Cosplay Project: Sengoku Basara

I’ll start with the basics.

Sengoku Basara is a series of games much like Dynasty Warriors.  You are a singular badass who fights the entire population of a country who’s sole existence in life is to get slaughtered by you.  Here is the opening for the latest game.

In addition Basara was made into a 2 season anime composing of 12 episodes.  This roughly follows the story of a few characters looking to take down a few other characters who are being a bunch of jerks.  Opening for the anime pretty much gives you the idea.

For those of you watching, have watched or are thinking of watching the anime.  It is at the same time the manliest and the gayest anime ever.  Inuyasha and kagome can only wish to have the passion of Sanada Yukimura and Takeda Shingen

Anime LA: Musings as I get ready to leave.

Writer is not amused... wait, yes he isWhile it is a personal pet peeve of mine to acknowledge day 0 as a part of the convention, I do admit that useful things do happen. Badge pick up, hotel check in, some really lazy cosplay… But I’m not in LA yet so I’m getting ahead of myself.

What I’m currently writing about is basically my preparation for Anime LA.  I wouldn’t say that ‘anticipation’ is the right word.  I mean, I have heard some pretty impressive things about this convention.  Almost on par with the level of awesome with other successful cons (Sakura con and PAX prime come to mind… interesting how both of those are in Seattle)

And I won’t lie… this kind of worries me.
