  1. The Insight 1/4 Scale Ura Koi Bunny Girl Merukyuru stands out from typical bunny figures and many adult anime figures thanks to its reclining pose and original design. Unlike most 1/4 scale releases with standing poses and standard bases, this one feels more relaxed and visually different on display. From multiple viewing angles, it works best when placed slightly above eye level. The low pose shifts focus toward the sculpt, expression, and overall silhouette rather than accessories or base details. Quick First Look At first glance, Merukyuru may seem smaller than a normal 1/4 scale figure, but that’s mainly due to the reclining pose. On a shelf, it still takes up a lot of horizontal space. Make sure your display area is wide enough, especially if you use the included cushion. It won’t fit well in tight cabinets. The cushion adds a nice touch, making the pose feel more natural and complete. Sculpt & Proportions The sculpt is the highlight here. The pose feels relaxed but still well-structured, with smooth transitions across the body. Unlike some anime scale figures and nsfw figures that only look good from one angle, this one holds up fairly well from the side too. The front view is still best, but it’s not limited to a single display angle. The proportions are clearly stylized, matching Insight’s usual approach. It works well for collectors who like bold designs, but may not suit those who prefer realism. Face, Hair & Outfit The face is calm with a slight teasing expression. It’s simple but fits the overall mood of the figure. Hair sculpt has good volume with clear strand separation, though some finer details are less sharp compared to higher-end PVC figures. The glossy bunny outfit contrasts nicely with the skin tone, making the figure stand out more under controlled lighting. Soft lighting works best, as strong LEDs can create harsh reflections on the outfit. What to Keep in Mind Like many Insight studio figure, this one needs careful handling due to delicate parts. Avoid gripping the hair or thin edges when moving it. It’s also quite minimal in presentation. There are no extra parts or complex base options, so the focus is purely on the sculpt. Final Thoughts Merukyuru is a solid alternative to standard standing bunny figures and other adult anime figures. The reclining pose and cushion give it a unique display style without overcomplicating the design. It’s not for everyone, especially if space is limited or you prefer licensed characters. But for fans of original designs and mature bunny aesthetics, it’s an interesting piece. The sculpt is the main appeal, and with the right angle, it can easily become a standout figure in a collection.
  2. I’ve bought One Piece figures from both Japan Figure and Big Bad Toy Store, and both have been reliable for me. BBTS is usually easier if you’re in the U.S. since shipping is simpler, while Japan Figure can be better for Japanese releases or older figures that are harder to find locally. I’d avoid choosing only by character, though. Try checking what line he already collects—Banpresto and Ichibansho are good for affordable gifts, while Portrait of Pirates is more premium. Also be careful with eBay listings that seem unusually cheap, because One Piece figures have a lot of bootlegs.
  3. The English dub really deserves more credit for that. Using the game’s slang naturally makes the conversations feel like they actually belong in Night City, rather than sounding like a standard anime dub with Cyberpunk visuals layered on top. I’m also glad the new series is apparently going with a standalone cast. David and Lucy’s story ended strongly enough that bringing them back would risk weakening it. A different crew could explore another side of Night City while still keeping the same themes of ambition, identity and how quickly the city consumes people. The original series has also held up surprisingly well through its collectibles. I was looking through some Cyberpunk: Edgerunners merchandise, and it reminded me how recognizable even the supporting character designs are. I’d especially like to see the new series introduce someone with the same immediate visual impact as Rebecca.
  4. some of you recommeded sushi and ramen, and for a Japanese deeply in love with Japanese food and culture, I can't agree anymore. But I also recommend you to try Japanese omurice, with the cut-open fried egg on top of rice, often used with Japanese curry sauce. Its my comfort food ever since I was a kid.
  5. It's all sunny and warm, but it's gonna be scorching hot in the middle of the day, and some possible heavy rains with terrible thunderstorm near the end of the day.
  6. I'm watching The summer Hikaru died, the producers stated it was a horor movie, but turned out all the images and metaphors in the anime was about same sex love, or it just the way I interpreted it. But I was really impressed by the beauty and arts of the the whole movie, I will read the manga too if in the future.
