Mini figures?? :swoon: I need these!

But its a blind box? Dammit. I tried two boxes from two different series already and both had what I wanted the least. So if I get one i'll end up with Spoilt Child Umaru or Kirie.

But I could get an Ebina, a Sylphy, or a good Umaru. Five out of seven is good odds right?

Right? :ohdear:

(Secret figure doesn't count, I'm never that lucky.)

Kirino really poisoned that well all to hell huh

Kirino wasn't even that bad until she decided she needed to bone her brother/her brother realized he wanted to bone her for real.

Umaru isn't a great follow-up though.

I'm very tempted to get a box of boxes. I'm also wondering if I could convince a local store to get it because they unboxed and sold the last blind box set they had(One Piece). However they seem to be staying away of animes and are more focused on candy.

Will there be an episode where Umaru has to wrangle the triple-date, and appear repeatedly as Miss Doma, UMR, and Komaru? Anime tradition requires this.

Best tier: Ebina, Sylphy, Cola Umaru
Okay tier: Sleepy Umaru*, Upset Umaru*, Kirie
No tier: Spoiled Umaru

(okay tier because of the blog's examples)

Despite Umaru being a brat for the first part of that episode, I'm liking this show a little more each week. It would be nice if Umaru would be more honest around her friends though

Taihei always seems kind of depressed, especially in this episode, so I hope he can somehow get out of his tedious job or meet someone nice outside of his sister's friends or something

How is he supposed to be an audience stand-in if he's not depressed?

She looks like Umaru for some reason. That gets me a little but other than that I like how she's classy. That's gotta suck how she's his boss, must be a lot of conflicting emotions and concerns there.

I like how the brother's side of things slowly gets more complex as Umaru's.

Yeah, I hope they do give him something more to do outside of looking after Umaru, even if the show doesn't spend a lot of time with him it'd make it feel less insular. Also, holy crap Umaru's dumb loving giggle that she does when she dives under the kotatsu makes me :kimchi:

they did the episode where they split the room in half so I wouldn't put it past them to put in more western sitcom cliches

She growls as she storms the stadium
A villain mean and rough
And the cops all shake and quiver and quake
as she stabs them with her cuffs
you know what Umaru-chan kind of reminds me of? A more intelligent but not as endearing Potemayo.

This was a great episode, just watched it while eating breakfast. I always liked Kanou in the manga so I'm glad that they did that mini-chapter justice and even added an original endearing bit where she goes back to her apartment and gets that picture message. :3:

Who is feeling lucky?

http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/top/gsctrfwd00001.html

I've never purchased from an overseas site directly before. A friend of mine actually bought something from here recently but its so recent he hasn't seen the red tape yet. All I know is to use a credit card that doesn't charge for international transactions. I might have that with a card I used in Germany but that was a while ago and need to double check.

e: 6800 yen(product and shipping) converts to around 56bux for 8 boxes. These boxes can easily go for 96 to 130bux for 8 boxes at conventions.

Also the site says even though there are 8 boxes and 8 different figures, you may not get 8 different figures. :negative:
