Umi Kani as Momohime

While I was browsing the cool cosplays done by countless cosplayers from all the over the globe, I stumbled upon this kawaii girl from Chile, her name is Katherine Ramos (aka Umi Kani). She has done a lot of cosplays for a variety of characters, and all of them are just perfect. Below are some of her amazing work.

1/48 Mega Size Model Gundam RX-78-2

by Kal on October 30, 2011

1/48 Mega Gundam

I bought this huge version of the classic Gundam RX-78-2 about 5 months ago, and as soon as I got it I immediately built it. It is a 1/48 scale model, which stands 37.5cm (almost 15 inches) tall once it’s assembled. Don’t be intimidated by its size, it’s an easy kit to build, it’s as easy as building an HG model kit, or even easier.

If you’re following me on Instagram then you’d notice few photos of the building process.

I thought it’s an easy task to photoshoot this monster, but boy I was so wrong, you really need a bigger space or a bigger mini-studio to take neat photos of the enormous finished scale.

Black Rock Shooter Anime PV Streamed

by Kal on October 28, 2011

Black Rock Shooter anime

The first official Promotional Video of the upcoming Black★Rock Shooter anime was streamed yesterday besides the TV commercial which was streamed back in August announcing the project. The series will consist of 8 episodes and will be aired on January 2012.

Although I can’t make up my mind either I like it or not but one thing I know that I hate using way too much CG in animes, but things look all right so far for the BRS anime, so let’s hope it won’t be a disappointing project.
