You're a bit late, I gave up on acquiring that book a few days after I posted.

OK, never mind my question. It's an KEN OKUYAMA X GUNPLA 40TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT. I'm interested, but probably not getting one right away.
-
Looks sleek. Is this variant based on something?

Interview of Shoji Kawamori in Kotaku: https://kotaku.com/how-anime-has-and-hasnt-changed-according-to-shoji-kaw-1838478119 lol

I'll probably pass on this. I'd have a harder time deciding if it was in M&M colors, or anything in blue. Guess I got some extra money now
-
We're probably not getting a reprint of the Design Works book though. Hopefully he'll put out another book years from now that's not so hard to get as this EXPO one.

Hmm, what immediately comes to mind (after Full Metal Panic) is Knights & Magic. The anime was sourced from a light novel. However there is not an official English translation, unfortunately. Now these don't have giant robots, but almost there: All You Need Is Kill / Edge of Tomorrow (this was the light novel that Tom Cruise movie was based on) The Stories of Ibis (interconnected stories about androids) The 2 are Haikasoru books, I recommend that line if you're into sci-fi. There's also another LN called Heavy Object, though I am not that familiar with it. It supposedly has mecha. And lol, in the course of my research, TIL this exists: https://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Escalation-Confrontation/dp/1611720052/ I'm sure there's another Gundam light novel out there, but my eyes are tired now of searching. Also, there's more mecha in manga it seems, that alternative should be more satisfying.

Nice! Was it worth the price? And I mean, in terms of unpublished vs published content ratio.

[Peacock] Battlestar Galactica (not a reboot) (2019)
hachi replied to Mazinger's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If the nuBSG ending was good it would have been a perfect SF series. They better have a plan, otherwise it's just gonna be a waste of IP and resources. (I haven't seen the original though, and have no plans to see it.) -
If I get bored enough (even with rewatches of old series) I'll check both out.

Never saw the movie but I lol'ed at evil space cloud! And it's sad that these newbie director guys fail upward, wasting tons of money and everybody else's time. At least I didn't spend anything on this, last X-Men movie I saw in theatres was Days of Future Past. I dodged major disappointment when I decided not to watch Apocalypse. Monopoly accusations vs Disney aside, I'm really happy that the X-Men movie rights are back under Marvel. I read some X-Men (back in college), and the X-Men adaptations, while some aspects are competent (casting for instance), just doesn't excite me like the MCU does. Or maybe it's just a curse, me having read more source material from X-Men than Avengers/Thor/GOTG etc. But I'm hoping that Marvel Studios can bring us a better adaptation.

Is KanColle any good storywise? Those kinds of anime haven't really appealed to me in the past.
-
>> Titan still turns a modest profit on the comic because of all the corners they cut making it. Looks like they made some profit enough to hire Brenden Fletcher to write a story (who looks more legit than the other unknown RT comic writers to me). Sadly I don't think they're gonna stop doing the comics in the foreseeable future.
-
I don't know how they keep on producing those comic books. Even comic books that seem to be popular (and I bet sell more) get cancelled all the time. How is this financially feasible for them?

The final volume of LOGH light novel will release on November 19. Frankly I've only bought the first 2 novels in print. One reason I haven't continued is I haven't finished the 2nd novel yet, and I can't find it when I want to read it! I put it somewhere not readily accessible or visible to me. So if I finally buy the rest it'll probably be as ebooks on Kindle, so I won't forget where it is and I won't also have space problems. The 2nd reason is that it isn't as exciting as watching watching the original anime. I actually am more excited for the Crest of the Stars light novels. I've seen the anime, and I've also read the online translations before. I don't know why, but it reads better and I don't seem to tire of it (except for the Abh language parts). The first 2 volumes are out, will buy the 2nd one on Kindle soon.

I don't think anyone has gone to jail. It's probably too hard to prove/prosecute, especially with the names involved. What do I know of the finance world anyways
-
Looks like the budget I reserved for this book will be going somewhere else this year.

Marvel Studios TV Shows and Animation on Disney+

I am excited for Moon Knight, it's the only TPBs I've been actively collecting from Marvel. Though I do have some reservations how 'crazy' they will go. -
The Matrix Resurrections (What is The Matrix 4?)
hachi replied to TangledThorns's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
We keep getting Transformers movies, why not Matrix 4? Not really that excited for this, will wait for reviews before I watch. And that's if I find the time... -
Legend of Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These. Coming April 2018.
hachi replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Isn't the top a little too flat? -
Now the question is, does this need the PO purchase code? If it does, no problem, there's a Eureka 7 artbook coming out anyway. But if it doesn't....RIP wallet? (Assuming I can go through the hoops associated with a successful purchase of this expo book...)
-
Guys who can read Japanese, is this another EXPO book? This seems to be a general release. Unfortunately Satelight doesn't ship to overseas locations https://www.satelight-store.com/products/detail.php?product_id=211
-
I got my shipping notice. I was being impatient lol Lol didn't buy that 36-set. Got the 2 customs because I didn't want to regret not buying in a few months like what happened with the PBandai Leos.
-
To those who ordered P-Bandai Maganacs (Rashid et al customs), have yours shipped? Curious since it's almost August in a few days.
-
The Blade movies were good for their time, I wonder how they will make this interesting considering it will probably not be R-rated.
