I like the subtle blue shading on Pochaco's top, but the paintwork on the rest of her dress is sort of a mess. Pretty much everywhere the blue and white parts of the dress meet, you can see overpainting, and the yellow laces on the front are quite sloppy.
That Wing Sonico is okay. I might take some photos and do a review of that figure sometime this week, but the main points would be something like this:
Sex Sells: To help the local shopping district compete with the new department store, Suzu makes use of this approach in episode eleven. While initially effective, the department store turns its resources towards hiring a popular idol group, and later tries to get a male idol group in, as well.
Additionally, you can see how some paint transferred from her skirt from her skin. Granted, this is a non-issue for me since I will not be displaying my Pochaco without her skirt, but it's something of which to be aware if you're thinking about getting one of these figures.Hero of Another Story: Super Pochaco is a shy and chubby girl first seen as the third episode. She appears to view Sonico as a role model of sorts: over time, she changes her hairstyle, becomes more confident, dyes her hair, joins a talent agency and dispenses with her glasses. Pochaco with one of my favorite Sonico figures, Orchid Seed's ITEM #198372 . That Sonico is 1/5 scale, and I think that Pochaco's large scale makes these two figures pair very nicely together! Better to Die than Be Killed: Sonico, Fuuri and Suzu jump overboard when they appear to be in danger of being eaten by other passengers during the sixth episode, but the passengers come to their senses and can only watch in horror as the three plummet into the ocean. They are subsequently rescued.
Barely-There Swimwear: For her modelling job in the first episode, Sonico began with a bathing suit that was about three sizes too small. She is subsequently asked to wear something that apparently crossed the line (while never shown on-screen, it appears to be pink and involves glitter). Kitamura, her manager, appears just in time to spare Sonico from having to wear it. Naked Freak-Out: Episode 2 has one happen offscreen at the very end when Sonico's dress melt off her body. While the viewer doesn't see anything explicit (the scene changes right before her nipples become visible) her petrified state implies the audience does, and the last scene is Sonico going fully red before letting out an embarrassed scream.Spotlight-Stealing Squad: In episode three, Kitamura "saves" Sonico from a squid monster instead of letting the heroes of the show do it. Directed by Kenichi Kawamura, with Yousuke Kuroda managing the script, SoniAni: Super Sonico The Animation ( SoniAni for brevity) premièred in winter 2014. The anime features Super Sonico, Nitro Plus' Company Mascot note actually the mascot for Nitroplus' live concert 'Nitro Super Sonic' which first introduced her in 2006, and follows the adventures she encounters in her everyday life. Between her endeavours in academics, modelling career, music and part-time job as a waitress, Sonico always manages to find the time to brighten up the lives of those around her. According to the promotional video Pony Canyon released, Super Sonico is voiced by Super Sonico. note She is actually voiced by Ayano Yamamoto, but Nitro Plus has been trying to cover it up after a PR incident. One small complaint is that her breasts look a little bit awkward when she's viewed from straight ahead. Have you ever run across a figure of one of your favorite characters but you hold off on buying it because you're not too familiar with the manufacturer? Well, today we'll be reviewing such a figure, A-Plus' take on the one and only Super Pochaco. Pochaco has some cast-off features, so many of the shots below are probably NSFW. The NSFW-est shots are behind spoiler tags, so careful with those... Here is Pochaco with (at least in my opinion) the best Pochaco figure currently available, Vertex's "Condensed Milk Photo Shoot" figure of the character ITEM #235623 . That figure is also listed as being 1/6 scale, but it too is probably more like 1/5.5 and you can see that Beer Girl Pochaco is similar in scale.
A Day in the Limelight: Several of the characters get an episode that focuses largely on them, at least in their interactions and relations with Sonico. The paint on the front of Pochaco's garterbelt is not *quite as* sloppy, but it's still pretty messy... SoniPro -Super Sonico in Production- (2014) - an Idol Simulation game, developed by Imageepoch, released for the Nintendo 3DS.Iyashikei: While the series itself won't satisfy the definition, episode seven marks change in pace, being relaxing and slow-paced, with Sonico just wandering around the countryside. The sculpt of Pochaco's fingers is a little bit rough. Also, it's kind of funny that one of the beers she is holding has a frothy head... Balloon Belly: In episode nine, Ouka enters a hot dog eating contest at the school festival and her stomach becomes engorged by her efforts, requiring that she be carried away on a stretcher. Arguments against: There's also a few. The paintwork is simply a mess, particularly on some parts that are exposed when Pochaco's skirt is removed, paint transfer concerns, and Pochaco looks a little awkward from a couple of angles when she's in her cast-off state.
Great Deal
