Shaina was on my cosplay 'wish list' for years... but was pretty far down in priority until October 2021: when I started thinking about potential masked cosplays for my first foray back into con-going. I went through my supply stash and found I already had everything except the wig, neon tights, and shoes to make her- so, it was decided. I paused working on my other two WIPs to have her done by January (since I had rollover tickets for ALA 2022). While she was 'complete' enough to wear for the event, there's still some work to be done on the chest plate... and her snake gauntlet broke by days end so needs fixing. Otherwise, I'm pretty proud of how she turned out!
Before I move on to costume specs, I just want to clarify that I did wear a medical-grade mask under my costume one. We aren't out of the woods yet, so con responsibly!
Materials/Construction:
Belt- Yellow flannel, from my fabric stash
Bodysuit- Brown jersey knit, from my fabric stash (pattern drafted by me)
Chest Plate Armor- EVA Foam (6mm, with 2mm used for detailing), Plasti-Dip to seal foam for painting, silver and metallic violet paint (mixed), and Velcro for side fastenings (pattern drafted by me)

Leg Warmers- Lavender violet fleece, elastic (pattern drafted by me)
Mask- Plain plastic craft store mask from my closet (shape refined a bit with scissors and heat), navy blue and black paint, plastic mesh (for eyes), elastic (dyed to match wig)
Right Gauntlet- Lavender violet fleece (sewn from a modified Vogue 8311 pattern), EVA foam (2mm) for details, Mod Podge to seal foam for painting, metallic violet paint

THIS JUST IN: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt has now greenlighted to Season 2 at the Anime Expo 2022 in Los Angeles City
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- After almost 13 years of long hiatus on Season 1, Crunchyroll News and Anime News Network was first reported that a seductive adult-rated action anime of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt has now greenlighted to Season 2 with a new studio called "TRIGGER".
A former anime production company of Gainax privately bought its rights the said studio around a decade later from late-December 2010 before the post-Pandemic of Coronavirus Disease-19 (CoViD-19) in Japan & Los Angeles and our home Internet TV Station of OneNETtv Channel (DYDZ-TV: Channel 8) the same year in 2010, who was originated from a former local Internet Cafe in a Pedestrial Lane outside the exit gate of West City Elementary School (WCES) in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, Philippines.
Studio TRIGGER has finally announced from the exclusive panel of Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) between the 15th and Figueroa Drive last Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm (July 2nd, 2022 - Pacific local time), a board member and co-founder named Hiroyuki Imaishi reveals a new project with a new name as effectively starting today.
Alongside the announcement, the anime project got a teaser trailer showed a cinematic screened text "NEW PANTY & STOCKING" at the end of it with two fallen angels of Panty and Stocking Anarchy. The screening video featured the main characters each posing with both their expletive middle fingers up in body profanitive language.
The 1st season runs from October to late-December 2010, including a new special episode with a Sanitary Box in late-April 2011 on BS Nittele at 3am (Japan local time), a free-to-air satellite service of Nippon TV. OneNETnews cannot independently confirmed with this news report from a panel source of Anime Expo 2022 which is currently in development for now, as Imaishi told our news team.
Sources told exclusively to OneNETnews, the teaser trailer will not be released online since it was an exclusive panel here in Los Angeles, California, United States of America (U.S.A.) as of this historical writing in lost media.
Anime Expo was first founded in 1991 in California dubbed as "Anime Con" features the best in Japanese entertainment, music, fashion, and video games.
Anarchy sisters are almost ready for Season 2 as the new sequel will make a reality of fighting crime for a sexual justice despite to an end of a full decade of hiatus.
Crunchyroll is an affiliate broadcast firm on this Internet TV Station of OneNETtv Channel & OneNETnews.

(the gofundme for her memorial/funeral will be at the end.)
Kagney Linn Necessary was born in Harris County, Texas in 1987, and raised in St. Joseph, Missouri and in Ridgway, Pennsylvania. [x]
In her early years, she moved to California with ambitions of becoming an actress and a singer but entered work as an exotic dancer before signing with LA Direct Models, a pornographic agency. Karter entered the adult film industry in September 2008.[x]
But that wasn't the entirety of who Kagney was. At face value, the only information I could find with a quick search was the basic information above from Wikipedia. All anyone seemed to know about her was who she was when she was in the "industry." I wanted to see what I could find about her, the person. Not Kagney Linn Karter, but Kagney Linn Necessary.
I raked through interviews she had, her personal social media accounts, and any other articles that I could find just to find any little facts about her that I could.
I thought about omitting her time within the porn industry to focus solely on everything else except that. But I feel it would be tasteless to keep it out. I think it needs to be mentioned. I think it is important to show that women pulled into the porn industry are not these separate beings from any other woman with dreams. This was a 36 year old woman who was just like any other woman who was preyed upon.
Necessary released an EP, The Crossover, in 2018. In 2022, Karter released her debut album, titled The Take Over. [x] She would post clips of her singing covers of songs as well as songs from her upcoming EP on her Instagram.
In 2022, she began learning how to play the piano, even posting a video of her progress.
Necessary was also a recovering addict. In 2021, she posted about the things that helped her stay clean and how she was pleased at having a second chance at life. In an interview, she was intentionally vague about the substances she used, only referring to them as "candy" and "a little bit of everything." But with no insurance or money for rehab, she opted to detox herself at her parents home, working at their tanning salon for free in exchange for "produce."
She moved from Los Angeles to Ohio in 2019 and got involved with pole dancing fitness studios before being involved the opening of one in Akron, called Alchemy Pole Fitness. She posted many videos of herself having fun and practicing new/old moves.
In November 2023, she was posting pictures of her new house and how well it was coming together,
[their website leads to a website called Alchemy Space Studios and says that it was founded and run by a separate woman. But upon looking up the LLC for the business, Kagney is named as the registrant and she is named as the owner of the space in two separate articles.]
In 2015, Carter claimed musician Chris Brown paid her $2,500 to be his escort. She reportedly tweeted things like 'I WILL NEVER F*** A WOMAN BEATER EW DISGUSTING' and 'HE IS PURE EVIL' about Brown.
I just felt like adding that because what a queen.
From her students from the studio and friends, she was known to love animals, including her dog, Murphy, and had a deep devotion to the community she was cultivating in Ohio. She was known to be fearless and empathetic, creating her studio as a place for people to feel safe and accepted.
These were the things I could find of her from her personal accounts and the people who loved her. She wasn't an object that will be missed for what "uses" it had. She was a woman who had dreams, who had a community who love her, who had a husband who loves her, dogs she cared for and loved who loved her, and a mother who loves her. I didn't want her story to be another reblog of a lost life.
I know this post is sporadic and clunky, but I wanted to just grab any information I could without crossing boundaries (ex. contacting the family or something tasteless like that). I just wanted to share what she had already shared with the world.
Her friend, Megan Lee, has posted a gofundme that has already surpassed their goal. But I would still suggest donating if you are able. Rest in peace, Kagney Linn Necessary. 💜
Most animation studios in Los Angeles County, California nowadays use CGI, stop motion or 2D flash. However, I’ll list a few animation studios that still use traditional animation in the United States. Double Plus Productions & Renegade Animation in Glendale, California, Studio Yotta in Vancouver, Washington & Brazen Animation in Richardson, Texas. Clean-up or traditional ink animation on paper with pencil or pen will never be required in my future projects after I arrived in Los Angeles soon, not even traditional cel animation. I will go to all 4 studios after I draw the thick outline style illustrations & character designs in Limay, Bataan & soon at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California. Well, I guess American animated TV shows still use hand-drawn animation which are animated overseas in Asia, mostly South Korea.
🏳️🌈 — Happy Pride Month! Let’s start this week with some great news coming from Tokyo.
1. Tokyo Passes Law to Recognize Same-Sex Partnerships
The Tokyo metropolitan government on Wednesday adopted legislation recognizing same-sex partnerships, which will extend some rights that apply to married heterosexual couples.
It also reflects changing attitudes toward the LGBT community. A poll by the Asahi newspaper last year found that 65 percent of voters nationwide supported same-sex marriage, up from 41 percent in 2015.
Japan is the only country in the G7 largest economies not to recognize same-sex marriages.
2. Extinct ‘fantastic giant tortoise’ found alive on the Galápagos Islands
Believed to be extinct for more than a century, a rare species of giant tortoise is in fact still alive.
Scientists assumed that the chelonoidis phantasticus had died out more than a century ago. The only known specimen was discovered in 1906. But in 2019, Princeton researchers discovered a lone female tortoise on the island that hinted that the species might live on. Last week, they finally proved that the two specimens are related.
3. Groundbreaking treatment for HIV/AIDS developed by research team ‘with just a single vaccine dose’
People with AIDS might soon have the option to be treated with just a single vaccine dose, according to a new study from Tel Aviv University that shows the potential impact of a new and unique AIDS/HIV treatment. The peer-reviewed study was led by Dr. Adi Barzel and PhD student Alessio Nehmad.
The goal of the research team was to genetically engineer type B white blood cells inside the body of a person with AIDS. Once modified, the blood cells would be able to secrete neutralizing antibodies against the HIV virus responsible for AIDS, eradicating it from the patient’s body.
4. Rare sun bears rescued from animal traffickers get health checkup
Heartwarming footage shows how two rare bears that were poached as cubs by animal traffickers were given a thorough health checkup.
youtube
“Sun Bears Bopha and Jamran are former victims of the illegal wildlife trade, but found their forever homes at Perth Zoo after being rescued by Free the Bears.”
5. The New York Public Library is giving away 500,000 books for free for keeps
The library is giving away 500,000 books for free to kids, teens and families at all of its branch locations in an effort to help folks build their at-home libraries “and strength the city’s ecosystem of learning,”
All you really have to do to get your hands on some copies is to show up at your neighborhood library and use your card — or sign up for one.
6. Alaska Airlines flight attendant proposes to pilot girlfriend on Pride-themed plane
Veronica Rojas, a flight attendant for Alaska Airlines, surprised her girlfriend with an unforgettable wedding proposal on a flight to Los Angeles. During the flight, Rojas got down on one knee and in true flight attendant-fashion, used the PA system to propose to Moncayo.
youtube
7. Disabled teen completes 84-mile trek of Hadrian’s Wall in wheelchair
Plucky youngster Brynn Hauxwell, 17, who has autism, ADHD, severe asthma, and fixed ankle contractures, took on the historic trail on the border between England and Scotland as part of a charity challenge.
youtube
The arduous journey saw Brynn and his team traveling around eight to nine miles a day and at times going as slow as one mile an hour. The resilient teen has raised over $13,000 for Ability Shetland, a charity that supports disabled people to unlock their full potential in all areas of life, and which also provided the mountain trike for the expedition.

Before and while Tristamp was airing, Kenji Muto made some amazing Twitter posts giving us lore and production tidbits along the way. And while I don't speak Japanese (so I'm going to have to use Google Translate for this, so take everything you read here with a grain of salt because it may be skewed by mistranslation), there was some fantastic art and really cool concepts shared, and I want to archive anything Trigun-related. If I miss anything, let me know!) It starts a little slow with stuff we already know, but there are some interesting tidbits! If anyone who knows Japanese wants to correct anything, please feel free! Now, without further ado...

Twitter始めました。
TRIGUN STAMPEDE監督の武藤です。
I started Twitter.
This is Muto, director of TRIGUN STAMPEDE.
This is my first time directing a feature-length series. We have created a magnificent worldview based on the beautiful concept art and character designs by Koji Tajima. New information should be released one after another. looking forward to. #TRIGUN
I thought that Mr. Hanamori's expression of ``dependence and attachment'' on the official website was accurate. Shonen Nai is the character that took the most time to formulate his behavioral principles. The mysterious patterns that appear on the clothes are also designed by Koji Tajima. What kind of meaning does it really contain?
The photo shows an additional souvenir from Los Angeles.
#TRIGUN
For some reason, most of the official concept art released is from the boyhood version. In the original manga, Nai plays an organ-like or piano-like instrument. How do you feel when you play, and who do you have in mind when you play?
Come to think of it, when will that concept art be released?
When will it be lifted?
#TRIGUN
When I arrived at work, there was a TRIGUN STAMPEDE poster on the wall. By the way, the poster next to me is of the TV anime BEASTARS, directed by Shinichi Matsumi, which I have been supporting since its debut.
The second poster is also in the works.
#TRIGUN
A three-dimensional model of the mothership made for the performance. It's exquisitely twisted and not designed with left and right symmetry, so it's difficult to draw it from three sides.
Rem Saverem is the fifth ship.
The third ship survived the crash.
I come to work on Sunday and am currently working in the sound booth.
#TRIGUN
By explaining things to the other person, your mind will be organized.
It is important to translate feelings into logic and verbalize them.
I would like to continue doing interview interviews for magazines, as they are very stimulating.
However, I am not good at handling unexpected questions and improvisation.
#TRIGUN
It's finally unveiled. The second poster made with cell-look CG takes more time than it looks. The talented staff, whose names cannot yet be made public, have been working behind the scenes. If you look closely, there are hidden hints about the main story, so please enjoy it like a treasure hunt.
The second trailer has also been released.
#TRIGUN
Dubbing is also in progress.
The sense of realism, the sound effects, the mixing, and the wonderful accompaniment music. I wanted to listen to it in the acoustic environment of a movie theater, but it was decided that an advance screening would be held.
In Katsumata-san's words, I think it means "the feeling of groove is irresistible!" The power of sound is terrifying.
#TRIGUN
I'm not good at repeating the same content over and over again, so I try to vary the themes and content from magazine to magazine as much as possible. When viewed from multiple angles, the work appears three-dimensional.
We are sure to continue to publish interview articles full of behind-the-scenes information in the future.
The third poster will be completed soon.
#TRIGUN
Thank you to the kind customers who patiently listened to the unfamiliar talk. I was saved by the gentle and warm applause. Are you unable to carry a conversation while making people laugh like an actor? The Stampede team members advised us, ``It depends on the number of places.''
We have to work hard on the next stage in order to make it to the number of places.
#TRIGUN
Lately, I've been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the advertising team.
People in positions that are different from the field staff and with whom I had no previous contact. It's because of these unsung heroes that my work spreads.
When you go out for drinks with them, you can get a feel for their personalities. Group warfare, group work, group art. It's a project with a lot to learn.
#TRIGUN
There seem to be many TRIGUN STAMPEDE signboards on Shinjuku Ad Street and elsewhere. It seems like the advertising team is planning some interesting things in the future, but I'm really looking forward to it. Behind the scenes, there are people working hard behind the scenes. In this way, the work will continue to expand. Bravo.

#TRIGUN
[Boo, dead Youtube link ):< If anyone knows what it was, let me know and I'll insert that info here]
Before I knew it, I received a TRIGUN STAMPEDE New Year's card that someone had made for me. Stampede simply sits looking at the camera. This photo shows the attitude of the on-site staff as they approach the work with sincerity.
2022 is the last spurt of dubbing (final mix) at the end of the story. #TRIGUN
When I look at cold brew coffee at a coffee shop, I think of TRIGUN STAMPEDE. Although the appearance may change, the ingredients and aroma of the beans are still present. The beans called Naito Sensei are roasted, ground, and carefully extracted drop by drop.
Pour into a super modern coffee cup and enjoy.
We look forward to your continued support in 2023. #TRIGUN
Captain Chuck Lee is a lovable villain who has achieved an unusual promotion from just a mob to a side character.
As I draw the storyboards, the characters start moving on their own.
He starts speaking lines that aren't in the scenario, or gets violent.
Tomokazu Sugita's mysterious performance shines.
#TRIGUN
In the early days, while drinking with Mr. Naito,
“I want to value the feel of touch.”
“I want to value a sense of existence.”
That's what I was talking about all the time.
The atmosphere and lifestyle of the planet are beautifully reproduced.
A tag team from the days of Land of the Lustrous,
Yuji Kaneko's art world.
#TRIGUN
Born and raised in the third city of July.
With the help of his parents, he entered the military police academy through the back door.
The golden gun was a gift from his parents for entering school.
Their world expands beyond the screen, and there are also stories about them that are not depicted in the main story.
Look forward to Chuck Lee's reappearance.
#TRIGUN
#杉田智和
There is no good or bad in the bond between parent and child.
The second episode takes on the challenge of a straight, simple theme.
Also pay attention to the pop (?) cute (?) villains.
Thank you for your support today from 23:00!

When I was revising the storyboard for episode 2,
Suddenly I heard a voice...
"Gofsef"
"Huh? Did you just talk?"
“Gofsef…(nods)”
“I see, you want to call me Gofsef, right?”
“Gofsef. (smiling)”
"Gofsef! (smiling)"
Draw the storyboard while interacting with the characters.

I met Mr. Oxytakehiko for the first time in several years.
Every time, I realized that he had called me all the way to Tokyo.
Next I want to go to Osaka, I should go.
I want to hold a STAMPEDE event in Osaka too.
I want to eat all I can in Osaka.
#TRIGUN
The taciturn and timid young man eventually adapts to the harsh environment,
Obtain "power" as a cyborg.
The name of the young man who has joined the ranks of violent criminals is Gofsef.
When you imagine the untold background,
The world will expand further.
#TRIGUN
Parent-child bond?
Breaking down that common sense.
Blood is thicker than water, episode 3.
Broadcast today at 23:00 on TV Tokyo and other channels.
Please take a look!

The character of Nai is
A rough sketch tells the story.
"The World of Yasuhiro Naito" exhibition held in Shibuya.
He always smiles kindly.
Let yourself be possessed and start drawing.
#TRIGUN
The race of "humans" is lumped together.
See things macroscopically.
Think from a bird's-eye view and act without hesitation.
When I draw storyboards, he lives inside me.
The problem is that once you get into it, it takes a while to get out.
#TRIGUN
#トライガン
But it's okay.
I'm sure he will be strong enough to survive.
Accepting reality in a harsh environment,
Obtaining a distorted prosthetic arm,
Imagine him growing into a young man.
Maybe he's using Wams.
The story world leaves the creator and expands further.
#TRIGUN
[Note that this was shared around episode three and the freckles this guy has--a lot of people theorize this is about Tonis]
I had dinner with Koji Tajima for the first time in several years.
Ordered mantis shrimp, crab, and shrimp.
"what is this?"
“Shakowams! ”
"this is?"
“Caniwams! ”
"this…"
“Ebiwams! ! ”
Feeling like a junior high school student,
A time like a class reunion.
Episode 4 will be aired today from 23:00.
#TRIGUN
A familiar silhouette.
Although it was too heavy to use for motion capture, this imitation was very useful as a pose reference. I imagine it's probably heavier in reality when I direct it.
The exterior is lost technology, and the interior is a synthetic weapon called a machine gun.
"Punishment" means "punishment".
