The New Anime/Manga thread

[JessAlba452]

No problemo. I saw yesterday more Kodomo no Jikan DVDs #3 and #4 but were $56 each. Guess since they're new. Crazy expensive lol, but let me know if you'd like me to pick em up. Got paypal and will send info through PM.

I've got #2 already so if you get the others you can have 2,3,4.

Saw a few Sky Girls figures, priced at $60.

I <3 you.

Sky Girls doesn't have another title. It's actually given the English title "Sky Girls".

Thanks for the Kodomo no Jikan DVD! I really needed that. If you find others, let me know. The StrikerS figurines are actually from a different series, "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS". I was referring to the series "Strike Witches" which is relatively new so there probably isn't much out. Official Site The first DVD doesn't even come out until the 26th. Thanks again! If you find any Strike Witches or Sky Girls figurines (1/8th scale if possible), then please pick them up. Let me know the costs. I've got money waiting for you!

[Ran]

Holy mother of God those are pricey. I wish I had all the money right now. Thanks, but I'm going to have to pass due to a lack of funds. (^_^);

Please PM me the PayPal addy so I can hit you up. Also, how are you getting these to us? Shipping or coming back with them?

[JessAlba452]

Yep! I was suprised myself lol.

I'll be back home soon, on the 17th and hopefully will be bringing everything with me.

If you wanted to wait and meet up for the exchange that's do able

[LeX]

how is wangan? i never really got into car anime. is it like initial d?

I like initial D more.. but i like Wangan since i'm a nissan guy

[Ran]

Yeah, let's just wait and swap in person. Avoid shipping costs as well as issues that could come up.

The other 2 DVD's I do want, but I might not have the money right off the bat. If you get them, I can pay you as I get paid though. lol

[JessAlba452]

May not be able to get those two since I'll be leaving Osaka tomorrow morning.

Stayed in Tokyo and moving my way down south to check everything out.

But if I see them again I'll see if I can pick em up.


Oh and yes Nissan FTW teehee.

Well, finally got around to watching some of the series that I downloaded.

I liked FullMetal Alchemist a lot, but definately had to watch The Conqueror of Shamballa. Without the movie, it just kind of left it unfinished. The movie closed up some of the gaps. Can't wait for them to come out with a new series.

The Claymore series was decent, but I didn't think that it was superb.

I liked the Gundam SEED series, but I definately felt that Gundam SEED Destiny was done as an afterthought. Gundam SEED Stargazer just seemed out of place to me. It didn't seem relevant to be named as part of the series. Would like for them to do more of the original series. I like Mecha.

Of course, I've seen all of Initial D and all that I could find of Wangan Midnight w/Eng subs.

Currently have several series on tap ready to watch:
Death Note
Bleach
Capeta
Code Geass
InuYasha
NGE
Samurai Champloo
Mobile Suit Gundam 00
and more...

Out of your list, NGE is the only series worth your time and you'll need End of Evangelion for it's epicness. Code Geass is alright. I dropped it a few months ago but I'm going to pick it back up since the DVD's are being released now.

Watching NGE now. Only at ep10 right now though. Have all of it here, so I will watch it all the way through.

Cool. The last two TV episodes are crap and you can just skip Death & Rebirth since it's just a recap and the first 30mins of End of Eva.

[Ran]

Mass PM sent out!

[wantboost]

i will try to make it tomorrow, but most likely it will be saturday for me.

[Jecht]

I'm currently watching Allison and Lillia. I like it so far, but I'm only on episode 5. I will be at AWA tomorrow afternoon.

[Ran]

Where were some of you hobags? I saw Jecht, Crazy Asian, Nemesis and Pure JDM. No JessAlba or Wantboost anywhere. I was sad.

Anyway, AWA was f*cking great as always. Watched some screenings, checked out the Funimation Panel where they announced all of their upcoming releases, bought a buttload of stuff (will post pics later) and more! Had a great time! Now I gotta figure out how I'm supposed to survive until Friday on $20. lol

[Stormhammer]

time to stock up on ramen and yakisoba.

[Ran]

Sounds good. I'll have the money for that stuff this weekend if your free. Just give me a call on the cell.

Here are the pics of the Strike Witches / Mecha Musume figurines I've managed to acquire so far. Miyafuji Yoshika is in the mail and should be here sometime next week. I'll get pics when she arrives. (^_^)

All figurines are 1/9 scale.





* - This technically isn't Gertrud Barkhorn from Strike Witches. This character is from Humikane's original Mecha Musume series done for Konami. The differences are minor, but you can notice them. They include mecha ears instead of dog ears and feet-like bottoms on the bottom of the Striker Unit. Everything else including weapon, uniform, hair, pantsu, and tail are all Gertrud. It's pretty obvious that this was used as her base.



I've actually had Lucchini for about a week now, but I never got pics. She came with ALOT of swappable parts including a rifle (pictured), Walther PPK handgun, two bayonets (knives), six different arms, and an extra set of Striker Unit bottoms that don't have the black base mounts so you can fly her around your room while making "WHOOOOSH" noises. :lol:





* - Despite being a 2008 release, this figurine's packaging didn't have any SW markings on it, so I assume that it's also a Mecha Musume character that was used for Strike Witches. This character is almost (if not) 100% like Anabuki Tomoko from one of the Strike Witches manga/novels. She also has an removable/interchangeable top which you may see here (boobies have been censored. lol)

Also, both Gertrud(*) and Tomoko(*) came with small artbooks that have three color illustrations each as well as story, their aircraft background, and weapon specifications. You can see a picture of the covers with the SW Official Artworks here.

Here are the other artbooks I managed to grab at the con. Kind of pricey, but well worth it. I have been looking for the Saikano book for two years now and finally found one with the bonus content (diary page & hologram board) so I was quite happy.



My girlfriend was cool enough to surprise me with Megami Deluxe Magazine Vol.11. I'd post pics, but my camera died just as I was about too. It has Clannad on the cover and quite a bit of good content. Not to mention a great poster.
