I saw that Homura up there but I just couldn't swing it right now unfortunately. She averages about 10k so whatever I end up paying won't be that much more than what she was going for.
Sayaka is my favorite character from the show so I got her figure first and it didn't disappoint at all. Gorgeous sculpt.
That Madoka figure seems very readily available(can still buy her new from Ami) so I might go for her next. After Rebellion I'm not in a super rush to get a Homura figure haha.

So I paid like $4 for this little Merida and she is actually a lot cooler than I thought she would be. She'll look great next to my Banshee when it is done being painted.
Edit. Also Samurai is gorgeous. That is all.

Part of the problem with it for me is where it ends. Not so much what actually happened but it just doesn't feel like a conclusion at all. It was basically Empire Strikes Back in the way it played out at the end. Empire got a sequel though, hopefully the same happens here.

same here Sayaka is my fav, not only because she has swords(I instantly love swordie characters) with her story I kind of felt bad for her and I felt related to her reasons to become a Mahou Shoujo, also my first scale was Sayaka P:... but I also like Mami, she is pretty badass(that fight in

Did you come up with that one all by yourself? There's a doggie biscuit in the top shelf.
Posting one of the worst offenders in of the series does not refute my statement. Sayaka's motivation and descent into madness is so poorly executed because of the petty nature of her transformation.
Her selfless wish turn selfish desire is an interesting concept trounced from the fact that she digs a pit for herself and freely skydives into it (metaphorically speaking). It's difficult to offer remorse or sympathy for a character that has a sense of logic rivaling a roach approaching a RAID bait. Even taking age and immediate mahou context into consideration, her choices ranging from holding back from Kyou to allowing corruption had a clear right and wrong option going into them, to which she would consistently take the latter in name of love and depression. No grey here.

I really liked madoka...the movie is fucking ass though
Pray that she doesn't skyrocket in preowned and snag as soon as you can!
Yum!
Actually one of my teachers in middle school would jokingly say that about stuff he didn't think highly of. It's basically the main thing I remember about that guy lol
And as mentioned before I don't really think that lowly of nichijou. It didn't engage me but I can see the appeal.
I know they said that they have no future plans for a sequel, but I don't see anyone believing them.
If I'm remembering correctly it's said that whatever wish you make WILL have an opposite reaction in equal proportion to what you wished for. Everything that happened to her after was a direct result of the wish she got granted, that's the way of things in that universe. I think you're dismissing the power of the emotions behind her wish far too easily. And expecting logic and reasoning to override her thinking in such an emotionally charged, weird situation is unreasonable.
Nice, thanks for the picture!
I should receive mine tomorrow. Hopefully [EMS].

It sounds like they'll be shipping out replacement bodies [sans swimsuit] for all orders. That means no paint transfer/peg holes. O_O
I really hope N-Y acts as a medium for this. They should, considering I purchased her from them.

Well..... My Watamote Nendo shipped from Entertainment Earth. $56.44 shipped. Holy shit, I can't believe they actually got one for me.
Haha, what a random example.
Wow, that's awesome. Most of their nendo prices are pretty nuts but in her case that's a post-release steal.
I don't know what this is.
Is it poorly executed though? I've seen people act in crazier ways IRL. She seems positively sane in regards to what I've seen recently.
It's an actual show. One I haven't seen, but nonetheless it's an actual show. It has figure merchandise, too. Originally a light novel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listen_to_Me,_Girls._I_Am_Your_Father!
It was my first foray into non-shonen anime. My friend told me it was hilarious.
He was trolling. He said to watch until the end, that it paid off. :/
One college student ends up with 3 "adopted" girls who he has to take care of due to unfortunate circumstances. A 14 year old, 10 year old, and 3 year old. Kinda heartwarming at times. 6.5/10.

those are some reasons of why I liked her, everything regarding her transformation into a witch was a big fucked up decision and she knew it, after all if whatishisface-kun would end up with her, she was still a "zombie"-girl, and between her helping others but not helping herself mentality you could see more or less what this "despair" that magical girls eventually fall into is like, but yeah, her reasons & examples were pretty childish(like she getting mad at those guys in the train lol) but still gave us a hint
to me she was pretty much the typical magic girl steriotype(saving others, happy endings, etc) that doesn't work on her world/rules, someone good who made bad desicions, something that some people can relate to, maybe why I feel sorry for her :'D
it was Persona Waifu wars a few pages back, now it's Madoka wars!! j/k
I like to know the opinion of others regarding those shows, because you can end up seeing something from a different perspective
This is what I think is happening anytime anyone tells me to watch Oreimo.
The premise of Oreimo is actually quite good, and it has it's moments.
Then it goes full wtf. Reminds of me Sword Art Online. Harmless, kinda fun, not bad, then...jesuswhatdidyoudo.
Oreimo was hilarious from an outsider's perspective due to the western fans slowly realizing that the show was exactly what the title suggested it was towards the end of the series.

I suppose that's a case. Emotional charges can lead to crazy reactions. Still rather drastic spiral though.
I can't be mad at this. ;__;
I would question who you've seen recently (besides Florida_Man)! But people do be crazy tho.

I had the feeling something was close to that was gonna happen. I was right.
I'm not weirded out tho.

Since this is anime time right now, I'm trying to catch up on Reconguista and dear lord, this is my reaction:
Even following the episodes it seems like there is a couple missing, like I'm only watching odd numbered episodes.

Is there anyway to pay for stuff at AmiAmi other than PayPal? For some reason it's forcing me to create an account, which it never did before.
And since when did this bullshit start, anyway?

Yes, it is pretty. Though I admit that I laughed when I noticed that the red-haired girl space uniform (the white part) looks like she's wearing a string monokini like Borat.
You can pay with visa or mastercard directly.

Cool. I have to e-mail them directly, or is there a link buried on their site? I'll go poke around, but any insight would be appreciated.
After Satan is paid for, I have no more figures lingering... Feels good, man. Feels good.
My samurai should be here within the week- so excited, she looks great!

I got burned by someone suggesting Bible Black when I was in my first year of college. I was not ready for that. :lol
What the hell is this?
Eh, will join will I get home. I'm 20 hours into MH4U and I think I'm ready to go online with my scrubby dual swordsman once I'm done grinding Kut-ku armor (fuck this monster, seriously).
What's Line? Is it just a chatroom/IM service?

They did you a favor.
At least it wasn't Urotsukidoji or La Blue Girl
Anyway, this old Princess Tutu GK is probably the best figure of her we'll ever see.
