  1. Finished watching the last episode(#26) of Claymore. Wow. Really good story. Great tense action. Kind of bloody but not too gory. This is totally worth your time. The character Raki did remind me of Saji Crossroad(from Gundam 00). A young man that wants to join in on the fight for a reason but finally brings sanity to the situation without conflict. Come to think of it...Clare kind of looks like Louise Halevy(also from Gundam 00 Second Season). Both girls went overboard for revenge for the death of loved ones. Alright, on to a lighter tone anime, Vandread.
  2. The metallic blue is Tamiya TS-19. This blue is close to colors for the the BGC Tokyo 2040 Priss hardsuit. I would apply a base coat of Model Master stainless steel next time to give it a more metallic and lighter finish which is closer to the original Priss hardsuit from the first Bubblegum Crisis series.
  3. Here's Priss Asagiri's hardsuit from Bubblegum Crisis by Aoshima at 1/12 scale. The kit is pretty close to the anime proportions. The 1/15 Yamato figure is for comparison.(Yamato's coloring is a bit greener and more metallic) Note: This kit is fairly challenging to finish correctly due to the way Aoshima had the arms and legs attached. There is no way to assemble each limb first and attach them at the end. Everything has to be assembled at once so it is a pain painting and masking the different areas. Next is her red Motoroid motorcycle.
  4. Robot Jox Just saw that recently and I was like...WTF is this???? Bad effects, acting, story and blah blah blah.
  5. Just started watching Claymore. Seems like an interesting show that's worth my time.
  6. Christmas break gave me time to finish this last episode, Part 3: A New Frontier. Made with 100% organic awesomeness... Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z05XuDgKJjs Here are the previous episodes. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP5mGiKvxI4 Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3JPfextnfs
  7. One more interesting note on Highschool of the Dead... The voice of Saya Takagi's mother(Yuriko) should be familiar to anyone who has seen Bubblegum Crisis(original version). If she sounds like Sylia Stingray, that's because they are voiced by the same actress, Yoshiko Sakakibara. I was waiting for Saya's mom to breakout the Knight Sabers' Hardsuit.
  8. haha....it gets expensive changing the oil yourself.
  9. Very nice!
  10. Just finished Highschool of the Dead. Pretty darn good series. Kohta Hirano, the dude with the glass, is the embodiment of Lockon Stratos...haha. He can snipe anything with a gun. But I wish there was more than 12 epsiodes. Season Two??
  11. The two characters from Highschool of the Dead(Takashi and Busujima) reminds me of the characters Kazuki Muto and the female Hayasaka twin from Busou Renkin.
  12. Darn it...looks like the item I want is not on sale, the 1/60 Yamato Regult kit.
  13. Just finished watching Eve no Jikan. It deals with the relationship between humans and androids(not smartphone type) in the future, similar to Chobits but with more ethical thought. No action, but mostly drama and thought provoking situations. However, it is quite enjoyable.
  14. The shape looks a bit busy for my taste. The sleeker VF-25 design seems better. Again, it is a matter of opinion.
  15. I just ordered some items from HLJ using SAL shipping. I wonder how long it will take to get here(California).
  16. Just finished the first season of Black Lagoon. Somehow, Revy sounds like Klan Klan(Macronized version). Could it be the same voice actress?
  17. That armored Klan looks awesome.
  18. Would the lighting kit and the battery make the Regult a bit top heavy?
  19. I just started watching this series a few weeks ago and am already at Episode 20 of the 1st season. This is pretty awesome, hot chicks with permanent PMS and guns. Revy has that crazy element which make this all the better. Rock seems so reserve, like Renton from Eureka 7. Each epsidoe is a bag of TNT and never a dull moment. Somehow the Black Lagoon setting reminds me of Macross Zero.
  20. You csn probably enter that into the customs contest.
  21. Excellent article by LA Weekly. That was a pretty complete summary of the event. Looks like NightmareB4Macross's cake made it to the front of the story.
  22. I would probably get this kit since it would complete my 1/72 Destroid line, not counting the 1/160 Monster.
  23. Toynami 1/100 Glaug. Photo of the prototype at Macrossworld Con10.
  24. Maybe this time, they'll have squadrons of rogue ghost fighters(drones) to deal with being controlled by enemy forces or an AI system. This sequel is not such a good idea, like Ben Stiller making Zoolander 2.
  25. That VF-171 kit looks nice EXO. Great job on the 1/60 figures!
