As a fellow figure collector I'm a little upset that KZbin took a really long time to recommend me your channel. Nevertheless I'm glad to be one of your newest subscribers.

[@Daijoububu]

Aw, thanks so much!!

[@BreeBrando]

I’d say start off with the part 1 anime and continue on since everything is pretty true to the manga and if you can’t wait any longer for the next parts, you can switch to the part 6 manga and so on^^ Its a very fun anime/manga and I highly recommend, it’s most likely my 2nd fav! ☺️

[@JoanneOfArc]

Ahh loved your Q&A!! The Mistborn series is soo good 😍 so glad that someone else I know enjoyed that series haha!

[@user-sb4fm2sf5r]

Your videos are so fun to watch! I don't know much about figure collecting but it's really nice seeing people share their interests. Hope you're having a good day!

[@tobiazpettersson1141]

I recently found your channel and have been binging trough a lot of them. Really enjoyable and have given me a lot of inspiration for how to decorate my own study. Love enamel pins and art prints so your canvas boards were like a little lightbulb that lit up! 😊💡 Have been struggling for a while to find a good way to display them. Also a little manga tip of mine, Witch Hat Atelier. A magical story with one of the most wonderful art styles I’ve seen. Highly recommend! Keep up the good work!

[@extrapc1662]

Just start watching Jojo part 1, the first part is kind of slow but its pretty short too. After part 1 it really starts to pick up the pace.

[@allforhanji]

I can't believe you answered all of my questions!!! my heart jumped out at that moment haha, it's my first time being in a video like this >u< I was so happy, thank you so much! You are my favorite youtuber and I always enjoy watching your new videos. Loved learning more about your hobbies and thoughts :) Hopefully 10K soon so Daruma-san can get his second eye painted! And yaay, you share the love for food figures. I'm also obsessed with Rem&Ram in a dessert cup. I do get the Ramune thing, I don't like the taste of ramune but I still love the concept and aesthetic of it. I also love Psycho Pass, and I'm surprised you don't have any of their pinched straps in your enormous pinched strap collection! Ginoza is the only pinched strap I own.

[@daniellefreiwah]

Well I’m just happy you started making videos 🥰

[@1988atty]

love your videos, youre so easy to watch, always seem to have content im happy to watch. keep it up :)

[@joachimlape1338]

I watch all the youtubers you mentioned and all I can say is you are the best among them all. I hope you continue doing youtube!

[@sofiewithanf9776]

I also watch almost all the same collectors on KZbin that you do! It's always fun to see all of you referencing and recommending each other. Figure collecting can be a small world lol

[@pakuccino]

Thanks for answering my questions! Your little doggo is so cute!

[@Awarsing]

Great video! Thanks for the great answers and answering my question :D

[@meowtchaa]

It was a surprise to hear that you love the death game genre! That is always my favorite for manga too and no one else ever shares the love.

[@l1ndo]

Ohh you started anime in HK and that’s how I started as well when I went on a family vacation to HK when I was young! I got into Sailormoon, Dragon Ball, doraemon, etc! I haven’t watched anime since HS but due to covid I started again. You inspire me a lot hehe can’t wait for more videos!

[@pizzucrute3637]

Haylleeeyy! :D Sunday video yeaah!

[@LiahsFigures]

Rapidfire Q&A! :D Was really cool to hear some of these answers and thanks for answering the question about what aspect of programming you do! I've gone though the on call experience and being up at 3am isn't the most fun, but we got a day holiday in return for doing a release day and other benefits for it so it was never as bad. Also love that you used the poop emoji for JavaScript/TypeScript/React haha!! Very fitting. I miss Java already now my company is pushing for TypeScript with AWS lambdas instead.

[@mildungca5619]

Started collecting figures after watching you, Gwyn Collects, and Animbae! So these tips and stuff were quite helpful :))

[@deborahyung4094]

OMG yasss another figure/manga collector who also grew up with Canto dub anime! hehe I love all the videos you have made, and look forward to seeing more :)

[@yuruyuurei8665]

I love watching your videos! And you have god-tier taste in manga!! :)

[@Styrac]

This quarantine has just been a cycle of me finding hobbies/addictions to ruin my wallet. First it was coffee, then it was keyboards, then it was vinyl collecting, then it was figure collecting, and now I'm doing all 4 at the same time... I cannot afford this but I am happy regardless

[@unicorns1393]

have you ventured into manga yet that's the new thing that's ruining my wallet

[@Styrac]

@@unicorns1393 Little bit, Ive got every volume of Persona 5 so far, the first 5 of Jojo Part 4, and I just bought all the volumes that havent been adapted of AoT so I can finish it and avoid spoilers

[@andresm645]

Really liked this video! 2 things: - I have the Alter Jeanne Alter and this made me feel warm inside xD - I have been so close to starting a channel myself, this takes me one step closer

[@Daijoububu]

Sooo jealous of the Alter J'Alter 😂

[@yeeg3716]

Definitely start off the Jojo anime with Phantom Blood. Things may drag a bit at first, but it’s only uphill from there.

[@EliteCollector]

I haven’t read the manga but I would still suggest starting with it for the first 3 parts as I feel that those parts tend to drag a bit in the anime (especially part 3) and you might be able to get through them quicker in manga format. Then, For part 4 and 5 watch the anime, they are soooo good. Part 4 is my favorite and I’m currently watching part 5 and the animation just seems to keep getting better and better.

[@albyesparza6566]

Kingslayer chronicles!! Omg yeess, soo gooddd

[@juliatrejo6598]

i really enjoy watching your videos :)

[@shoujosadpop9904]

Okay ur top 10 is what made me subscribed

[@kira1600]

I started watching jojo like 3 months ago and it's in my opinion a must watch, when I first heard about it I didn't wanna watch until my friend kept pushing me too, and I just love it now, I haven't read the manga but it's pretty popular so I definitely would if your thinking about reading it.

[@rocketpunchgo1]

I'm the 999th Thumbs Up and 100th comment... I feel special somehow :-) Also: Subscribed! Great content so far, binged 5 episodes so far!

[@Panda8127AJ]

I love your videos! Some advice for Jojos: Jojos is not for everyone and fans understand that so take it at your own pace, part one and two are a bit slow but they arent as long as parts 3,4 and 5. Once you hit part 3 is where the pace starts to pick up! Have fun with Jojos it's an awesome series!

[@EmmanuelMarin07]

Aye! Fellow programmer! Well, not exactly; I'm still new to it 😅 I'm new to figure collecting too; have a few preorders for later this year! Content creators like you make it look so fun! Thank you for what you do and keep it up! 😁

[@Toonie]

Awesome video! It’s great to know more about you :)

[@adrianoalves5829]

I think the best way to get into JoJo is watching the anime. It's a really good adaptation with all the plots from the manga, no fillers, very good voice acting, animation and some elements that the manga obviously lacks (especially the dramatic color changes and soundtrack). I like the manga a lot, but parts 1 to the beginning or part 4 have that kind of outdated 80s shounen style. After you finish the 5 parts that where animated so far you will have a better time starting the manga from part 6 onward.

[@Ilint]

Excited to see the mechanical keyboard video, been in the hobby for about a year and have slowly been getting friends in it. Their poor wallets 😅

[@brycemcintire7315]

Looking forward to seeing more and figures to feed my growing addiction! I love your display cases where did you get them?

[@Daijoububu]

Thanks! They're the Detolf shelves from Ikea :)

[@KainiusTheGreat]

Thumbs up for that sweet, sweet 4k background footage!

[@gacharizer1372]

Most people would say start with Jojo part # 1... though I started watching part 3 then watched part # 2 then # 1. It's because I found part # 3 to be relatable due to the memes but my favorite by far is part # 2. Hope you get to enjoy the anime and congrats for hitting 7K!

[@floof4lyfe596]

Love Yuru Camp ^_^ I have just preordered the 1/7 scale Furisode Nadeshiko and Rin figures on AmiAmi and can' t wait ^_^ But had to miss out on a second hand Megumin Nendoroid for them 😅

[@joeycohen7533]

Glad I’m not the only one who got into collecting through jack rippon

[@spookygeek9459]

Thank you for sharing that it’s nice to know a bit about you great video take care 😊👍🏼👍🏼🌸

[@jeromehess9956]

I dont often comment on YT , but wanted to say, great vid, I only have a few figures, mainly focused on one author, but your channel is SO relatable I enjoy watching you. You have a lot of knowledge but don't act like an expert. Yet on the other side of that coin, your not so self effacing as to be annoying. (the following is a pure 'guy' remark so your SO may get aggravated) your combination of looks, accent and obvious intelligence is VERY attractive and your SO should consider themselves very lucky. Im much older but also work in IT on the other side, you write the apps, i support them. I thought that reveal was one of those 'relatable' moments that makes your channel so enjoyable. I hope for your continued success, watching from the deep south USA - J

[@mariotaz]

Australia has strange weather. I can't get used it. Oh and I used to do programming and then left to travel. I don't even collect figures but I like watching it

[@Onyx619]

Ohh deception that game is always so fun

[@IHATEBO3]

Love the video, I do wonder what is the character on your shirt ? Or where could I get one like it, its a cool shirt

[@xPuzzleMasterx]

I'm glad KZbin recommended me this.

[@JennySupremo]

GOODNIGHT PUNPUN. Ghaaad top tier 💯

[@aerithg7417]

?

[@dumbassslut1210]

WoW I'm pretty early here

[@deionzo9358]

I definitely recommend The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson as well.

[@nighteyesiv]

Finally giving Sanderson a shot after like a decade, I bought the Mistborn series to start! My husband got me into mechanical keyboards and I was not ready for how much money I would be dropping 🙃

[@Daijoububu]

Mech keyboards are definitely a never ending pit of money, the preorders are even more insane than figures lmao

[@Meowy_Mix]

Your taste in manga (psychological horror, shitty death games) and games are so similar to mine, I'm so surprised. FONV and Bioshock are my favorites too. Also I feel like Phat company lately has been overcharging soo much for scales almost like they're testing the waters on how much they can get away with. It sucks cause some of them look so good like Semiramis and Hokusai.

[@Kashiblood]

Have you tried the board game 'Betrayal at house on the hill'? We seem to have a lot in common & this is my fav board game so I thought I'd recommend it to you!

[@maris4137]

Just discovered this channel. Interesting topics. Subbed.

[@phasbo]

About the jojo thing, definitely start with the anime, not that the manga is bad, quite the opposite, but the voice acting on the anime is awesome and the opening songs are all bangers

[@tundraboy6498]

You truly have great taste in video games 😄

[@haysayer]

That Chitoge alter figure is top 10 fav figures ever

[@vidjyagamers4055]

been binging your figure videos. My wallet is not safe

[@TheRealRhinji]

I like the same food when I visiting HK too :)

[@ray4908]

thank you KZbin algorithm for once for recommending this channel

[@MacHoPIkAhu]

MegaHouse has a good Riza Hawkeye figure coming out soon

[@iijqqrrr122]

wait i got the same shirt....but i think the material is different

[@user-nt2fe6iq4r]

i recommend you watch ghost in the shell, and serial experiment lain.

[@GigaBeanZ]

I love watching figure collectors even though I’m not gonna ever buy since I don’t think it’s my interest or passion but this was still nice to watch! :)

[@makinishikino6142]

Yesss another Hawkeye fan

[@alicek7724]

yes psycho pass :D if they did release a new shinya scale i think i would actually pass out XD

[@aperturius]

Wingspan!!!

[@19aaron83]

Which websites or Instagram accounts do you get updates from for upcoming figure releases/preorders?

[@Daijoububu]

[@SheldyxSheld]

6:52 haha I watch most of them as well :P

[@MinusNoir]

There's a question: Since you like psychological / horror genre and you also play games, what do you think about Silent Hill 2? (If you're not familiar with it, please check it out, it's off-the-charts). Btw great channel.

[@Daijoububu]

Never played any of the Silent Hill games, but it does seem like something I'd like to get into in the future :)

[@lidu6363]

Please tell me you're a fan of the Gantz manga 🙏 It sounds exactly like what you described as your favorite genre...

[@meekatoblerone5242]
