I just don't get how any H fan can be excited for 1989 re-release bc what's happening now with J*ke will happen with H when 1989 comes out which is all T fans trashing the ex bf that album is about. Also I've seen some state H got off easy with h**lor so it's no big deal what ??? were you around during and after h**lor or ??? bc I was and distinctly remember T being painted as an innocent victim to feel sorry for and H being painted as a shitty ex who left her on a boat after breaking up with her. Along with that h***or being the start to his "womanizer who treats women like shit" image so in no way did H "get off easy" it was the 2nd worst PR stunt relationship for him in terms of how it affected his image.
News - Gkids/Shout Factory has announced their bluray release of Perfect Blue! This new Satoshi Kon release is slated for release March 26. 2019. I’ll post links to preorders once they go up!
Persona 3-5 fans! If you want more Persona 3-5 Figma/Nendoroids made, please preorder the re-releases of Figma Makoto Yuki/Minato Arisato and/or Nendoroid Jack Frost! Good Smile always tests the sales of their pre-existing figures from a series, before they produce more. Personally, I want Figma/Nendoroid of all the P5 Phantom Thieves announced. If these Makoto/Minato and Jack Frost re-releases go well, they just might decide that producing more Persona figures is worth their while! So please, if you can, pre-order and send Good Smile the message that we want more Persona figures! ^o^
Good Smile Company is testing us. They just announced re-releases for Nendoroid Jack Frost and Figma Makoto Yuki (Minato Arisato). And this was days after they announced a Figma school uniform version of Akira Kurusu/Ren Amamiya. Given that GSC tends to test the waters before releasing lots of figures from a specific series, by seeing how pre-existing figures from that series sell, it seems like they’re testing if they should make more Persona figures. We’ve been hounding them on social media to make Figma/Nendoroids of the entire cast of Persona 5 Phantom Thieves. Re-releasing Jack Frost and Yuki/Minato is a test to see if producing more Persona figures is worth their while. If preorders for Jack Frost re-release and Figma Yuki/Minato re-release go well, there’s a good chance we’ll see announcements for more Persona 5 Figma/Nendoroids soon. Maybe even at Wonder Festival 2018 Summer near the end of July. If you also want more Persona 3 / Persona 4 / Persona 5 Figma/Nendoroids announced, you know what to do. ^.~
And they listen. When Good Smile Company released their first few Touken Ranbu figures, even though I was only interested in the Dategumi, I preordered all those non-Dategumi Touken Ranbu Nendoroids, so that GSC would get the message that we were interested in more. And they made SO MUCH MORE Touken Ranbu Nendoroids because their first preorders went well. When GSC pranked us with that Nendoroid Co-de fundoshi set on April Fool’s Day, and we all got upset that they weren’t serious about more male figure accessories, when there was already such a scarcity of male figures, we hounded them into producing that set for real, then we preordered the hell out of them. Now GSC has the Orange Rouge line, an entire division of their company just for making male figures. Same with the grooms in the Nendoroid More wedding sets. That first wedding set initially only advertised female wedding dresses, but after we bugged GSC about grooms, they finally added 2 grooms to accompany the FOUR brides. Then suddenly they made a second Nendoroid More wedding set, where there was a groom FOR EVERY bride. It’s pretty clear that they didn’t have plans for making grooms, but after we pestered them relentlessly on social media, they not only capitulated, but went all-in to cater to our figure requests. ^u^ Because we proved it was worth their while. We proved that we would buy them, by preordering any figures similar to what we were asking for.
I don’t know about you guys, but I want more Persona 5 Figma AND Nendoroid figures. I want THE ENTIRE cast of Phantom Thieves. I only really want Akira, Ryuji, and Morgana, but you better believe I preordered Figma Ann and I’m going to preorder Figma Yusuke and Nendoroid Futaba, until GSC understands how much we all want the entire Persona 5 cast. Because if the pre-existing figures for a series sell well, then GSC will be invested in making more. It’s that simple.
So please, if you can, preorder these Persona figures, so we can get more Persona 5 figures. ^_^ (Hell, if they all sell well enough, I wouldn’t be surprised if GSC finally made some Figma Yosuke, Kanji, and Naoto.)
If you aren't familiar with the re-releases, Negima's manga is being released once again in omnibus, featuring brand new covers with the new UQ Holder art style.
On the final cover is the immortal queen of ice and master of Negi, the Dark Evangel, Evangeline A.K. McDowell.
This volume will be released September 8th!
So, with that, all covers have been revealed. I would have quite enjoyed seeing the entire class in the new art style, but what was released looks great.
Are you happy about Evangeline appearing on the last cover? Which was your favorite?
