.
  7. So I was checking KC website, and I see that the Roy Figure is no longer listed as Pre-Order. Did I miss this release? I have it on order, did anyone else get theirs yet?
  8. Every time I look at one of these toys I am reminded of the Banpresto VF-1 A/J/S releases from back in the 00's
  9. I would be down for this. I am still waiting for more SD stuff. GBP SD where is it?
  10. Interesting, once again late to the game. Having had a chance to interact with the 1/6 cockpit which I thought was pretty neat, just outright obnoxious in size. I might be persuaded to have an interest in the smaller versions. Ideally the Hikki 1J would be more logical as I would use it to replace my current topper for my SDF Macross Pachi. The rivets don't really bother me that much, but I admit the Fokker 1S does seem to be more appealing to the eye. Now however looking at the last video that @sh9000 posted I don't see the rivets on the 1J. hmm. I gotta think about this one.
  11. I may go pick up another CF 1A at some point, before the prices get out of hand. I ended up getting 2 of the SDCC Stealth 1S by mistake. My duplicate will probably end up in the sale section at some point.
  12. I am in agreement. The 2nd Season has proven to be as good if not at some points better then the 1st.
  13. Meh, honestly if your already having an issue with ReZero and it hasn't even taken off I probably would just stop. I did the same thing with AOT as the more I watched the more I had an utter disdain for it. These days there are way too many series to keep up with, and when you start one and it's already behind the 8-ball I don't see the point. Stand outs this season for me, besides the already mentioned S2 of ReZero, HoriMiya, Higurashi, and Quintuplets S2. Middle of the road right now is Log Horizon S3.. they seem to be out in the weeds again, hopefully somthing happens to put it back on track Stinker.. Last Dungeon.. I still need to watch Slime S2 and the 2nd season of Promised Neverland.
  14. All my VF-1 stuff came in. I have managed to pick up everything from both the F14 and VF1 Calibre Wings has put out to date. on the VF-1 side they all look pretty good, I am partial to the Farewell big brother 1S, and the low viz 1S. on the F-14 side its a harder choice.. I really like the VF-1D TV paint scheme.. it's just ugly and its great. But I am also privy to the tomcat in an all black scheme like VX-9. So the Stealth version also gets a high rating.
  15. Flying Mule dumped the rest of my Cailbre Wings PO's I would need to check but I think I am current now with all releases.
  16. KC did an SD TV valk toy for him. I'll try and dig up my pic somewhere in the toy thread. Found it Max is a bonus.
  17. I got notification of a bunch of my pre-order stuff got shipped last week.
  18. Just way too much this season to keep up. I just watched up to ep 7 of Last Dungeon.. and meh. It's not terrible but it's not actually that good either. The whole selling point of this show is that the main character is OP to normies, but weak around others from his village. At first it's amusing but it's getting stale, and with all the female characters going gaga over this guy its starting to get annoying. I may end up dropping this in the next ep or 2.
  19. wow, yeah that just looks bad. And this is coming from someone who has a soft spot for the old Mechwarrior RPG artwork.. lol.
  20. The Rebuild movies are not a requirement for evangelion. Doesn't mean they aren't any good, the 1st and 2nd are up there.. the 3rd.. meh. NGE TV ep 1-26 EOE and D&R are however. Sadamato's Manga is also highly recommended.. it has a different take on some pretty big events during NGE.
  21. I was told to check out Horimiya, and it's pretty good so far upto Ep 3.
  22. and on a lighter note.. ReZero S2 Part 2, 3 episodes in and its still doing quite well. I was worried that the 2nd season would kinda fall flat, but so far so good. I need to catch up on the Novels, but I still need to finish Goblin Slayer, and Suka Suka first.
  23. Finished the Strike the blood 2 OVA's, overall not as good as the first season. I can see why this was in OVA format as every episode seemed to feature one of the Heroines topless, which is creepy due to age of some of the Heroines.. the Mrs. was amused by this so.. bonus I guess? @Hikaru Ichijo SL Good to hear you finished M7. I watched it way back and it is a title I will never go back and rewatch again. Not that it was bad, but it definitely was not any good either. My 2 biggest complaints were it took something like 35+ episodes before it actually picked up, and I should have probably dropped it. The 2nd was the creep factor due to age between Mylene, Basara, and Gamlin. I think she was 13? or 14? Gamlin was 20(ish) and Basara I think was 21 or 22.. some M7 fan will correct me if I am wrong but Mylene was pretty hyper sexualized IMO and that was creepy. Obviously M7 is not the only anime to do this, but it stands out enough that I was pretty put off by it. Tame though compared to newer series.. (strike the blood 2 is a good example). It still ranks higher then Macross Delta.. which is just... no.
  24. I just started wrapped up Ep 3 of the Strike the Blood 2 OVAs. Kinda meh on this title, while I enjoyed the first season, so far this is pretty unremarkable. I am going to hold off for an episode or 2 on Winter 2021 titles, give myself some breathing room.
  25. I just wrapped up Tonikawa, Over the Moon and I have to say I enjoyed it. Nothing really outstanding about it but it was enjoyable. Also on a recommendation watched Princess Connect Re:Dive. Another title that entertained me even though it was pretty generic, kinda got a konosuba type vibe to it. and lastly Kami-sama ni Natta Hi "The day I became a god" Pass on this one. This series was a disaster, it had some funny in the beginning, but when it came time for the big reveal it completely fell on its face. It at least landed the ending, but at that point I no longer cared.
