Makoto Shinkai's next movie will be "Tenki no Ko [Weather Child]" due to première in July 19th. Subtitled as "Weathering with You", the story tells of a young man named Hotaka (played by Kotarou Daigo) who decided to run away to Tokyo from his home on an isolated island during su...
I quite enjoyed the ACCA-13 Anime because it was steadily paced like nothing's happening but you had to pay attention to what's going on. That and it has some great theme songs like "Shadow and Truth". It has some great retro looking backgrounds and world setting too. So here's t...
So, let's have a look at how well this bootleg version of ARTFX's Sakura Shinguji 1/8 Scale figure sold back in 2016 October for 14904 Yen (£100) is. This bootleg arrived whole... Well, almost. The katana handle had snapped off during transit =/ Otherwise there were no parts to p...
The heroine for this figure is from one of those Anime shows that have a long, long name... Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabukome wa Machigatte'ru AKA OreGairu or Hamachi in Japanese. English localisation is a bit more generic as My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU... Google that and you'll e...
A slice-of-life romcom that started off as a comic on the Japanese online artists community Pixiv before being serialised as a web comic. 26 year old Narumi Momose seems like your average optimistic cheery girl but she has a secret. She doesn't want anyone to find out she's an Ot...
That said, I really liked the way the skirt, weapon and the rest of the gear was sculpted on this figure. Apparently this was originally a limited edition figure that could only be pre-ordered through the March/April issues of Hobby Japan back in 2016. So, let's see what this boo...
Yusaku Godai is a "ronin", a student waiting for his next chance to pass university entrance exams. To make things worse, he lives in a shared rundown apartment called the "Ikkoku Apartment" with a group of inconsiderate and strange neighbours. Despite his best efforts to study a...
Anyway, let's have a look at this bootleg version of 15+ Only Orchidseed's Triage X: Yuko Sagiri "Ver. Darkness" (NSFW) 1/7 Scale figure that went for 12,980 Yen (£87) back in 2016 May is like. Figure comes in a lot of parts. The long hair on the front is clearly a different colo...
That said, I came across this Lancer Scathach figure and thought it had an interesting pose with great detail on the hair and clothing. So, let's see how this bootleg version of PMOA's 1/7 scale figure measures up to the real figure sold back in 2016 November for 13500 Yen (£91)...
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...
