The Vanishing Boy
^ FYI, I'm not going to turn my car into a Hellafush mobile. It will be a subtle stick on:

^ Similar to what I did to my S2K in the past. :sly:

On second thought that's a really nice looking sticker. Goot gob.

On balance I'd prefer the Mitsubishi sticker. Not that one, though. Something like the Ralliart shirt I wore to school today for own clothes day.

That got a few talks there today. Something anime didn't because few others I know really care about it. At school, there are a million other things for me to talk about, so I talk about them instead. Most often, it's talk about *shudder!!* real life girls.

I haven't bought much from him recently, but here is my current collection. I have at least 1 spare for most of these here.

Oh God what is this lol
It all seems like a collection of satirical comic strips.

Also, what happened to Plastic Memories?
 
I was poking around today in Twitter and this popped up:

obviously, seeing Figma and Rayearth in the same pic made me go wtf. I started searching and yep, lo and behold:

First decent Rayearth merchandise in... more than 15 years. I was really surprised by it too, as it was absolutely out of the blue, no anniversary celebration, nothing.

There goes mah moneh...
 
AOS-
I'm sure your Homura figure arrived already. Have you got around to taking any photos yet?

AAAAAAAAAAH dude I never told you about it, good thing you reminded me. IT NEVER ARRIVED! I filed a loss claim with Right Stuff and they sent me a replacement, but I changeed the shipping adress to my Texas friend. The replacement arrived already but it's over there lol. I also changed the adress for Demon homerun over there.
 
So, I just marathoned Terror In Resonance. It's really incredibly good. As good as Cowboy Bebop? Probably not, but that's not really a fair comparison, even if both are directed by Shinichiro Watanabe and scored by Yoko Kanno, as they're both such different shows that it's hard to know what to compare.

But needless to say, the animation is striking, the music is gorgeous, and all though the plot never claims to be anything more than a pulp thriller, there are actually some pretty clever ideas hidden within.
 
Aldnoah.Zero 18...

Asseylum finally awakens. Things are finally gonna go down now. Finally. I'm incredibly annoyed by the constant victories... Speaking of that, I actually thought Lemrina will kill her sister. Even though that will be an unexpected twist, that will probably make things 10 times worse.
I have to say though, Count Maryclain's (sic) death is a pretty brutal one. Suffocation in the vacuum of space... In the end it's an appropriate death considering it's a challenge and that he antagonized Slaine.
Also the roses thing is just plain stupid. They talked about birds in the last one, now they're talking about roses? Really? They're just yapping their mouths, wasting time... I know the message they're trying to convey with the roses and birds, but honestly...
And Inaho can see a fight going on thousands of miles from his position. And able to discern who won. Brilliant... What's next, he's able to forcibly order someone to do whatever he wants just by looking at them?

Anyone know when the OP and ED will release for this show?
 
Wow, looking at those Rayearth figurines impresses even me. And I don't know a thing about Rayearth.

Really? I hadn't heard anything about Terror in Resonance ever since Demo D talked about it for about 30 seconds.

I really like the intros to both seasons of A Certain Magical Index:





And I'd consider season two's second intro to be my favourite:

Index and Railgun are one of the few where I would watch the openings and endings every episode.

Same here. I usually just skip them but I enjoy them so much I watch them anyway. The only other anime I've done that on is a Initial D in a few circumstances.

Good to hear that the same goes for Railgun, as I'm watching that next after I finish up the second season of Index. :D

You haven't watched Railgun yet? Just a heads up, pacing feels a lot slower since there are only two main story arcs per season of Railgun. Just wait until you reach the Sisters Arc in Railgun S!
 
In other news, I wrapped up Spice and Wolf. Enjoyed every last bit of it, as I expected it to be. Cuteness overload everywhere man. Those two are just way too adorable. The time period of the Middle Ages was pretty nice too; I would say it's a valid take on the economy at that time. It saddens me that there's no S3 after 4 or so years (Anyone know why?). Guess I'll have to read the LNs

Nah, was told to watch Index first.

Thanks for the heads up! 👍

AAAAAAAAAAH Ya let me down. Hope it actually arrives! Some Mexican buyer filed a report on the Sunagon I sold him back in November exactly a month after shipping. He got it 2 weeks ago. Don't know what's up with Mexico. Did it start to snow?

Stumbled upon this.

Ah. Kyoukai no Kanata. Cute characters. Plot barely goes anywhere. Cute humour. Cute characters.

Cute...
c-cute...
Ahhhhh! Fuyukai desu!

That's all I remember about the show.

No, it's just being Mexico at the end of the year/start of the next one.

And yes, it will arrive, it's going to Texas. The replacement Homura arrived in less than a week.

Why's that? I was quite impressed by the music selection.

'Course you would. :p

Ah, so it's an adaptation of an anime to a movie a la the Initial D legend series? Might be worth a watch then since I enjoy the cute animes.

Similar to how we develop our preferences, I happened to lose interest in Index's OP/EDs.

That or because I got tired of listening to it all the time + losing its appeal after a while.

That's my playlist I've had since I started watching anime. All OP/EDs, and inserts that have vocals except one or two songs. And when you play through this all the time, there are songs you'll still love listening to, and some you'll learn you aren't really a fan of once the hype dies down.

Attack on Titan's OP is one easy example. It's fun to listen to with the opening animation to compliment it, but on its own, it doesn't keep me listening.

Ah, I get you now. Fair enough, though I've found myself listening to the intro music by themselves on a number of occasions, same with a few of Initial D's stuff. Quite enjoy most of m.o.v.e's work.

A lot of the purpose of LN adapted anime is to promote the source material. Seeing as the S&W novels are finished, I would not count on an S3 ever coming out. It's a shame because the anime was quite enjoyable and interesting. Also because I don't really like LN's that much and will be missing out on the rest of the story.
