I likee. Of course the shirt...MUST...be unbuttoned...but other than that, pretty good effort for what prob is a bit hard to do in real life.
I too wish for the flip, Dallbun, (oh if only) although I imagine that this would lead to somebody falling off the hood and being run over.

Calling Akio African and/or American is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? General consensus seems to be that with the skin tone and tilaks, Akio and Anthy look Indian (just like in the Anime Insider casting in that other thread), and asking about their absolute origins is probably pointless.

Anyway, we understand your point. I'm not particularly bothered by the cross-ethnic cosplay, though. It detracts from the overall visual accuracy of the costume, but no more so than differences in height, body type, or animatedness. Just think of all the white folks cosplaying theoretically Asian characters, and vice versa. (Or, actually, don't, if the idea offends you so much.) I kind of agree with you about the car, though now that I think about it, it would be pretty cool to see all kinds of people doing the Akio hood-ride in all kinds of vehicles...

The video itself was cute. I would have appreciated a couple of gear-shifting and pedal shots and such. I suppose an actual flip onto the hood of the car would be too much to ask, unfortunately.

okay im not getting all pissy im just trying to point out the facts but other than that its a hilaroius video.

But, maybe it's just me.

and the cow is nanami...lol:rofl:

.....This reminds me of the time one of my friends tried to be Makio and jump across a car hood.

He didn't quite make it. About half way he just sort of....skidded to a halt.....

It was hilarious to watch -- well he didn't think so, his um...."sensitive bits" took quite a bit of the pain.....
