Anime Vice Anime/Manga News

Did you think my earlier shots were all I'd be able to get for you? Tut tut, my dear readers! I might have been busy blogging away at the panels, but I'm not the only member of the Vice Squad out there. I've got you! And in particular this time around, we have Vice Squad member beyondbirthday, who graciously agreed to share his photos from the convention floor. (Here's his MySpace too, for good measure.)

Now, remember, this is a Comic Con, so not all of these are specifically anime/Japan-related...but I figure Japan took cosplay to the next level in the first place, so it all counts, right?

Very polite of him to bow.

Anyone notice that the least-cosplayed Naruto character appears to be Naruto himself?

You may or may not know it, but this Persona hero is also a member of the Vice Squad. Can you guess who?

...Yeah...it's been a rough year.
