The fantastic Banzai Effect has provided some first class coverage of the AFA ’09 Regional Cosplay Championship. There’s a great collection of photographs of some pretty impressive costumes. To illustrate what I mean here are two Philippines ladies; Alodia and Ashley in Witchblade inspired costumes.

People against dirty – we’re shiny suds
I like good adverts almost as much as I dislike bad ads. I may work in marketing but I don’t work in TV marketing and so I’m still free to say “cool” without any bias. “Cool!” This shiny suds ad is a must view for almost everyone and there’s People Against Dirty for any American […]
Will Matt Smith’s Womb be out before the new Doctor Who?
Steven Moffat‘s brave choice as the 11th Doctor, 27 year old Matt Smith, will feature alongside Eva Green in Benedek Fliegauf‘s movie Womb. Smith plays Thomas – alongside Eva’s Rebecca – in a near future movie which the two childhood sweethearts reconnect and begin a passionate love affair. The world comes crashing down when Thomas […]
Mini-Skirt Space Pirates
What’s there not to like about that name, huh? Back in March Animenation Blog had the news that Sasamoto Yuuichi’s Mini-skirt Space Pirates would be adapted from novel into anime. Today Saiani (via Anime News Network) help us date it – 2011 and a television run. Unless there’s some trustworthy fan subs it may be […]
Funimation posts odd NekoCon video
Worried you were missing out by missing NekoCon? Fear not. Funimation – the people responsible for so much of the anime I watch (don’t forget the UK guys, don’t forget) have shared a video they made of NekoCon. It looks like every other con I’ve been too. A little bit chaos, empty vending machines, interesting […]
New Doctor Who trailer: Waters of Mars
I’m in Norway today and was in Sweden yesteday. That’s why I nearly missed this new, 3 minutes long, trailer from the second last David T Doctor Who. This looks almost like something from the mind of Steven Moffatt but I suppose it’s just RTD proving to us he can do spooky too. Mind you; […]
Laugh with Princess Robot Bubblegum
I’m clearly an anime fan and yet I found the Princess Robot Bubblegum spoof funny. It’s here to promote the must-be-a-hit-or-rockstar-dies game Grand Theft Auto but its heavily woven up with Microsoft – sorry everyone else. I’d also note that Princess Robot Bubblegum spoof the genre so well that it could only have been put […]
Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture played by 1000 mobiles and 2000 text alerts
This is an ad for Vodafone New Zealand. It features 1000 mobile phones with their ring tunes carefully selected and synchronised to play the Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture. Of course; it would equally be possible to take a single mobile with an MP3 ringtone of the 1812 overture but that wouldn’t be so cool.
Leo Burnett is the devil
Leo Burnett is an advertising agency named after their founder Leo Burnett. Burnett, once named in the 100 most influential people in the 20th century by Time magazine, was the advertising guru who invented such powerful icons as Tony the Tiger, Pillsbury Doughboy and the Jolly Green Giant. Leo Burnett was years ahead of this […]
Phones4u ad pokes fun at LARPers, rips off Boxwars?
A recent TV ad from Phones4U suggests that people who dress up in homemade armour and whack each other with cardboard axes wouldn’t have enough friends to enjoy the popular tariffs. Does it? Kind of. The two combatants certainly aren’t traditional LARPers and resemble box carts more than anything else. Comments on one YouTube upload […]
