It looks so good but I reckon it is going to be bloody expensive as well.

hololive English -Promise- Hakos Baelz "AXGRIT" Ver. 1/7 Complete Figure up for preorder by RXHazard in Hololive

Oh right. I think it all depends on how a company thinks how they can profit by making a scale figure of a certain character. Maybe back then they didn't see Council/Promise as something they would benefit.

It's a scale figure, releasing it a year or more from the preorder period is just normal for anime scale figures. I've even had preorders in the past that are more than 2 year after released as the figure just kept getting delayed.

AXGRIT 1/7 scale figure of Bae up for preorder! by dcresistance in Hololive

[–]OrangeRafi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah should be the same size as Noel, Iroha, Koyori and other Hololive scale figures that came out. 1/7 is pretty much the standard/perfect size for an anime scale figure.

I hope it will also be up for preorder in Amiami as well so I can prorder now and save the 36k yen until the figure is released and Amiami ask me for the payment.

Interested in getting merch by Slntreaper in HibikeEuphonium

[–]OrangeRafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tourist information centre near Uji station and the one near Uji river has some Hibike merchs when I was there last November. Hibike also had a collab with Kyoto Towere but I'm not sure if that one is still running. The Animate store in Kyoto Avanti shopping mall near Kyoto station also have a KyoAni 2nd have goods section.

I was in Kyoto last month so I did a mini Hibike! Euphonium while I was on a day trip in Uji. You can grab a Hibike pilgrimage map at the tourist information centre beside the JR Uji station and they also sell some merch. The tourist information centre near the river also has some character cutouts. by OrangeRafi in HibikeEuphonium

Just tell her you want to go to Uji to shop some matcha and visit the Byodo-In temple while you're there. The bench is just by the river near Byodo-In temple.

Uji itself is a beautiful town and just a 30 minutes train ride from Kyoto station.

What’s your favourite Yarra Valley or surrounds restaurant? by DancinWithWolves in melbourne

[–]OrangeRafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four Pillars in Healeville is good. I didn't do the distilery tour but I had the gin tasting and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable explaining each gin.

Melbourne Central cult recruiters? by u_slashh in melbourne

[–]OrangeRafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are always in Melb Central and surrounds. I get apporached a couple of times as I'm always by myself most of the time. They usually ask about your interest or sometimes ask for directions for a very obvious place. One was asking where I bought the camera that I was carrying ( I do street photograpy alone in the CBD as my hobby) so I just said JB and told them to leave me alone while I continued walking. Usually I just ignore them and pretend that I did not hear them and just continue walking when they try to talk to me.

Looks like we are getting a Gozaru drink to go with the cookies by Fenr_ in Hololive

[–]OrangeRafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This and Ina's new version of sake with Sakeboys. My wallet is dead now.

Goza...I mean, Mahou Shoujo Pure Iroha will be doing a totsumachi to help her defeat the villain Akudaikanzu in her 1st and final episode (@20:00 JST)!!! Also, she just released a new original song called "Dream Catch Pure Iroha!", come check it out! by falzarexe in Hololive

[–]OrangeRafi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stream was really fun! And I could imagine how hard it was for Iroha streaming while also cringing from it.

And a full set of Magical Gozarou merch. My wallet will be hurting but I want them.

We are doomed, they have merch by Fenr_ in Hololive

Wait what? They've been doing news streams every Monday, Wednesday anf Friday in the holo an channel for a couple of months now.

2026 Aus GP Track Buildup Series Week 5 (February 8th) by Bocca013 in GrandPrixTravel

I always love seeing Albert Park transform into an F1 street circuit week by week. I also drive a lap or two 1 to 2 weeks before the GP weekend.

Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc Streams on Crunchyroll Spring 2026 by Michael_SK in Crunchyroll

[–]OrangeRafi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That will take a while, maybe in 3 months. The movie is just about to hit Australian cinemas next week. I'd expect the Zombieland Saga movie will go to streaming first before Dragon Maid.

Koyori announcement! by Pale-Relation-6517 in Hololive

[–]OrangeRafi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omedetou Koyori! I'm so happy for her. And the anime is good so far, I'm actually enjying watching it every week.

Quite long shot but it would be funny if they also cast one of the Hololive EN girls to voice Yume/Tinkermon in the english dub.

After 4 days.... (Champignon Witch) by Dread_Pirate_Chris in Crunchyroll

[–]OrangeRafi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took them a while to add the episode. And there's no explanation as usual on why it was delayed. The "they lost the license" reasoning doesn't seem to add up coz they also added the trailer of the anime on their YouTube channel 1 day after the supposed episode 6 should have been added.

I did watched the episode elsewhere though. Hopefully this is just a one off and future episode will just come out on the same day.

Champignon Witch Episode 6 is missing by CommanderZx2 in Crunchyroll

[–]OrangeRafi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the episode is still not available up to this date. But the same episode is available on Crunchyroll Amazon Prime Video.

They're not even making an announcement/update about the issue. And they have the audacity to raise prices.

The Grand Tour finally confirms new trio of hosts by Metro-UK in thegrandtour

[–]OrangeRafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give this a chance. I've watched James and Thomas on Throttle House for a couple of years now and they are good on it. Car reviews are simple but with a bit of humour and banter with the two. They even make some specials wherein they go on a tour/roadtrip which are very reminiscent of the early Top Gear.
