in the shell

Have you guys ever heard of it? It's the latest trend in fashion and Japan has gone nuts about it ever since. It was very recent and this was back in January this year. I've seen this everywhere this year and you can see even more of these from Japanese websites.

*Googles Virgin Killer Sweater again*


Oh my god, even Motoko Kusanagi is wearing one!



See!?

I didn't know she had a modeling side business too!

Anybody else wanna weigh in?

Is this strictly anime fashion? Or are real people wearing this?

There are real people actually wearing this too. It's not just anime characters. I don't have many photos, but here's one.

Now if you don't mind, I have to talk to somebody...

Kojima: "Major, what the hell is this?"

Major Kusanagi: "..."

Kojima: "Well!?"

Major Kusanagi: "I was.. just... experimenting."

Kojima: "With What!? That Sweater?"

* Major blushes *

Kojima: "Why are you blushing so hard?"

Major Kusanagi: "You know, I can hurt you and then fire you, right?"

Kojima: "Hmm... Good point. I'll just go now, but no seriously, who knew you had a modeling side-business too?"

Major Kusanagi: "KOJIMA!!!"

Kojima: "Okay, Okay, I get it! I'm leaving now."

I saw that the original post image was missing and did a search. Funnily enough the thumbnail of this very post is still intact on google search. Using that I was able to find a fullsized image.

That sweater is not going to keep you warm.
