"Kill Me Baby" Proves to be a Hit

In January, the official Kill Me Baby Twitter account celebrated 10,000 followers by presenting a set of 686 icons, matching the initial sales figure for the anime's Blu-ray release. Since then affection for the anime adaptation of the four panel manga strip about a normal schoolgirl and her deadly assassin classmate had seemed to be growing, and now sales on a new release bear that out.

The songs of Kill Me Baby were collected in a "Super" best album on October 16th, packaged with a DVD of new anime.

As always with these promotions, the characters get goofy make-overs in the likeness of the umaibou tasty stick mascot. For the earlier movies, the girls were also featured as 8-bit characters on the associated clearfiles. This time, the extra art is battle damage.

"Attack On Titan" "Cleaning Levi" Window Recreated In Japanese Amusement Park

One version of Captain Levi from Attack On Titan that has been very popular is Cleaning Levi seen in episode 15 of the series. Many cosplayers choose to cosplay this version and they are always in search of a perfect location for a photoshoot. The heavy wooden window doors are very hard to find in Japan, but the Japan Cosplay Festival that takes place at the Japanese amusement park Toshimaen in Tokyo has addressed the high demand and created the window that Cleaning Levi opened in the episode.
