    ok with that answer.. I am not clicking on the spoiler. I will be patient and see if it improves.

    So I'm pretty far in on Oshi no Ko S2, ep 21 at this point. And in the course of 2 episodes they may have just killed the entire series for me. S1 was far superior to whatever this is, S2 is falling into the character over exposition trope that is treating the viewer as if they are idiots. There are still a few episodes to go, and they spent waaaaay too long on this play. However that is the least of its issues currently, when you remove the driving factor from an MC it makes them dull. Congrats.

    I am glad to hear they are announcing a 2nd season, hopefully more of the LN gets animated. And with that.. Summer Anime 2024 is quickly giving way to fall. Overall Summer season was pretty blah, a few worth watching but many just blase. 【OSHI NO KO】2nd Season - only about 4 episodes into S2, it has not grabbed me like S1.. not bad but not sure what I am watching at this point. Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san - Best of the Season, hands down. S2 coming.. huzzah Failure Frame - Aka edge lord, and an elf with booba. still going but meh. Gimai Seikatsu - aka tell me you wanna bang your step sibling, without telling me you wanna bang your step sibling. It escalated quickly and then turned boring pretty fast, it wasn't bad, but not really good either. Maougun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta - another very bland series for this season. I get the feeling that the Cheese CGI really hurt this series, and the fact that it was apparent very early that it wasn't gonna go anywhere at the end. Again not bad, mostly average and what Summer 2024 was all about apparently. Shinmai Ossan Boukensha, Saikyou Party ni Shinu hodo Kitaerarete Muteki ni Naru. This series had some good potential early on, and the whole 1 cour pacing really stung on this one. Not great by any means but one of the few I took an interest in and read further then where the Anime ended. If the anime interested in you at all, check out the manga it sets a better pace. Spicey Wolf.. *sigh* OK yeah I enjoyed it. Really though only the last 4 episodes really made my day. Everything else was already done, and in someways better already. Giji Harem - I liked it. It was pretty straight forward, it had some silliness and the Mrs liked it as well. Not gonna bring home any awards but it was entertaining. Megami no Cafe Terrace 2nd Season - I enjoyed the 1st season, 2nd season was much of the same...... EXCEPT.. they totally botched the end of S2. Where and how they ended it was probably the worst I have seen since Promised Neverland S2.. ok maybe not THAT bad.

    lol

    Nope. I took it back out again just to verify, no mention of a pilot or pictures in the instructions either. All the diecast is in the legs, and do articulate.. more then I expected. Inside is very well detailed, I don't see it being big enough for a figure.. ***UPDATE*** so looking at my orders on KC website, this order is listed as partially shipped. as the order does include a figure.
  6. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Just got mine. Slipcover has art, interior box is just the basic black KC box found on other releases. Fairly large in size.. note the bottle for size comparison..
  7. Stampeed Valkyrie
    So Random nod to Macross in the latest episode of Megami no Cafe Terrace. Macross in the most unusual places I guess.
  8. Stampeed Valkyrie
    This is what a re-imagined for 2024 Macross design would most likely follow. Could be the "new" Chunky Monkies...
  9. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Caught the 30th Anniversary Screening for Ninja Scroll last night. AX Cinema nights keeps bringing me back to theatres. Good stuff.
  10. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Yeah its pretty sus. At this point I am hoping I get my pre-orders.. then I am done with KC.
  11. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san is still my choice for Best Summer Anime 2024. Spice and Wolf has finally departed content previously animated, and this allows me to say something positive and maybe recommend it. Maougun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta - Meh, its nothing that hasn't been done before. Its not a bad series, the CGI is painful at points but overall it OK. Not good, just OK. Shinmai Ossan Boukensha, Saikyou Party ni Shinu hodo Kitaerarete Muteki ni Naru. It looks like its gonna wrap with a tournament arc, I have at least read the Manga ahead abit so I know what is coming next. Another meh title. Its not bad, but its not really good either. I have Given Oshi no Ko Season 2 enough time to develop a good head start so I will start watching it. Hopefully its as good as the first season was.
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    This just came in from Amiami.. Need to find a place for him next to Albedo and Shaltear.

    Username, started originally at me poking fun at the engrish in the Kawamori Mechanical Design works. It then spiraled into an inside joke amongst friends and some old MW members. My avatar was a gif of Kohaku dancing.. then MW had a upgrade years back and been stuck ever since.. damn I'm old now..
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Have you tried FB? I got a response to at least 1 of my question via that route.
  15. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I passed after ep 2 where she tries to jump him. Very much vibes of other series along the vein of brother/sister wanna bone. Maybe it gets better keep us posted.
  16. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Thankfully the fighting tournament arc is fairly short. It will probably be the capstone of the anime adaptation.
  17. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Good news for Spicy Wolf fans.. apparently they are going to adapt additional story that the original anime did not..
  18. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I'm liking the anime adaptation, its been probably 5+ years since I played through the game, so there is much I do not remember. Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san - is still my favorite this season. Alya comes off too harsh at points, but the gimmick is funny. Hazurewaku no "Joutai Ijou Skill" de Saikyou ni Natta Ore ga Subete wo Juurin suru made - The whole Isekai a busload of high school kids died for me with last seasons ridiculous 1 hit death garbage series. The only thing this has going for it, is the elf.. not really much else. Gimai Seikatsu - this went downhill pretty fast. Angsty teenagers, silly and pointless drama. Its a hair away from the Dumpster fire "Domestic na Kanojo" I'm waiting for all the stupid anime tropes to hit at some point.. aka Suzuka, or A town where you live.. Should rename this series.. tell me you wannna drill your step sister without telling me you wanna drill your step sister. Maougun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta - I think @Seto Kaiba said it best, its pretty low budget. While not terrible the copy pasta CGI is killing it for me. I'm willing to bet the manga is pretty good. Isekai Shikkaku - I only watched the first 2 episodes. The whole premise of wanting to find a place to die and do nothing is already stale. Good luck with the next 10 episodes. Shinmai Ossan Boukensha, Saikyou Party ni Shinu hodo Kitaerarete Muteki ni Naru. - Surprisingly this one is turning out better then I expected. Its nothing that hasn't been done before but it is entertaining me. Giji Harem - not bad.. It's pretty straight forward right out of the gate with what to expect. Poor girl is down bad, and the MC is mostly dense. Everyone else seems to pickup on it. Megami no Cafe Terrace 2nd Season - I am enjoying this, as I did the 1st season. It reminds me of Love Hina, so if your not into Harem Rom-coms then pass. 2.5-jigen no Ririsa - ..... The Mrs said it best, it has a skeeve vibe going. I see its trying to ride off of Sono Bisque Doll.. but maybe tone it down abit. \
  19. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Started.. Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san ... aka Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian. I know of this series from the manga, I missed it was coming out this season. If it follows the manga it should be pretty entertaining if you like Romcoms.

    So has anyone tried using a heat gun and getting the plastic to revert back to its molded shape? I've had success with other plastic and vinyl figures doing this. Just be very cautious with how much heat you apply, you don't want to melt it.
  21. Stampeed Valkyrie
    This just popped in via DHL.. probably now the largest figure/toy I have hands down. Gonna have to charge it rent.
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Wrapped S3 of Konasuba.. Overall I enjoyed it, this is another one of those this is all we will get in anime form. I have the novels staring at me at some point, but I need to play catch up on ReZero and Eighty-Six before I go down that path. Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku? - wrapped as well. I think this one might be the underdog of the season as there were many interesting characters. Shame its probably only a 1cour show, would be interesting to have another cour of them traveling back to Agano and seeing what changed.
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    @jvmacross nice pictures.. so the real question is.. smash or pass? 🤣 I'll probably order one if I can still get it.
  24. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I have questions in regards to his "sisters" and who is related to Shinji and who is related to Shido. Kotori is Shido's Foster Sister. Mana is Shinji's sister correct?
  25. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Just wrapped Date a live.. I really enjoyed the 5th season and it renewed my overall interest in this series. Not everything was wrapped up, which I assume the novels address fully. The anime still managed to wrap up nicely and is probably all she wrote for the franchise, with that said if this is it it was a fun ride. I still have the PS4 games to play at some point when I get time.. *sigh*
