My Top 10: Anime You Musn't Miss Out On

I just happened to see the latest post from Sankaku Complex about Top 10 Anime You Musn't Miss Out On and I felt compelled to check it out. I shouldn't bother though because what I saw pissed the hell out of me. Sure, it was written in plain sight that the list is not for Type A anime fan but still... I feel like I was challenged. Here is the list:

1. K-ON
2. Angel Beats!
3. Bakemonogatari
4. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
5. Gintama
6. Toradora!
7. To Aru Majutsu no Index
8. Haruhi
9. Durarara!!
10. Evangelion

You know there is something wrong with the list when K-ON topped it, unless it's for the most useless anime ever produced. This list is misleading especially for the n00bs who are just venturing into anime and looking for some really good stuff. Though it does includes some of the anime that even I will recommend, most of it are just average anime at best.

But then again we can see the trending in Japan and this kind of answered my question as to why they produced so much garbage lately.

Obviously the list can be subjective, depends on the person who makes it but I think my list would be light years better than this crap they pulled up. I will not rank them by numbers though because it is impossible to rank these 10 anime that I have chosen. They are all oustanding.

Haruhi Suzumiya

Baccano

Genshiken

Code Geass

I would have included Madoka, unfortunately though I haven't seen it yet. I am also tempted to include Ao no Exorcist and Ano Hana but that would be unwise and too biased even for me. All in due time because this list is bound to change as more anime are being produced every season. One of them will eventually blow our socks off.

So there.

Nendoroid Puchi: Death Note - Case File #02

These puchi came shortly after the vocaloid. Unlike with the vocaloid, I really do like these nendo petite probably because I am more familiar with them than those synthesizer wannabe. Who wouldn't know them, right?

Just so you know, these puchi do not come ready assembled. You have to assemble those tiny body parts yourself, just like I did with the vocaloid. And it was not an easy thing to do because they are tiny and I have a bad experience with broken figure part. Luckily I have small hands.

The reason why I want these puchi is because L is one of my favorite anime characters. I missed the chance to get the nendo so I make do with the puchi instead.

There are two L in the box. One holding a tennis racket and the other is talking to the phone. Both come with the cutest expression ever.


Also, look at the hair. I love the details on it. The same goes for Kira's puchi. The hair in my opinion was the cutest part for all the three Kira. One of the Kira is wearing a suit with a police badge in his hand, the other is Kira stripping for me and the third one is Kira in a sports gear ready to play tennis. If he thinks L want to play tennis with him, think again Kira.


Alright that is five of the puchi. There are seven left with one of them as the mystery character. Next up is Near. Besides L, my second favorite character from the series is Near. Probably because he resembles L a lot. I also have a thing for white-haired character. Just like his predecessor, Near too have a perfect hair for a figure. There are two Near in this puchi box. One with him awkwardly sitting with his toys, and the other is of him standing with a robot toy in his arm.


Then there is Mello who comes with two different expression and accessories. One is of him eating a bar of chocolate, which I found quite funny and would snickers every time I look at his face and the other of him holding a pistol/revolver.


I don't like Mello that much. His outfit is a big turn off for me. It made him looks like a cheap gigolo or something similar to that. But his eyes are pretty though.

The other figure in the box is Teru Mikami. His design must be the most boring design out of all the puchi. A black suit with a black file case and a black megane. The hair too made him looks like a girl wearing a suit. I guess I have to blame it on his job.


The mystery figure for this box is none other than Misa Amane, Kira's whore. She is wearing a white nurse outfit. I can't say much about her because I really don't like her.


Aight, that's it. I feel so relieved that I get this review finally done and over with. They arrived back in late February and it took me this long to do a review on them because I keep procrastinating with shits.

This only left me with three more set figure to review.

Life is great *lies*
