I picked this figure up a couple of days ago, and am happy with my second Nendoroid purchase, and first male anime figure in my collection. I’m currently waiting on the Sheryl Nome with the bullet, an Asuka Evangelion cold statue, and a few other figures I ordered online just yesterday. I’ll put up pictures when the figures arrive.

This episode of Kobato starts off with the children of the Yomogi Nursery picking potatoes and eating them. While picking potatoes Fujimoto walks up to a kid picking potatoes, and after some minor trouble, Keita informs Kobato that he is trying to find his home, which he remembers from his kindergarten days.

After some searching Kobato and Fujimoto reunite Keita with his grandfather and mother. Despite Kobato getting another konpeito in this episode, I thought that this episode was that stereotypical of this series, and look forward to the next episode of Kobato.

As the previous episode of Steam Detectives introduced Lang Lang near the closing credits of the previous episode, the viewer learns Lang Lang’s favourite flavour of tea, and what Lang Lang has been up to currently. Despite the potential of Ling Ling and Lang Lang getting back together back as close sisters, the episode takes a twist as Lang Lang drugs her own sister, so that Le Bled can make his introduction to Narutaki in this episode. This episode certainly explains a little bit about the closing credits animation with Lang Lang and Ling Ling together, though I guess rightly or wrongly if the ending credits will play some role in the series or not.

Overall, this episode I thought was interesting as I kind of like Le Bled’s character in this episode, as it will be interesting to see what the Le Bled vs. Narutaki feud will end up like in future episodes of this series.

Below are photo’s of my collection of anime poster(s) that I have yet to frame, and when I get myself a house, I’ll most likely frame a few of the B sized posters, and throw them up on my wall(s), alongside some non b sized poster(s). When this actually occurs I will put photo(s) up of course.

This episode of the Daughter of Twenty Faces is entitled Star performer Lily, and has the Twenty Faces gang stealing stuff around America, disguising themselves as circus folk. As Chiko in the previous episode looked good in a long blonde wig, I thought that Chiko kind of looked nice, in the blond pony tails in this episode. As Chiko hasn’t had any real friends her age to play with, I liked how this episode developed Chiko’s relationship with Angie, whose father is in charge of security of the museum. I thought that this episode also developed well the rivalry between Twenty Faces and Tiger.

I thought how this episode ended was very interesting, as it seems that Twenty Faces gang has been set up, and their fall may very well occur in this next episode or near future, which should be interesting to watch, and see what does actually occur.

Before I review this OVA, I would like to mention that I haven’t seen any of the Dragonaut The Resonance TV series, though I have heard that from some anime fans have called this TV series by the name of boobnaut for obvious reasons. Anyway from having no prior experience regarding the background of the characters of this series, well as this is an OVA I for one was disappointed.

As OVA’s generally usually have three months worth of animation time taken to do the animation of an OVA episode, this OVA episode IMO (in my opinion) is that of a standard TV episode. The music in genral was pretty forgettable and average, though to some degree the characters of Dragonaut stayed in character like their TV counterparts.
From a plot point of view this OVA IMO (in my opinion) was pretty forgettable, and didn’t add much.

Overall, I thought that this OVA was rather average, and wasn’t up to the expected quality that usually associated with OVA’s production’s.

OVA Rating: B
