The July 2020 Otaku Box is here!

Hey there. I received the July Otaku Box a few weeks ago but I've been a bit busy so I haven't had a chance to write up this post. Until now, that is! I've finally got the pictures taken and I've pretty excited to let you guys know what I got in this month's edition of The Otaku Box. This month's box has some great items from some of my favorite anime: High School DxD, Overlord, Konosuba, and Darling in the Franxx. Let's dig into The Otaku Box - July 2020 Edition and let's take a look at the items!

Rez Bar Protein Bar Review

Get Rez Protein Bar
Oh man... Need me a Rez Bar to get back in the game!

Hey there. You know, I recently started working out again. After surgery, I was practically prohibited from really doing much in exercise. Just this past month or so, I started to feel confident enough to start building up a sweat so I started to lift weights and go out for a run here and there. First thing that I noticed is that I am really out of shape. lol My stamina is no where near where it was pre-surgery and my body is not as strong as it was either. I'm going to have to work on my stamina and strength. It's almost as if I've been knocked down and am just getting back up again. It seems as if I need to be revived... I need to get rez'd.. or better yet... I need a Rez Bar. Our good friends at Get Rez has hooked me up with a box of 10 of their amazing peanut butter and chocolate (anything that's peanut butter and chocolate is amazing) Get Rez Protein Bar. Is this just the boost that I need to help me boost my stamina and strength stats to get me back to my pre-workout levels? So what is a Rez Bar? What does it do? And is it awesome? Let's find out! But first, let's talk stats!

Galagathon 2020

Galagathon 2020
Galagathon!!!

Hey there. Retro gaming is awesome. There's just something about the simplicity of the arcade games of the 80's. For many, the concept is simple: Eat dots, avoid ghosts; climb ladders, jump over fire; shoot stuff, don't get shot. Even though the simple concept, they are extremely fun to play. So when an opportunity comes along to have fun and support a charity, you know that your pal Metallman is do his best to be there. And today, I found out about a charity that will raise money to support a local children's hospital through gaming. SIGN ME UP! And sign up, I did! I will be participating in the Galagathon 2020 to help support Riley Hospital for Children. 

The Otaku Box - May 2020 Items

May 2020 The Otaku Box Items
The May 2020 Otaku Box is here!

Hey there. I received my May Otaku Box a little on the late side. We are now in August and I just received it yesterday!  YIKES! It's ok, though. This box was caught in the middle of shipping during a COVID issue so it's understandable that some shipments will be getting here a bit late. Good thing that our good friends at The Otaku Box have jumped on the shipping issues and have done their best to fix it. So much so that I should be getting my July box either today or tomorrow. A mere 2 weeks after shipping. YES! So without any more delay, let's dig in The Otaku Box - May 2020 Edition and let's see what we got!

Resurrecting the Thoughts On... Series

Anime to watch
Must see anime!

Hey there. I do quite a bit of TV watching and reading. Err... I mean, I watch a lot of anime and read a lot of manga. lol There is just so much good stuff in the anime world right now that it has been pretty hard to keep up with it all. But there are a few series that I just cannot miss. Shows like Re:Zero, Rent-A-Girlfriend, and Sword Art Online: War of the Underworld are must watch for me. And let's not forget the manga that I'm currently following as well. We're talking Tower of God, Kaguya-Sama: Love is War, My Hero Academia to name a few. Because I'm always checking something out, I figure that this is the perfect opportunity to bring back my Thoughts On... series.
