How to get extra votes?

  • Take a photo with the placard, you will get extra 10 votes.
  • Post an article on any site you or your friends have. You will get extra 1 vote for each article. But 10 votes will be given at most, to make the contest absolutely fair, because some participants don’t have any blog or social site at all. If you won’t take the photo with the placard, you can also post more articles to get another extra 10 votes set on the photo. But the site you post should have been operated for some time. A newly registered account or site won’t be accepted. And only 1 vote will be given for articles on the same site.
  • Take a video, make a PPT etc. Once these are posted on a certain site, we can also offer you extra votes.

How to Vote?

After receiving above information provided by you, we will make a post for you on our blog and also send you the link. It’s above the article where everybody can vote for you via Like on Facebook, Twitter and Google, as long as they have an account on any or all of these 3 social sites. And this is the only place where people can vote for you. And only polls gotten here will be effective.

We Will Take a Holiday (Jan. 22 – 28)

Dear cosplay, anime/manga, game, movie fans, huge thanks for close attention for us all the time. Since there will be a festival in our country soon, we will also take a holiday from Jan. 22nd to 28th. So, we will be unable to reply to your questions during this period. But just email us anytime. We will reply to you once coming back from the vacation 😛 😛 :P.

Participants for our Bleach or Axis Powers Hetalia contest, just continue to popularize yourself and also the contest. Once you can let more people know the contest and vote for you, we will offer you extra votes. It won’t be difficult to post something related to the contest on any site you or your friends have, right? Or, take a photo with the placard directly. Certainly, it’s not compulsive, even though we do expect more participants to do these :D. After posting something, just remember to send us the links.

If you are interested in joining in any contest we hold, don’t be hesitant to send us your application form. Due to the coming holiday, we have already postponed both contests to Jan. 30th. We will announce the winners on Jan. 31. So, there will be plenty of time for you to prepare for it!

Neon Genesis Evangelion Store Tokyo-01

After more than a decade of success and countless merchandise released, the popular anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion has finally opened their official merchandise store this 23rd November 2011.

Set in the heart of Harajuku (just a few alley down from the main street) the Evangelion shop is evidently different from the stereotypical ‘Otaku’ store. Instead of rooting it in the Mecca of all things Otaku; Akihabara, they decided to set it up in Harajuku, a place more known for fashion than Anime.

In line with the setting of the story, the store is also designed in a sleek and futuristic manner. Check out the store front! You would never guess it’s an Anime merchandise shop!

Step foot into the first level of the shop and you’ll understand. First level focus on selling stylish fashion wear, ranging from designer watches to jackets and iPhone covers.  Sadly for me, all the stylish wear comes with a heart stopping price tag too.

Walk up a flight of steps that’s designed to look like a LED cyber land and you find the usual Anime merchandises on the second floor.  The first thing to greet you is a wall of original Neon Genesis Evangelion sketches from various artists.

When I was there on a friday afternoon, the 2nd level was fully packed with people despite it being a weekday.

Check out some of the merchandise on sale in the photos below!

COSPLAY: The Series – Glad to Cooperate with You

Get Your Heart Racing! I was totally impressed since the first glimpse of the Cosplay: The Series. Does their declaration also touch your heartstrings?

Cosplay: The Series refers to a high-school comedy web series about a cosplay club. Professional cosplayers are busy with making teleplays and holding contests there. Thanks very much, for agreeing with the long-term cooperation with us. It will be our pleasure to sponsor you costumes for the current Fanart Competition and rebroadcasting your episodes. (I do feel interested about the story compiled by Bonni Rambatan :D)

Now, let’s begin with the Ep.01 — Nation’s Pride:

Sometimes, the weirdest kids in school belong to a single club: the cosplay club, Q-Cosushinkai. But today, the club has just received terrible news: they cannot live up to their school’s name of being a “nation’s pride,” and is about to be disbanded, thanks to the provocation of archenemy Sukma…

Cosplay fans, we will continue to update works from COSPLAY: The Series. Just keep attention.
