Hetalia: Axis Powers: America

Energetic and headstrong, America was raised by England who later fights for his own independence. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces but his ideas for solving international problems are often absurd. Unfortunately, America also tends to be oblivious to the opinion of others.

Beautiful cosplay! I love the simple yet elegant pose the cosplayer’s done with the American flag around her. Thanks to T.J. for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to ~Lsine for finding my blog and letting me know this is her cosplay!

Site Update & Other Crazy Shit

Some quick updates and then back to the show:

1. Did some design changes using the new Template Designer. Had to tweak it a bit to give it a personal flavor. Kept with the dark theme as it is more my tastes anyway.

2. Finally got finished with getting everyone over to my Blog Rolls -n- Links page. I created my last several banner links for everyone and now it is up and fully operational. If you do not see your site, drop me a line to do a link exchange.

3. My son tried to burn down the kitchen yesterday morning. He did his normal microwaving of a Sausage wrapped in Pancake batter on a stick. Except this time he placed it in for some unknown large number of minutes. After I did not hear it go off (getting dressed myself), I asked him to check on it and all I heard was "DAD!". I can running to see the kitchen filled with smoke. Needless to say all the windows were opened to ventilate and pulled down the smoke alarms as not to scare the hell out of the neighbors.

Now our apartment now smells like someone was having an open fire cookout in it. As for the food he made - lets just say it was charcoaled. This was all due to the fact that his face was glued to the morning cartoon and not on what he should of been watching.

As punishment, my wife took a picture of him sleeping last night on her iPhone. He had crashed in our bed as he does each night until we head for bed. I have no idea how in the hell he could sleep like this, but he was sound asleep.

Granado Espada: Leticia

Very little is known about the Premium Item Merchant, Leticia, but players of Granado Espada know her very well. She sells in-game items that cost real money, so you can bet players think about her all the time, especially when they’re deciding whether or not to make a purchase.

I think it would be safe to say she’s from a family of merchants though? Or a family who is into the business.

Cute cosplay! I love her dress, but I wonder what she’s looking at? Thanks to Renae for sending this in!

Shonen Jump and the Economy

As most of you know, I got my son a subscription to Shonen Jump Magazine. It was much cheaper this way and he is always excited to get it in the mail.

I have been noticing however that they seem to running a bit of a roller coaster of pages. I know that it was a bit light this month, but I was shocked to see it at only 250+ pages. With that low number, I decided to look at the other issues page counts for this year.

Jan 2010 ~ 408 pages < love this number

Feb 2010 ~ 384 pages < dropped

Mar 2010 ~ 392 pages < back up

Apr 2010 ~ 328 pages < big drop

May 2010 ~ 368 pages < back up

Jun 2010 ~ 336 pages < dropped

Jul 2010 ~ 312 pages < dropped again

Aug 2010 ~ 250+ pages < HUGE drop and like the "+" helps anything

As you can see we have lost about 158 pages of Shonen Jump since the start of the year. Now my son does not count the pages, but does read the manga inside. I feel he is being cheated a bit on this, but he is just happy to have it and any card that is included in the mag.Though he does want to see Yu-Gi-OH! back in the story lineups

I hope this is not the future of the magazine as I also like reading it as well and catching up on Naruto, Luffy and Ichigo. I don't really care for Ultimo that much - sorry Stan :(

I am not sure if this is a temporary thing with them or permanent. I just hope they get back in the swing of things and offer some more manga per issue. Thanks to them introducing me to Bakuman, I might be picking this series up.

Have you seen any other mags dropping pages like this in there issues like Yen Plus?

If you are interested in getting a subscription yourself (which I still recommend), check out the link to your left. It is a great way to get your kids to read and stop playing their video games :)

smelly flower teaser

Here's a teaser from the photoshoot for my Xianghua/Soul Calibur cosplay today!

Gyakuten Saiban: Yahari Masahi

Well-known for his unbelievable antics in school, Larry Butz is a childhood friend of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth. He is a flight-of-fancy character and is quite prone to yelling fits. He’s had several jobs and several girlfriends over the years, but can never seem to keep either one for a long period of time.

Nevertheless, he remains happy with his life, despite finding himself caught between court cases. As the saying goes: “When something smells, it’s usually the Butz.”

Awesome cosplay! It’s too bad the photo is a little blurry, but the cosplayer really got the character down! I wonder if there are any other characters from the series who cosplayed with him? Thanks to Rue for sending this in!

Kingdom Hearts II: Rikku

A miniature version of her original Final Fantasy X-2 design, Rikku appears in Kingdom Hearts II as a little fairy. She retains most her characteristics in the new game; ditzy, good-natured, and a treasure fanatic like her teammates. Her attire is slightly modified, but retains its FF X-2 feel.

So cute! If only there was a bigger photo of this available. Thanks to Hanna for sending this in!

June Haul

I wanted to get this up before the month ends. I had gotten the green light to order some stuff from HLJ and went for it. I got a mail slip last Friday and was able to pick them up on Saturday. I almost didn't get them because my wife told me the Post Office opened up at 11am. Luckily I checked out the slip and saw they CLOSED at 11am - I think she was trying to sabotage me in waiting another week.

What's in the boxes?

I actually order some things for my son as well, but he has not seen them yet. I know he will freak out at the Lego's Pokemon I got him as well as the Gundam Collection. I have been busy taking pictures and assembling these. I have to say the only disappointment was with the Gundam Fix # 0035. One of the shoulder joints was cracked. I was able to fix it, but the damn arm kept falling off anyway at times.

Ta Da

Here is what is in the shot:

• Mega Bloks Chara Blok Dialga Set
• Gundam Fix Figuration Shin #0035 - Musha Gundam
  
• Gundam Collection DX #8: 1 Box (9pcs)
• Gothic Ymir PVC
• Perfect Piece Ita-chikoma
  

Guilty Gear XX: Bridget 04

When Bridget was still a bounty hunter, Dizzy was one of his targets but defeating her left him unsatisfied. As such, he continued his journey and went after May, a member of the Jellyfish Pirates. Only then did he feel that he had proven his masculinity, and soon after, abandoned his life as a bounty hunter. He made amends with May and later befriended the Jellyfish Pirates.

Even without the white or blonde hair, she still makes a cute Bridget! Reminds me of the chibi cosplayer I posted back in 2009. Thanks to Fumiki for sending this in!
