So much Japan on Kyushu's south shore. And reminds me so much of the shortfilm "miyako".

Airline and hotel reservations weren't odd enough capsule loads?

This is just so very neat.

Miyazaki fans in the US will likely squee a lot.

That's one busy cat, with two big jobs.

Just a day at the Guild, really.

That's good armor, with much of it made by a good armorer, but much of it is very European, especially the helms. And that one shot of leg armor in closeup? Excellent! I'm assuming it's made of steel rather than cosplay trickery -- I've seen some of that that was almighty convincing also. The smoothness could go either way, but the close-ups strongly suggest metal of the proper thickness for combat.

Schoolbag recycling? Now there is a really neat idea.

All the Eevee are belong in neon.

Glowsticks aren't just for swinging around at concerts. Here is another excuse for having one or two dangling on a chain.

Plenty squee in this. Real drawings, not photos or raytracings.

And a way to make one's own. Might be worth a squee.

Here's to the hope that the hype is not heaped.

It's interesting, but following a few links, it seems they plan to produce Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon Cheesecake. (Read further down in the linked article.) Japan being Japan, can Tuxedo Kamen beefcake be far behind?

My mind just went to a *scary* place...
