FOR REAL IT WAS SO CONFUSING XD THEY WOULD JUST COME OUT OF NOWHERE AND EVERYONE JUST KEPT GOING ON WITH LIFE LIKE EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL XD Best way to describe TR Hanamaru would be “orphanage frat house of hot bois who save time”. And no it totally makes sense to fall in love with a character you don’t know, there’s definitely a list of those somewhere for me lmao. Sometimes they’re so good-looking that everything else in their life just doesn’t matter X’D I fell in love with Giyu the moment I saw him in episode 1 of Demon Slayer and he’s been my favorite ever since. Sometimes you just get the feeling lol

True!!! I’m so glad you feel the same about that, that there doesn’t always need to be a female present. More of an extreme for me, but one of my least favorite character types in anime is the helpless damsel-in-distress female lead who always has to rely on the male protagonists to save her butt all the time. Y’know, the one who can’t do anything for herself and almost always causes trouble for the main male lead who has to drop everything he’s doing to go and save her when she gets kidnapped every other episode… It’s worse when she’s the love interest for him too, which happens 99% of the time. That’s another reason TR appealed to me, because there was no helpless female to drag down the guys and they just got to be badass all the time hahaha.

Haha honestly- anime needs to stop making its male characters so good-looking and wholesome, it’s setting the bar waaaay too high for what we have in real life. My expectations will never be met at this point XD And true, that’s a good way to look at buying figures! I definitely need to work on my “I don’t need it” mindset, I give in to fomo too much.

Oh I have a Discord! My username is Ninja07#7865 and my profile pic is the same as my one on here if that even matters lol

Haha I went into the series knowing nothing XD Also watched Hanamaru first which was just kind of their daily life at the temple and I remember being SO confused because I didn’t understand that they randomly summoned new members there and every episode there was a new weapon who would just walk in and introduce himself with some long-ass name and be like “I live here now”. It was so confusing, it was like “where are all you people coming from??? What’s going on??” XD That was the main clue that led me to believe it was a gacha game once I started to piece together what was happening lol. So I feel like a good explanation is in place which will probably be the introduction of the game.

And hey, some series are that good! (Ones that you don’t need to understand what’s happening to enjoy it) I’ve seen a few anime that were either really confusing or just didn’t do a good job of explaining anything but I loved them anyway because they were just enjoyable to watch. I think that was Katsugeki for me lol. I was super lost story-wise but the animation, soundtrack, visuals and badass and hot characters were able to make it really fun to watch anyway. And lol! I only have one gacha game that I play right now and it’s so addicting *^* Whoever came up with gacha style games was a genius haha.

Yeah the boys are too pretty to stop, if only boys in real life were anything like the hundreds of husbandos I have in my room then maybe I wouldn’t be so obsessed lmao that was the most weeb sentence I’ve ever said in my life :’) Anyway, the Giyu figure is still in stock but only 1 left and I’m not letting myself get it. I’m definitely sad that I’m gonna miss out but I just can’t justify that price. Especially if you’re not a premium member, they expect people to pay $260 for it??? Kind of proud of myself for the bit of restraint I’m showing but I’m sure the regret will come later lmao. Especially when the aftermarket strikes back with double the amount of his original price :’D

Yeah I’d love for more of them to get a background. I hate to say it but the anime didn’t do a good job of explaining their world or any of the characters, at least from what I remember. I haven’t seen it in a while but I remember being pretty confused the first time I watched it because you’re just kind of thrown into it and they don’t explain a lot. Because of that, I think the English release of the games would probably help a ton with familiarizing you with their universe and everything. The plot was really cool too for Katsugeki but they just kind of assume you, as the watcher, already are familiar with everything so if you’re just an anime fan then you’re gonna be lost XD

Ah I loved so much that Kanesada was one of the main characters in Katsugeki, he’s my fav tied with Kogitsunemaru. I don’t really remember much about Yasusada at all so I kind of feel neutral about him lol. And isn’t the game a gacha style game? If so then I feel we’re both gonna get really addicted lmao.

And to be honest, I wish I didn’t like this hobby T-T It takes up too much space and money but I somehow enjoy it too much to stop. I just had to pick the most expensive hobby to get addicted to :l And so true, it’s so easy to see the comparison of older nendos and all the parts they had vs newer ones that come with practically nothing but are more expensive. The deluxe versions are annoying too, just making you spend more for one more accessory or something -_-* I’m honestly still baffled at scale prices nowadays and how they’re getting away with an average price of $170 for a simple 1/7 or 1/8 scale, it’s just too much.

There’s a figure of Giyu from Demon Slayer that I really want and it’s only an 1/8 scale but priced at $260. I’m a premium member so I’d get it for $210 but including shipping, it comes to $245. I’ve added it to my cart so many times because it’s about to go out of stock and every time I see the price I take it out because I can’t justify spending $245 on a simple 1/8 scale, it’s ridiculous T-T

Ah I’ve heard about that! I’m definitely looking forward to it, really want to play it so I can actually know the origin of all my hot swordbois lol. I even tried watching a gameplay video of it a long time ago too but had no idea what was going on so I gave up. I’ve only played Stardew Valley on my laptop since I don’t have a PC, I much prefer using consoles. But depending on what kind of game TRO is, I don’t think controls will be a difficult issue with it thankfully.

Hahaha, one of the only characters that actually got development while the others were all just providing filler XD I have no clue what the movies are gonna be about but I’m sure they’ll be good. And true! I kind of feel that way with the scales. I definitely have different priorities for figures but my TR figure collection is slowly growing, I have 9 of the standing scales now and 3 noodle stoppers and one awkward prize figure. You kinda get so into it that it becomes addicting to collect them all lol

FOR REAL THO I’ve seen so many 1/7th scales being released at over $200 lately, it’s insane! Like there’s nothing even special about them. Maybe I’d consider that price worth it if they came with the entire blu-ray set of their series cuz otherwise wtf. It’s actually really upsetting tho, I’ve seen a lot of people on here quit the hobby just because prices are getting stupid high for no real reason :/ Hundreds of dollars for a simple 1/7 and 1/8 scale is seriously becoming the norm and it’s gonna turn a lot of people off.

Ah I know, I love Ufotable, I think they make such amazing work *^* Do you have any idea what the movies are going to be about? Lmao I wish they'd just make all the characters. I know there's a TON but it'd be awesome to have the option to buy your favorites, or at least the most aesthetic ones lol.

And I'm expecting it to be at least $500 T-T It looked massive from the one picture I saw and figures are waaaaay overpriced nowadays so I know they're gonna try to milk out every cent that they can from buyers :( Because of that, I'm also expecting Mutsu to be on the higher end as well, like you said. I wish they'd stop making figures so expensive today, no one's gonna be able to afford it anymore :')

Ahhhh I saw that! I'm so excited! The animation to Katsugeki was so gorgeous, I hope they have the same studio making the movies as the one that did that series. And seriously! I feel like the characters from the anime would sell really well, I'm still waiting for the spearbois too lol.

And hey at least you don't have to go broke then XD I saw only a few things that I was interested in but they looked sooooo expensive :') One of them at least, I'm kind of scared for the price to be revealed

Oh man, Wonfes was a total bust this time. There's only two Nendos I plan on ordering, ITEM #1131750 and ITEM #1131761.

Yeah, that wouldn't be such a bad idea - I don't use Discord but I'm on MAL several times a day usually, so we can continue our chats over there View spoilerHide spoilerpleeeease take my MAL comment section's virginity... lmao. I don't mind if you still drop me a comment here from time to time though! I used to chat with a few people here which was cool, but they all stop replying eventually.

Haha, it must be nice and quiet right now tho! Where are you actually located? Don't think I've ever asked.

I managed to watch a couple more episodes of number24 on the weekend, so I'm up to ep 8 now. But yesss, it's all just pretty boys and not a whole lot of sport... lmao. I mean, I'm all for fujoshi heaven, but I'm slightly disappointed at the lack of any real rugby matches!

I'll have to see if I can at least read some of Sasaki & Miyano before the anime arrives. You're doing a pretty good job of selling it to me... haha.

Yes... he totally is! He's not a fudanshi but he's open to watching BL on occasion. His fave is Love Stage. My mother knows about my BL obsession; but my father, other brother and closest friends don't. I can only imagine the criticism I'd get if they knew...

Ohhhh the Given movie was amazing. I'm not going to spoil anything, but the ending was so, so satisfying. :') Hope we get a season 2 of the anime someday. ❤

OMG THE SAME THING LITERALLY HAPPENED TO ME WITH KONOSUBA, I'M SCREAMING

I really like Kazuma's Nendoroid. I think he is SO cute and I tried so hard to get one, but I just never had enough money. I tried to watch the Konosuba show in the mean time, but like, I couldn't keep watching it. I really didn't like it either. Kazuma is such an awful person!!!

I STILL want a Kazuma Nendoroid just because of an inside joke I have with myself, but it's like, he was only $50 a year ago, then suddenly 2020 comes and you can't get him for less than $150. I was so shocked! I didn't see it happening because I had been in the hospital and dealing with personal issues so long, I couldn't buy Nendoroids or anything for such a long time last year... :'-(

I hope they rerelease him, and yes, I will enjoy these sword bois!!!

Oh I hope not, I'm still praying that they make more... Anything you saw from WonFest that you're excited for?
