Kyonko Itasha

Kyonko Itasha

This itasha, spotted parked in Akihabara, sports an interesting motif, incorporating as it does Kyonko, the long suffering gender swapped companion of Haruhi. Feminised Koizumi also makes an appearance.

Akiba Cat Swarm

Akiba Cat Swarm - Cats perch atop Akiba signboard

Pilgrims to Akihabara are delighted by the fact that curious sign board sleeping cat, of no small fame, has suddenly gained comrades, now bringing the number of perching neko to three. Swarms of onlookers have increased correspondingly, now forming a considerable throng.

Just what is it they find so appealing about sleeping in such a spot?

Touhou Itasha

Touhou Itasha in Akihabara

Itasha fans seem to concentrate on bishoujo games and majokko anime, so seeing this Touhou itasha on the streets of Akihabara is something of an unusual sight. Nicely done, too.

Make Your Own Figures From 3DCG Models

Doujin Figures are born: Tsukulus offers anime style figures from 3DCG models, printed on a ZPrinter; also Nezumi-tan

Finally, this technology is applied to the world of anime figures: doujin figures are born. You may be familiar with the rapidly developing technologies of personal fabrication, where “3D printing” allows objects to be cheaply fabricated from 3D models created on computer. You may also be familiar with the intriguing and highly innovative company, FigurePrints, offering 3D prints of your World of Warcraft characters (though with a huge waiting list) – I must admit it occurred to me on seeing those that they would make a essential addition to the world of anime figurines, and it seems that this development has finally taken place, provided by Tsukulus.

Idols on Sale – $100 a Kiss

Inran

Idols, particularly those of an aspiring or hard up bent, are not exactly known for their reticence in ensuring their paying customers get due incentive to keep paying; so it is with little surprise that we read of idols virtually prostituting themselves for a song…

The Refreshing Taste of School Mizugi

Japanese girls tastefully sporting uniform issue school swimsuits, school mizugi or sukumizu, chiefly in a wide range of navy blue and black. Some of them are wet and shiny. It might be a stretch to call many of them actual schoolgirls. 日本人のスクール水着・スク水を着ておる美少女画像ギャラリー。濡れておるのもおります。

Unfortunately, not the pool water squeezed from delicious schoolgirl swimwear, but a close second (?): two new drinks promise to capture the taste of Akiba, with one being the maid themed “Pure Akiba Style Beer” (actually not beer) and the other “The Refreshing Taste of Akiba: Sukumizu” (flavour: “Everlasting Summer”, that is, pineapple flavour). All very Akiba so far.

Thighs of Fuuka Provoke Sellout

The latest edition of 新生電撃大王 / Shinsei Dengeki Daioh magazine has apparently provoked something of an availability crisis with the prominently displayed thighs of Fuuka – the shelves are as bare as her fine thighs, and a restock is apparently in order.

The latest edition of 新生電撃大王 / Shinsei Dengeki Daioh magazine has apparently provoked something of an availability crisis with the prominently displayed thighs of Fuuka – the shelves are as bare as her fine thighs, and a restock is apparently in order.

Of course, we might also be led to think less charitably that it was the enormous thickness of the tome, or it being packed with such notable artists as Naruko Hanaharu, rather than the presence of such a notable Yotsuba&! character which prompted the brisk sales… Via AkibaBlog.
