Anime cars are a crime against everything good in the world.

The best gt 300 class car in Japan's premier gt racing series is owned by a figure making company with Hatsune Miku plastered all over it, and they raise funds by selling figures of that yearly racing Miku.

Vanir rules, I'm definitely reading his book after I finish the main series.

Has anyone read the official release? I would love to read KonoSuba someday, but I do not want to read those fanlations unless I absolutely have to.

The official yenpress translations are very good, and a lot better than the fan translations, but they've only released up to volume 3 (so halfway through anime season 2).

Well that's 11, I'm caught up besides Explosions, Mask, and some sidestories.

We still stood by the door after Komekko had left; unbelievably, someone knocked on it.

Thinking that Komekko might have left something behind, we opened the door to find a young girl with blue eyes and blonde hair.

By her appearance, she should be slightly younger than Komekko…right?

Her face feels somewhat familiar.

She cautiously looked up at us, then spotted Darkness beside me.


“Mommy——!”

She then excitedly yelled such a thing before tightly embracing Darkness—

I get the feeling people aren't reading the light novels here because of not wanting to read the fan translations, but Konosuba is still really drat funny, even with the crazy Japanese-->Chinese-->English filter the first few were subjected to.

I mean in the case of Konosuba the novel translation pretty much has the exact same cadence as the subtitles for the show script, so it works just fine for me.

Maybe her arms mutating into wings of some kind are why she's crying.

Maybe KonoSuba is body horror now.

They're priced the same as a premium figure from a good company but their quality control is bad and the paint apps are shoddy. Some people also think the sculpts are too simple compared to figures at similar price points.

Basically the price doesn't match the quality.

Did some glancing around at what's available from the well-regarded companies for similar prices, and yeah, those are definitely overpriced (well, moreso than figures already are).

With that said, if you really want a Konosuba figure I'm not really seeing much else at the moment - at least that most people would be willing to publicly display. Here's another figure for Megumin from a couple months back that was also advertised on Crunchyroll to show what I mean: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/03/16-1/megumin-gets-some-big-love-with-konosuba-14-scale-bunny-ver-figure. More expensive, but double the scale - 1/4 vs. 1/8 - and significantly more detailed, along with a dynamic pose but, well...

Yeah, they're not good figures but the companies don't go out of business because they're the only who make figures of a popular franchise. Goodsmile makes nendos and more uh, lewd, figures of the characters but if you want normal figures of the cast you have to deal with poor quality. Same thing happened to touhou.

Just get the nendos imo

The blushing while putting a ring on Megumin's finger one was pretty cute. No idea about the context but presumably it was just a magic ring? :v:
