Fate/Stay Night Fate Route Cleared!


  It might be coincidence but 30th January 2019 marks the 15th anniversary of Fate/Stay Night and glad that i finished Saber's route for the second time at this timing! At very least this make a good offering to the most successful Typemoon series and hope Nasu could keep giving us quality stuffs hereafter. I will keep my promise to clear all of the 3 Routes Endings so i could see the conclusion of Realta Nua.

January 2019 Loot


 I splurged quite a lot for my collection last month and these are some remaining bits of the loot that made it around this time. Not as much but they are still some Quality hauls that i managed to get. As always my FGO merchandise has increased again since i followed the game which i got myself 2 Ichiban Kujis and Figma Saber Lily this time. But the rarest bits of the Hauls are the SRC Big Order Room 3&4 which i got from Surugaya proxy which cost me around 2 Million Rupiah though i have prepared the budget for them in the first place. Nendoroid Jack Frost also make good addition to my Persona collection and it is a good thing i waited for rerun preorder, lastly POP Zinogre would make a great asset for Monster hunter series. I suppose the upcoming reviews will be mostly FGO related but i will try my best to balance things out.

Starting Over Fate/Stay Night


 It is more than 10 years already since i played Fate VN and it is still one of the better title that i have read. With Heaven's Feel Movie airing, i think the time has come to settle my scores. Back then i only have finished Fate and UBW route while leaving HF for some reason. This time i am starting over from Fate again to experience the complete journey of this series once more which i will definitely savor it well. This journey will definitely enhance my FGO experience as well and i am going to share my overall thoughts once i completed Heaven's Feel.

Konosuba Figma 425 Kazuma


 Well the Hikineet finally joins Figma lineup after making an appearance in Nendoroid Last year! I suppose Max Factory needs some time to put out Darkness but i suppose we will see some appearance in Wonderfest next month. Figma 425 Kazuma will be released on July this year with standard figma price tag of 6800 Yen. Kazuma's figma comes with the same accessories of the Nendoroid counterpart which include mostly frustrated face expression and the Chunchunmaru looks not bad. But to be honest, Kazuma's bonus is the worst one for a Figma that i have seen so far. I will definitely get the Figma since i am completing the Figma set anyway and i am getting my copy of Aqua Figma soon. I am quite eager to try the new Konosuba game but with my current load, i will just get the copy when it is on Discount.

Cowboy Bebop SHF Spike Spiegel


 As a part of 20th Year Anniversary of Cowboy Bebop, Tamashii Nation announce the release for SHF Spike Spiegel last month. Not the best rendition of this free spirited Bounty Hunter, but at least it is a good substitute for the now rare Kotobukiya Figure. The SHF will be released on April this year with 6000 Yen price tag. The SHF does not come with many accessories but it seems that it is nimble enough to pull some roundhouse kick pose. At first i was considering to get this figure but my company happens to still have the Kotobukiya with good discount so i will get that one instead.

 Spike is one of the more unique Anime Protagonist out there created in the time where Anime Characters can afford to have some attitude. Beneath his carefree attitude, Spike comes with amazing marksmanship skill, kickass Bruce Lee Kungfu and troubled past in single package. His Journey in the tv series is one of the best Space Outlaw story out there and i am curious how SRW T will handle it. I think there is a good chance for Bandai to release Swordfish in Chogokin lineup most likely so i will look forward at that!

See You Space Cowboy...

Pokemon Gashapon Cap Chara Vol 1 Review


 For Gashapon, i usually only took particular care for the ones that complement 1/12 Action Figure, but occasionally there are Gashapon Toys which had good novelty value that i bother enough to collect them. One of them is Cap Chara which are miniature figure which the Head of the figure can serve as the storage for body Parts. Bandai has released this lineup for several series like Crayon Shinchan or Sanrio Characters, but they do happen make some as well for Pokemon. This is the Review for the first volume since i managed to collect the whole set.

FW Gundam Converge #11 Review


 Posting up stuffs that i am unable to make it last year and this is the continuation of the review for Gundam Converge Series. I started collecting the full set for this Candy Toy lineup since the 10th edition and should be doing the same thing onward. Gundam Converge #11 are particularly noted for Solid representation of Gundam Wing which occupy 4 out of 6 Slots and all of the Variants are all good entries. Perhaps i should have invested on this lineup earlier since i miss couple of good ones on 6th and 7th Edition

Rakuen Tsuihou - Expelled From Paradise


 Another Urobuchi's Work that i decided to give a spin after Gargantia as the series making a debut to SRW T! Rakuen Tsuihou overall has nice Scifi concepts, but in the end it just lined up with the series that are wasted potential. However Saitom do make some good piece of eyecandy! The Premise of Expelled from Paradise overall are somewhat similar to Gargantia where a person from highly sophisticated civilization interacted with more backward Society by circumstances. Except that the roles are reversed with Gargantia as this time the Main Heroine is the one who come from the Highly Civilization.  The series has some Solid Scifi Concepts such as Human Consciousness turned into digital form and another good showcase of Sentient AIs. But unfortunately the concepts that Rakuen Tsuihou tried to bring up just can't make it into full potential as Movie format, as the pacing just doesn't allow such luxury. To me the Concept of Rakuen is the Selling Point of the series and if it wasn't a movie, actually it can make without Mecha Actions because it actually doesn't need one. It if unfortunate but the series just happen to become wasted potential because Japanese animation industry need to fulfill its end meet with their fast paced nature. Personally i think Gargantia would fit better in SRW compared to Tsuihou but perhaps the game could spark interest for the series so it can get a Sequel or something.
