On the plus side this means there's like no way they're finishing the story in 12 episodes.

Remember, recap episodes mean the team is taking a break for a week to polish their product. In an action-heavy show with slightly ropy visuals, I’m up for that.

Is it at least a recap of everything that happened in FMP up until now, or just four episodes?

It’s probably for the best so they can keep the quality up, but it’s disappointing because I really wanted to see where the story goes next. Just have to wait one more week I guess.

Probably a good idea if you're trying to keep on the dl. Ever since reading the book I was under the impression it was in the Philippines, and the locals definitely look Pinoy as hell. I'll be disappointed if I don't see at least one jeepney while they're here

I ended up buying the Metal Build copy of the Arbalest coz it had this sweet docking platform and tons of accessories. But I guess I need to get 3 or so copies of the Savage so I can stage some badass scenes. I suppose a few M9s wouldn't hurt either if I want an SRT team too!

Sorry if this is too far off topic. But yea, the Metal Build is pretty awesome. I never knew about the Metal Build series/line until seeing the Arbalest show up for preorder. I'm used to buying figmas and such, so this is quite a jump in quality/design. It has some good heft, like, if you're gonna spend some dough on a quality The paint is pretty awesome, I had to break out some magnifiers to read all the warning labels and decals on it. I freaking love tiny details like that. Manual mentioned something about being careful around the jaw and rear chest area of the chassis. Those areas might experience some paint wear if you arent careful? I figure you should just be super careful before you mount the dagger to the jaw or rifle on the back. I didn't get a chance to set up the diorama, but it does have a few racks to store weapons and the extra hand and modules. I thought that was a clever way to store all the extra parts and still be a part of the diorama. I mean, how do you explain all the extra hands you get in a figma? I'm a goon, not a creepy hand collector! Let me know if there's anything else you want me to check if you are still on the fence about it. I haven't really collected mecha over the years, but Full Metal Panic is pretty much the only reason I'd get mech stuff. An instant buy for me. I'm seeing some copies on stock at random places. We can be ARX-7 bros!

I can definitely vouch for the Arbalest Metal Build figure being amazing and I'm looking forward to the Metal Build Laevatein reprint/improvement coming next month. They teased an M9 also, here's hoping they come through with that.

Crunchyroll is still in pre-order mode, so that's worth a try. I don't know when they close pre-orders, never bought from them before. https://www.crunchyroll.com/store/p/200589/Arbalest-VerIV-Metal-Build-Action-Figure-Full-Metal-Panic-IV And BBT shows in-stock. $4 shipping for a total of 229. I heard good things but I'm too invested in amiami for other kits/models I buy from them. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/63583 Zebulon posted:I can definitely vouch for the Arbalest Metal Build figure being amazing and I'm looking forward to the Metal Build Laevatein reprint/improvement coming next month.

I prefer HLJ personally but amiami ain't bad either. Personal Warehouse lets you do monthly shipments (up to 60 days really) on your terms too, while usually having better shipping rates and customer service. BBTS is legit, they just take longer to get stock in and tend to love jacking prices on anything exclusive or in high demand well beyond the cost of just getting it directly rather than relying on the delay on them importing their own stock to sell. Not experienced with Crunchyroll as a store directly but I doubt they're going to gently caress up or anything. So there's three viable options for getting one at least. As for the M9, they teased the idea of it being in the design stages at least once on social media when they were hyping up the Arby and Lev IV version MBs. Wouldn't surprise me if they end up making one given they can easily double dip on Mao and Kurtz variants, then go balls in on stuff like desert colors and all that. Plus they can do the ECS panels gimmick like the Arbalest at a bare minimum. Maybe do a weapons option set for the Arby and M9s too like they've done in the past for the Robot Damashii releases. I really can't iterate how wonderful the Metal Build stuff is. Heavy, roughly 7 inches tall (they aim for that height, rather than trying to maintain a specific, concise scale between the various things in the line), lots of detail an accessories and gimmicks and all that fun. It's surprisingly posable given how that tends to suffer on these sorts of heavy figures. The stand doesn't really let you do aerial stuff despite how often the Arby spends airborne jumping around, but it gives you amazing control over how you have it posed. Running poses, slides, combat rolls, standing still, etc are all practical with a bit of time spent understanding how to balance it and work the stand.

the episode aired in Japan so the production issues are either all on crunchyroll or they were down to the wire on finishing it for broadcast and got it to crunchyroll late.

Him wondering if that was weird was cute too. I also loved that he had a gun taped to the underside of Lemon's bed and still sleeps there. And all the AS parts being packaged and sold in markets like the impulse buy items at the rack by a checkout anywhere else in the world.

This is the first episode that concerned me about the animation quality. The faces especially in several scenes seemed very lazy to the point that it didn't look like Sousuke. Someone tell me it's not my imagination.

Someone tell me it's not my imagination. Yeah, the animation in this episode was sketchy and reminded me of the worst episode of the first season (the one with Shinji's dad). I've heard that this is just a consequence of how the industry runs these days, so while it's disappointing I think I can learn to live with it. I'm just worried about it being due to "production issues" and the chance that it ends up getting worse as the season goes on.
