The Faraway Paladin: The Lord of the Rust Mountains has been OK. Nothing great.
This is disappointing to hear, I know that S1 took up most its run by setting up the MC. Looks like we'll be screening this tonight so I will give some feedback then.

Been awhile since I posted here... this week was good for me..

I'm still playing catch up from last season, but I am enjoying the few of this season I am following.
Sousou no Frieren, I am really enjoying this show as its surpassed what I expected from it. I'm behind an episode or 2 but should be caught up this week.
Goblin Slayer S2, another series that I am enjoying. I am also familiar with the novels, definitely not a "lost cause". I am curious if they are doing some things out of order or if they plan on going back to any of the events prior.
Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki, not much of an MMO or game anime fan TBH. This series however has tended to lay off the trend of Edge Lording the main character so far. I am enjoying this much more then the group favorite Log Horizon..
I am holding on Shield Hero S3, and Spy x Family until I get more free time. I am hoping Shield Hero S3 is better then the mess S2 was.

She turns the big 30 today! Happy Birthday Minmay!

Its been forever since I sat down and played this.. TBH the intro was probably the best part so you might have lucked out. 2 things I remember from this.. 1.) if you S rank all missions you can play as Max DYRL Strike 1S on the final mission. 2nd I might be confusing with VFX-2 but there is a mission where you have to follow a ship that constantly shoots at you, just dodge and be patient, if you shoot at the ship you fail the mission. At the time I couldn't understand any of the text or speech.. now I'm like DOH!

It looks like they made a Toynami Super Pose-able and made it transformable.
I'm down for a Stampy Valk.
But I still like it.. its quirky.

I got dragged along this season and with things wrapping I will add my thoughts..
Helck.. TBH not as terrible as I thought but nothing to write home about either. Most of this series completely ignores the events that set the whole series up in the first few episodes. I would assume that this will start coming back into focus in the 2nd half. However this series is too silly for me to take seriously no matter what they decide to do.
The Duke of Death S2.. As I mentioned previously I absolutely loathe this CGI . The group I watch with kept at it and much content was cut to push this series down the path. The 2nd season ends with the start of the climax of series. Basically its going to be read the Manga to know more.. OR we actually get a S3 depending on how S2 did. And an update.. S3 has been announced.. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-09-24/the-duke-of-death-and-his-maid-anime-gets-3rd-season-in-2024/.202765
Horimiya -piece-.. As already known this series is focusing on much of the content that was edited out of Horimiya. TBH as a standalone this series really does not make any sense as it jumps around ALOT. It also seems to focus on making Hori look terrible on how she treats Morimiya. You MUST be familiar with the source to debunk either of this. Regardless I really enjoyed Horimiya as a whole, I still would recommend it but only after watching the original series.
Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha Ⅱ, Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta, Hataraku Maou-sama!! 2nd Season... I have the same opinion for all 3.. Dropped. I know my group kept up with Megane, but I passed.
Uchi no Kaisha no Chiisai Senpai no Hanashi, Not terrible, but not particularly noteworthy either. I have seen worse takes on this trope, but in the words of the Mrs. Its cute enough to keep her interest. I went along for the ride.
Undead Girl Murder Farce.. It started with an interesting premise, but lost me with the "Pretty Boy" variants of Lupin and the Phantom of the Opera. I have caught up to episode 11 as of writing this, so unless they stick the ending.. meh.
Temple.. I am up to episode 11 of this one as well, Its a Harem Rom-Com with ample ecchi. I don't expect this series to end with any real BANG, so if you enjoy the premise you'll like this. If not.. pass.
Lv1 Maou to One Room Yuusha.. this is my choice for Best of the season. Its not itself anything SUPER but it stuck its ending and was a standout in an otherwise weak summer season.
AI no Idenshi.. this was my late addition, with many people talking about it being an underdog. I am only 2 episodes in and will try to finish if I can get into it.
-
I'm still on the fence. I'll wait till the product is in hand and see what the verdict is. Even then I may just hold off entirely since I have so many other VF1s floating around.

Although I got my Gold Book decades ago, it only came with a poster, not a film strip.😓
Mine came with one from Area 88. (while cool, not macross)
Obviously not released like that.

Legendary Hero is Dead was entertaining, best part has to be the opening. Other then that best temper your expectations as the series goes cringe with the MC more times then not. It has it's moments and it's a pure fantasy anime which is rare these days.
Also depending on viewing it had some interesting ideas on identity with the amount of body swapping it does in the second half.
I really enjoyed this series, mostly because it was dumb, had plenty of humor and a good helping on ecchi. Don't expect depth cause there is none, but it held my interest. I probably should go through and give it a rewatch.

I had to sit through the first few episodes of this, I think the art is really well done but its premise is weak. The viewer is expected to go along with the main gag every episode and its not a particularly interesting series to start with. Again I only got through 4 episodes before I tuned it out, it was rinse and repeat at that point.
Looking ahead and Fall Anime season looks to be quite strong...

RIP
Met this guy, while SM was doing a tour and ended up at a local theater in Grand Junction CO. Small Venue he came out and hung out with the fans was super cool, but also super drunk.
Shame. Rest in Peace Shrek song guy..

Been awhile since I have heard anything from Calibre Wings.. then I stumbled across this.
I am shocked this has not popped up sooner.
Continuing the 1/72 VF-1 Series line is a 40th anniversary gem..
Flying Mule has them for preorder currently ..

KC isn't into subtle changes...lol
about as much as they are into limited releases!
Seriously though, doesn't this price point pretty much kill the Toynami 1/100 line?
Outside of the vintage box art, KC is better in every way at this price point.
-
Kinda went down the Youtube rabbit hole, and found an Anisong that I have never heard before that was quite the Banger of an ending. I figured I'd give the anime a go Anti-Magic Academy: The 35th Test Platoon.
I am about halfway through it, circa 2015 and its nothing spectacular but its better then 95% of whatever they are pushing currently. TBH the ending theme "Calling my Twillight" is the most outstanding part of this whole series..

Well, KC's "shocking price" sales, imo, indicates some concern on their part....they should have heeded the suggestions from their customers on what needed attention and revisions on their VF-1 mold....at this point, it looks like only a complete design or QC fail on TZ's VF-1 would help keep KC's VF-1 from becoming obsolete...
Possibly..
I am still chuckling at the 100 pcs line.. Right now I am looking at about 6 different versions of the Fokker/Hikaru 1S. each one was super limited!!!!
I am enjoying the unique paint schema's but KC needs to put out something other then a VF-1S to keep my interest.
Suggestion.. SD GBP maybe?

I'm slacking this season, I've missed most of the group watches cause car stuff.
With that said..
Zom 100: Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto aka Zom100 is probably my favorite of this season. The manga was enjoyable and I am curious how far the anime adaptation is going to go. Its more lighthearted then your typical Zombie genre, Its no HOTD, or School Live..
Horimiya -piece- Also really enjoying this one. Its hard to keep up with all the skipping, but again I like the fact that they are going back and covering some of the skipped content in this series. I admit I am biased as I enjoyed the Horimiya TV anime along with the Manga source.
Lv1 Maou to One Room Yuusha. Also enjoying this one, the back and forth between the Demon Lord and the Hero is amusing. Not much to it to be honest unless it pulls something out of left field but its entertaining enough to keep me coming back.
There are several others that the group is following.. Kenshin, Helck, Duke of Death S2... and a few other that I can't remember.
I may give Kenshin a go after it runs, if I care enough to do so. I'm familiar with the manga, and the original anime. And it doesn't have Heart X Sword as one of its ED songs.. so meh.
Helck.. is pretty vanilla only caught an ep or 2 early on seemed kinda silly.
Duke of Death S2.. I really enjoyed the manga for this.. but the CG artwork killed the first season, 2nd season is the same so I safely pass.

So what price point are they going to be selling the D at? If its gonna be $30-$40 then I don't see an issue. I still have mine from the 90s and it looks to be about the same other then button placement and the separating saucer.
-
I'm kinda amused that they keep up with the only XXX made limited edition thing. Sure XXX made of this release, but in a year or so we will just change the color of the base and release XXX more. Then next year XXX release, but remove the missles and base. Then the next year another release XXX but it has Fast Packs! *Sigh*
-
Well on the plus side the Metallic VF-1A set does not look as obnoxious as I originally thought. As for the M&M 1J set, I can't see myself plunking down anything to get a different colored base.
-
So what is so special about the Special Color Roy VF-1S? Am I missing something?
-
Dumb question time...
Why the gimmick with the nose cone? Did I miss something,, I know that some vendors you could remove the nosecone and have a radar thingy (tech term).
This one just points down cause dragons?
-
Got my KC Dark Blue VF-1S in today, this might be my favorite paint schema to date... other then the Purple GOF.
They did get the UPC code correct on this version, I am not seeing any glaring QC issues which is always a good thing.

Indy rode off into the sunset with dear old dad and friends after finding the Holy Grail. I don't know what any of you people are talking about after that....
Wife went to see Dial the other day, I was out of town working, she liked it. Maybe when it hits Disney + on a lazy Sunday night I'll watch it....maybe.
Yeah, TBH Harrison Ford was too old when Crystal Skull came out.. that was it for me.
A buddy took his kids to go see it, he didn't knock it but he wasn't particularly enamored with it either. The teenagers enjoyed it but he was pretty blunt.. he called it IJ and the Dookie of Depends.. for what its worth.

I had the Army Gear Canteen.. the jet was pretty cool, was an SD F-14.
I also had the M16, but my parents started taking all my gun stuff away when cops started shooting kids in the 90s for having toy guns.

I'd recommend Flying Mule.. even better if there is a coupon code for it.
My only issue with direct ordering is I have had less then stellar luck with the flying monkeys doing international shipping. I know its a risk you run, but I started using Flying Mule because of this.
I'm gonna be honest, I've got better pictures but my last thread about this got closed. Apparently some unwritten rule about CW releases now. 😑
