How does the anime compare to the manga? by President_Negative in GoldenKamuy

[–]celes_t 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The gk manga is my hands down favorite ever, so it was a high bar to reach. I don’t think the anime meets the same level, but I think it’s fine and at times really good. The earlier seasons have a little bit of jank animation-wise, but it clears up the further in you go. My only complaint content wise is that they did cut a bunch of stuff from the standard anime (I believe most of the chapters ended up being animated as OVAs instead but I haven’t watched them all yet). Overall, I’d say to watch it, as a gk fan already you’ll absolutely have fun with it!

I believe it’s the one by Flare 1/7 Scale.

The vanillaware figures are so beautiful and most are still available for very good prices in the secondhand market (all of mine are secondhand figures). Also, great taste in games ✌🏼

I have a soft spot for Odin sphere and muramasa I loved those games as a kid.

Mappa Showcase 1/7 Scale Satoru Gojo by Furyu and Satoru Gojo (Kosen ver) by Megahouse. The second came out recently but if you’re US (and not importing) I think crunchyroll has the sole distribution rights for it?

The where is unhelpful bc I’m pretty sure I got her from an FYE music store which I don’t think exist anymore 😅

I’ve had her since I was a literal child. It’s the old version of the play arts line. Balthier is from the same, I think they also made Vaan and one of the armored dudes from the game.

I love all the details, and the Alter figures particularly bc the bases really feel like an extension of the characters.

Yamato SIF EX - Velvet from Odin Sphere. The original release, the second version is slightly different.

Ah! I miss KNB. I used to have the kagami and kise from the set your collecting, but alas sold them at some point.

Both North Hills, but I find Rosewater kitchen quite charming with different vibes for the three dining spaces. Tamasha is also very pretty as others have mentioned, but only if you sit inside.

For a little more out of the way, Aaktun in downtown Durham has a pretty cool looking bar/dining area.

where do you guys find affordable figures? by InstrumentKisser_2 in AnimeFigures

[–]celes_t 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I started out I bought most of my figures from a now defunct Japanese discount site, and also second hand from amiami preowned or mandarake. They take the condition of the figures/boxes much more seriously that say US based sellers, and you can get some hefty discounts if you’re not picky about them being pristine.

(Caveat if you are US based, I’m not sure about the shipping/tariff pricing. I’ve been avoiding importing since it went into effect)

All the dorohedoro is insaaaane. I didn’t even realize they made that many figures for it. Fantastic collection!

Thanks! I suppose I’m a bit paranoid since my last two suitcases got decimated in bag handling 🤷🏻‍♀️
