Cheerleader Rimuru

Birthday present from a very close friend of mine, and he’s here (along with Airi, Byleth, Lonsdaleite, and Rinwell.) One of my favorite aspects of this figure is the focus on the facial features. The “Why me?” expression Rimuru has is amusing, and the slimes underneath doing what I think is their version of a wave is pretty funny as well. You have one slime who just as unamused, and another one getting super into it. I’m happy I received this from my friend and I’ll be sure to take care of him. I am definitely having trouble with space … Continue reading Cheerleader Rimuru

Kokkoro (Not Fumo) Plush

Kokkoro from Princess Connect. Not a fumo, as in the Touhou style plush, but still from Gift nonetheless. I love how she turned out. Her stoic expression is conveyed very clearly and the stitchwork is very clean and even. Her hair is also done professionally, with a nice feel to it. Not to mention the flower corsage has some decent give to it as well. The only thing I would say is that she’s slouching a little bit when sitting down. I’m chalking it up to how she was shipped. Perhaps she just needs some time and fresh air to … Continue reading Kokkoro (Not Fumo) Plush

30MS SIS-GC69R ALKA-CARTI

What’s this? An entire month without any entries? Fuck, my bad. Anyway, I’ve been getting more and more into model kits and I’m slowly getting the hang of them. I’ve gone through the phase of getting an actual cutter (God Hand, bless,) and I’m still learning how the hell to use the sanding blocks. I think I’ve come a bit of a decent step up compared to my first try on the chitocerium model, so let’s go. Continue reading 30MS SIS-GC69R ALKA-CARTI

chitocerium

Got one of these from AmiAmi because I saw some really nice art of the pictured character (blue armor.) I really dig the aesthetic of this series because it places you (as in the person building them) as the person who has freed them. They come in a case that also functions as the stand, and they’re in a fetal position (or rather curled up in a ball.) You unfold them yourself and then you get to building them, and I’m definitely excited to bring this one out to a little event happening on Sunday — bring model kits and … Continue reading chitocerium

Anime Culture

I’m not one who goes to theaters that often. Off the top of my head last year, the only movies I went to see were Jackass Forever and Sonic 2. I’m not too into western superhero stuff so I always felt apathetic towards going to theaters unless it’s with friends. With that said, I’ve felt the same way with anime movies in theaters as well. I have this thing where I don’t really care too much about “normie” anime, and by that I mean the popular shonen shows of the moment or Ghibli films. I don’t necessarily dislike these, because … Continue reading Anime Culture
