They were actually able to take a shitty looking Gunpla (Edgia Dark Matter) with its pinks and purples, and make it look dangerous and imposing. Reminded me of some ZOE bosses at points. Then Double Build Knuckle was hype. And next episode... What I'm pretty sure was A Baoa Qu appears, and all the different Gunpla (including Bearguy-san lo) team up, with the caption "Gunpla Last Shooting". Sign me the fuck up, why can't next week get here faster. And why is next week the last episode!??! Pls more Build Fighters, Bandai!!! + Show Spoiler +I dislike build knuckle/RG system somewhat, so I'm glad it at least took a DOUBLE build knuckle to win. Edgia was pretty good, had some nice moves.
Aand kampfer amazing sold out where I had my monthly order, well shiet. Next month. + Show Spoiler +The RG system was getting old, so I'm glad they changed it up by bringing out the only thing stronger than the Build Knuckle.... TWO Build Knuckles. When it comes down to it, who can argue with this? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/85XhlnA.jpg) Your Symphogear waifu would be proud. Fists solve all problems. And as for GBF Gunpla woes, get a load of mine. I go on HLJ, trying to get Wing Fenice. Its listed as March Restock at the time. So I place an order (this was like in February or something). March comes, its changed to Backordered. And then it goes from Backordered to May Restock. Its like Bandai isn't putting out enough Gunpla to properly rob me! And its not just the Fenice. Kampfer Amazing and GM Sniper doge both sold out, took a while for Star Build Strike to get back in stock, and Command Gundam is backordered and who knows how long it will be before that comes back. If it's not in stock, HLJ seems like a bad choice. I recall hearing about someone waiting months for a backordered/whatever item. Meanwhile an amiami backorder means it'll take a week or two. Obviously it depends on the item, but... that seems to be the case most of the time. Futayo figma soon Tsukihi soon for those who care Last time I got something off Amiami, my Black Getter ended up sitting at customs for like a month. ehhh,, US customs is pretty chill, sure they didnt mix some anthrax in there ? Maybe they just held on to it for so long because they wanted to play with it or something. But I was getting irritated with how long I had to wait.

US Customs can be a huge pain in the ass if they actually took notice of your stuff.

I actually enjoy the political side the show that its taking, finding it more interesting. The problems with the weak lvl raids that people were mentioning did seem pretty bad. If it was something like the AQ gates opening event in WoW then I can understand it.
Overall quite a neat show that I am enjoying. Hopefully the mysteries in the show don't backstab them later on in the story. He has like 3 going after him? Only 2 kinda active about it though.
MMORPG noob's digest is eh, I wasn't thrilled but I can kind of understand it. The compulsion to compare random shit to mmo combat though is really annoying.

which they do when it needs to be taxed, dont think plastic model toys fall into that category, I think Sentenals theory is more plausible. Amiami also practically uses the post office, and we all know how awesome they are.

I know, I ship potentially "hazardous" electronics in the the thousands every week. You have to label stuff very very wrong for it to get stuck, even then it takes a day to fix it. If you know what your doing.

There are going to be OVAs that adapt one of the story arcs (according to MAL) that are bundled with a special edition of the manga. Other then that the season is over.
Why resist reading? Its fun and you won't have to wait forever to know how the shenanigans continue (that is if they even make a season 2).
On another note I powered through SYD seasons 1 and 2. It kinda gets old it seemed like but that fact never really grated on me like it does with other anime. It has some decent attributes but nothing especially good about it either. Seems the type of style that is good in small doses (like the manga format which seem to be short). I might check them out sometime.

If there's no season 2, then I'll likely just read the manga then.

Not much of that translated though, as far as I can find at least.
Tokyo Ravens was a weird show though, first few episodes were really good. Then the pacing sucked for half of the show till it got pretty good again in the end. + Show Spoiler +Plus adult Kon is best Kon. It's a shame we only got to see her for like 10 minutes :<

So just finished Shinsekai yori, and despite me not liking the animation and direction much, the sound and plot were pretty great. Somehow the show left me unsettled the entire time, which ramped up toward the end. Also great pace imo. Opinions?
Also am struggling to find much to watch atm, recently finished kaiji, now waiting for new jojo, and watching Another, as well as downloading gundam 00 (first gundam for me ever, might be wrong place to start)

Finished the last 3 episodes of Log Horizon. + Show Spoiler +Add two to the MC harem. Very curious why the adventurers were protecting that one Lord of the west. Good way to end the season with many things happening at once. It amazes me how much information Shiroe is able to obtain about the current world's situation.
Watched a 15 min preview of Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara. There's a lot of desu guys. A lot of desu...........
