Yeah, I know it’s four years old, but fuck it.

Oblivion Island: Haruka and the Magic Mirror Trailer
Highlighted by one of our readers I thought I’d post this here. I hadn’t heard of this until now, not sure if I’m just out of the loop or if it’s relatively unknown.
Synopsis:
| From the studio that brought you Eden of the East, FLCL and Ghost in the Shell comes an exhilarating blend of Japanese folklore and storybook charm reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. This award-winning feature film is sure to amaze animation fans of all ages. 16-year-old Haruka is on a mission to find her mirror—a precious childhood gift from her late mother that has disappeared. On her search, she follows a strange foxlike creature to Oblivion Island, a mystical world overflowing with once-cherished items taken from their neglectful owners. Trouble follows Haruka and her new friend Teo at every turn as they contend with the island’s overbearing ruler, who will stop at nothing to use the mirror for his own sinister plan! |
Available now from Amazon and other major retailers.
Seems relativly interesting. Borrowers meets Spirited Away. Gonna wait for it to show up on Netflix. Though, I must say, I’m a bit peeved that Funimation is putting its tag in there before Production IG. Sure they’re releasing it in the US but they’re claiming importance for dubbing something three years after it’s initial release.

Project NUnicorn – Complete

With her completion she’s been officially designated the NUnicorn. A silly, yet endearing name. It’s okay, because I prefer the nickname ‘Noon.’
This is fouth MG Unicorn kit I’ve completed (one, two, three) and it’s clear to see the improvements over each one. There’s so many opportunities to design new schemes that I’m looking forward to painting the other two I have in my possession.
For Noon roughly 90% of the kit has been painted or at the least received a top coat. Only a few pieces of the internal frame, those not visible, remained untouched. Excluding the orange psycho frame of course. For some reason I like how it looks with the white armor and wanted to keep that aesthetic. The rest of the kit is fairly true to the Nu Gundam colour scheme aside from a few tweaks here and there. Most of the paints are Tamiya; Bright Mica Red, regular & Matt Black, various shades of silver, and a light gray (inner shield & under some of the thruster flaps). Parts of the frame received my favorite Krylon gray primer while white primer was used as a base for Tamiya’s white on the stomach/hip parts.
Project N-Unicorn – Update 03
Last WIP shots for this project. In fact, most of it is almost done, just a key few pieces currently baking. I just wanted to snap a few shots now. For whtaever reason, when this kit is sans arms, you can really see Katoki’s love of long legs.

Project N-Unicorn – Update 02
Things are slowly coming along. I’ve been having some trouble painting key orange pieces yellow. I’m probably going to have to prime all of them on my Titans Unicorn. :/

Project N-Unicorn – Update 01
Project N-Unicorn/Nu-nicorn/νnicorn has swung into high gear. At least 80% of the pieces on this kit are getting individual attention. The brunt of the pieces being left alone are of the orange psycho frame. Aside from a few internal frame pieces that never see the light of day the rest are either being painted grey, a shade of silver, or being left alone and dull coated. The shades of grey are just slightly different enough that it breaks up the frame nicely. Though those subtle differences will likely be lost in the end photos.
