Type Moon Rough Sketch Fetches $4500

Type Moon Rough Sketch Fetches $4500

Few would deny an original work by Type Moon’s top illustrator 武内崇 / Takashi Takeuchi, of Fate/stay night and Tsukihime fame, to be one capable of commanding a high price, and worth it, but a recent auction in which a single page from a sketchbook, featuring but one rather rough pencil illustration, certainly turned heads when the auction concluded at an impressive ¥456,000.

  • It seems the sketch was done "live" at the event, so the creator could confirm it was made. Nobody would buy it otherwise.... More

Soul Calibur Cosplay Chaos

Soul Calibur Cosplay Chaos

The earlier exposé on the possibilities inherent in the SC IV character creation engine seems to have been the tip of the iceberg. Some interesting creations await, as well as some frankly haunting ones… Consider Donald/Ronald versus Hatsune Miku above your warning.

3D Custom Cake Tops Amazon

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

The top selling eroge listed on Amazon.co.jp of late is none other than comprehensive delicious cake simulator 3D Custom Girl; it even beat out Little Busters! Ecstacy for the top spot, an impressive feat. The prospect of making your own little friend appears to trump even Kudo’s not inconsiderable charms.

Might this sudden, dramatic improvement in sales have something to do with the drastic enhancements made to the girl creation capabilities of the game in the latest patch? It appears less than unthinkable…

Ore-teki.

Touhou Takeover

Touhou Takeover

Recent findings indicate that at current rates of growth, Touhou related doujin circles could within several years cause Comiket to be rebranded Touhouket, and force the event to move to an even larger venue than the Big Sight; that is, if Reitaisai doesn’t overshadow or absorb the event entirely.

The data is unambiguous:

Idol Master Seiyuu’s Porn Star Past

A seiyuu and a porn star? 落合祐里香 / Ochiai Yurika (or Yurishii/Yurisyi), noted for voicing Hagiwara Yukiho of Idol Master, and Yuzuhara Konomi of eroge ToHeart

A seiyuu and a porn star? 落合祐里香 / Ochiai Yurika (or Yurishii/Yurisyi), noted for voicing Yukiho Hagiwara of Idol Master (above), and Konomi Yuzuhara of eroge ToHeart, has a career which doesn’t stop at the normal boundaries of seiyuu idol, it would seem – all the evidence seems to suggest she had an active career as adult model prior to rising to fame as a seiyuu.

Of course, you can see for yourself the evidence below.

Soul Calibur Cosplay

Soul Calibur Cosplay

Miku Miku Calibur? It appears the recently released Soul Calibur IV has a vastly improved character creation and clothing engine, and not just in terms of the underwear visible when you tear off your opponent’s clothing.

Enthusiastic fans have been quick to seize upon this to thrust their favourite characters into the fray, so here are a few of their more successful efforts. Above is a rather finely executed Kenshin, of Rurouni Kenshin, but the obligatory Hatsune Miku is included below.

Nintendo Heads League to Crush Modchips

Nintendo Heads League to Crush Modchips

Nintendo have taken umbrage at the distribution of backup devices aimed at their DS handheld, and have, together with a massive alliance of 54 other companies, many of them big players, opted to hound the offending companies out of existence with a lawsuit.

The device they are targeting is the R4 Revolution (actually a flash cartridge), and their strategy is to sue five of the companies involved in the Japanese distribution of the device.
