    going through my list from Winter 2025 we have some more wrapups.. ReZero S3.. Mixed on this one, only 16 episodes long and the hiatus between episodes 58 and 59 really threw me off. I enjoyed it, but it was not as good as previous seasons. And though as I am being told otherwise I think much content was cut from this arc. I realize this is one of the shorter of the ReZero arcs there is some very lore related filler that I think was skipped or glossed over. I really should give S3 a rewatch as I am told that some of my issues were in S3. This is an example of knowing the LNs and WNs comes back and bites you in the a$$ when you start getting all the adaptations jumbled together.. *cough* utawarerumono *cough* Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san - I enjoyed this series, kind of a reverse isekai and was a very pleasant watch. Episode 12 kinda leaves the impression that this will be a 1 cour anime... which is sad as this was superior to pretty much all but maybe ReZero for Winter 2025. And other series of much lesser merit are getting a 2nd season. They never even got into the dungeon they discovered and plenty of content for a S2. We can only hope for S2. Also discovered that Quintuplets got some TV specials that I was unaware of.. so gave them a go. Go-toubun no Hanayome 1st TV Specials.. 2 episodes takes place during the last 6 months of High School, and prior to the Movie. This one fills in some of the gaps about the plot and specifically the Quintuplet he chose.. Go-toubun no Hanayome * 2nd TV Specials.. 2 episodes that take place AFTER the movie. Covers a Honeymoon Trip with all the Quintuplets to Hawaii. IMO the weaker of the 2 specials and abit of letdown because he and *his choice* are married at this point and its still like High School. Just doesn't feel like a natural progression with the 2nd episode throwing any progress away by wasting it on a silly plot. Each of the quintuplets impersonate Nino to help an english speaking young girl hookup with a Japanese classmate with JP VAs acting in english poorly. That 2nd episode was painful TBH.

    other titles have wrapped.. I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class - ugh I was rooting for the blonde.. NEET Kunoichi to Nazeka Dousei Hajimemashita - not much to add from my original post, this is a turn your brain off and fan service anime. I didn't expect anything with the ending and it met that expectation.

    Okinawa de Suki ni Natta Ko ga Hougen Sugite Tsura Sugiru - aka Okitsura just wrapped. All in all not bad, it does a good job promoting Okinawa. I think it did better then I expected it to and its at least worth a watch.

    Nice, one of the few this season that was worth coming back for. This one has been one of the jems, amongst the blah of Winter 2025 season. I'm hoping we get a 2nd season as its gonna wrap with much more to cover.
  5. Stampeed Valkyrie
    A couple just recently wrapped. Sakamoto Days - The way the final episode was setting things up its almost guaranteed to have more coming. I'll admit it was entertaining, and I would watch more whenever Netflix green lights more of it. Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi - aka Salary man isekai.. I can't say I was overly impressed about this title. Ulmandra pretty much carried most of this season and the plot was pretty vanilla. If they made more I'd probably follow it and the ending was generic leaving the door open for more but probably not.

    Honestly though.. I don't have much love for BW either. When I was younger and first on MW, I had nothing but vitrol for HG.. but having been through this for 25+ years its shown me 2 companies that are extremely petulant and inflexible with the fans the only ones suffering.. Willing to bet that 95% of the Macross fans outside of Japan were introduced to it by Robotech at one point or another. I know the number might be even higher for NA and SA fans. Also lets not forget that the Robotech Box set that was released has the best looking remaster or upscaling of SDF Macross currently outside of Japan.. BTW.. I still have lots of vitrol for HG for those that are wondering.. just not worth the effort.

    I can't comment on how they compare, because Campfire Cooking never popped up on my Radar when it aired. Looking at the wiki its very similar, both have the ability to access some Online Marketplace and summon items. The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World, primary focus is the "Slow Life" whatever that means is your best guess.. He is able to summon anything in the market place outside of say Illegal items. They both sound very very similar.. but lets be honest so do ALL isekai series.

    So apparently Danmachi S5 just wrapped, it was on hiatus and the last episode dropped yesterday. I did a binge of the last 3 episodes and I'm not impressed. I don't think S5 came anywhere close S4, it was all the same things we have seen in previous seasons. God/Goddess wants Bell, all sorts of unreasonable things happen cause the guild or other stupid rules. Then a Wargame.. This is a rinse and repeat of the Apollo(?) arc. The only real positive for this season was Ryu, who also carried much of S4 but was sidelined much of this season due to the same stupid guild rules or other plot elements that only seem to apply to the MC. I am not familiar with the novels, so maybe this is setting up for something else, but TBH I think the Danmachi probably needs to quit while its ahead.

    So keeping the ball rolling. I caught up on NEET Kunoichi to Nazeka Dousei Hajimemashita. This one consists of shorts, 2 eps for each full episode. The whole world premise is abit silly, basically an excuse for fanservice. Even as shorts it stretches at points with not enough content to fill even half episodes. It does fit the category for just something to watch without having to be deep. I'd give it a solid 5/10 at this point.. much worse out there this season. Also spent some time catching up on Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta. speaking of worse out there this season... I've mentioned this before but the primary love interest comes off as shallow and abit of a b*tch. She does warm upto the MC as the series progresses, but personally I still don't see any reason they ship together. But such is the way of JP romcoms.. Her friend is the better choice, and its telling from a characters integrity standpoint how she treats her friend. These last few episodes introduced Akane's little sister and that got creepy really fast. As of episode 9 I'd rate this 3/10. Guild no Uketsukejou desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nanode Boss wo Solo Toubatsu.. aka Giramasu moving upwards this season.. this one is not bad, still nothing I would write home about but its better then the 2 I have listed above. Another one of those that don't require any real thought so light viewing. As the Mrs. says the cute Guild girls sell this one, it tries to take itself seriously with the OP, but then the ending hits and that is all out the window. 7/10 as of ep 9. Arafo Otoko No Isekai Tsuhan Seikatsu - been able to stay relatively current with this one. Much of what the MC does really does not make any sense but its entertaining. The whole Amazon/Temu premise in another world is interesting but pretty cheat. It has its funny, but also its annoyances as the whole harem trope is overplayed. I'm curious where they end this one though.. and this is one of those that gets a 2nd season.. bet on it.

    Yes, they released it in 2 cours. Frieren was pretty good, not sure if they are going to do anymore but there is enough material to do at least another season. Agreed. She carries this show, not the greatest but its entertaining.

    I caught up on Arifureta.. ugh I didn't even realize the 3rd season ended as it has no climax or resolution. Absolutely trash the entire 3rd season was a dumpster fire and killed the entire franchise IMO.
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I'd be interested in the Glaug and the Recon pod.. but no more pre orders from me. KC has enough of my pre-order money and no product..
  13. Stampeed Valkyrie
    this was the Ami-ami preorder bonus for the DYRL 4K release.. Finding a B3 sized poster frame is a chore where I am..
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Well it arrived today, box was pretty big, had some heft to it as well. Better turn around on shipping then I expected.. ordered 12/29. Shipping box had no padding, but they put the corner protectors on it.. Arrived relatively unscathed... nice design.. Flip Side.. Now need to set aside a space to start the building process..
  15. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I think I have this on pre-order.. I don't remember. Gonna buck the trend here again, not hung up on this one so I am gonna hold my opinion until I see it myself.
  16. Stampeed Valkyrie
    So unless I am missing something, this is the same as the original release.. except the Stand and different boxart correct? Now I just need to determine if I want to double dip..
  17. Stampeed Valkyrie
    If this is the same series I am thinking of, the anime was left wanting. Wasn't terrible, but the manga was leaps and bounds better.

    Adding 2 more to my Winter 2025 watch list. Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta - Meh, slim pickings this season so this may stick around abit. The whole initial premise is pretty off putting, but some people have kinks I guess. Mrs. already does not approve she does not like the wife character Akane.. Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 2nd Season - I initially passed on S1 of this because nothing caught my interest. Again due to slim pickins from this season I figured I would go give it a shot.. I am working on S1 currently and have awhile to go before I get to S2.
  19. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I have 3 currently from this season. SAKAMOTO DAYS - 2 episodes in, not bad seems to be interesting at this point. Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi - another 2 episodes in, seems kinda silly at this point but with slim pickings this season I'll stick around. Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san - The best of the 3 I am watching currently this season. The Mrs. likes it as well, so bonus.

    Opened up my "Artillery Pods" version, the missle packs themselves are extremely light. I'll post some pictures up later when I get a chance. I am still waiting on the other version which is on its way. I'd be tempted to say that the Regults KC put out are the best product to date.. however I am still partial to the SD stuff.
  21. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Yea the 2nd play through is no joke. Nice thing about this version is you can go into settings and have it start on 2nd time off the bat.
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I cannot get through the first episode, Neither the MC nor Mona are likeable in any way. I got to the part where she comments about him liking cat pictures on his phone and Nope'd right on out of there.
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Its been awhile since I have any updates for this. I located an individual who can get me the art I want for this machine. After a few more electrical gremlin issues, I just replaced all the wiring harnesses, and in so doing found my power supply was getting pretty jank on the +5V leads. This might have been causing some of my isssues, I have replaced that as well. Now I am changing direction abit, while it will be an SDF Macross cab, I am going to add 2 additional shmup jamma games.. AeroFighters and Twin Cobra. With Twin Cobra needing some work as its got some issues. I saw this concept at Galloping Ghost and I liked it..
  24. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I hope that everyone who got in on the kickstarter gets what they put in for. Still stinks of a ponzi scheme.. let's all hope I am wrong.
  25. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I just got a shipment notification from KC about my 2 Artillery Battle Pods. I was kinda hoping it was something else like the GBP armor. ...
