Whats in the Box - LootAnime November Crate 2015

I think it is not surprise to anyone who follows me that I love a Loot Crate and subscription boxes. 

It would also be no surprise that I love anime and Manga

So when the prospect of BOTH together showed up..... 

I JUST HAD TO...

Now when the November crate arrived in early December 2015. I couldn't wait and had to dive in right away. I have since received the December crate this week and recorded a Unboxing video on youtube.

But even though it is late I thought I would share what was in the November crate..

The theme was Brawl.. 

So without further ado... this is what was inside..

The inside of the box was awesome with a huge image of Ironclad from Sword Art Online.

Naruto Shippuden Akatsuki Tee by Ripple Junction

A very nice t-shirt from  great series. it is a little busy for my liking but is making a great gym shirt. The fit was pretty spot on and it was good quality and 100% cotton.

Exclusive Attack on Titan Glass Mug by Surreal Entertainment

Fighting titans is thirsty work and goodness knows you need large amounts of coffee to keep awake. The mag is pretty cool, I think it would have looked better on a clear glass but that is my preference. It felt nice in had and would be great for those Attack on Titan binge watches.. 

Mystery Mini Anime Blind Box by Funko

I got Sebastian from Black Butler. He is so damn kawaii.. 

Attack on Titan Bandages by Crowded Coop

A bit odd but I guess even the Survey corps need a sticky plaster every now and then..

Seven Deadly Sins Vol 1 by Kodansha Comics

A manga is always a win for me and this series is one I am just getting into so I was very happy

 

Exclusive Founders Phone charm by Loot anime Labs.

This was very cute and took place of the regular pin in normal loot crates.  

And finally a awesome big poster, which also had the list of everything in the crate on the other side.

Overall I really love the anime crate.. 

Favourite item would have been the Seven Deadly Sins Manga Book

There was not one item I didn't recognise the anime or manga it was from which was pretty cool... 

I am such an Otaku

Now if you want to see what I thought of the December Crate...

Pop over to my YouTube channel.. the video is going up today

and if you just can't wait and want in on the looty goodness..go visit Lootcrate 

What was the item you would have wanted most?

Okashi Connection - July Box

If you follow me on Instagram, I am sure by now you have all noticed my love for random Japanese sweets and snack foods.

Pocky, Pocky, Pocky !!

I recently discovered the awesomeness that is
Okashi Connection.

It is basically a Japanese Candy Subscription service. You subscribe for $22 a month and they send you a box of random Japanese treats.

I excitedly waited and when it arrived I might of done a little squeely happy dance

The contents... was awesome..

(note the Kit Kats and Crunch were an optional add on for extra cost.. and I just wanted)

i got my box before the official blog post with the names of what was in it was up.
So there was a lot of... what the hell is that ??

So i will go through each thing in the box and rating of
- Initial reaction to trying it
- How sweet or savoury?
and on a scale of 1 to 5 noms..

what is my score
1 being blegh to 5 being OMG GIMME!!

Starting with the Bonus Items

Raspberry Kit Kat

Ahhh yum,
 Flavour is kinda creamy at first and then you get slapped with a nice big whack of Raspberry flavour.
First Taste Reaction - Very sweet and just a little bit tart
My score -


Crunch Strawberry Cheesecake bars

These are kept in the freezer so they are cold and have little crunchy bits. Quite sweet with a definite strawberry flavour. I like the fact there is crunch to it. 
First Taste Reaction - Sweet and a little sour
My Score -


Ok now for the contents of the Okashi Connection Box for July

Ninjin

In Japanese, Ninjin means carrot, but this taste nothing like carrot. It is a traditional Japanese snack. It is basically puffed rice. 
First Taste reaction - are you sure this isn't puffed wheat cereal??
- My Score

Morokoshi Wa Taro

Consomme flavoured corn snack. These were weird but surprisingly yum. Kind of like a bland not cheese flavoured Cheezel. 
First Taste reaction - A bit bland but yum
- My Score

Bake – Cookies & Cream

Crunchy, Creamy Heaven basically. These are crunchy but then have a creamy soft centre. 

First Taste reaction - Kinda a almost chocolatey, Vanilla flavour..i think. 

- My Score

Oyatsu Kids Pack

This was a mixed pack of treats, that is usually eaten by kids. There is some weird stuff in here. Mixed between savoury and sweet

First Taste reaction - The curry flavoured crisps were bleeegggh. Some other things ok but yeah not a winner for me 

- My Score

Wata Gum – Sour Lemon

First reaction - is this cotton candy, i thought it was meant to be gum.
First Taste reaction - F&#& THAT IS SWEET and a bit sour
it is a little weird, kinda chewy, then dissolves to nothing. 
- My Score


Neru Neru Neru - I got the grape flavour

Kinda like a weird build your own candy. 

You have to mix some powders with water, to a weird kinda gummy paste texture and then roll it in something that looks like pop rocks but are not pop rocks. 

First Taste Reaction - HOLY MOTHER OF ALL GODS THAT IS F^#%ing SWEET 

and yeah to weird for me

- My Score

Cream Collon - Cream Soda Flavour

I am such a juvenile that I giggle every time see these cause my mind just reads colon. 
These were very yum
First Taste Reaction - Crunchy, but soft. Slightly fizzy, sweet/sour flavour
- My Score

Poppin Cookie - Neri Candy Land

This be soooo weird. It is kinda like a cross between play dough and candy. You can roll it and form it into shapes. then eat it

First taste Reaction - Just mainly sweet and kinda chewy. too odd for me

- My Score

All in all I am very happy with the contents of my Okashi Connection box this month and am pumped for the next one... 

One question -  do you want to see a reaction video when I try them for the first time at all? ;)

Now excuse me while I nom what is left....
