Going to keep this post short and get right to the good stuff.
I’m sure you have heard us make comments about how Anime LA was made awesome by meeting awesome people. One of those people is Masa, who appropriately cosplayed the character Date Masamune from Basara.

A few pics have been uploaded from Anime LA of Ikuto and Utau Tsukiyomi. Thanks to Khamomeal Tea for making small but necessary fixes to the costume and also for cosplaying Utau Tsukiyomi.

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

OK, this is far from finished, but if you got linked here, then obviously you are either really bored, really curious, or just a sucker for punishment. Any feedback on what you would like to see added, changed, or even removed would help out quite a bit. This is the first time I’m really playing with the WordPress layout so I’m going to be learning as i go along.
Thanks for everyone’s patience.
