8 years ago I had a ridiculous cosplay group idea…then our picture got shared by the official Gundam Thunderbolt account and Ohtagaki himself.
8 years later, Anime NYC 2017 remains in my memory as one of the best anime convention weekends I’ve ever experienced in my 26 years of going to them.

I often remark how I love seeing how much anime/Japanese pop culture has gained a wider audience over the years, but I can honestly say I was not expecting to suddenly hear the Mashle OP “Bling Bang Bang Born” play while out to dinner at an Indian restaurant in suburban Massachusetts tonight.

Anime NJ++ is off to an auspicious start for me. This was Keita Amemiya's autograph: an entirely freehand ink pen drawing of Zeiram! It was incredibly impressive watching him just whip this up inside of two minutes.

Good pausing point on the HG Weißritter as I let the first coat of red on the back of the leg boosters dry. Already feeling a lot happier on this build.

Tidied up the workspace before starting my next build. Sort of feels like cleaning house to expel a bad spirit after where I finished on last night. Fingers crossed for the next build, which is something I’ve been looking forward to since they started a line of HG Super Robot Wars kits.

It’s technically done and built, but I don’t care anymore. Right now, I kinda hate this kit

Interesting that it’s the Flyers, not the Capitals since it’s been a very long time since the con was in PA and Capital One Arena is right near the Washington Convention Center, but still neat to see! If I lived a little closer, I’d try to go.

"I do the bro splits: chest, back, legs, arms, shoulders, and I spread that over about two weeks nowadays. It used to be six days a week, but now I space two to three days per week as appropriate with the schedule."

Can verify, this is a really fun panel presented excellently. I definitely recommend catching it.
We're doing Giant Robots at Work at 3PM Sunday at Anime NJ, and it's fully because we couldn't actually make it on a Friday morning because of work
Check us out to fight the Sunday scaries I guess

RG Perfectability shields are done. Only worked on those tails tonight since they took a bit more time than expected, but with everything completed the details on these look really cool.

Had a little bit of time to get some building in before RICC stuff consumes the rest of this week. Almost got the shields completed, but I think stopping before having to trim, sand, and panel line 16 of the same piece for the tails is a good choice.

You know, for over 20 years, I’ve been watching this movie around Halloween, a holiday that includes the donning of unusual outfits, and yet it was only today that I connected the coincidence of that and the final line. 😅

Won’t get through all of it on my lunch break, but gotta start the traditional Halloween seasonal viewing.

From time to time I poke around and see what interesting things I might want to add to my Dunbine collection. I already have one prior English magazine ad for the DVD, but I saw these being sold on eBay. Interesting that there’s two variants of essentially the same thing.

Heads up to those of you going to see Chainsaw Man Reze Arc, there’s a post credits scene.

Starting to see the finish line with the RG Perfectability and I love the look of the Hyper Beam Javelin.
I also did some experimenting with the Mecha Empire neon blue panel liner I recently got by testing it on an action base.
