Mobile Suit Gundam Ensemble 9 Review

 Some 08th MS team goodness this time.

My Second year with Fate/Grand Order NA

 Another year have passed and somehow i managed to survive the deepest pit of Gacha Hell yet again. I had quite a fair share of rage with FGO but i suppose i can consider myself to fare quite well for 2019. This year i broke my F2P status and went Dolphin which is a decision that i won't regret any single bit. But hopefully i won't be going overboard to chase after .png waifus. I am quite upset that my login streak got broken from the recent Santa Lily maintenance debacle but at very least, Ishtar's visit upon my Chaldea ease up the fury.

Shirogane no Ishi Argevollen

 Found this actually decent mecha series that fell into obscurity because it does not appeal to Japanese Market which is saturated with Fanservice anime. If you are a mecha fan, Argevollen is no doubt one of the better Mecha Anime in the past few years because this show no doubt caters to our demographic.

Super Minipla Ninja Senshi Tobikage Vol 1

 Super Minipla has been a great lineup for Bandai to push out Toys for past Mecha series with less risk on their side, and now Tobikage is joining into the lineup! It is a coincidence that i covered Tobikage last month, but no doubt this is a great news. Super Minipla Tobikage will come in its first volume featuring Tobikage and Kurojishi with March 2020 Release schedule. The Superminipla will come in 3 separated pack packages with 6300 Yen Price Tag and unfortunately P-Bandai exclusive. I think Bandai would handled Tobikage Minipla just fine considering they have handled some heavy duites like Dancouga and Baikanfu, This would be a great grab for Tobikage fans if it was not for the P-Bandai status just like Baikanfu since i think Bandai have applied some engineering used for previously released SOC on the minipla as well. Horaio and Bakuryu should follow up eventually including Zerokage though Bandai definitely does not make it easy for overseas fans. I am still waiting for Robot Damashii Tobikage which should be possible considering even obscure series like Gasaraki are going to have one soon.

Mospeada RIOBOT AFC-01 Legioss

 I have been long anticipating for Sentinel's take one Legioss to accompany my Riobot Mospeada and finally we got the official announcement! Scheduled for June 2020 release, Riobot Legioss will cost 25000 Yen. For a price of Soul of Chogokin, we are getting a 1/48 scale of Legioss which will stand around 18cm in Armo-Soldier/Battroid mode. The Riobot will also come with the cockpit gimmick including Stig on his Power Armor Bike. For 25000 Yen, Bandai's Soul of Chogokin provide better value for money no doubt. But it might still worth it for diehard fan of Mospeada. I am still considering for this one since it will cost more than 25000 Yen for the local preorder and that kind of money is not something that i can spend casually. But as long as Sentinel's take on Legioss is not to fragile i think it will still worth it. This will be a hard decision to make because Sentinel Products are very difficult to find on aftermarket.

Pokemon Sword & Shield GET!

 Joining the bandwagon, i got myself a copy of the 8th Generation Pokemon on Switch, Sword & Shield!  6th Gen was the last Pokemon series that I played and by then i know that this series is not for me anymore. I was quite a loyal follower of Pokemon series back in my youth since the first Gen until the 3DS era. X&Y proved that the Pokemon series are created and mainly cater for the younger audiences while the diehard followers who had become adults are only given scraps. This is why i didn't get Pokemon Sun&Moon and Let's Go series because People of my age are not the intended Main Target Audience. I am willing to buy Sword & Shield as my way to pay homage to the magical experience that Pokemon gave during my younger days. However i think the game will be a disappointment so I won't be putting the too much expectation on it. The last genuinely good Pokemon game is probably the 5th gen because the older audiences are still being taken into consideration on that one. To me Pokemon series is like Neverland, the magical experience that are reserved for kids only. But i will still keeping tabs on Pokemon series even though Nintendo & Gamefreak won't change their ways with the game to pay my homage for the series.

November 2019 Loot

More like the hauls from October actually but here are my recent ones. Got plenty of Candy Toys this time including the recently reviewed Gundam G-Frame 07 and Ensemble hopefully will make it within this month. This is my first getting Grandista and certainly i don't regret having this one for All Might. And then i end up getting Figma Salter Shinjuku for the sake of completion of my Figma Maid Alter which you will see the utilisation of it in future figma review. Lastly i didn't expect to get this sooner but finally i got my own copy of RoDa Sirbine which is definitely the rarest out of this haul. As usual please look forward for the review for these items.

Gundam G-Frame 07 Review

The turn for the big guys!

Fate/Grand Order 1/7 Jeanne Alter Dress Review

Shall we dance Master?

SRW V first run Complete!

 Took me two years to settle the debt, but another SRW series joining my SRW Hall of Fame! Back then i am quite hyped with SRW V since Space Battleship Yamato debuted in this game with Nadesico tagging along which could have been a great potential. However my interest on the game gradually died down as i went through the game. The amount of the wasted potentials that the roster could have, made me left SRW V to gather dust for two years. It was not until i finished Yamato 2202 that i decided to pick up this game again and finish my playthrough. Overall SRW V is another mediocre SRW Title out there, but the only difference is the amount of potentials the game wasted which might not necessarily be the Devs fault.

Realm of Darkness 1000th Post

It has come a long way and now Realm of Darkness officially has reached to a significant milestone! Perhaps my younger self didn’t expect I would commit until this far when he created this blog during 9 years ago. Going through my past contents, I could say the Journey that I took with Realm of Darkness over these years have been very fruitful and therefore worthwhile. While managing this blog has been a casual hobby of mine, I will keep striving to create contents that are close to professional level.

 In any case this auspicious moment deserves some celebration! For starter there will be couple of quality reviews and I think I will be writing one or two Mechatalks post as well. Finally I think I should also put some proper blog profile for Realm of Darkness this time.

Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Soldiers of Love

 I suppose when you look for a good Space Opera Anime apart from LOGH, Yamato series is the only good one nowadays. Serving as the direct sequel for Yamato 2199, Yamato 2202 bring the Legendary Battleship Yamato to embark on another Journey with even more dangerous adversary that humanity ever faced yet. From what i know Yamato 2202 is based from the 2nd anime of the 70s Yamato series which the Earth facing another Alien Race named Comet Empire which are hell bent on destroying Humanity. And then Yamato Crew still lingering on Captain Okita's legacy, facing dilemma that the Earth Leaderships direction took to defend themselves, abusing the technology that Iscandar gave in order to gave Earth a fighting chance. Nevertheless the new journey that Yamato took will greatly change the life of its crews yet again.
