Anime Expo 2011 Photos

Anime Expo 2011 Guest of Honor: the beautiful Maon Kurosaki
During Anime Expo I wear two hats, the first is being on the Board of Directors for the non-profit parent company behind Anime Expo. The second hat I wear is between Board duties, and that is a photographer. On my free time I took over 3,000 pictures, in which many of them are full blown photo shoots.

Here are the links to a small amount of photos I have taken during Anime Expo, I hope you enjoy it. Like most of my other photobucket folders, they will be deleted after some time.


Enjoy!

Manga Review: Okusama ga Seito Kaichou

Rin Misumi and Ui Wakana, the two main girls of Okusama ga Seito Kaichou Okusama ga Seito Kaichou Original Manga by: Yumi Nakata Japanese name: おくさまが生徒会長！ English Translation: My Wife is the Student Council President 13 Volumes (Not Licensed in North America) Original Run 2012 – 2018  What happens if one of the most beautiful and charismatic girls in the school turns out to be a childhood friend and fiancé? That equally improbable and impossible scenario is the basis for the long-running ecchi manga Okusama ga Seito Kaichou. The manga originally released in the monthly shonen anthology Monthly Comic Rex (REXコミックス), and it was such a racy series that it became the first manga in that long-running anthology to get censored magazine spreads. The manga would produce two seasons of anime and become the highest-selling manga ever for Yumi Nakata, the manga artist, and writer. This manga would have extraordinarily strong highs and strong lows. Depending on who you like among the two main

Anime Review: Okusama ga Seito Kaichou

Okusama ga Seito Kaichou Original Manga by: Yumi Nakata Anime Studio: Dream Creation Japanese name: おくさまが生徒会長！ English Translation: My Wife is the Student Council President The two rivals Ui and Rin Inspiration can come from some very interesting places. For Yumi Nakata, a former hentai artist, she looked at an old hentai manga she made many years ago and remade it for a shonen crowd. That is the origin for the manga behind the eight-minute ecchi anime series Okusama ga Seito Kaichou . Before the anime came out, I was a fan of the manga when I first read it in 2013. I was quite curious as to how the anime would adapt the more risqué material from the manga. As a fan of the manga, my feelings are mixed on its anime adaptation. The anime at best is a mediocre adaptation from a source material that is far superior. The premise is simple; Hayato Izumi ran for student council president and lost to a charismatic girl named Ui Wakana. One day after coming home, he finds out that

Manga Review: Saikyou no Kurokishi♂, Sentou Maid♀ ni Tenshoku shimashita

Image
Here is the main character, Maria, looking cute and cool Saikyou no Kurokishi♂, Sentou Maid♀ ni Tenshoku shimashita Manga Adaptation by: Kazahana Chiruwo Original Writer: Momokado Isshin Japanese name: 最強の黒騎士♂、戦闘メイド♀に転職しました English Translation: From the Strongest Dark Knight ♂, Changed Job into Combat Maid ♀ 6 Volumes, Ongoing (Not Licensed in North America) Original Run 2018 – Current You do not get second chances in life. The series Saikyou no Kurokishi♂, Sentou Maid♀ ni Tenshoku shimashita (which I will shorten to Saikyou no Kurokishi in future references) is all about second chances. Saikyou no Kurokishi started as a web novel by Kazahana Chiruwo that got popular enough to have a Light Novel adaptation. The light novels got popular enough to get adapted into an immensely popular manga; hopefully, it will get an anime adaptation soon. This manga is much better than it has any right to be. It could have devolved into the standard themes and elements of gender-bending manga, but it

Rhythmic Gymnastics in Anime and Manga

Image
Makie Sasaki from Negima The 2012 Summer Olympics in London will showcase a variety of amazing athletes from a multitude of sports. One of my favorite sports in the Summer Olympics is Rhythmic Gymnastics because of its beauty, grace, and skill. This sport is not a well known sport in the states since artistic gymnastics dominates the headlines. While this sport is not ubiquitous in the United States, it has heavy exposure all over the world, being part of the sport track in many primary schools all over Asia and Europe. Due to its heavy exposure, Rhythmic Gymnastics is seen in a variety of anime and manga. In this article, I will do a short introduction on the sport and give examples of anime and manga that do show rhythmic gymnastics. After this article, I hope that you have a greater understanding of Rhythmic Gymnastics and will be able to spot it in a variety of anime and manga.
