Merchandise Preferences


This is just a fun post.

Aside from getting merch I will need to get the use of - pouches from makeup to tote bags, compact mirrors, kitchen stuff, etc - there are things I would make exceptions for: As a general rule, I will only get things I really like like say Haikyuu Nendoroids.
  • plushies - preferably big ones like my Mochitalia and Korosensei
  • Nendoroid - I preferred these over Funko pops despite its expense. I'll collect some Funko pops if I really like them. 
  • Genga art - to decorate the office 
  • office stuff - for decorative purposes 
  • cute stuff - exempting Funko pops, I want cute stuff
  • gachapon 
  • DVDs/CDs - both dub and sub. If there is a really bad dub job or a really bad anime in general, I won't get them obviously. 
  • Video games - obviously
  • manga
Again, only the ones I really want. Probably I would clean the shelves every week.

As much as I enjoy super/real robot shows, I don't think I can keep a Gunpla. I can keep Funko/Nendoroid/plushies in condition but Gunpla is a whole other duty. I might have a kit just sitting on a shelf but I won't open it as much as I would love to. Simply, because the stress of building the dang thing is too much for me. I'll leave up in the display for all to see though.

For now, I got my part of the bedroom space and a desk space. I just have to make do without causing damage to any of the merch.


...I want this guy to be in the same level of notoriety as Tommy Wiseau and John Nguyen and Ed Wood and Uwe Boll and so many others who have sincere intentions to create movies.

I would be so happy if or when Neil Breen achieved that.

On a progressive level, he is awful. You can tell in this sociopolitical climate after all. It's not as subtle in its regressiveness like VLD is. It's pretty blatant with its sociopolitical messages. Even if it wasn't intentional - seriously, this guy writes the same story three times that I know of - you can tell it's regressive.

I like bad movies...enjoyably bad movies. Like Zack Synder and Michael Bay are good directors on technical terms but storytelling-wise, they're the worst. These two can produce action and technically beautiful scenes at their best but when it comes to storytelling, they are not the worst at it but pretty bad nonetheless.

However, they aren't on the same level as the previously bad directors who had no clue what they are doing but are nonetheless sincere about their filmmaking.

And sincerity - including a love for cheesiness and just loving in spite/because of flaws - is sorely lacking in a cynical world that we live in.

Despite Neil's obvious lack of knowledge of things progressive, people can actually enjoy his films purely out of badness value. The acting is just hilarious, particularly Breen's.
