Rei looks *better* with long hair....
I said with a posed look.

Absolutely not

mmmhhh I dunno. I rather love her with short hair.

She does look better, though. with glasses:

Absolutely Yes.

Yup, certainly the glasses.

Also yes.

Coolest anime related merchandise ever.

I was always wondering if Gainax had screwed up the size of an EVA (remember EVA-02 in Ep. 8, where at one point it towers above the aircraft carriers, and then seems to have shrunk when it returns and collapses on the deck?) one last time when EVA-02 lifted that battleship.

Currently in Akihabara:

And yes, those are real TE37s.

A real scale Patlabor? A Honda Today with Rays rims? Yup, just a normal day in good ol'Akiba. And yes, I know Patlabor; I own a DVD featuring the last episodes of the Griffith arc and some one-off episodes as well. An odd place to start your Patlabor history, but hey, it's still good fun.

Just finished Ping Pong The Animation. Man was I pleasantly surprised! Good animation, cool story, good table tennis scenes. I enjoyed it nicely

The soundtrack though....




I feel like playing some Table Tennis now.... With my own custom racket

Kensuke Ushio did an awesome job with Ping Pong's OST. I love to listen to it when i'm studying.

He certainly did an awesome job. This OST will end up in a playlist on my phone. He definitely set the tone nicely for the show.

when i'm studying.

Which reminds me, lemme stop this faffing about break and get back to work

@AOS- is going to shun me for posting this, but, I can't resist sharing the OP and ED for Rakuen. Really weirdly cheerful considering how gritty the anime can get, but it's not new for Grisaia to be a tad off the wall.

MiG-25 is best girl. Too bad she doesn't have glasses...

So now we're dealing with jet girls? Huh. Now I'm curious to see an F-14 Tomcat, or even a Blackbird...

 

[TayeezSA]

ME!ME!ME! Reconstruction by VJs. Nicely edited I'd say, I liked the Trap section.

Careful though, plenty of flashing along with stuff you'd come to expect from the original ME!ME!ME!

I thought the SR-71 and the B-52 would be... you know, OLDER. But, since it's in high school, logic is thrown out. And A-10 is a female Jaws, isn't she? (the Bond villain, not the shark)

Usually their heights change. An-225 is pretty tall and hangs around the loli that is Buran. A-10-chan carries a chainsaw.

Airplane people, tank people, Gundam people... Japan really loves to mechanize people in many different ways, eh? Can't dislike that trend, because they also switch things up from time to time, which is good.

Don't forget assault rifles!

Well, remind me not to piss that guy (guy? girl? who knows) off...

Oh for the love of... Where does that come from?

Upotte! Don't watch if you are sensitive to fanservice. There's a lot.

So it's basically like Full Metal Panic!, except that all the girls behave like Sosuke Sagara, and there's a lot of fanservice. Go figure, eh? That is one quirky (and probably dangerous) classroom...

I haven't seen FMP, so I couldn't say. Because the girls are "personified" as guns, if they get shot, they don't actually get hurt. They can jam however.

A girl who can jam like a gun...

God dang it Japan, the things you can come up with... I bet we have many different gun girls represented, right? People like Desert Eagles and such.

I don't think they have pistols, but the different types of guns are separated into different years of school based on what kind of round they use. Guns that fire pistol rounds (SMG's) are in elementary school, guns that fire intermediate rounds (assault rifles) are in middle school, and guns that fire full sized rifle rounds (battle rifles) are in high school.

That does make sense, actually. The bigger the gun, the more experienced it is. That is surprisingly detailed.

 

[Heldenzeit]

It's surprisingly well thought out. The AUG based character's appearance changes depending on the barrel length, just like the actual rifle.

All AK based characters have pointy ears shaped like the forward sight of an actual AK. This is Galil (Israel).

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I'm not sure if I should applaud or cringe at that attention to detail... I mean damm, that is paying attention to even the smallest of gun details!

Flight Highschool is even more detailed. F-15E has longer hair than F-15C, because the real F-15E has built in extended fuel tanks.

Man, I wouldn't notice that, that is a real way to tell if you're plane nut or not, haha. But seriously, great attention to detail is being shown there.
