    Are you sure? Must've been bought between then and now, because I don't see it listed anymore. I can find the original listing, which is for a new item and is discontinued, but no preowned ones. They'll have condition rankings on the product page next to the name of the item, like so: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-000570-R (Pre-owned ITEM:A/BOX:B)

    I think your Ctrl+C didn't C.

    https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-07-31/former-tekkoshocon-staff-allege-mignogna-harassed-macross-voice-actress-mari-iijima/.149505 Not sure who he is, though I know I've seen the name. The article details his behavior towards her at a con in 2007. EDIT: Okay, got the gist of it now. Vic Mignona, American VA, known for stuff like Full Metal Alchemist, came under fire for alleged super creep behavior going back a decade or more. The article details recent allegations made by con staff for Tekkoshocon that he stalked Mari Ijima, calling her hotel phone and even showing up at her door. She had to change rooms for the duration of the con and had it booked under an alias, and con organizers hired personal bodyguards for her. Apparently there's an ongoing lawsuit by him vs Funimation and some other people, I don't know the whole story, I skimmed through most of it just to focus on the Macross stuff.

    You might not be able to do so, but I know that used figures show up on amiami from time to time. Search for in-stock items, including pre-owned ones.

    Pretty much, yeah. Wing EW looks more like the Wing Zero EW, with different wings/forearms. It gets optional buster rifle ammo packs and a shield. Deathscythe similarly has different wings/forearms, but also different shoulders. Its beam scythe oddly enough is exactly the same, though in fairness don't fix what ain't broke, I guess. It retains the shooty beamy shield thing from the TV Deathscythe. Heavyarms looks almost exactly like its EW counterpart. The difference is in the minute details; the missiles in its packs are lessened as well as the number of guns in its chest. It does come with a big frakk-off gatling gun, though, with belt and ammo drum. Shenlong is exactly the same as its EW movie look. The dragon fangs become a single dragon fang, and it loses the ability to extend that arm like the TV version can (though the fang does have a bit of an extension gimmick built in...). The beam glaive of the TV version becomes a beam trident (which then becomes the double beam trident of the TV/EW Altron). The Sandrock is exactly the same as its EW version. It gets a shield and machine gun that the EW version lacks. The EW version gets that cloak thing instead.

    Yeah... "display"...

    I don't touch RGs anymore (though this might change my mind), but you should check out Bluefin first to make sure you don't pay up the butt when you don't have to: https://www.bluefinbrands.com/tallgeese-iii-gundam-wing-endless-waltz-bandai-rg-1-144-bas5058023.html

    Started Konosuba the other day. It turns out I can't stand these Isekai setups where the fantasy world isn't explicitly an RPG but runs on RPG rules, but the characters are fun at least. They help to distract from the absolutely boring world and all the questions I have about it. It seems like something to just shut your mind down and have fun with the wacky mishaps the characters get into. That's fine, I guess. The kids like it, so it'll be something to watch with them. ...it's just I see this and I get cravings for Escaflowne and Slayers to come show them how Isekai and comedic fantasy anime are done right.

    I prefer to think of it as a frog gullet, myself. It grows on you after a while.

    Eh... It looks like a fairly standard Gundam "detail-up" conversion kit. Lots of nonsense details thrown all over the place without a thought given to function, or even the semblance of function. I wouldn't say it's bad, per se, just kind of... messy. That huge glass cockpit, though. If that isn't a big ol' "Kick Me" sign, I don't know what is. Those extra long exhaust nozzles/feet, too... But I mean, it's a game effort.

    Don't think we can't see exactly what your name is.

    I believe she and Alto are 17 throughout the entirety of Frontier, and Ranka is 16. But now I think about it I have no clue where I got those numbers, so...

    Isn't the Macross wiki notorious for having outdated and/or flat-out false articles? Last time I checked one of their articles, I X'ed out after I couldn't figure out where one section started and another ended.

    Obviously Seto's working on an answer to this as we speak, but maybe I can beat him to it. IIRC, the YF-24 prototype became the VF-24, and is strictly for Earth forces use. Something about increased autonomy for the immigrant fleets, but because of that Earth wants to keep the true strength of its fighter a secret. Toned-down monkey model schematics(?) were distributed throughout the immigrant fleets for use in making their own local variants, which is where the VF-25 et al come from.

    How old IS the F-16? I always feel like it's 20 years old, max, no matter how much time goes by. But then I also can't accept that the F-22 was basically made in 1990 or thereabouts, so maybe I just have a poor sense of time...
  17. kajnrig
    This is also true.
  18. kajnrig
    Nah, I'm sure it's great, I just always raise my eyebrows a little bit in skepticism when it comes to IGN.

    I just gotta say I honestly never expected Gilbert and Sullivan to be referenced here.

    https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/20190725-OYT1T50298/ The tl;dr of it: Firefighter anime Fire Force has made visual and narrative changes to its third episode, and will roll those changes through to future episodes as well, in light of the KyoAni fire. According to some person on reddit, episode 3 --- So... yikes. That's rough for everybody, to put it extremely mildly. In situations like this, I think it would have been just as "good" a move to run a monologue before and after the episode airs expressing the same sympathy and remorse that everyone feels and provide links/phone numbers for donations and the like. No one in their right mind would blame the makers of this anime for what happened to KyoAni, nor would (or at least should) they hold any animosity toward them for continuing to pursue their commercial/artistic goals. That said, I can understand the studio also not wanting to, even unintentionally, further agitate audiences' already raw emotions. Rough place to be in.

    Yeah, but IGN, so...

    Same kind of VF-1X++ as in Macross the Ride? Is it a civilian model, or military? Am I right in assuming that it's based on the VF-1X Valkyrie Plus?
  24. kajnrig
    I'm sure this has been asked before, but In the The False Songstress "next episode preview" of The Wings of Goodbye, there's a red Super VF-1 and what looks to be a Monster in Destroid form with gatling guns in place of its standard missile launcher arms. I can't be arsed to go through all of WoG right now, but I don't recall either of those being in there. Were they simply placeholders? I'd imagine that's the case for at least the VF-1, to avoid revealing the YF-29 early. If not, where in the movie do they show up and why?

    My friend wanted to see it too and dragged me along with. My thoughts on it, not knowing anything about the series: All of that said, I'm sure I'd like it more if I watched the show, so... sure, 6/10, it's pretty standard anime fare I guess. (Seriously though, who were those two dark-haired chicks because GAT DAYUM.) Also, there was a trailer for apparently an August screening of Millennium Actress, and I am most definitely not missing out on that opportunity. That movie is so frakking good.
