Censorship marketing anime Rosario + Vampire Capu2 continues to experience a plague of bats, and, lately, bears. The brazen and utterly pointless censorship seems rapidly to be eroding the positive reception (such as it was) the series received from fans.

Mio Sakamoto, an underrated Strike Witches character if ever there were one (who could forget naked bathing Mio, or Bikini Mio), gets a splendid rendition in this piece of art, which happens also to be the cover art for the normal edition of the second DVD.
For the normal edition to have a better cover than the special edition, isn’t there some mistake here?

A Strike Witches identity parade, identifying each witch and her height. The heights of the witches included below are not yet known. Those which are given seem rather short…

The last in the epic series (until the maker completes VII at any rate), here you can see even more ecchi mainstream anime; between this and the niche compilations, a probably comprehensively delightful picture of the state of anime seems to have emerged.

Noted artist Tsukasa Bullet (or Tsukasa Jun, associated with Range Murata) has contributed the design to a recent figure which has been attracting much attention; qipao/China dress wearing (and not wearing) character China-san, from the Spirit of Wonder OVA, features some rather striking cast off capabilities.

Former seiyuu Aya Hirano performed live for the first time recently, to a packed venue of some 1200 excited fans, as part of the promotional antics for her new “Namida” single.
However, what may have excited the eager otaku rather more than her singing was her choice of miniskirt, and the subsequent propensity of that skirt to flutter up due to her vigorous gyrations.
Naturally, sports newspaper reporters were on hand to photograph the event in detail… You can see the contents of her skirts below.

The fourth episode of Toradora, caps of which you can see above, continues the tsundere reign of the series, but the usual terrifying observational powers of 2channers have brought to light subtle service – so subtle in fact, that there is some doubt over its existence at all. Others are already suggesting we have our DVD extras right here.

This image provides an interesting comparison between each Strike Witch and her respective seiyuu; what seems immediately apparent is that the seiyuu concerned are a charismatic bunch to say the least, and talented in addition.
So charismatic that we might do well to replicate our Pantsu Witch popularity research (where Francesca is making a spirited attempt to best Sanya)…
