I always wanted to try Fate/Grand Order the mobile game since I've been a fan of the Fate/Night series but, the gameplay turned out to be quite mundane and the gatcha system didn't feel very exciting with simple colour swaps. Can't say much about the story either since I haven't played that far in. That said, I came across this Lancer...
I've decided to make a list of Anime shows and movies I've watched for this year. Used to do episode summaries for my own reference just to remind me what happened but, I thought short reviews would be good too. They aren't all screened or aired this year. Some are actually quite old but of course, that doesn't mean they're bad. Maybe itll...
Never really got round to watching Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai) until I came across this figure. I first saw this figure back in 2014 and was impressed by the detail on the kimono and obi belt. Not sure why the figure is being re-manufactured this year in 2018. If you've never seen Garden of Sinners by Kinoko Nasu then you might know...

Bit late on this one but CoMix Wave has revealed their latest movie Shikioriori, inspired by Makoto Shinkai's 5cm, will get an early DVD disc release on the same day as its premiere in Japan on August 4th. This special pre-sales release will include an exclusive mini OST featuring 7 tracks from the anthology's music as well as the...
The girls from One Piece seem to get cast in a variety of themed clothing for the arcades. And as usual, there are bootleg versions floating around. Here is Boa Hancock from the "Flag Diamond Ship" series sporting a more stereotype pirate costume you'd probably see ladies wearing during Halloween - made available as an crane game prize...
Crane game prizes from Japan are popular items for being sold and they are quite cheap even in Japan going for around 1500 Yen (£10). AmiAmi sells them for around the same price and they're quite good quality for that price compared to the more expensive scale figures that can cost up to £180 each. However, even crane game prizes can have...
Inspired by Makoto Shinkai's 5 Centimetres per Second, Shanghai animation studio Haoliners has been working in collaboration with Comix Wave to create "Shikioriori [Unfolding of The Seasons]" (AKA 肆式青春, Sishi Qingchun "Flavours of Youth" in China). Just like 5cm, the movie is comprised of three short stories featuring the...
Came by this Makoto Shinkai Works 15th Anniversary stamp set while browsing around the Comix Wave website news section and ended up pre-ordering it through Whiterabbitexpress.com. Limited edition Anime/game themed stamp sets from Japan Post is nothing new apparently - something you'd probably won't see here in the UK often....
Decided to build the second Totoro papercraft I bought while in Japan this time, the Kusakabe sisters and the Cat Bus. I actually wanted to buy two other Totoro ones - one with the famous bus stop scene when Satsuki first meets Totoro and also the one when the family was moving into their new home. Unfortunately space is limited so I had to...
