The Women's Intimate Anime Apparel









apparel is ideal for those who are, of course, into anime, and those who are into role-playing in the bedroom. Another option is to find anime material and make your own pajamas as you'd like them—without being too fetishistic.

When it comes to women's intimate anime apparel, role-playing and fetishism both come up. There are very few simple pajama sets featuring anime characters (in fact, you'd probably have better luck designing and sewing your own!). However, you can find plenty of information about women who dress up as anime characters for sexual purposes or just to have fun and attend conventions.

While simple anime-inspired costumes can be used as intimate apparel in this context, some take the dressing up and role-playing very seriously. Some of the most extravagant costumes come from a subculture that enjoys taking great care in re-inventing themselves in the vein of certain types of characters, anime characters included.

Cosplay

Cosplay is a term that's short for "costume play" and refers quite often to the anime type of costume. The participants choose their own costumes and accessories in an attempt to look like a specific character. From there, they act the part while in costume.

Not only do they act like the character they've chosen, but they sometimes reenact specific scenes. Cosplay costumes are more elaborate than your traditional fetish or roleplaying intimate apparel so they aren't typically ready-made. Instead, the person who intends to wear the costume will often design their own.

In some cases, these costumes are not intended for the bedroom. However, this type of costume or something less extravagant can be used behind closed doors as intimate apparel.

To get an idea of how extensive Cosplay costumes can be, please visit Cosplay's Costumes page.

Costume Sites

Interested in a costume but not interested in working in all of the embellishments yourself? Prefer to just buy a costume rather than create one? No problem. There are several costume sites online that offer anime-inspired themes. Here are a few:

There are quite a few costumes that most ladies might not feel comfortable wearing anywhere but the bedroom! If you didn't find what you were hoping for at any of the above sites, check your local costume shops, especially around Halloween. They're bound to have at least a few anime-inspired costumes; they might just have one of the character you're looking for.

If dressing up like an anime character isn't your thing but you are a fan of the genre, you can still create your own anime-inspired pajamas. They can be as sexy as you like, all you need is to be handy with a sewing machine and able to follow a pattern. Check out your local sewing store to choose a pattern. From there, you can choose anime material to use.

While you can find any pattern you like in your favorite craft or sewing store, you may have trouble finding anime fabric to work with. Try:

  • J & O Fabrics for their Anime Girls fabric.
  • eBay occasionally has anime fabric you can purchase.

Not exactly handy enough with a needle and thread to create your own boudoir anime apparel? That's okay. You can still flaunt your love for anime by taking your favorite skimpy cami and ironing on an anime character. Try checking eBay for iron-ons, too. You can also look on Etsy.

The Bottom Line

You can enjoy women's intimate anime apparel whether you're into role-playing or just want something a little spicier than an anime t-shirt to show off your interest in the genre. While it's arguably easier to find the costumes designed for role-play and fetishes, with a little creativity, you can come up with something simpler and more comfortable. There's an anime option out there for everyone.

Scooby doo





Here's the easiest way to comprehend the longevity of Scooby-Doo: Casey Kasem has been doing the voice of Shaggy (Norville Rogers, if you insist on his given name) for longer than he hosted his weekly Top 40 radio show. He started voicing Shaggy in 1969, the year before American Top 40 debuted, and he's still got the part, on television in the WB's Saturday-morning cartoon, What's New Scooby-Doo?, and in the direct-to-video movies the franchise keeps churning out.

Though it's hard to believe—and for animation purists, practically impossible to stomach—Scooby-Doo is the most enduringly popular cartoon in TV history. Starting with the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, the show, in various permutations, was produced for 17 years (and, with its latest incarnation, it's in production again), making it the longest-running network cartoon ever. Because of syndication, it's never been off the air since it debuted, and it probably never will be. Now it's expanding its empire: Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed opens today in theaters nationwide, the second of what promise to be many live-action Scooby movies. In 2002, the live-action Scooby-Doo raked in $54.2 million on its opening weekend, on its way to a $153-million box office.

Acknowledging Scooby's durability is easier than explaining it. Scooby-Doo wormed its way into the culture through years of drip-drip accretion. It's the Cal Ripken of cartoons: Not the best, though certainly not the worst, it just shows up day after day after day, and you end up loving it for it.


For years, not even the show's creators at Hanna-Barbera—the first TV animation studio and the inventors of "limited animation," (that is, animation cheap enough for TV-size budgets)—realized the appeal of Scooby-Doo. Instead, The Flintstones, or even The Jetsons, was thought to be the studio's flagship property. The 1989 50th anniversary TV special for Hanna-Barbera was dubbed "A Yabba Dabba Do Celebration."

But Bedrock might as well be the, uh, Stone Age for today's young audiences, while the gang at Scooby-Doo maintains its hypnotic appeal. The eponymous dog star's Q rating tops Bugs Bunny's among kids. The franchise's direct-to-video titles consistently hit the best-seller lists. (And yes, in a nod to changing times, Scooby, Shaggy, and Fred do DVD commentary.) Kid-oriented Scooby-licensed video games have been popular since the mid-'90s. In 2000, Scooby-Doo won a mock presidential election held by the Cartoon Network, which still airs an hour-and-a-half of Scooby shows each weekday as part of its "Scooby Universe" package. Unlike the evening "Adult Swim" fare, the Cartoon Network's daytime audience is dominated by tykes. One key to understanding Scooby is to realize it has never performed the double-ironic back flip that would make it an adult phenomenon. It has always appealed first to little kids.

One early hint of the show's hold on children came in February 1971, when the BBC pulled Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! from the air, and 70 Scottish children staged a protest outside the Beeb's Scotland headquarters. An employee recently told the Scottish Daily Record that the protest remains the biggest at that BBC location's history. But beyond making comparisons to the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, or citing the general appeal of talking dogs, or noting that Daphne is as sexualized as a kiddie cartoon character gets, it's difficult to say exactly why the show has had such a long-standing appeal. It's not as if the show's animator, Iwao Takamoto—his other creations include the Great Gazoo of The Flintstones and Grape Ape—is an unheralded genius, a mystery-genre Tex Avery or Walt Disney. "I never got it," complained Mitchell Kriegman, the creator of Nickelodeon's Clarissa Explains It All, to the Boston Globe a few years back. "It's got kind of a slacker appeal, a no-resistance story line." Animators and children's TV creators around the world must see Scooby and ask themselves: Why can't my crappy show become iconic?

Jim Millan, the writer-director of Scooby-Doo in StageFright—Live on Stage (yes, there was a touring theatrical production of Scooby-Doo) tried to engage in some bigthink about the show's popularity during publicity interviews. "They like Scooby's enthusiasm for life," he theorized to the Baltimore Sun. "It represents a youthful, optimistic America, where you can solve a problem with good intentions." To the Toronto Star, Millan compared Scooby-Doo to 19th-century European commedia dell'arte, with its stock characters and costumes. "Scooby and Shaggy love to eat," Millan said. "But the delight is in seeing the permutations." To Nashville's Tennessean, Millan said of Scooby, "He symbolizes youth, in a way."

TV snobs surely see Scooby's ineffable charms as another brick in the wall of American decline, the latest example of how we're all slouching toward Toon Town. As if our children should all be watching The Sopranos. Maybe Scooby's appeal makes sense when you compare it to the rest of kids' TV. The most ham-handed of children's shows try to stuff a moral message down the audience's throat. But the moral code of Scooby-Doo permeates the entire enterprise without you ever noticing it. The Washington Post's Hank Stuever concisely elucidated the "Scooby worldview" when the first live-action movie came out: "Kids should meddle, dogs are sweet, life is groovy, and if something scares you, you should confront it." What needs to be explained about that?

Dragonball Z





Dragon Ball (ドラゴンボール Doragon Bōru?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1984 through 1995, and later the 519 individual chapters were published into 42 tankōbon volumes by Shueisha. Inspired by the Chinese folk novel Journey to the West, it follows the adventures of Son Goku from his childhood through middle age as he trains in martial arts and explores the world in search of the seven mystical objects known as the Dragon Balls, which are known to grant any wish. Along his trip, Goku meets several friends and fights against several villains who plan to get the Dragon Balls to grant their wishes and some who aim to conquer the world.

The series is licensed for an English language release in North America by Viz Media, in the United Kingdom by Gollancz Manga, and in Australia and New Zealand by Chuang Yi. The manga has been adapted into three anime series, seventeen animated feature films, three television specials, a collectible trading card game, and a large number of video games. In 2002, 20th Century Fox began production on the first American-made live-action film which is slated for release on April 8, 2009.

Since its release, Dragon Ball has become one of the most popular manga series of its time in both Japan and North America. It enjoys a high readership, with over 150 million volumes of the series sold by 2007. Several manga artists have noted that the manga series was the inspiration for their own now popular works, including Naruto and One Piece. The anime is also highly popularly, ranking number 12 among the best anime series of all time in 2006. Reviewers praise the art, characterization, and humor of the manga story. The anime series have had more mixed reviews, with the first also praised for its characterizations, but the second was criticized for its long, repetitive fights, and the third series considered repetitive with childish fights and "goofy" character designs.

A monkey-tailed boy named Goku is found by an old martial arts expert who raises him as his grandson. One day Goku meets a girl named Bulma and together they go on a quest to retrieve the seven Dragon Balls, mythical objects that can summon a dragon who will grant any wish. Along the way, they meet and befriend a plethora of martial artists. They also undergo rigorous training regimes and educational programs in order to fight in the World Martial Arts Tournament, a tournament in which the most powerful fighters in the world compete. Outside the tournaments, Goku faces diverse villains such as Emperor Pilaf, the Red Ribbon Army, a demon known as Piccolo Daimao and his offspring of the same name.

As a young adult, Goku meets his older brother, Raditz, who tells him that they come from a fictional race of extraterrestrials called Saiyans. The Saiyans had sent Goku to Earth to destroy it, but his shipped crash leaving Goku with amnesia. Goku refuses to help Raditz continue the mission, after which he begins to encounter others who want to battle him, such as the Saiyan prince Vegeta. He also encounters Frieza, who is considered to be one of the strongest beings in the universe, after which Goku begins training his first child, Son Gohan, to be his successor. Years later, a group of soldiers from the Red Ribbon army known as androids appear to kill Goku. Another android, Cell, absorbs Androids #17 and #18 from the Red Ribbon army to increase his power, then fights Goku and Gohan, resulting in the former's death. Goku is capable of returning to life, but decides to stay dead for seven years to train in the Other World. When he returns, he is drawn into a battle for the universe against an extraterrestrial named Majin Buu. Joined by Vegeta and Gohan, Buu is destroyed and Goku dies again. He is later revived by one of the gods from the Other World. Ten years later at a martial arts tournament, Goku meets Buu's human reincarnation, Uub. At the end of the manga, Goku takes Uub away on a journey to train him as another successor.

Anime sequel

In the anime Dragon Ball GT, which is not directly based on the manga, Goku is turned back into a child by the Black-Star Dragon Balls and is forced to travel across the universe to retrieve them. While in space, he encounters the evil artificial Tuffle, Baby, who wants to destroy the Saiyan race. Goku fights him, but is defeated and his tail destroyed. After his tail is regenerated, he achieves the level of Super Saiyan 4 and destroys Baby, propelling him into the sun with a Kamehameha. After Baby's defeat, Dr. Myuu, a combination of machine and human, creates a replica of Android 17, fuses it with the original Android 17, creating Super 17. Super 17 seems impervious to Goku's attacks, but when Android 18 attacks him for killing Krillin, Goku is able to take advantage of the distraction to find a way to penetrate Super 17 and destroy it.

Due to overuse of the Dragon Balls, seven Evil Dragons were created. All but the most powerful, Syn Shenron, are defeated. When Shenron appears to be losing, he absorbs the Dragon Balls and gains enough power to become Omega Shenron, overwhelming Goku. Eventually, using the energy of every living being in the universe, Goku makes a Spirit Bomb powerful enough to destroy Omega Shenron.

The Blade 2





Blade II is a 2002 vampire action film directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Wesley Snipes. Based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Blade, it is the second film in the Blade series.

Two years after the end of the previous film, Blade cuts a swath through the vampire population of Prague to find his old mentor Abraham Whistler being kept in suspended animation. He rescues Whistler, who has been turned into a vampire, and administers an accelerated version of the cure that was developed in the first film. Whistler revives and learns that Blade has procured a new weaponsmith in his absence, Scud.

As Whistler and Scud begin to argue, a pair of vampires invade Blade's base and deliver a truce offering. Blade accepts and visits the fortress of the ancient vampire Eli Damaskinos. There he learns that a disease spread by Jared Nomak has created a new strain of infected vampires called Reapers that threaten to wipe out all human life on the planet. The vampires offer to ally with Blade in order to combat this mutual threat. Blade agrees and teams with the Bloodpack, an elite vampire squad that was created to battle Blade himself.

Blade and the Bloodpack stake out a vampire nightclub, and their uneasy alliance quickly wears thin. When the Reapers attack, Blade pursues Nomak, and learns that he too bears a personal grudge against vampires. After the battle, the group deduces that the Reapers' only weakness is ultraviolet light. They concoct a plan to lure the Reapers into the sewers and ambush them with UV grenades. Though Blade develops an unusual connection with Nyssa, the daughter of Damaskinos, he is ultimately betrayed by the Bloodpack during the ambush.

Blade, Whistler, and Scud are taken back to Damaskinos's fortress as prisoners, where Damaskinos reveals that he created Nomak in a botched effort to breed a superior race of vampires. Scud also reveals himself as a traitor, but Blade kills him with his own bomb. As Nomak assaults the fortress, Whistler and Blade break free. Damaskinos prepares to flee, but he is betrayed by Nyssa. Nomak kills Damaskinos and infects Nyssa before Blade catches up to him. Blade and Nomak engage in an epic battle before Blade stabs Nomak in the heart. On the brink of death, Nomak feels relieved of his pain and completes the fatal blow.

As the sun dawns, Blade stoically grants Nyssa her final wish to see the sun, to die as a vampire before the Reaper virus takes hold of her. In an epilogue, Blade goes to London in order to settle an old score with a vampire flunky.

One Piece Story





One Piece (ワンピース Wan Pīsu?) is a Japanese shōnen manga written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, that has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since August 4, 1997. The individual chapters are being published in tankōbon volumes by Shueisha, with the first released on December 24, 1997 and 51 volumes released as of September 2008. One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy, who gained supernatural abilities by eating a magical fruit, and his ragtag crew of heroic pirates, named the Straw Hats. Luffy's greatest ambition is to obtain the world's ultimate treasure, One Piece, and thereby become the next Pirate King. When creating the series, Oda was heavily influenced by the manga Dragon Ball.

One Piece is licensed for an English language release in North America by Viz Media. The individual chapters are being serialized in Viz's Shonen Jump manga anthology and being published in tankōbon volumes. In the United Kingdom, the series is being released by Gollancz Manga. Madman Entertainment is releasing the series in Australia and New Zealand.

The series was adapted into an original video animation (OVA) produced in 1998 by Production I.G. It was later adapted into a full anime series by Toei Animation that premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on October 20, 1999. As of October 5, 2008, 373 episodes of the series have aired. The anime series was licensed for a heavily edited English dubbed broadcast in North America by 4Kids Entertainment. It has since been licensed for a full Region 1 DVD release and broadcast by Funimation Entertainment. In addition to the anime series and OVA, One Piece has been adapted into nine feature films by Toei and multiple video games based on the series have been released.

With over 140 million copies sold, One Piece is the third highest selling manga in the history of Weekly Shōnen Jump. It is considered their most acclaimed and all-time third-best-selling title in Japan.

A boy named Monkey D. Luffy, inspired by his childhood hero "Red-Haired" Shanks, sets out on a journey to find the legendary One Piece, to become the new Pirate King. To accomplish this, he must reach the end of the most deadly and dangerous ocean: The Grand Line.

Luffy captains the Straw Hat Pirates first through the sea of East Blue and then through the Grand Line. He follows the path of the deceased Pirate King, Gold Roger, from island to island on his way to the great treasure One Piece. On his way his crew grows to have a first mate, a navigator, a sniper, a cook, a doctor, a swordsman , an archaeologist, a shipwright, and a musician.

During the course of the story, the crew contend with both other less moral pirate crews and the Navy. The latter are the subordinates of the World Government, who apparently seek justice by ending the Great Age of Pirates. Many background story elements involve the delicate balance of power between the World Government and the world's most powerful pirate crews.

The Mask of Zorro





The Mask of Zorro is a 1998 action film directed by Martin Campbell, and stars Antonio Banderas with Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Stuart Wilson. In over 80 years since the creation of the Spanish masked swordsman, Banderas was the first Spanish actor to ever portray Zorro, although his character is not Spanish but a Mexican-born Californian. Hopkins portrayed the original Zorro, Don Diego de la Vega who was popularized by Guy Williams on the Disney TV series, Zorro.

This epic, filmed in Mexico and Orlando, Florida, was both a box office success and critically acclaimed. The Legend of Zorro, a sequel also starring Banderas, Zeta-Jones and directed by Campbell, was released in 2005, but is largely considered inferior to the original.[1]

The Mask of Zorro, like its sequel The Legend of Zorro, weaves several historical figures and incidents into its narrative. Alejandro is the fictional brother of Joaquin Murrieta, a Mexican outlaw killed by California State Ranger Harry Love, portrayed here as Texas Army Captain "Harrison Love", in 1853. (The film takes place more than a decade earlier.) Similarly, there is a character called Three Fingered Jack although the real person was a Mexican named Manuel Garcia rather than an Anglo-American. The opening sequence is set during the aftermath of the Mexican War of Independence, and a war between the United States and Mexico is alluded to. Too early to be the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848, this may refer to the Republic of Texas' continual conflicts with Mexico.

Alejandro tells Montero that he came to California via Paris, Lisbon, and San Francisco, though in 1841, San Francisco was still Yerba Buena. (The name change didn't occur until January 1847.) An original ending on the DVD includes an appearance by Antonio López de Santa Anna, who appears familiar with the Zorro legend, and Montero's plot concerning Californian gold (and its climactic concealment) foreshadows the California Gold Rush.

Diego uses the name Bernardo when posing as the new Zorro's servant. In numerous Zorro books, Diego had a mute servant (later re-imagined in Isabel Allende's Zorro: A Novel as an equal) named Bernardo. Both Zorros conceal their costume under a priest's robes, a tactic used in numerous Zorro-related works. Diego's hacienda has a secret passage in a walk-in fireplace, which has also appeared in previous films. Esperanza de la Vega, Diego's wife, is not Lolita Pulido, the first woman he married, though Esperanza is alluded to in the epilogue of Allende's novel. Allende would continue the Campbell-directed Zorro films' practice of portraying historical figures interacting with fictional protagonists in her novel.

The Zorro silhouette that bookends the film, as well as the action-packed opening scene, recall popular James Bond film structures. (The Mask of Zorro's director Campbell had directed 1995's GoldenEye, the first Bond film starring Pierce Brosnan, and would later direct 2006's Casino Royale, which did the same for Daniel Craig; Campbell performed a similar service for Antonio Banderas in this film.)

The Punisher





This move was sufficiently queer, but could have been gayer. One scene takes place in a bar that has bouncers who are wearing leather gear for some reason. I was waiting for them to break into “Turbo Lover.” the Punisher’s former buddy and partner, Louis Gossett Jr., visits him in prison, after he’s nabbed by the cops. Gossett grabs the Punisher and shakes him vigorously for nearly a full minute; repeatedly shouting “let me in!” The highlight of gayness, however, is clearly Dolph’s sessions of prayer and meditation during which he sits in front of candles and asks Jesus if he should kill more bad guys. Oh yeah, he’s naked and oiled up like a bowling ball during all of these sessions.

Corpse Count:

A very impressive 93! Plus the Punisher beats, maims and tortures plenty of bad guys without necessarily killing them. The carnage hits its apex when Dolph and a partner walk into a room full of meditating ninjas and mow them down with Uzis. Freeze frame revealed that 17 were killed in about 6 seconds. Possibly an 80s Action record.

Novelty Death:

This is my favorite part of the Punisher, but isn’t it always true of any film? At this moment the movie took on a surreal quality. I thought I was watching a Bunuel flick. The mafia bosses have agreed to meet the Yakuza bosses in an Italian restaurant. When the Yakuza arrive, everyone in the restaurant, including old ladies, waiters, busboys--not a single person who looks like a hit man—all stand up and pull out pistols. Then they blow away the boss’ body guards. Then the bosses die from their poisoned drinks. For some reason, the Yakuza chick finds it necessary to point out to the dying mobsters that it isn’t the wine that’s poisoned, but the glasses! As if this is somehow more sinister. Then a different Yakuza chick takes off her earrings that also function as throwing stars and she uses them to crucify the Mafiosi who didn’t’ drink his wine.

Pre-Mortem One Liner:

the Punisher has turned the tables on a Japanese torture doctor strapping him into his own hydraulic rack. Before asking the doctor for information he says, “I don’t want to stretch this out.” After receiving the information, the Punisher leaves the room, then comes back into the room and turns the rack on.

Post Mortem One Liner:

Back to the jailhouse with Louis Gossett. After begging the Punisher to “let him in,” Gossett confronts the Punisher about his rampage asking, “What do you call 125 murders in five years?” the Punisher’s stoic reply, “A work in progress.”

Was there a Stupid Chief?

Sort of. Gossett filled that role to a degree, serving as an advocate for law and order rather than vigilante justice. But since the Punisher was operating totally on his own, Gossett had no badge and gun taking, or demoting power.

Stupid Political Content:

The liberal justice system keeps letting the mobsters out, necessitating the Punisher. Nothing new. There’s also an interesting thing going on with attitudes toward the Japanese. We admire them because they have throwing stars and cool costumes, but hate them because they’re taking over our country and usurping our position of economic dominance (this is 80s Action, remember). The Yakuza move in to displace the New York mob, just as they were buying up golf courses and theme parks in California. They’re efficient, ruthless and dedicated. Luckily, they’re also pretty small, so Dolph has an easy time killing them.

How Bad is it Really?

Pretty bad. I read a couple of other reviews and fan-boys were really pissed off because the film deviates from the comic book. For example, the Punisher doesn’t wear that stupid fucking t-shirt with a skull on it. Not being a 35-year-old virgin, I’m indifferent to such matters. But the movie was rather poorly made. For example, Gossett and his new partner go hunting for the Punisher in the sewers. The partner says something like, “our odds of finding him are one in a million, but we might get lucky.” Then the two embark on their search. A few minutes later and no Punisher. That’s it. The search is never mentioned again.

What You Learned:

Nothing. I sat here for five minutes trying to think of something, but the whole movie is just a guy in black shooting people and occasionally getting naked.

The Inuyasha






It's about a girl named Kagome who lives in year 1995. She lives in a shrine with her grandfather, mother, and her little brother, Sota. One day, on Kagome's 15th birthday, she was off to school when she saw Sota in the well shrine beside her house. Sota was looking for bouyo, their cat, who he said went down to the well. Sota was too scared to go down to the well to look for him. So, Kagome went down, and when she found bouyo and picked him up, behind her was the well. And there was a strange sound coming from it. Then a demond pulled her in. She found out she was in the fedal area, Tokyo's past. The demond was after Kagome. And Kagome turned out to be a recarbanation of a preistist named Kikyou.

The Sexy Anime






Hi, and welcome to our awesome gallery! Since we're such a big gallery, we went through our thousands of images, we've sorted some of them into specific genres, plus made a HUGE unlabeled and miscellaneous sexy girl gallery! Cute school girl pictures and catgirl pics, all together on one page!

Also - if you are looking for hot girl wallpapers, check our Wallpapers section, and look under 'Random Dating Sims'. They are organized by major dating game, and an additional 'Miscellaneous' gallery - it'll have what you need!

Hot Girls Information

If you are looking for hentai for this, or any other anime, read on. If you are looking for pictures of this stuff in general, check our section on that (see the link at the upper-left of the page). If you are looking for actual H pictures, though, you'll have to surf the internet to a site other than this one. Anime Cubed does not provide that sort of image. For MP3s, please review our Anime MP3 section.

If you like this stuff, we'd really appreciate it if you linked to this gallery - we've looked around, and we're rather sure that it is the biggest and best one on the 'net - and it is growing every day. Help us get the word out! ^^

We're still working on beefing up our galleries here - we're weeding out all the low-quality stuff.Hopefully, this gallery will be the one-stop place for these images. Should we split the images up by type, show? It'll get revamped in a few weeks, either way, I think.

This gallery took a lot longer to put together than expected. See, we wanted to keep it 'all-ages', which meant leaving out what the majority of folks are looking for - you know what I mean. Thankfully, those sorts of pics aren't as good-looking as the high-quality images in artbooks, calendars, and magazine features in Japan - and the ones that are from those types of games have plenty of usable art as well. The pictures here are all of the highest quality scans or image captures, and we've gone through each to fix up washed-out colors and magazine seams, so these pictures will be perfect for any wallpaper or gallery you want to make.Plus, honestly, they are pretty hot. ^^

Crayon Shinchan




In researching Crayon Shinchan, I came across a few reviewers who suggested Crayon Shinchan was on par with Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes in terms of originality, brilliance and accuracy in the nature of being a child.

I must have missed something.

Created by Yoshito Usui, Crayon Shinchan is currently one of the most popular anime in Japan. Each half hour episode is divided into short segments from the life and antics and Shinchan, a five-year-old boy who raises Hell for his much suffering mother and father. Before it made television headlines, Crayon Shinchan, like most anime, started as a manga in a weekly magazine. ComicsOne has started releasing this series in collections for the English reading audience.

Within this trade paperback is a series of short stories told in the same vein as comic newspaper strips. The stories are only a few pages long and stand on their own. This makes Crayon Shinchan suitable material for sporadic periods of reading. You read a story, put it down, and then come back to it when you have a chance without needing to worry you've forgotten something. And this is exactly what I did. I couldn't fully immerse myself in the humour of this collection and so I found myself reading one or two stories and then walking away. I had no real burning desire to find out what terrible things Shinchan would do next.

Shinchan is five years old, and yet he has his own firm opinions on matters such as the opposite sex, parenting, relationships, and he also has a strong grasp of the spoken word. This latter characteristic I can live with because we've seen similar in cartoons and comic strips throughout the ages. What I didn't find particularly funny was his crass talk, disrespect for his parents (especially his mother) and off-the-wall behavior.

I was also a little shocked at the reams of physical abuse heaped on Shinchan by his mother. She is constantly slapping, pinching and hitting Shinchan, even for the smallest infraction. Indeed, Shinchan is often seen with lumps on his head or a tanned arse. Even when Shinchan is behaving himself he is presented as an annoyance or inconvenience for his parents. On the other side of the coin, Shinchan continually berates and insults his parents, especially his mother. Both parents and child never express a genuine feeling of affection for one another.

The ebb and flow of the words and images just didn't create the laughs. Usui is treading a lot of the same ground explored with Bart Simpson and the kids of South Park. Crayon Shinchan lacks the innovation of The Simpsons' scripts and falls short of the potty mouth and extreme antics of South Park. Crayon Shinchan falls somewhere in the middle, a place where only an occasional chuckle resides.

If this collection fails in the writing department, then it has to work extra hard in the area of art to keep me focused. You won't find whimsical, charming cartooning within Crayon Shinchan, however. The art is very simplistic. The characters are little more than sketches. The backgrounds are as good as nonexistent. It is, in total, lacking for any saving grace in the art department.

Crayon Shinchan may be one of the most popular anime and manga being released today, but I fail to see the attraction.
