The lighting in all these are terrible, but it's getting dark out and the lighting in the house is bad so... /shrug maybe if I have time this weekend I'll take better photos
I actually need to head off to the gym here soon so I don't have a chance to really go through it, but giving a quick scan and I think I found my favourite story so far.
I mostly got it because I liked the idea of having one side of the "new" bounty and the very first teaser image of the ripped up poster. I still remember pouring over that image with people in a discord group... God, a year ago
See, a year ago, I just saw the trailer but then didn't see anything else about the series, so yeah. XD I just saw the thumbnail for someone reacting to the trailer on youtube and went "Wh-...HUH???????" watched the trailer on its own, squeed at a pitch that would alert every dog in 5 miles, and then...just sat back and waited for the show to drop. lol
We were watching for news for a bit because randomly a Spanish anime blog said a show was going to be announced and we thought it was a hoax then suddenly a website showed up. A Twitter account and then that ripped poster image
Ooooh gotcha. XD Yeah, I was completely caught off guard and took psychic damage that knocked me all the way back to my college years in the span of a 2 min video.
I remember being so excited to find anything Trigun related on that trip. I have an old photo on some hard drive of him buckled up on the bus seat next to me on the trip home
It would have been sometimes between 2006-2009, but I can't remember the exact year. I just know we were still in college because I was wandering around NYC waiting for her to get out of class when I found him
I got my little guy from the local borders. That was basically the only merch we had access to, those little guys, or sometimes some wall scrolls that I was never able to justify buying on my rural early-2000's college student income. lol
Then, when I had a bit better income, I found the local anime shop by the university I switched to, and I was able to get my hands on one of the old action figures and one of the old necklaces of the Punisher. Still looking for the cross, but I was able to find the action figure and he's hanging out on my tv again.
Yup, that's what I told Nu when I bought the pillow. I was like: God, I don't need this, but I'm living out teenage ZZ's dream of living in a time where she had disposable income and lived in a place that had anime merch for sale.
That's why I ordered those figurines the second I was able to. I never had the chance when I was a kid, and always had to get things years later. Now I'm just waiting for the nendoroids to be released.
And who knows, she might have? The local anime shop was selling the Vash figure and even the really complex, fancy Gungrave figure I bought for only about $50. But then that was in like...2007 monies.
Package from Japan: Why hello~ I am here~
Me: TODAY IS AWESOME
Now, I will say I do use a memory foam pillow, but here it is next to a 'normal' pillow.
