Haruhi & co. convincingly illustrated in swimwear, with musical backing. In this case, who cares about the MAD? I’m sure you just want the Tsuruya-san BMP. Rest of the SOS-dan images below. Also the video.

Whether bushi or shinobi, or just opportunistically armed with the best blades history has to offer, this gallery features plenty of images of girls armed Japanese style, with a variety of katana, daitou, tantou, kunai, etc. featuring heavily. Some very tasteful kimono and other items of Japanese apparel also feature.
There are also plenty of appealing young ladies ready to do battle with supernatural evil illustrated in the various miko galleries, and of course there is the other weapon gallery featuring western armaments.

Girls ready for action – splendid images of 2D girls wielding western weaponry (whether guns or sword) abound in this fine gallery. See also the gallery of girls equipped for battle in Japanese fashion.

Deceased illustrator 堀部秀郎 / Hiderou Horibe has been the subject of some unfortunate news, with his works being liberally plagiarised by Dengeki, who eventually apologised, but it is perhaps better we remember him as a talented illustrator whose promising career was cut short by illness, at the age of only 36. You can also see a cache of his homepage through the years.
A topical gallery for those curious about his work, or simply eager to see some talented and tasteful illustrations, or more carnal CG; below is “Yours”. Both his two artbooks are still available; the other is “Colors“. Below the artbook are some of his CG from 鬼作 / Kisaku, a 2001 eroge by Elf.

A simple gallery of rather tasteful yuri (lesbian) moe images, tending towards the romantic rather than the prurient, seized from the Vippers. Relaxing, if at times almost soporifically so.

With the excruciating heat of the Japanese summer, comes the need for ladies attire which can cope with the heat, and is alluring to boot. A variety of such clothing springs to mind (notably the tank top), and the Vippers are obliging enough in providing such images.
Here such apparel is modelled by a variety of young Japanese ladies, many idols by the look of them, and all of them could not by any standards be considered under-endowed.

Lucky Star and the esoteric arts of divination collide in this splendid loose recreation of the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck. Only the Major Arcana are as yet completed; it looks to be a little too difficult to adapt a series like Lucky Star to this end (not enough characters or themes), but it has been done with other series. Shades of Lucky Star Shinto.

The news that xxxHolic is to have its new anime (OAD) bundled with the 14th volume of the manga, due Jan. 16th, has been quickly followed by news that ツバサ / Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle is also set to get an anime DVD attached to the 26th volume of the manga, due Febuary.
Animation is set to be undertaken by Production IG; they both look to be 25 minute single episodes.

On spying this selection of outstanding images gathered up by the hands of the Vippers, I must admit, I was at a loss – 佐々木 / Sasaki? A Haruhi character? And a boku-shoujo? From the novels I presumed – some research reveals her to be a Haruhi rival character, and a superior one at that.
In this gallery you can see more of her, and her alt-SOS-dan (周防九 / Kuyou Suou, with the long black hair, is in particular shaping up as the new Nagato it would seem), so please do convert.

Something of a Haruhi gallery before a flood of Nagato images commences; hopefully you will be able to find something new in here, even if you have been following the never ending stream of Haruhi art. I think I prefer her depicted with the rest of the SOS-dan, although this could just be because of some of the extreme quality visible in many of those images for some reason.

This gallery is devoted to a pair of useless Haruhi minor characters you may understandably have forgotten about, that is, Asahina Mikuru (Haruhi cosraep material) and Ryouko Asakura (Nagato’s whipping girl). Enjoy.

This Haruhi gallery is a compilation of the finest images of the entire SOS-dan, as opposed to its individual constituent members, I could lay hands on. Something for everyone here, I’d wager.
