Anime Pumpkins! And Licca-chan!


Cool looking pumpkin carving contest on animenewsnetwork.com: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/contest/2007-10-26/annual-pumpkin-carving
Take a look at the winners from previous years. How do people do things like this?

Halloween in Japan has been growing in popularity lately. I guess we won't be seeing many more episodes like the one from Super Doll Licca-Chan. With a great pumpkin as a backdrop, little girl Licca earnestly explains the true meaning of the holiday to one of her dolls: that Jesus Christ is the King of Halloween.

Licca-chan, btw, is Japan's fashion doll diva from the 60's. With a French cellist for a Papa and a Japanese fashion designer mother, Licca was bicultural long before it was cool.
