Pictures of cool stuff ⁽²⁴⁾

Perfectly timed with recent casting announcements for Hollywood adaptations that may or may not happen, my figma of Major Motoko Kusanagi has arrived (specifically, it's The Major as she appears in the TV series Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex). This has resulted in two blog posts in one day! Aren't you lucky. Continue reading...

And so we come to the other kickstarted anime Blu-ray to arrive around Christmas... Santa Company, from Kenji Studio.

Oh well, at least this UK release (from Anime Limited) is only over 3 parts instead of 5 (like the US and Australian releases).

Anyway, I've got Part 1. Let's take a look. Continue reading...

At last, it has arrived, and the trifecta is complete! (At least assuming Good Smile Company doesn't make more of these... they totally should though I would buy all of them)

It arrived it arrived it arrived it arrived it arrived! Continue reading...

As anticipated by anyone who listened to that podcast I was on some time ago, I've had the figma of Ryuko from Kill la Kill on order, and today it's finally arrived! First ever figma I've owned, so exciting stuff! Continue reading...
