If you couldn't tell I've been cosplaying a lot lately.
Making costumes doesn't leave me time for doing any other art it seems so all I have to post are costumes!

I'm currently catching up on all the anime/manga I didn't get to watch/read while I was in college, cuz unlike most college students I was actually busy studying!

Anyway, does anyone have any anime/japanese shows/manga that they recommend? I'm giving a list of what I've watched/read so far in no particular order. Some I'm still in the middle of so I'm haven't decided if I like them yet or not!

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (anime/manga/live action)(I actually really liked the live action! Only the first few episodes were kinda bad, but the episodes later on were worth it in my opinion!! But I really love the manga more than the anime . . .)

Inuyasha(anime show/ movies /manga)

TokyoMewMew(anime/manga)

Ghost in the Shell(anime show/movies)

Macross(anime show/movie)

Mospeada(anime)

Vampire Knight(anime/manga)

Peach Girl(anime, though I would like to read the manga!)

Neon Genesis Evangelion (original anime show)

Ranma1/2(anime, would also like to read this manga)

Ghost Hound(anime)

Magic Knight Rayearth(anime)

Jigoku Shoujo(anime)
