Gundam 00: GN-001 Gundam Exia

gundam 00 cosplay - gn-001 gundam exiaA Gundam piloted by Setsuna F. Seiei, the GN-001 Gundam Exia is designed for melee combat, with several swords, blades, and arm shields. It was later commented in the series that the Exia is equipped with a solid metal blade in order to have the ability to cut through GN particle fields.

I could continue on with the technicalities, but that would make this review boring and inappropriate compared to how awesome this cosplay is. It must have taken weeks to make this Gundam. Very nicely done!

Bleach: Ulquiorra Schiffer and Tia Halibel

bleach cosplay - ulquiorra schiffer and halibelHalibel serves as the 3rd high-ranking Espada as Ulquiorra serves as the 4th. They are both quiet in nature, preferring to think before they act.

While Ulquiorra's mask can be readily seen, Halibel's mask is covered by her coat and colar. Her mask extends from her nose down to her breasts.

I didn't want to place this cosplay on either of my other 2 blogs because of the amount of skin being exposed. However, Halibel has never been portrayed so accurately, and Ulquiorra rivals the first cosplayer I featured. Excellent job!

D. Gray-man: Lenalee Lee 02

d. gray-man cosplay - lenalee leeWhen she was young, Lenalee’s parents were killed, causing her to see the world very differently. Lenalee went insane when she was separated from her brother, Komui Lee, as she is forced to become an exorcist for having the ability to use Innocence. Her sanity was only restored when Komui became the Chinese Supervisor of the Black Order.

She makes a very cute Lenalee. I haven’t seen this anime yet, but it seems pretty popular with all the cosplays going around. I think I’ll put this on my to-watch list.

D. Gray-man: Allen Walker, the Crowned Clown

d. gray-man cosplay - allen walker, the crowned clown

A young exorcist with a quiet nature, Allen Walker was abandoned by his biological parents due to his paralysis and his supposed deformity of his left arm. It is later found out that he possessed a parasitic-type of anti-akuma weapon whose true form is known as the Crowned Clown.

Allenisya sent in her photos of her cosplays as Allen Walker via Cosplay Holic. This is one of my favorite shots of her as photographed by Hexlord. You may visit her blog in Allenisya’s D.Gray-Life to see how she created her costume and her future cosplay plans!

Thanks for your contribution, Allenisya!

Room of Otakudom

Or is it Otakudoom... Because when earthquake hits... it'll be the doom of an otaku! If he's sleeping on the bed that is. This is what has been mentioned many times on DannyChoo.com but has never been seen... Until now! Come and take a tour of this shameful legendarily messy room.


As you open the door you are greeted by stacks and stacks of manga. You can see the carpet, or the lack of because of how much stuff is on top of it. To the left of it are boxes of figures. This carpeted path has been preserved so that one would be able to reach the bathroom where the light is shining through and the mini drawer for clothes where you see a LOT of Ayanami Rei figures.

Behind the door is another stack of manga. It's been kept small because it has toppled and blocked the door before. And Hetare Saber greeting you with her nonchalant eyes.

As you look up, you'll see a huge Ayanami Rei wallscroll and a newly stuck on poster from Megami magazine and see the huge amounts of Ayanami Rei figures with some invaders in the form of Saber Gundam, Lacus Clyne and Lunamaria Hawke.

You turn your head to the right and see the three wallscrolls adorning the walls. Evangelion, Chii from Chobits and .hack//Legend of the Twilight.

You turn your whole body to the right and see the stacks of figure boxes, a shelf that was meant for manga but has been turned to a figure box shelf, a metallic shelf with trading figures and a detolf that's only half filled with unboxed figures (half of it filled with boxed ones).

Then you look down on to the bed and see Goth Loli Ryomou dakimakura and Sakurano Otoha cover. Above them is the Yoko oppai mousepad and Cardcaptor Sakura cushion on the pillow. Besides the pillow to the left and right are plushies from different series.

Then you turn towards the window... bags of comic books are stacked on top of the bed. Clothes that doesn't fit in the drawer are also placed here underneath Saber's lion plushie. Old anime CDs, Komugi Nakahara standee, more figure boxes and stacks of PSP games. The stereo is almost blocked out completely. Some unboxed figures such as the Range Murata PSE series and the "thermometer" Haruhi Suzumiya bunny girl figure. She's a "thermometer" because she changes colour when it's above 15 degree celsius or below. Right now she is brown because it's still cold in spring, but when summer hits, she'll be completely white.

Looking closer to the corner beside the stereo is the mini Asuka shrine and another stack of manga along with stacks of bags of comic books. The huge Grunty sure is cute though.

You clear the bed by folding the dakimakura in half so you can sit down and look to the front where the boxes of figures look wider than you thought when you entered the room. Behind the stack is a shelf filled with mangas to the brim and finally see some Gundams on top of the shelf. The manga towers seem to be leaning...

Beside the manga towers are more figure boxes... You'd think it's hell like this... Well you're right since there is the Hell Girl figure and but also heaven because of the panchira figure of Franco Il Nero.

You stand up and look to the left of the bed... you can see that its IMPOSSIBLE to reach the closet because of the junk blocking the way. There used to be a path, but that has been long blocked by more figures.

You look up to the shelf and you realize you see MORE stacks of manga holding up the Yuiko from Little Busters figure. The figma boxes provide some colour...

Then you see this strange bag with Club Monaco on it... Fellow blogger RadiantDreamer might remember what it is... He sold a figure and puts it in this bag before he handed it to the purchaser. Then you see more Gundams on top of the Detolf.

You look closer to the Detolf and finally see the Haruhi figures that are displayed there. 2 Freeing Bunnies... no wonder there aren't too many figures inside it. Dust can be hard to clean off from those fishnet stockings.


This is the end of the tour of this room... the following are rooms around the house.


This Darth Vader standee was a legacy from the old room. It's been moved to another less cluttered location.

Polystone figure that was too dangerous to place in the cluttered room, you know her from the Nadesico movie, Hoshino Ruri, 16 years old.

Downstairs is a shelf full of anime DVDs along with miscellaneous things that had no other place to go...

To the right of the first DVD shelf is another DVD shelf, also filled to the brim. You can see the Kemeko & MM figure boxes, waiting for photo opportunity or a place for them to be displayed.

The main computer spot. It's not much of a desk... the monitor is sitting on top of a box and using a stool to sit on. Another DVD shelf holds the PS3 & Wii games along with more DVDs.

And finally the most recently built shelf already full with more DVDs, top to bottom. Which brings us to the end of this tour. We hope you enjoy the tour and perhaps you may understand how Otakudom can be dangerous to one's health and financial situation.

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin

vocaloid 2 cosplay - kagamine rin by kipi

The second installment from Vocaloid 2, Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len are 2 voice synthesizers packaged into one. According to their official blog, Rin and Len are not siblings, but mirrors of one another. In fact, the family name is comprised of "kagami" meaning "mirror" and "ne" meaning "sound". Rin and Len is also a pun for Left and Right.

Kipi makes an awesome Rin. I wonder who'd be a fitting Len for her?
