sv51macross Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I was thinking of a figure/model pose something like this: Far, far too much win to measure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ReiRei0 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 BTW, I'm looking for a Hasegawa 1/700 Akagi for my Strike Witches build. If you come across one, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Is it going to be flat black with red hexagons and chevrons all over it? (with Warlock wedged in the front?) Man, I can't wait for season two. (whether Gonzo Studios makes it an ero anime or not) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger_Chris61 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Great idea you have going here, I think that it will ultimatly turn out really well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Can someone kindly explain to me the Japanese obsession with, (visually), very young girls showing there 'underneath' parts all over the place? Is it just me or do others feel a little disturbed by this? Remember, a lot of this, model related, stuff can be bought by younger people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Can someone kindly explain to me the Japanese obsession with, (visually), very young girls showing there 'underneath' parts all over the place?Is it just me or do others feel a little disturbed by this? Remember, a lot of this, model related, stuff can be bought by younger people. -It is Japanese culture. In Japan, the emphasis is placed on the whole rather than the individual (opposite of America), and as such the average Japanese male grows-up with a very strong work ethic, and thus companies expect long hours to be put in. Combined with (usually) cramped apartment availability, a very large percentage of Japanese males are unable to successfully court a female to the point of sexual intercourse. This creates a very large market for various...forms of visual and physical stimulation (pron and 'personal massagers). -Certain animes, by far not the majority, attempt to pander to the loneliness of their target audience by incorporating alot of 'fan-service' (upskirts, panty-shots, nude scenes, indirect self-pleasuring, ect). In addition, a subset (and much more mainstream) concept is that of 'Moe' which basically means very lovable/cute characters (and not usually sexually). Add in the Japanese obsession/worship of youth, and you have something like Strike Witches. -On the note of being disturbed, this is actually very mild compared to what some Hentai (animated pron, very different from standard anime) can delve into. (It should be said that those specific sub-fetishes make-up a small percentage of total hentai, most of which is produced under the same regs as normal RL pron) -And finally, these items are not what one would find in a hobby shop stateside. Resin garage-kit figures and other anime figures are uncommon here, one would have to go to a specialty site specializing in anime paraphernalia. You might be better off asking Honza K or ReiRei0 though. Edited September 26, 2009 by sv51macross Quote Link to post Share on other sites
