Iโve seen evangelion so it definitely counts for me! :p
It is a bit of an expensive hobby, there is no shame in buying knockoffs from temu or Aliexpress though! Quality isnโt too much worse and itโs a fraction of the price. I try to buy originals when I can but I have bought some knockoffs before.
Japan is a whole anoter world for that stuff. Not only are there so many huge stores selling kits and figures, Japan has a massive resell market with stores like Mandarake that you can find retired stuff very often for cheap secondhand prices. I really hope youโll get to see it someday too!
My roommateโs very into models (I lean a bit more into Lego) so we get cargo from Japan so often. I think his dad has some deal with a company, we have boxes upen boxes.
Pacific Rim is like a loveletter from the west to mech anime. Iโm sure youโll love it. It is standalone, but know that it has an atrocious sequel that really doesnโt deserve that title. It still scratches that mecha itch a bit but not as good as the first.
