No More Heroes: More Sylvias on the way

by JC Fletcher { Nov 9th 2007 at 5:00PM }

An announcement on the No More Heroes website says that during November and December, a Sylvia Christel cosplay event called "PLAYSYLVIA" will be featured. In the "web cosplay event," gravure idols will dress up as Sylvia and then do what they do best -- be photographed. If you like to see girls who look sort of like fictional characters, you will no doubt be pleased with this.

Could this be inspired by the amazing Travis Touchdown cosplay we featured yesterday? Probably not! It takes more than a few hours to plan an inititative like that and hire models and photographers and stuff. Also Grasshopper Manufacture seems to be pretty in tune with their target audience (otaku) and having pretty girls dress up as one of the characters is basic marketing for otaku stuff.

Check after the break for this week's new No More Heroes videos! They are comical, and also (as usual) very short.

Yeah, this'll ring with the Otaku community that No More Heroes is trying to click with anyway

Spike/Marvelous Interactive are geniuses

Speaking of character's named Sylvia/Silvia, NMH's Sylvia looks quite a bit like Viewtiful Joe's Silvia.

Or maybe not. My memory is a bit fuzzy.

I will enjoy seeing all the girls dressed in scanty clothes but I wonder how they will dress their heads up to look much larger in proportion to their body than a normal human like the character.

This may be a totally stupid question, but when does this this actually come out? I feel like I've been following the coverage pretty closely, and don't feel like I've ever seen a release date attached...Anyway, it looks pretty good, and I'll definitely be picking it up.
