    So coming back from the double feature screening of Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out and Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid. I am probably one of the more critical reviewers.. so I will give 2 different reviews.. 1st. Anime only viewers.. Both movies are fairly well executed, Sister definitively brings the sister arc to a conclusion, and Knapsack adds to Sister but also directs attention to the MC this time around all while introducing some new characters. 2nd. LN readers.. Its no surprise that the series seems to have started dipping compared to the events concluding LN 6 and 7. Which IMO was peak for this series, neither Sister or Knapsack kid have any real substance outside of introducing new Characters and new Concepts of Adolescence Syndrome. This really feels like a filler Arc leading into the University Arc.. aka later novels. Also wrapping up some Winter 2024 titles.. I am out of synch with my group as they tended to focus on series I had no interest in.. so all me this time. Sousou no Frieren - this series wrapped up with episode 28 and was the highlight for me this season. I personally would like to see more, maybe after the manga has time to advance as they are almost caught up. I'd recommend. Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha - This was a hit or miss title for me, it interested me enough to read abit of the manga and it had its points. This is the typical MC now has or is getting OP abilities and now everything is easy trope. I realize that 1 cour is not enough to really flesh things out, but then I ask myself do I want to see more, particularly as the Manga seems to have gone off the rails.. Shin no Nakama S2 - I enjoyed S1, but that was largely tossed for a new "Hero" that ruined S2. The plot was boring, the climax was boring, and the resolution even felt boring. Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi - Well Boobs... yes I said it.. Boobs. Rom Com, with some humor probably more wholesome then some expect. The climax and resolution lead me to believe there will be no S2. It was entertaining but nothing stands out.. except... boobs. Sasaki to Pii-chan - This one I was going to originally write off as the premise seemed silly. Instead I got dragged into it, probably my 2nd favorite of this season. And they announced a S2.. so good times. Metallic Rouge - Dropped I commented on this earlier completely disjointed mess. Ore dake Level Up na Ken - or Solo Leveling.. Dropped. The MC became unlikable once he went full Giga Chad. Handful more still going and wrapping up this week. Will post more then.

    Back from the End of Evangelion US Movie screenings. I was quite surprised by the number of people who came, probably the largest turnout for an anime movie locally I have ever seen. They did it episodically like it was originally screened.. episodes 25 Air and 26 End of Evangelion. Still holds up 27 years later. During the intermission between 25 and 26 people starting getting up and leaving thinking it was over.. lmao Up Next week for me are the screenings of Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out and Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid. Which are volumes 8 and 9 of the LN series. Both play into each other pretty heavily and setup the events further on the series. As a whole though, they both individually are pretty weak and quite the departure from earlier Volumes. https://www.fathomevents.com/events/rascal-girl-double-feature/ They also teased a theatrical release of Spy x Family movie, mentioning April 19th.. but I see nothing in my searches.

    Not sure what to say about this.. there are a handful of companies I despise more then HG. Di$ney is one of them. Probably gonna keep on sailing the high seas for my Macross fix.

    Did a quick scan of https://www.livechart.me/spring-2024/tv A few titles stand out. As mention previously 3rd season of Konosuba.. The Megumin centered one was a flop. 3rd season of Slime.. still haven't watched the 2nd.. Date Alive V.. I don't have high hopes. Spice and Wolf reboot... why? Duke of Death 3rd season.. The CGI is still terrible, they should be nearing the end here considering everything they skipped in S2.

    I haven't proceeded with Metallic Rouge past whatever episode I mentioned previously. It was a disjointed mess and it sounds like it still is. I keep seeing Witch Hunter Robin mentioned over and over.. its been a looooong while since I have see that one. A Bandai America release from the early 00's. From what I remember of it, I never understood why Robin was turning against her own kind. Even more so that her team hated Witches and disliked her.. the premise just seemed off. I don't remember it being particularly bad, but it wasn't good either.

    It can be at points.. One of Gainax last gasps before splitting to the winds. The series has its moments, and I enjoyed the movies as well.
  8. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Don't worry I'm sure it will do fine touting "The Message". I just think it be great to watch something without having to be bludgeoned over and over again with it.
  9. Stampeed Valkyrie
    So now I cannot unsee the tabs.. just like the KC valks..
  10. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Let me be clear.. I really want it not to be a Dumpster fire, but unless you've been living under a rock, or in your parents basement with no internet one does not need to look very far. I'll start with West World then... First 2 seasons teetered beetween ok and good but never great.. the 3rd and... how'd that turn out again? The Lord of the Rings reboot.. yeah nuff said He-Man reboot? anyone? What I find amusing is how Amazon is touting this Fallout series with the headline about its the same writers from West World..
  11. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I did not, will need to go check the video.. Multi color variants are a good idea, especially if you invest in a mold and want to milk what you can out of it.
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    This is one of those that I want to enjoy, but there will be no way I ever will. Guaranteed Dumpster fire, best it can do is be meh in this current age we live in.
  13. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I leave for a few days and miss a bunch of stuff.. typical. I like the variants on the GBP armor sets.. would be cool to see several color variations. Max figure looks promising.. lots of pooh, poohing on the cloth.. maybe.. but considering the alternative is old Matchbox or the the Fugly Toynami figures.. this is quite the improvement. I do agree though that the cloth is jank, rather would see the standard plastic like they did with Hikaru and Roy. They still need to catch up and put something out before they get anymore $$ from me.
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Quite literally. Not a series I would recommend for the average anime fan but an experience either way.
  15. Stampeed Valkyrie
    So abit OT buy any good price guide sites for these newer TF toys? I plan on slimming down the hoard..
  16. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Great question.. on a plus side when KC ships something I get it very quickly.. like DHL quickly. Is the price from HK that much higher then say Japan? I order from Amiami and use DHL and its not this expensive and bigger items..
  17. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I'm holding until they "catch up" and release what I have had on order for 2+ years. I agree that shipping costs are a joke.
  18. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I started Solo Leveling, seems ok so far I am only 3 episodes in so 4 more to go to get current. Also wanted to mention Sasaki to Pii-chan at first did not know what to think, but lately I caught up and I am enjoying it.
  19. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I'm going back a season and watching Ai no Idenshi. Its been on my to do list for awhile, with much of this season very meh..
  20. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I totally missed those, we can all hope that eventually they see the light of day.. just like everything else I have on pre-order with them.
  21. Stampeed Valkyrie
    @Return To Kit Form Man that is terrible. Even worse when its no fault of your own. @Seto Kaiba I don't foresee this being a win for Dodge. The sound it makes is laughable and unnecessary, if your gonna make an EV make it an EV. I spent last summer at several east coast drag strips watching stripped teslas blow the doors off other cars. There is interest, by some but I'll pass. My charger turns 55 this year.. and its still going strong.. Where will this one be in 55 years?
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Thank god! my wallet gets a reprieve this time around. Nice to see they are finally releasing the Dana figure.. now they need to play catch up on other things on pre order.. just sayin.
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    The Purple GOF release is probably my favorite overall KC paint schema.. outside of maybe the original Dark Gold and Black.. which is also pretty sharp.
  24. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Speaking of Metallic Rouge.. What the hell is going on with this series? Its drawing from several other similar Sci Fi series.. with hints of BGC, Blade Runner, even some GITS. But its missing a key element. 3 episodes in and its motivations are about as clear as mud.

    Watched the 2nd Gurren Lagann Movie "The Lights in the Sky are Stars" in Theatres last night. Overall whether you enjoy it or not depends on if you enjoyed GL to begin with. Both movies are largely stripped down retellings of the events of the TV series. With the endings on both going completely off the rails. I could nitpick here and there but overall it was enjoyable and I was not dissapointed. Theatrically speaking the next 2 "anime" movies coming to theatres is the FF 7 Advent Children movie, and Paprika. I'll probably go see Paprika because I like Satoshi Kon movies.. but the FF7 movie is an easy pass, was boring when it released.. boring now.
