My Little Sister Episode 8 Can’t Be This Bad

 

But it is..it is..T__T

Actually, before I watched episode 8 of Ore No Imouto ga Kona Ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, a friend already mentioned that it was the worst episode of the series but me being optimistic, I never thought that this anime could ever have a bad episode but boy was I wrong.

I never read the light novel so I believe that I don’t have any biases because I honestly love the anime.

Everything seemed like nothing, although the whole concept was ok and I really like how it all started Kirino being all excited because her novel was going have its own anime. Being all excited about the theme songs, the voice actors and the art direction, it was really fun to watch because it was something I could relate to.

If I was given that kind of opportunity I would have also acted the way Kirino acted but after that, after Kirino fainted, it was just a train wreck and simply a very negative episode. I don’t want to go into too much detail about that stuff because I don’t want to feel crappy again.

I don’t actually know what the point of this episode was. Was it to give Kuruneko more screen time? Because she was really awesome in this episode and it seems to me that Kuruneko was actually the only one who made sense.

Was it to hate Kirino because she’s perfect and always gets what she wants? If this is the case then they really did one heck of a job with this episode.

Kyousuke was really pathetic and I just don’t understand. I don’t buy the whole please please please I’m begging you please please please let my sister have her way. IMO, it was pathetic and annoying.

I was really upset with Kirino this episode and I actually like her! I mean she was all attitude, spunk and confidence. In this episode, Kirino was like a confused little kid.

The little sister loving Kirino that I got to know for 7 episodes would have kicked the panel’s asses when they mentioned that they would be changing the main character’s gender.

But no, Kirino just stood there helpless which was really sad to watch. :(

All in all Kuruneko was awesome but Kyousuke and Kirino really made me sad this episode. It just didn’t make any sense to me.

Figmas…Nendoroids and PVC Statues

 

So, before anything else, let me just say that this is a rant. I saw something in the net that freakin’ annoyed me and yes it has something to do with the title of my blog post. This just really annoyed me and honestly I’m not trying to be an ass or anything because I know that there are some people who doesn’t know the difference between Figmas, Nendoroids and PVC statues.

Actually, here’s the thing I saw a store online (not going to say the name for the store’s sake) who is selling Figmas, Nendos and PVC statues. I know, nothing wrong with that right? But that’s where you’re wrong!

I don’t think the store knows the difference between those 3 things.

Just to be clear, I’m not a veteran in collecting figures and I actually just started a year ago but come on! Before you sell things you should at least do some research and KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SELLING!!!

I repeat, there are still other people who wants to start collecting figures and will sometimes ask for guidance from some of the stores. So, as idealistic as this may sound, I believe that store owners should be knowledgeable or at least understand the different things that they’re selling.

Let’s put it this way, if a certain someone asks you for a figma and then you hand out  PVC statues instead and that customer, who doesn’t know what a figma even is, starts to call it a figma, it’s just a freakin’ mess waiting to happen.

I also understand that the customer should also have some knowledge about what he/she is buying but come on! Don’t you think this is a bit unfair?

So for future figure store sellers please understand why I’m being an ass about this, I really love collecting and I just don’t want it to become a joke.

For starters, a FIGMA is not short for FIGURE/FIGURES, it is actually produced by MAX FACTORY and distributed by GOOD SMILE COMPANY.

something like this

A NENDO or NENDOROID, is a product of GOOD SMILE COMPANY and is known for their chibiness and petitness.

something like this

…and a PVC Statue I can’t actually have a proper description for this one but a PVC Statue is CERTAINLY NOT A FIGMA.

now this is a PVC Statue

So, please, I’m not saying that you have to be a “master” of some sort to sell figures but you should at least know what you’re selling. You can do a little research, etc if you want it’s easy as clicking and reading.

I just think that it’s unfair for your customers, good if they know their stuff but just sad…really sad if they don’t.

So, why am I so affected by this crap?

Well, long story short, my first nendo and kotobukiya set were bootlegs and I was really disappointed about it. I kept trying to attach Saber Lily’s limbs but it just kept falling off. The color was bad and so is the stand.

If it wasn’t for a friend who pointed this out to me, I wouldn’t have continued collecting, which would have sucked.

I just don’t want other people to have the same bad experience as mine.

BTW, for those who doesn’t know…CLASS A = BOOTLEG.
