Wonder Festival Winter 2016: Anime Garage Kits (Part 2)
We now return to our regularly scheduled anime garage kit showings where various (superior) non-KanColle shipgirls and tank crews argue over which is the best branch of the armed forces.
Rori also brings over some of the other cast members from Gate whom nobody remembers because Rori (it's Lelei and Pina in case you actually don't remember. I don't blame you) and we get to go full on retro with kits of Kei and Yuri from Dirty Pair and Kagura from Azumanga Daioh!
Someone also made kits of the twins from Black Lagoon. Definitely one of the more messed up arcs from that manga... And that's saying something!
