This show… is so… GOOOOOOOD!!!! I really think there was no predicting just how emotional and investing this was going to turn out to be.

Figure skating is a beautiful sport to observe (I did ballet as a kid and love seeing ballet show up in this anime, too!), and there is a diverse cast in this show that we get to see performing a variety of routines!! And the friendships and blossoming love between the characters are so, so precious~

Good, GOOD stuff all around! Hope you enjoy it! nn

Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine (sometimes also spelled ‘Haine’) has been one of my FAAAAAVORITE anime in recent seasons!! It is SOOOO heartwarmingly sweet and makes you feel sooooooo good, of the warm-and-squishy comfort variety.

And the setting!! WOW!! It takes place in a fantasy version of an Austrian royal palace, and the anime isn’t shy about showing off beautiful royal halls and architecture – and the beautiful princes that live within them. Seriously, this show is SO beautiful! (And, LOL, don’t giggle at their hometown being named ‘Weiner’ – its name is based on ‘Vienna,’ LOL).

Also catch the live-action ending dance at the end of episode 7! Those are the stage actors for the live stage version of the show – they are the same actors who play the voices of the characters in the anime!

Kenka Banchou Otome has some pretty intensive backstory – so, there’s this action fighting game called Kenka Banchou, right? Well, that game got a dating sim spinoff called Kenka Banchou Otome, with a completely different art style and demographic. This anime adaptation is based on that!

The episodes are nice and short, easy to catch on little breaks you might have during the day, or easy to marathon a few in one sitting if you are all cozied up and enjoying an anime-watching day~

Despite all the martial arts going on, this isn’t terribly violent. It’s definitely more about the cute interactions between the boys and the cute heroine (who has adorable pink hair AND pink eyes!!! I’m just excited seeing those together..). I love the cute pink twin bro character that she switches with in order to get the plot initiated, he’s such a whiny goofball, which is so perfect for Tsubasa Yonaga’s voice lol.

Y’all I’m sorry there were just so many good’uns listed under “new releases,” there wasn’t any way I couldn’t post about them again.

–

Touken Ranbu -Online- Izuminokami Kanesada 1/8 Scale Figure

WOOOOWWW look at how handsome he is!!!
I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before but little braids
to one side of a character’s face are like, one of my big
character design weaknesses.

Play Arts Kai Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children – Sephiroth

HOLY SMOKES!!
You guys have GOT to click through on this one
and look at some of the other pose photos.
These are so freaking cool they don’t look like photos of a figure at all.

–

Yuri!!! on Ice Victor Nikiforov 1/8 Scale Figure

This Victor is really cute!!
We have gotten a lot of Victor figures in different poses,
I think this dynamic one is cool, especially with the really cool icy base!

–

ArtFX J Yuri!!! on Ice Victor Nikiforov

DOUBLE-VICTOR COMBO!!!!
This one is SO beautiful!!
This one shows Victor in a sitting position at the rinkside kiss-and-cry,
and comes with a tiny Makkachin tissue box~
The cool thing about the sitting pose is that you can sit him on anything!
Like the edge of your computer, a shelf near your desk, etc.
