I wonder if I'm going to regret not getting a yuurio one? Only if they make otabek, i guess.

Although nendo figs are adorable they're pretty expensive for their size :sigh:

So true. I actually opened my box up in front of my coworkers since I get that poo poo shipped to my office & they knew I was waiting for it and one of them looked at it and said "wait, it's so small? You paid that much for this?"

:cry:


I guess I should switch to, like, buying berserk figures which are just staggeringly expensive but at least they look a little more substantial! The rest of the collection in my glass case is mainly JoJo figures and I avoided the nendo ripoffs in that fandom.

You're not alone at least since the promo photos can be deceptive as so I discovered when I walked around Book-Off and Kinokuniya and looked at them in-person :ghost:

Charge just went through on my Viktor nendo so my boy's comin'

Also if you're active on twitter I can't imagine you haven't seen but AnimeFest this year has been way bigger than usual and the YOI crowds have been... pretty serious. I have friends who have been trying over and over to get autographs and the lines are just too daunting. I dunno how AnimeFest could have really braced for the crowds necessarily but it does look like they seriously underestimated in some ways (booking smaller rooms for YOI panels and all that). I feel bad for the organizers and workers; it's gotta be overwhelming and a kinda thankless job right now.

My Viktor GEM figure finally came in the other day and while it's not my favorite GEM that I have, it looks better than I thought it would.

To be fair, I wasn’t expecting more than one selection (one Yuri, one Victor, etc), so I had no clue they’d do a second wave.

Refurbished cats may have scratches, dents or other forms of cosmetic damage which do not affect the performance of the unit.
That's amazing. One of the girls in the JGPF had a Makkachin tissue box too.

Evgenia Medvedeva was supposed to have some "surprise gala" at the NHK Trophy but then she went and got injured so it hasn't happened. Some people were suspecting it is a Yuri on Ice thing, I am hoping for Theme of King JJ.

The show had lots of heart, even if as a show it had a great many flaws. Great to see it's impact has lasted and I'm looking forward to a date for season 2!

My box set arrived yesterday. I'll probably watch the dub first, since my friend who can't do subtitles is pretty much the only person who hasn't seen it yet.

I’ve heard about a minute of the dub, and couldn’t stand it.

Viktor sounds really funny to me in the dub, but it's not all bad. I prefer subtitles but if I have a show on while I work, it needs to be dubbed.

I like the accents in the dub. No idea if they did something similar in Japanese.

The only dub I've enjoyed was OPM, and that was truly fantastic.
I think my friend has dyslexia; he's said that if he has to read subtitles, he can't do anything else.
