Turns out she's from a 6 episode space shonen from 2004 called Diebuster, and it even got a movie at some point. Just might have to watch it. I'm not bummed on the figure at all, considering I only paid $14 for it. It's quite nice as well. Has 3 different faces, another set of arms, weird metal bars that stick out of her legs... but more importantly, her little hair swoop is articulated lol.
But for now, I'm finally going to view the hype firsthand: Welcome to the NHK.
Those are some very pretty pictures; which anime are they from??
Diebuster is a continuation/prequel/sequel(the time-line is kinda pretzel-ed, gonna have to watch it to understand) to Gunbuster, one of the classic giant robot anime.
The fall season has my attention...

2nd season of Log Horizon too.![]()
Nagi no Asukara. I do recommend it, they even pulled off the romance rather well despite it looking bad for most of the show (love triangles and stuff that doesn't go anywhere tend to be annoying). The production is top notch, including the design aspects of it, world, characters, outfits. It isn't for the action-oriented audience obviously, but it isn't a slice-of-life show either.. perhaps something between Seirei no Moribito and Kokoro Connect, both of which were great as well btw.
I think I'm content with anime again for a while. Afterall, I did watch something like 80 episodes during the school week since I also watched Special A in addition to NGE and Nagi no Asukara.
I just started watching DeadMan Wonderland on netflix & it's pretty sweet. It's about a prison where they film gameshows & reality TV with the prisoners for funding. A demon(or something) kills everyone in the MC's school classroom causing him to be convicted for the murder and sent to the prison where as he struggles to adapt to life there, he finds himself wrapped up in a sprawling conspiracy. The show gets shockingly twisted and morbid at times![]()
I got to thinking about something; how does this guy make a living? Look, I'm not far into it, but at this point, he has no job. His apartment costs money, because his neighbor mentions he needed someplace "cheap", which implies that there is rent, even if it's not much. And then there's the food, internet, electricity, ect.. Does Japan willingly give money to the unemployed? It's understandable if you were fired or had to leave, but this guy has been NEET for like what... 3 years? There's money in the US for people who fail to meet certain mental priorities, so maybe he gets money for being socially dysfunctional, or whatever medical condition that would fall under. He doesn't actually seem to have any issue talking to people though, even if he says some derpy shit every now and again.^ That relatability of NHK was, to me, its main selling point. I've never been nearly the hermit that the protagonist is (that'd be extremely alarming >_>), but either I've been in a similar enough position to understand him, or the show really knows how to work some black magic to convey the feeling perfectly. It gets progressively sadder as it goes on, but funny bits are always present everywhere to provide some comic relief and somewhat alleviate the mood.
Gah, I think I might start it again. I'm gonna watch the first episode tonight. Let's see if I pick up enough momentum to actually finish it.
Ah, that would also make sense.^ I don't remember if they explain that, actually. I seem to remember an episode where he gets a visit from his mother and he tries to clean up his place so that she doesn't find out he's NEET, as she is the one paying for his place, but I may actually be imagining things. I'm like 50% sure that that happens. I know it happens in some NEET anime that I watched, but I am not exactly sure which one.
Haruhi's parents are probably relieved they don't have to put up with her much as a result. I imagine raising her was a pain in the arse.*cough*HARUHICHARACTERS*cough*
I just watched the very last episode of Zankyou no Terror...

OT: I'm glad it keeps some of the comic relief throughout.![]()
Psycho Pass done.
Kill la Kill started.
vroom.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Just finished it myself, it was awesome! And, and... Ahhhhhh!
small things that kinda bothered me-In the end, the american army killed Twelve, then waited. Why? Did they know Nine would just die by himself? I mean sure, dramatic speech time, but I found that to be kinda annoyingly-weird... Second, where the hell was Lisa's mom?girl run's away from home, her mom calls her a few times and then forgets about her? can be explained but meh... I AM kinda nitpicking here so w/e. Also Yay for Twelve's Synesthesia! I've got it too
