Non Scale Black Sarena


This mecha is from Nadesico Movie Prince of Darkness with Akito Tenkawa as the pilot. The kit looks impressive due to its bulkyness though i doubt the Aestivalis quality is any good with my previous experience with the kit. Mt first encounter with Black Sarena is when i played ACE 3 and easily the mecha is my favorite though i heard the Nadesico Movie was horrible that it prevented any continuation for the series. Definitely will get this one someday if i find any good deal for this kit.

Tenjin Hidetaka Valkyries


Well this one of my favorite artbook out there and planning to get it someday. The illustrations are really beautifully drawn and some of the artworks even become the BoxArt for Hasegawa Macross kits which are really good as well. Too bad the price is pretty expensive(4000 Yen) for its kind considering artbooks usually cost around 2000 to 3000 Yen and the book only has 136 pages. You can find the scans for the book if you are interested by googling since it is pretty easy to get one as well and the quality is much better than most artbooks.

SRW OG Inspectors episode 15


Ooh this is the best episode yet for the anime yet since the Mecha action is really awesome! Grungust 3 got plenty of actions this time considering it only appear in one episode only before getting trashed by Vigagi who had done pretty good job for his 4th wall joke in this episode. I didn't expect that Zengar know some Karate moves(though probably he should considering he is one of the Aggresors) which is shown when he prepared to defend himself unarmed against Galgau. We haven't seen the best Chesto! yet considering the best of Daizengar are not revealed yet. Now i even considering to get Non scale Grungust 3 and paint it in Zengar's custom scheme since it convince that the mecha is really awesome.

I am definitely looking forward for next episode and my guess is that Wildwurger true debut will be there along with SRX since next episode is most likely the stage where Mai try to escape from Hagane and stalled by Rapiecage. Perhaps we may even see Twin Bird Strike unleashed as well.

Tsukihime Manga


Well i stopped reading the manga few years ago since the update was slow. However i begin to finish what i left on recently and i find the manga adaptation of the first Typemoon works is pretty good. The manga follows the Arcueid Route(pretty much the canon one) faithfully while providing details that the original VN route didn't have and explaining some informations from Far-side route that are necessary. The battles scene is pretty good as well since it is able to represent power level of each characters really well. As for the Drawings i would say the mangaka did splendid job for it as it is beautifully drawn. Compared to the Non-existent anime version, the manga is proven to be much superior adaptation. I wish the manga did Akiha's route though i am content at least that there are some good doujins for Akiha.

1/100 Bang Doll


This is my most favorite Mortar Headd Design in Five Star Stories. Bang Doll is one of the MH that has quite some reputation in Joker Galaxy and probably one of those MH that can fight with LED Mirage.  This is the flagship mortar Headd of Kubalkann and it earns its name Erupting Puppet due to its transformation process and there are only 7 or 8 models of this exist in the entire Galaxy.. The reputation of this MH is pretty famous since it defeat Vatshu the Black Knight and Ashura temple in the manga. The current Headdliner is Muse Van Reyback, Cardinal in training who will be really well known in the future. Bang Doll's main armament is pretty unique, a Speid(Physical Blade) which can be used as Spaad(Laser Blade) as well so it is a two in one sword.

So far the one that manufacture FSS kits are Wave and Volks only and this kit is made by Volks. The 1/100 kit are really huge since it is almost as big as a Perfect Grade. Most of these kits in this scale are made from Resin which require high modelling skill to handle the kit. Too bad mine is not high enough yet but someday i will get one of those. Hopefully Wave will release the 1/144 scale in the future

Takemikazuchi Type 00-F


I am really tempted to get one of these Muvluv kits though i haven't played the VN yet and decided not to get it for now. This Tactical Surface Fighter(TSF) piloted by Yui, one of the main Heroine in Muvluv Total Eclipse. In terms of appearance it doesn't differ that much with the Takemikazuchi type 00R which is piloted by the main protagonist in Alternative. The color scheme is fine for me and i am really digging into the mech design. i will definitely play Muvluv started with Extra once i finished Clannad(which is soon enough i guess) and hopefully the translation for Alternative will be finished soon as well.

Cosmo Fleet Collection SRW OG


Megahouse plan to release this Gashapon collection by the end of this month with 4 boxes of the Ships in each box. This collection was first announced when SRW OG Inspectors airing first few episodes already. The gashapons look really good aside the Typos of the Ship name which get extra W in their name. I am thinking of getting this item as long as it is shippable with SAL. Hope that the content won't have any duplicates in each box considering i intend to collect all of them.

Yosuga no Sora


Pretty much mediocre VN adaptation.

Rance 8 announced!


It is confirmed now That this year Alicesoft will release new Rance Game along with their other VN titles and it will be the 8th installment of the Series. it seems that Rance get a new companion to replace Sill and it appears to be a new Character. Some recurring characters from previous series will also join Rance's Quest in this series. I played Sengoku Rance before and definitely it is one of the Top notch VN for sure. It seems the gameplay of this game will return to Rance 6 which is classic RPG dungeon exploration.
