Low temperatures seem to have done nothing to cool off the hot cosplay on display at WonFes 2012 Winter, which rivals the event’s figures in quality (at times at least).

Some of the cosplayers and companions on display:

None other than scandal seiyuu Aya Hirano herself has been unseated from her position as most followed seiyuu, with even her fascinating antics not enough to spare her the humiliation of being overtaken by the actor behind one of her on-screen peons. The ranking:

Budding fans of the Vita’s upcoming real-time fairy dating game Ciel nosurge have been aghast to learn that the game is episodic and will take over a year to finish and cost 2-3 times the price of a normal title. According to calculations made by a concerned “game shop employee,” the game may be the most expensive [...]

Pornomonogatari fans have been lamenting the lack of naked massage action in the 6th episode of Nisemonogatari, but even those rare maniacs who concern themselves with story have been complaining that things are barely moving – although everyone can at least appreciate the strange poses and excessively cute characters on display:

Taiwanese police are said to be livid at the fact top ero-cosplayer Ushijima Iiniku has been bold enough to flash her pantsu in a photo of one of their cars, and said to be considering legal action.

Police have busted a naked policeman found tied up on stage in a BDSM sex club, charging him with public indecency – apparently on the grounds that the club was not a properly lisensed brothel.

Top producer of unplayably buggy and endlessly delayed eroge Overflow has announced that “Shiny Days” will be its “final” work and that it is “not going bankrupt or anything like that!” – and, surprise of surprises, its release will be delayed 2 months as well. As might be expected from Overflow, there is total confusion following their admission [...]

Moeblob fans have been marvelling at the increasingly steamy scenes on show in the K-ON! manga, and not least the undeniable revelation that Ritsu, like Yui and the enormous Mugi , seems to have been doing some growing… The possibilities inherent in “100 mugi” (Manga Time Kirara has made it to 100 issues, no doubt in large part [...]

A technically inclined onanist has apparently developed a piece of software designed to exploit the notoriously advanced capabilities of the USB Onacon , capable of not only measuring speed, insertion time and other vital onanistic statistics, but even of uploading the results to Twitter so fellow onanists can compare their performance… The exchange:

“My onahole arrived so I made some [...]

Mirai Nikki’s 2nd BD has been attracting a great deal of attention for its (quite literally) eye-popping scenes of sexual depravity and grotesque tortures.

London’s newly won position on the K-ON! “seichi” pilgrimage circuit appears to be well in hand – fans of the K-ON! movie are already hunting through its frigid and grimy recesses to find the various locations fictionally graced by their moeblob icons.

The element most anime fans are looking for in the anime they watch may come as a surprise to some, considering its near total absence from so many popular late-night anime titles… The ranking , of “elements you stress in the anime you watch”:
