K-On!: Nakano Azusa 03

Azusa looks up to Mio from the light music club due to her maturity and experience as a bassist. Once, she even tried to give Mio chocolate for Valentine’s Day. However, she sometimes unintentionally points out Mio’s weaknesses, such as her weight. She also thinks Mugi is very beautiful, envious of her hair and large eyes.

To be honest, Azusa has nothing to be envious of. She herself is very talented and cute, right? Thanks to MP Zero for the awesome photography and also to Ange for the contribution!

RustBlaster: Aldred Van Envurio

Born without a Lineage Weapon, Aldred van Envurio is the adopted son of Headmaster Kain van Envurio of the Mercenary Specialized School. Although physically strong, he could not compare against Lineage Weapons, which initially bothered him. He was deemed by most as a failure at the beginning of the manga, with the exception of his teammates.

Another awesome cosplay by Lirlys! And this time, she works with a different photographer, ~yayagami. Thanks to Reneta for sending this!

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Azula

The 14-year-old, manipulative princess of the Fire Nation, Azula is a Firebending prodigy and one of the few living Firebenders capable of casting lightning. She is Zuko’s younger sister and is loyal only to her father, Fire Lord Ozai. She uses fear to control her relatives and friends but even though everyone admired her when she was young, her mother favored her older brother over her.

A beautiful display of Firebending without actual fire by *risachantag! According to her description, she used “Flowlights”, a bright LED glow poi for her fire. She won best solo skit during Manifest 2010. Thanks to Rivalry for suggesting this!

Soul Eater Soul Evans History

Maka's soul (left) and Soul's soul (right)

Soul came from an extremely rich family of musicians. He had an older brother called Wes, a violinist, whom he suffered an inferiority complex to, and although he himself had a talent for playing the piano, he was reluctant to exhibit this talent because he constantly knew that Wes was better than him. After finding out that he was a Demon Weapon however, he found that he was able to escape from his family tradition as musicians and strive to become a Death Scythe instead. Evidence seems to show that he was the first Demon Weapon in the Evans family.
One day while playing the piano he was approached by Maka Albarn who had previously witnessed his ability to turn into a scythe. She asked him to become her partner and Weapon as her dream was to make a Death Scythe for Shinigami-sama; emphasizing on the word scythe, and as such had denied every possible Weapon put in front of her at DWMA. Maka also stated Soul had felt like the first person she could trust, furthermore, performing as Weapon and Meister should be figuratively easier. Soul accepted the agreement with the words 'Sure, sounds cool.' From that point on the two worked together, gathering Kishin Eggs prior to the beginning of the main story.

Soul seems to prefer to forget his past life as a musician, as he dislikes being called by his full name, including his last name, 'Evans.'

Vampire Knight: Kiryuu Zero 07

Zero is very hostile towards the Night Class because of his deep hatred towards all vampires, especially to purebloods who have changed his life forever. He can be very tsundere, meaning cold and distant in the beginning but eventually warming up to people. Despite his anger, his sense of duty overrides his issues, ensuring his reliability and trustworthiness.

Cosplayer Amore of DreamS TraderS makes quite an interesting Zero, especially this photo with plushie Kaname! Looks like she owns a lot of plushies actually; can anyone name them all?

Daddy has a new Car

We dropped the hammer and finally picked what we picked something. Drum roll please . . . .

2011 Hyundai Sonata

After everything we went through and test driving 10 cars, we picked this at the last minute. The reason for this change was that I had talked to my Wife's Dad and he suggested this He reads car mags all the time and noted the the critics are raving about it. They actually let me drive it for home and to return after work the next day (thanks to Justin Baker at Massey Hyundai in Hagerstown). It was a cool ride and not bad for a Sedan as I need a more family car than my olde 2000 Mercury Cougar.

Now for the fun part, I want to make it a Itasha Car and my wife is backing me 100%. Sometimes, she really does love me!

I am planning to go totally Gurren Lagann it out with Yoko as my main babe. To give you an idea, I made some pictures up with Photoshop using the actual car and color. My wife is already saying I need to more to it, so the design phase will take some time.

Even in a draft phase right now, the back window is a go once I can find a price. The background will be the same color as the car with the Team Gurren logo in the center. I plan to knock out the eyes and nose so they are clear.

Here are the shots I came up with for the ideas so far:




I will update once she is started and I have something to show ya.

Anyone got some suggestions??

Tsubasa - Reservoir Chronicle: Ashura-o

The King of Shura Country, Ashura-o is in constant war with the Yasha clan over the possession of a mysterious castle said to fulfill its master’s every wish. It was later revealed that Ashura-o was in love with Yasha-o and Ashura-o wished to resurrect him from the dead. He died in the castle as it crumbled around him unable to fulfill his wish. However, what the castle could not do, Yuuko was able to grant; she made Ashura-o and Yasha-o gods to their clans, allowing them to be together.

Beautiful cosplay by ~Syszeii! It’s pretty embarrassing that I made a mistake with which Ashura-o this was. It’s a good thing St. Arcana, Syaza, Meg, and Rae made the effort to correct me and gave me more information about this Ashura. Thanks again to Tori for sending this in!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

We wish everyone a Happy & Healthy Holiday Season!

We actually celebrate Yule which is on the Winter Solstice and had a blast opening the gifts. My son got something from Japan as he is always upset that I only get something. He got a Dialga Mega Block figure.I am not sure what's up with him, but he didn't smile for the camera. I guess he wanted to get back to the unwrapping and more presents.


It took him a couple days to put together as he was building it after school. Have to say they are not as sturdy as Lego's, but that didn't matter to him. He was so proud that he got it all together, but I wondered why on little blue piece was left over??


As for me, well I did take a picture of my stuff, but somehow lost the pictures while I was reviewing them. If I had a picture, this is what you would of seen:

• Apple Creative Illustration Volume 4 book
  
• Girl, Illustrated: Japanese Manga, Anime and Video Game Characters book
  
• Afterglow Wii Remote & Nunchuk Game Controller (Blue Lighted - so cool)
• Baltimore Raven's Shirt
• Foxs Sports NFL Robot for Baltimore Ravens

That's it for me, have to get ready and Drive down to visit my Mom and Brother's Family to exchange gifts today. For all those traveling like us, stay safe out there.

Here is hoping that you get everything you wished for and more :)

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin and Len 03

As the song, Himitsu ~Kuro no Chikai~, goes:

There was a fallen, featherless angel

And the only one who offered help was the Devil

Who would have known that the vow she had made

Would make everything she had loved blur and fade away?

Cosplayer Noah is the angelic Kagamine Rin and Major Edward Elric is Kagamine Len! I really love how Rin’s wings came out. Thanks to Mika for sending this! Merry Christmas everyone!

Hakuoki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~: Okita Souji

Despite suffering from tuberculosis, Okita Souji is a brilliant swordsman and Captain of the First Division. He was later given a bottle of Ochimizu in order to “cure” his illness. Although he became a Rasetsu, the Shinsengumi discovered that he had one weakness, Souji could only heal at human speed when he was injured by silver weapons.

Beautifully portrayed Souji by Deviant Artist Lirlys! I really love the setting for this cosplay, and her boots are simply gorgeous. Thanks to Lady Audrey for the contribution and ~yaci-chan for the awesome photography!

Angel Beats!: Nakamura Yuri 03

Highly skilled with guns and hand-to-hand combat, Yurippe has been seen carrying a silver Beretta 92, TDI Vector, CheyTac Intervention, and M4 carbine with a drum magazine. She is an effective leader with a determined personality, making good decisions with SSS’ operations. She later regrets fighting with student council president, Tachibana Kanade, because she felt she could have been great friends with her.

Expert cosplayer Ayano Yuura makes an excellent Yurippe! It appears this anime is quite popular despite earlier criticisms regarding the animation quality. Thanks to Visa for sending this!

K-On!: Hirasawa Yui 03

The clumsy, lead vocalist of the light music club, Yui is easily distracted by trivialities especially when it comes to cute and adorable things. She does not get good grades in school, but is able to achieve astounding results when coached properly. She also has a huge liking for any kind of food and never gains weight, much to the envy of Mugi, Mio, and Sawako.

Mangaka Shinjo Mayu is the cosplayer behind this adorable Yui! And according to Pinch, the contributor, Mayu-tan is actually 37-years-young in this photo! I bet a lot of girls are jealous now. Thanks again, Pinch!

Chrome has been shown using two of Mokuro’s six skills: creating illusions and summoning beasts to kill the enemy. She was named the holder of the Mist Ring, battling Mammon in the Vongola Tournament. When she was overwhelmed by Mammon’s powers, however, Mukuro took control and defeated him.

Beautiful cosplay! She looks just like Chrome with that kind of pose. Thanks to Millie for sending this!

Anime Hair Color Poll & Quiz

It has been a while since the poll ended and I should of gotten this up a while ago. I have to admit though that I screwed up the survey as I forgot a color. It seems that a large amount of my friends gave me grief (well deserved though) about not having White or Silver listed.

With that said, even though Black seems to be the winner, I will have to give it to White/Silver as I got many a "hate" mail on this. I had a grand total of 40 votes for this poll which was a nice number.

Lets take a more "colorful" look at the winners and the characters that I picked that have them.

Silver / White ( Unofficial Winner with ?? counts )



Black ( 9 votes )













Blue ( 7 votes )













Purple ( 5 votes )













Green ( 4 votes )












Yellow ( 3 votes )













5 way tie with 2 votes each: Red - Orange - Magenta - Pink - Light Blue

2 way tie with 1 vote each: Brown - Rainbow

To see what Anime Hair Color you would have, check out this fun Quiz to see over at Otaku.com. As for me, well, I am kind of not surprised:

Should I get a 2010 Nissan Altima or a 2010 Kia Optima?
