Hey guys! The videos I plan to share on Patreon are videos that would otherwise never make it on RUclips - either being too spicy, too niche or too random :P The first exclusive video is a SkyTube Baseball Girl figure unboxing video ⚾⚾ Feel free to check it out if you're interested: www.patreon.com/daijoububu
Thanks!!! :)
I've been watching these videos a while from a few of you now and started to wonder if I should join in on making videos. But hearing about your problem with videos, I lost all interest. I'd have too many figures anyway that youtube would randomly hate for no proper reason. They are art, how hard is it to understand nobody buys them for sexual purposes?
Your patreon solution sound like a good idea. Sadly I avoid those for other reasons, which is that they too enjoy kicking people out of their service for adult content or because other social media platforms whined that they disliked the person so that Patreon should also kick the person off their platform.
Not as bad experiences with onlyfans yet though. Maybe that is the place to be, and instead of being a woman taking photos of myself, I could just take photos and make videos of anime girl figures.
A random dark hair lady with big breast is not suddenly yumeko if you make her hold some cards
Maybe just imagine that it's a statue of someone cosplaying as her?
@@UberNoodle literally, I like the bunny figure itself but its just not yumeko at all 😭
Nope lol - I'd definitely have her if I collected scales though - she looks very cool, but just not at all like the character she's apparently based on
It does say Yumeko Jabami on the package and the logo of kakegurui is on the package tho
It's wild to me that all the discourse is around her janky face when her bust is completely the wrong size lol
It's scary how some people think 13k yen is considered "cheap" 😂 thats like my current price ceiling
I’ve heard people say 300$ is cheap for a figure and I’m like 😀 ??? cheap for who? Jeff Bezos?
My target range back in the good old days was 6-8k. These days I look at figures at 30k and go "Well, I want it, but it also cost the same as my old Dollfie Dream Rin Tohsaka V2 1/3rd scale doll". So I'm so far off that I look at things at 19k as dirt cheap, and 23k as normal.
Me who's bought over 1000$ figure...
0_0
I’m someone willing to spend 25k or more (on figures I REALLY want) but 13k for a figure with such an obvious defect is a scam lmao
@@linusgustafsson2629 i found the Millionare
I feel like they flopped on the Yumeko completely and it was a complete wasted opportunity. I feel like it was sculpted by someone who had never seen the source material. I kinda wish she was seated on her knees with a face of pure ecstasy on her face - moments away from her winning gamble. They could of incorporated her house pet tag into the pose - made her necktie like the one she wears in the school uniform... so much wasted potential for a character concept ideal for a bunny figure 😭
EXACTLYYY except that concept would actually require Freeing to put some thought into the figure instead of slapping a character head on a bunny suit and selling it for 30k yen. I just can't help but feel fatigued with these bunnies,,,, （＞人＜；）
she looks so plain for a character who's defined by her "craziness"
actually yumeko’s figure makes even more sense now. i get you guys wanting more but women at casino’s who wore bunny suits would always tempt men to gamble. that’s where the person who designed her figure got the idea from. it’s honestly disrespectful to the artist for people to automatically assume they just put it her in a bunny suit for the sexy factor; shes supposed to tempt the main character and others around her to gamble throughout the entire anime.
you guys have no knowledge of what gambling actually was so you start spitting on what they had figuratively dressed her in. please like at least invest into looking these things up. her character makes the most sense to put in a bunny suit compared to ANY other characters they’ve put into bunny suits yet you’re the same people who buy those. just saying. there’s a lot of meaning behind the bunny suits besides the fact they’re sexy. you seeing them being put on random characters just for the sexy factor has made you think their meaning is meaningless.
@@kaxo8550 did you...read the comment you're replying to at all?
u mean ecstacy? sure hope not
I didn't recognise Yumeko when I saw her bunny, I legit thought it was a oc. I think the overall bunny and face look really nice, just nothing like the actual character it's based off.
I agree on the statement that if you mess up the eyes it messes up the whole face which makes the figure less desirable.
For Doki-chan, I'm even more in shock because of her hair or paintjob in general. There's almost no shading, resulting in a flat look overall. The prototype had really well done shading that captured Yoms' style.
I think well done shading elevates a figure immensely and is the key difference in that crucial 100$ to 200$ price range.
That Doki-chan isn't even worth 10k Yen in my eyes. The pose and sculpting is not exciting enough and the paintjob fails to add value. It's a shame.
Yeah. All of the problems for that figure boil down to the paintjob. If you freeze the video at 11:06, you can see that the cast is absolutely fine, but the paint is basically non existent on the hair (no shadows at the tips nor highlights in the centre), and there isn't sufficient depth or interest in the sculpt to compensate: the paint on the prototype was doing all of the work. Also, the eye transfers on the final model may be a fraction too close together (in the prototype, they tuck ever so slightly under the hair).
I have 1500¥ prize figures with better paint jobs and hair sculpts. That's saaaad.
All the figures look good in that video, I don't get It...
@@flyingorange2482 The Diavolo is in the details.
yeah, its a cute figure! if she costed 20-40 dollars... i have $25 dollar figures with MUCH more detail than thus
I couldn’t agree with you more!
When PO for Yumeko dropped both the face and honkin’ bazonkas just seemed too inaccurate for me. Azuki on the other hand was my first ever scale and I adore her. Truth be told, I didn’t know about the different leg color issue until weeks after I got her. The base is great, the pose is great, and the paint job is great. Personally still can’t see the difference between the two legs but maybe I’m seeing them through rose tinted glasses.
Also, I decided to pass on the Nuts PO, but you have me reconsidering haha 😂
Ugh, Union Creative... the one UC figure I have is also the only figure I've gotten that was a massive disappointment compared to the prototype (the shading was basically non-existent), so I'm scared to order UC figures now... 😥 I'm glad at least the Azuki was a win, very cute. ❤
Oh no i’m worried about my uc sayu that i pre ordered now….
My UC are all really good, but they’re all the same line, love ru from darkness
I have one UC figure. It's a Motoko Kusanagi figure. It's quite a few years old. I really love the pose and sculpt and the fact that she's using her optic camouflage so her legs are going transparent. But the paint of her skin is ageing, perhaps at the rate of a regular human being, lol She still looks nice, but nowhere near as luminous as she used to.
Had the same issue with the Erina OC Figure. Looked like a bootleg, had to sell this fig. Lol
Really glad you liked the Azuki figure! It’s one of my favourites, in my collection, and I didn’t even notice the colour on the leg until you mentioned it. Such a stunning figure, especially for the price!
I know right! So cute and so affordable - looking forward to see what Nekoyome puts out next!
Yeah, you basically nailed it on the Yumeko figure (face too chubby, lips lack sharpness)... I'm sad for her because I really wanted her bunny figure to be awesome, but I can't bring myself to value her face as Jabami Yumeko at all. Wallet-kun's rejoicing though; he's been looking for some much needed relief lately.
They did Douki-chan so dirty 😭 It's such a shame how inconsistent UC because they have a lot of very pretty original characters imo.
Yes! They make so many nice OC characters - its a shame its a risk everytime :(
my yumeko arrived decapitated, which was apparently a pretty common issue with her
I'll be 100%, I skimmed the last figure reveal and did NOT recognize that this was Yumeko until her anime art popped up and I had to pause the video, wow
Honest to God, the Douki-chan figure doesn't feel like it's worth 15K yen, it looks like a crane game prize with how flat and unshaded it looks 😬
so it's mid like the anime💀
Face aside, the Yumeko figure does not do it for me because it lacks her trademark crazy energy.
In my eyes, the jabami figure is not the worst, but could be better. Like the chitoge figure, i wished they incorporated gold, blue, red and blue elements to bring out the casino feel, and maybe make the tailcoats longer to drape over. We have seen the other tailcoat figures and they obviously could do that. It just felt like they went lazy to me for jabami. the face expression does seems like shes mid talk, but either go big with the crazy face or give her her looking down on opponent face. PICK ONE.
She can fly as a OC figure but BECAUSE she is from a source material of kakegurui, Nope. its a nope. She not ugly persay though. Just not yumeko.
I think the Yumeko figure is pretty but I don't think it looks anything like her. I think the figure of her by Kotobukiya looks way better simply cuz it looks like her.
the raised leg is a little more green or gray-ish (?) but as long as you're happy with the figure... it doesn't matter :D That Union Creative figure tho... kinda looks like, to me, a prize figure
Also, just wanna add.. that Jabami bunny could've been better if they made her facial expression a little bit more crazier
I'm not a bunny figure fan and quarter scales are usually too big for me but I would've seriously considered buying Yumeko had it not been for the massive bazonkas or whatever we call them haha!! I'm generally not a fan of big boobs on figures because I know what they feel like irl and looking at this Yumeko figure is enough to give me massive second-hand back pain LOL!
you were talking about the first figure like $100 isnt a lot of money to spend on a figure. I don't expect every detail to be hand sculpted in but an entire leg being a different color is insane for $100. I usually quickly grasp the conversion but with how you were talking about it I was actually second guessing myself, thinking it must have been, like, $15
I have a friend who bought Yumeko and she swears black and blue that it looks exactly like her...
but i just don't see it :(( so glad i didn't order her tbh !!
Your friends experiencing sunk cost fallacy lol. That looks nothing like the character
@@Zach64612or they don't take this shit as strangely serious as you do. 😂
@@watchmesquatch using my eyeballs isn't that serious. It's kind of what they do pretty much all the time... you know? Seeing things?
Oh man, that Douki-chan looks like a prize.
In fact I have cheaper figures that looked less overall flat and... I dunno, matte looking, is like they skipped a step while painting her.
That's why I'm always wary of presales and ordering or buying figures without any reference besides promotional photos.
Sometimes the promo photos look much better than the actual product and the sneakier ones just "retouch" them. It happens with prize figures, it happens with more costly ones.
I immediately hurried over to Patreon to support you! Your videos have such a nice and cozy vibe while also being super entertaining, making them one of the highlights of my weeks! I’m very happy to have this opportunity to support your content, and I’m very excited to keep following your figure journey :)
I personally don't like or mind Yumeko's face, as I don't know if the face breaks the figure, per say. I actually sort of like the hair sculpt and I feel like it's the saving grace because of how spread out the strands are, it does give the figure that presence you were talking about. I do think they were also going more for calm Yumeko and not gambling-crazy Yumeko.
But those breasts are absolutely ridiculous LOL I can't believe they thought that was okay. It reminds me of the bunny girls that have way too long of legs just so they compete with the other 1/4 scales. One bunny that I went for was the Lacia bunny from BEATLESS, and I think her face is also debatable, but there are enough details for me to immediately go "that's Lacia" so The difference is negligible in some cases like hers.
new daijoububu video lfg! also i really like the framing as well as color pallete of your videos! Not sure if you edit them that way or just have your camera set up and framing down to a science but your vids are easy on the eyes to look at! keep up the posts!
as someone who only ocassionally buys cheaper vocaloid figures, i didn't think they were too bad! if someone who only bought the figures as a one off i don't think they would be too mad about it, i don't think i would have even noticed the flaws hahah
I was one of those people who had to post a note on r/animefigures telling people to NOT leave negative comments about her face when I posted my Yumeko bunny, since every post involving her had hate comments flooding the post. It was just unnecessarily repetitive and toxic. Like, we get it. You don't like her face.
Onto my personal opinion, though: When I first saw that she was announced, I didn't know that it was supposed to be Yumeko (I also was initially disappointed with the final product due to people repeatedly posting pics of her with flash on, which came out awful looking). I didn't really care for the face and honestly only preordered her out of fear of the aftermarket and the other Yumeko figures having ridiculously high aftermarkets. After I received her, however, she became one of my favorite FREEing bunnies. Of course, I am not blind. She has some QC issues/lack of details and they didn’t nail her face 100%, but I feel that her face definitely looks better irl than the promo pics. Who knows, maybe they'll make an alternative version with her "crazy" face? If they do, I would be willing to get rid of the original version in favor of the "crazy" version.
Also, speaking of her giant melons, I don’t understand why FREEing felt the need to increase the bust size of a character who ALREADY has a big bust…….? Seems like overkill. Then again, maybe they just appear bigger than normal because she’s pushing them up with her arm and is wearing an open suit?
if i saw that yumeko figure without being told that it was yumeko i wouldn't think it was her
15:55
"My boyfriend actually really love the face"
Me:...because she looks like you! 😏
I wanna say that too... and, like you, I mean it in a nice/good way.
I took another look and it looks more like her than Jabami. That's kind of endearing.
Just found your channel, great reviews! definitely subbed. I'm a die-hard figure collector and your channel will be a huge help when shopping! I especially collect the FREE-ing bunny figures so having up close, detailed breakdowns of them are paramount for me.
I actually like the yumeko jabami figure but I do think it’s a bit pricey considering it doesn’t really look like her but overall I still like the figure
Hayley! Can you please do a video about how to repackage your figures for moving?
I save all the plastic, blisters, and boxes but I am so overwhelmed trying to pack some figures. I feel like you have quite the experience because of all the moving pls help a fellow mover 🥲
The first two look like pricefigures to me (the first like a good price figure except for the leg, the other like a regular price figure) and as for the last figure I just hate the facial expression. I would buy none of them, but if I had to choose, I would choose the second figure because I would absolutely hate the different colored leg even if it might be only slightly noticable in person and I expect the flag staff-thingy to bend over time and be really prone to breaking while being cleaned or in transport (there is a way better figure of Jubami, otherwise I would choose that).
11:30 Wow... I really like the alternate version of this fig - for 15,000 yen, she should have def come w/ a second face plate.
Union creative is breaking my heart. They have all these awesome figures, like the whole calne ca line is amazing. Then they make basic figures at a higher price that are definitely not worth it lol. I will say though the china dress chizuru they released fairly recently, I grabbed second hand for half the price. I don't see why people didn't love it other then it wasn't worth the retail price. lol
Also, the Yumeko, I'm in your camp. I don't think i hate the face but i don't like it enough to buy it.
the calne figures are so cool
i was also a victim of a disappointing union creative preorder recently... i should have believed the people telling me to wait esp bc their OC figures don't typically skyrocket in the aftermarket anyways. the prototype was just so pretty (it was the snow white), i thought even if it wasn't all the way there i'd be happy. but no, the fact that it's like 75% like you said makes it more disappointing like, what could have been😭.
edit: but i'm trying to like it so ik what you're talking ab in the jabami section. and i feel like it doesn't look like yumeko? like only the hair makes me 100% sure it's yumeko, cuz her body and face are both off
I looked at myfigurecollection on my profile, and it seems like I have managed to somehow never buy a union creative figure. That or forgotten to add the figure to my collection. But I've started to be curious about those figures now that I hear about them.
@@linusgustafsson2629 i have another one from them i bought preowned that's actually nice. and their designs are always unique or really pretty OCs. that's two pluses that make me not write them off forever, but proceed w caution haha
Let’s gooooo new video!!!
Omg yes I’m getting coconut as well her preorder bonus is so cool too
The Douki-chan looks like a prize figure, no offense. The base is too simple and there is almost no shading at all in the paint. And 15k Yen price tag? I don't even know what to think about it.
I know - the 15k pricetag was already a rip-off if we had got a figure that matched the prototype but getting a *worst* figure than the prototype? not worth 15k in a million years 😭
@@Daijoububu oh, you noticed my comment. That is awesome! 😁
Shame about Douki-chan, but your chapter title, "Doki-Chan more like dookie chan" killed me! lol
Honestly, I don't think the Douki-chan figure looks that bad. I do agree with the quality on her face though, there was definitely something off when I first unboxed it, but I think I've more or less accepted this purchase since I do usually enjoy the work Union Creative does on their higher quality figures.
The Yumeko figure’s face reminds of that squirrel meme I’ve seen on Instagram stuffing it’s face 🥴.
Love the video keep up the great work
I feel like a really big reason the yumeko bunny looks a bit strange is the eyes, they feel too high on her head and its just setting me off
I agree with you on the Jabami and I'm kinda sad they just missed the mark with her. When I initially saw her pop up on AmiAmi I just thought oh another bunny in a different suit and I was shocked when I read that this was supposed to be Jabami.
Yeah, UC is a real hit or miss... I got their Cat Maid form Mika Pikazo and she is awesome, I also heard that their Albedo Figure was really good. But they sometimes have real problems with their QC especially for the prices they ask...
I'm holding out on the Nekoyome figures since they said that they won't be doing Chocola & Vanilla from the same Race Queen set (guessing since the rights are now with Hobby Max/Mimeyoi). Bummer since I do like the bases.
I have the Illya from Union Creative POed so I hope she turns out well 🤞
Yo legit, they made Jabami look like a knights of sidonia character lmao. Look it up and tell me I'm wrong
Yumeko looks fine to me, what's bugging me is her hair looks gray and not black.
the yumeko “bunny” outfit actually makes more sense than you think.
female gambler/roulette dealers typically wore bunny outfits and dealt cards. they were trying to captivate the sexiness but again they have little knowledge of who yumeko is. but the bunny part, i want to clarify, isn’t meaningless. actually, her character as a gambler fits it much better than any other anime character that wears a bunny suit. it peeves me that they did this to chiaki when it makes no sense yet people eat that up lol.
"My boyfriend liked the face"... 😐 oh sweet summer child, im sure he only bought the bunny cuz he "Just" liked the face 😂
Yes I was bummed out about the bunny girl. As soon as I saw her face on the pictures I was worried
I love flag figures because I did Color Guard/Winter Guard (flag spinning and tossing).
The name of the timestamps, i cannot 😭✋
This is my first time seeing the Douki-chan figure, and I actually really like it? It's cute. I might actually have to keep my eye on yahoo
oh man Doki-chan looks a tad dissapointed... great video and haul!
douki chan looks perfectly fine to me tbh,, i dont know the character tho so ig idk. but yeah she looks like the prototype to me
Agreed. The prototype looks identical. People getting upset over nothing.
If I spend 250€ on a figure I want it to be at least 95% there. At that price the design has to be perfect and it ends up differing too much from the prototype that hurts.
1st thing when Daijobubu posts a new vid: has she finally acquired Jigokuraku vol 2? Oh not yet :(
omg you and me BOTH - I ordered in last July and it 's still been on back-order this whole time 😭
I actually I thought Yumeko looked good in your video. I think it might've been the lighting, distance, and angles. Great video, thank you so much!
am i the only person who thought they NAILED the yumeko figure? I fell inlove with it the second i saw it. I actually think they nailed the face. Its a perfect combination of flustered and fierce. Or it's just me.
Honestly, I don’t see what’s wrong with the face. Looks good to me
I have a couple union creative figures. They’re such a hit or miss! The ballerina one was perf and maple from nekopara union creative was great. But I had a original character of a cat girl from them and her pose sucks it’s like leaning in person so much down it’s a pain to photograph you have to shoot from higher up..
That second had me boggled- I see zero difference other then lighting…
I own the Douki smile ver. and i must say it does look a bit better and crisper than that version.
Can you help me with a question please, how do you see the last “ended” auctions in Buyee? The price range you mentioned. Are you following every single one or is there a specific option we can follow?
Regards
The look of a figures face is very important. Other areas can have minor defects or issues, as long as the face looks good. There are two yruru camp figures coming out soon. And I've skipped on one of them, and almost skipped the other as well because the faces just didn't seem right. I do have to agree that the Yumeko Jabami face just doesn't look like the character because of the way they sculpted the face.
Wooow, I've seen $30 figures that look better than that Doki-chan figure ;0; So disappointing at that price
I'm not familiar with any of these figures or their controversies, but this video was fascinating.
Lol your disappointed face at 8:55
The only figure I was ever disappointed by after getting it in person is my Grelle Kotobukiya figure from black butler. I LOVED the prototype pictures but in person his bangs didn’t lay right, it was just off enough to bug me. Still love the figure overall, I have the whole 4 piece collection 😊
Union Creative is mediocre at best, but I am not sure if I am glad it's that way because I love Yomu stuff and they have his license, so I am saving a bunch of money with that xD
I really dislike Union Creative, even though I have a couple of figures from them. Their prices are stupidly high for the kind of figures they produce..
I could hear this lady talk about anything her voice is so damn relaxing.
I might be terribly wrong and this comment might come across as super weird... but... I swear you look just like this youtuber I used to watch when I was a kid who did cosplay videos and at first I was convinced you were her. Idk if I'm right or wrong or whatever but I loved the video :)) keep up the good work!!
low key feel like the yumeko face would have fit better on the douki chan figure lol
Wow that bunny girl statue does not look like the original character at all.
The face and chest is wrong, and even her hair colour is more grey then black.
I don’t think I’d ever preorder another Union creative figure after the paintwork I got for the danganronpa ones either tbh, it’s much better to wait and see with them. For Yumeko I didn’t mind her face but like you said, they made the booba too big for me 😅
The face looks so...plane... I mean in the manga and in the anime there are so manny face that Yumeko expreses...she is the master of the Euforia face
I got the Douki-chan but was really disappointed :( I did order the other Yom figures and i hope they are better!
There’s a figure that I pre-ordered awhile ago, it’s from frog, haruka kaneshiro, it’s been delayed several times, and now I’m scared because what if it’s not good like the promo pictures are.
Jabami's figure seems fine to me
Except..... Her huge "personality" seems a bit..... Inaccurate given how her Animation and manga models seem to be slightly smaller than Bunny Jabami
I love your content 🥰🥰🥰
I'm sooooo glad I never pulled the trigger on Douki-chan. Thanks for the review!
One that, despite her different colored legs, is still cute because neko. One has so few details that make her almost unrecognizable, especially at that price. One has so much assets that I can't help but think about shoulder pain - perhaps that is the reason she has such a pained expression on her face.
Ah well. I guess they can't all look perfect like Hayley. ;)
Nice music, by the way. I recognized one of the tunes! :3
I can’t believe that Yumeko became a bunny girl
for the yumeko one. i think the issue they had was that they made it too short height wise.
I feel like this would've made for a more interesting experience if you hadn't read the controversies beforehand, and just knew they were controversial.
Nonetheless still an entertaining and insightful video!
Was expecting more derpy looking figures
I agree with the Yumeko figure , though I will say I think a lot of kakegurui figures are a miss when I see them, a lot of them don’t nail the character. That said their is a few I like
The only figure here I don't have is douki-chan since I'm not interested in the series
I have the azuki and the Yumeko tho and personally no real problem with either
I didn't even notice azukis leg was different on mine
And Bunny Yumeko is also really pretty even tho I still think they could move her eyes a little down
how do we get the first time purchase coupon on buyee?
The only bootleg i own is a shigaraki tomura it was dirt cheap but honestly it was better than athe authentic banpresto figure which was crazy lol
13k is cheap......
Welp time to get sticky second hand figures 😰
the 13k figure looks like the same quality as Furyu's prize figures based on how flat and bright this figure's been painted without any detailed shadow colors on her skin and hair.
You have to take into consideration variations in people's eye sight. Some people can differentiate colors and textures and sheens at a way higher resolution than other people, and some people have varying degrees of color blindness and far sightedness. Lighting will also have a massive effect on how colors are perceived. Using two different plastics on the legs def seems like a rooky mistake that was bound to cause a problem IMO.
Me, I'm near sighted, but my eye for detail and color variation up close is intense enough that those tools jewelers use to look at stones close up makes no difference vs just holding it close to my eye. Downside is I'm very photosensitive and near sighted.
I just think the Yumeko figure has the facial proportions wrong, literally I think putting the eyes a bit lower on the face would fix the most glaring problem in my eyes
I've been wanting to get Yumeko but the more I look at the figure it just doesn't feel like her at all. I've seen different concepts of her in a bunny costume and I feel they should've been more unique with the outfit as the stockings will always be iconic since it's real fishnets. Her face looks absolutely nothing like her and wish they gave her the crazy look she always has. Overall it's cute but could be way better
Heyo! I can see the less pinker left leg from a mile away hehe - but as you say, her other attributes/price make up for it.
How could you diss Douki-chan? LOL I guess I'm too much of a Douki-chan simp. Yes, a bit too much for a plain OL look, and now looking at her prototype (I couldn't remember the details until this video reminded me) I agree the shading of the paintjob not only around her hair but also her blue top looked way better - but she nice to my eyes. And I err... have preordered Kouhai-chan and Senpai-san too... BTW I have also seen an illustration of her in a kimono by Yomu on Twitter early this year (IIRC) and a figure of her in that would be an instant preorder. #doukisimp
I think Jabami's face looked better "IRL" - by that from recent user photos and even this video, but I agree something is still off. Her "straight-edged" (I don't how to describe this) hair at the back looks weird and the hair colour looks flat (does it look better iRL?). And your video has a side angle of her face which I don't see on photos thus far and she looks good at that angle. I didn't preorder her as I prefer getting her Kotobukiya ArtFX but if she happens to appear on Buyee cheaper... I may just get... her.... *whistles* Just to add - as you say FREEing does get some characters' faces a bit off and that includes *hot take* the well-loved Sakurajima Mai bunny in my humblest of opinions. I jumped for the 1/7 Aniplex scale for Mai because of that.
