(+) Yeah! (+)

Granzon buddy, I don't think you were ever getting that unless you put an order in Day 1.

Welp, guess I'm not getting my Final Fantasy Tactics LP.

It's only temporary. You'll get it eventually.

Fuck if this is anything like the metal frame series gunpla I don't think it will stay in stock for more than the initial reprint. I could get someone to buy it for me in HK and keep it there but it's humid as fuck and they are prone to flooding.

I did preorder that, I'm expecting it to get canceled.

Well they DID say that they'll hold on to any pre-orders.

So just hope they keep their word on it.

That's good news! I forgot how long FTZs can hold shipments, but hopefully they sort this out soon.

That is rather annoying, I have a figure preordered on AmiAmi that was supposed to release next month. I guess I'm waiting on an update from AmiAmi but I might have to just cancel.

What a wonderful country to live in.

One Piece Ep 957

Wano Act II complete!

Ngl, that was kind of a drag. Big Mom Pirates > Animal Kingdom Pirates, so far at least. None of them up to this point have been memorable. Gyukimaru is the most intriguing character to me. The Gilgamesh resemblance is obvious but him being the white fox that helped Kawamatsu gather the swords of the dead was an awesome twist.

Kawamatsu also great. Maybe cause he's like a ninja turtle, but a fish. Ninja samurai fish.

Act III, lets go! This is where it goes down, Ive heard.

Wano was waaaaaay to long even in the manga, I imagine the pacing is a disaster in the anime.

goated moment, bleach was my 3rd anime, after dragon ball and naruto, and I was still in the middle of early dragon ball at the time because I was watching it with a friend. Anyways, hooked on battle shonen after those man.

Got to the big twist with Aizen in Bleach. That was amazing storytelling.

Did you have any idea the twist was coming? Spoiled anywhere on the internet?

I don't know that I'd believe him even if he said he didn't

*Turns on Sakamoto Days new ep, thinking it'll be more of the same*

Eh, good enough stuff, but I'm not really crazy about it either.

*Hears Crispin Freeman in anime in the first time in forever, doing the Albedo voice no less*

NEVER FUCKING MIND! I'm in!

You'd be surprised what people don't know about popular anime if you aren't a part of the general community. Especially since Bleach is old and Aizen isn't really a meme anymore.

My wife tried bleach last year and was completely shocked by Aizen reveal.

She is new to anime but has been watching for like 6 years now and never heard anything. She knew nothing about Bleach going in other than it was one of the big 3 with One Piece and Naruto which she already watched.

Oh baby

20 years later tho - he's still got it?

May need to also watch just because...

He's always been Holland to me.

The Arknights x Ave Mujica collab dropped and I'm losing my mind at all this art, am I really gonna cave.

Well at least 2 of them are welfares if you dive in.

Oh he sure does. Owns the fucking screen for like 3-5 minutes.

Aizen still the goat of villains

I ain't payin' that.

Thats more expensive than buying Guilty Gear Strive + Lucy + cheap arcade stick

I'm assuming a regular version will go up for order as well, which I'll bite on if it's...$60 or under.

Do Aniplex series usually get regular versions? Did they do that with Monogatari or whatever?

Lots of Aniplex anime do get a cheaper releases nowadays....but I don't know for sure how many get both.

Bocchi is cheap to buy for example, but there's also no big premium Aniplex Bocchi set. In fact you can't even but the Bocchi BRD from the Aniplex store.

Started a manga called Rai Rai Rai which I had never heard of but looks to have started about 2 years ago.

This is Kaiju No 8 except the main character is Kobeni.

I'm in.

Fanscans are way behind, while the official release seems to be up to date, so I guess I'll finally use this thing I've been paying for for years.

How do you 'backfill' a digital chapter??

When series get licensed, they'll often start tling at the latest chapter and releasing every week, while also TLing from the beginning one chapter at a time until they catch up. Not sure how long this generally takes.

*boots up new Call of the Night*

Oh boy you know a good time is coming when they put a trigger warning at the front of an episode.

Things starting to get interesting as my serial code arrived and an application is now in. At this point I am fairly committed to going, probably being able to see Roselia, the 10th anniversary live, and then MyGo/Ave Mujica joint live. Both excited and anxious about the prospects.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/e31c1b35.jpg

Good luck! I'm never gonna manage stuff like that lol.

So far for shows this season Ive seen the most gifs scrolling reddit for Nukitashi and Tougen Anki

Really? Those shows have LITERALLY zero presence for me. I guess not all all sites are gonna be the same lol, I don't use Reddit for discussion at all (just Hoyoleaks). I don't even understand how to read the site TBH, who the hell is replying to who?

The only time I've ever even seen the former come up...is when I accidentally clicked on it on Netflix. Looked pretty cheap!

What about the raccoon alien dog? He's the best.

The only anime I see getting regular traction as far as clips posting and GIFs are Ruri Rocks (most common), Dress Up Darling, and for some reason Silent Witch.

The show I see being TALKED ABOUT the most is Panty & Stocking, but I don't think I've seen even a single clip.

It's wild to me that shows like Shield Hero and Kaiju No 8 are even airing this season, I've seen no indication that either of them even exists in the last 2 months other than the Crunchyroll banner.

I've been posting pics of You in discord most weeks, there's so many good ones each episode

Fuji in a Bunny suit for no reason except the lols

My day is complete.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8e52241c.jpg

How much does the Kaiju No 8 manga go into Reno's training for No 6's weapon? Feels like anime just sped through it and he's already out there using the full suit.

I'll tell you when I read it, which should be soon

One Piece Ep 974

Oden wouldn't be oden if it wasn't boiled

What a badass.

The Fujimoto short story collection 17-26 is being adapted as a 6-studio collaboration anthology.

https://youtu.be/Fhfsxk-tT7M?si=NVKN7MfryT51A2Xs

only the fujigoato treatment

I just saw the Jack Kirby thing in New Panty & Stocking and I think I may have to surrender.

nothing wrong with surrendering to possibly the best show of the season
