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

Now that i have spammed you with enough links lets get on to the good stuff.

When we went down to Anime LA, we met this pretty cool guy named Masa.  Not only was he a good guy but he had a pretty good costume… perhaps you’ve seen it.

yes, he uses 6 swords at the same time. its kinda badass

From here the idea was born.  WE AT SHONEN VEGAS ASPIRE TO BE BAD ASS! In addition, we are getting a help from official friend of SV Khamomeal Tea.  She’s done some cosplay with us before.  See if you can guess who will be cosplaying what at FANIME
