Hi! I'm Knorowara! I live in Japan & create videos of all things anime, figures & otaku culture!

How do we still not have any official scale figures of her!?

This stunning Raiden Sh**un (Genshin Impact) statue is a pre-painted garage kit from 's 'gathering' range.

I spent a day in Akihabara in 2015. That was almost 10 years ago. この秋葉原への旅行を思い出すと、切なくて懐かしくなる。I can't help but feel nostalgic looking back at these photos of Heisei era Akiba. Just something about it hits different. Maybe it's the older architecture. Maybe it's the anime billboards of shows that used to be so popular and loved. Maybe it's that I used to be aimless looking for anime figures here back thenm Maybe it's that it just felt more real somehow, more raw. Whether it's then or now though, this part of Tokyo Japan will always be my favorite.

Have you visited Akihabara in the rain at night yet?

Akihabara, aka Akiba, is the anime otaku district of Tokyo Japan. The neon lights and anime billboards always look the best on a rainy night. Most of the anime figure stores are closed at night, but the arcades, games centers, and maid cafes are still open. It's also a great time to try to spot some itasha

What are your most anticipated anime figures of all time?

Mine are these. After 15+ years of waiting, I finally have NANA figures!

These are the 2023 1/8 scale Komatsu Nana (Hachi) and Osaki Nana figures by Hobby Max from the anime/manga NANA by Yazawa Ai.

They both turned out so beautifully detailed, sculpted, and painted. Hobby Max didn't skip out on any of the details for these two. I love how perfect Nana O's stockings and boots turned out, and the Ren/Lotus tattoo is the icing on the cake.

Hachi is definitely the most photogenic of the two. Nana O looks way better irl than in pictures surprisingly. But they both look great on the shelf.

I was surprised at how light they were. I'm not sure how that relates to the quailty of their material. I'm kinda worried I'll end up breaking Nana O's pretty rose base someday. Hachi's sunflowers are made from plastic, which is more forgiving.

They are on the smaller side (1/8 scale), which might surprise some figure collectors. I feel like scale figures have been trending on the larger 1/7+ scale size these days. Something to be aware of when factoring their cost.

I'm so happy to have them in my collection!

YAZAWA AI and NANA fans, DON'T miss out on getting these. They are stunning additions to any collection.

Which Sakura Hatsune Miku do you prefer?

These are the 2021 and 2023 Piapro Characters Sakura Hatsune Miku Noodle Stopper figures by FuRyu. Along with the 2023 Artist MasterPiece Lantern Sakura Miku by Taito. All three are prize figures.

I was really anticipating the center Miku but after finally getting her, I'm a little disappointed. She's really nice quality but so small and has terrible lean. She just doesn't sit right (awful as a Noodle Stopper 🤣). She looks so hunched over! What happened to her posture from the side!? I definitely prefer the 2021 version.

As for the lantern Miku, she lights up! A first for a prize figure. She's also great quailty and really nicely sculpted for a prize figure. Though I found out she has a pearlescent version and I regret not getting that version now.

Disappointment aside, it's really hard for me to resist pretty pink of Sakura Miku.

Which Hatsune Miku cosplay version is cuter?

I love the figma version!

These are the 2009 MikkuMiku Nendoroid and Figma of Hiiragi Kagami from Lucky☆Star OVA by Good Smile Company/Max Factory. And the 2009 SEGA prize EX figure.

I'm so happy to finally have all three. They are all so adorable!

Definitely worth getting for any Lucky Star or Hatsune Miku figure collectors!

Figure lines you want to make a comeback?

For me, Nendo petites! I'm really happy GSC is going to be kinda reviving the line with its Haikyuu Blind Box Nendoroid Suprise collection.

This is the 2008 Konata Izumi Nendoroid Petit by Good Smile Company from the anime Lucky☆Star.

She's super small, cute and adorable. Whenever I see her at a thrift store, I buy her.

Manga you'd love to see animated?

If they make an anime of Yotsuba& that's on the level of Azumanga Daioh, I'd be so happy!

These figures are by Kaiyodo, most had their initial release in 2007/2008 with a bunch of rereleases. The large soft vinyl Yotsuba was released in 2012.

I love all of these. They are all super cute, well sculpted and painted, and true to their character designs.

Any Yotsubato anime figure collectors need these for sure!

Anime characters you relate to for all the wrong reasons?

These are the 2013/2012 1/7 scale anime figures of Kashiwazaki Sena and Mikazuki Yozora from the anime Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (Haganai) by Good Smile Company.

These two are both beautifully sculpted and painted. They really look just like their anime counterparts. Their expressions are perfect, and I love the movement of their hair and clothes.

The only thing I don't like is how they don't pose so well together on display. I would have loved to see them having bases that joined together.

They are a must for anime Haganai fan/anime figure collector!

Do you like sets of figures, or do you prefer individual figures?

I love sets personally!

These are the 2010 1/8 scale Emotion Style figures of Araragi Koyomi, Hanekawa Tsubasa, and Senjougahara Hitagi by Bandai from the anime Bakemonogatari.

I LOVE Hanekawa and Araragi's figures and faces in this set (they look just like their anime counterparts), but Senjougahara's face/expression looks so bad. It's a shame. I think someone with decent paint skills could clean her face up a little.

Are they the best Monogatari Series anime figures of all time? Not at all, but they are a great edition to any Monogatari fan's figure collection.

What sweet inspired Miku would you like to see?

This is the 2023 Exc∞d Creative Sweet Sweets Macaron Piapro Characters Hatsune Miku UFO catcher prize figure by FuRyu.

Another absolutely adorable and cute Sweet Sweets Miku Hatsune figure! I loved the Matcha version so much that when I saw the Macaron version, I just had to get her.

She's really nice quality, just like the Matcha version. Though mine has few paint defects and a small sculpting issue. That's nothing to be surprised about with prize figures, but I felt she was slightly lower quality. Just slightly, though.

She's super cute and beautifully designed. I can imagine she'd look so cute with a kawaii aesthetic setup.

What's a figure you've wanted for a long time but just haven't bought yet?

This is the 2009 1/8 scale figure of Suzumiya Haruhi - Bunny Music White Ver. by Daiki Kougyou from the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

I've owned the black bunny girl version (which I prefer) for a long time, but I finally found her white version recently for a great price.

I LOVE this Haruhi figure. Her expression is perfect, and her sculpting and paintwork are great for an older figure.

Her pose is so dynamic and fun, very fitting of her character. Her base is lightweight with a musical note that she sits on.

This Haruhi really is a center piece type figure. She looks like she popped out straight from her anime. On myfigurecollection, it says she's only owned by 54 collectors, which is just criminal because of how great she is!
