Creative Bento of Gertrud Barkhorn although it probably tastes a bit plain - the dark stuff is Nori which is Japanese dried seaweed. Original text from Tojii below.Indeed! I saw this at www.crunchyroll.com and I thought I had to shear it with you guys. Yes, that is in fact a Lieutenant Barkhorn Bento... How mutch time is invested in such wonderful art!? Hope not to many people have seen it all ready. On a scale of 1-10: How awesome?

Oh! So here is where it went. ^^ Awesome right? But Coloring it with some sauce wouldn't hurt, at least the patsu... Yeah that would be great
(ID #432303) Posted on 2009/01/02 00:03
who can bear to eat that?!
(ID #432309) Posted on 2009/01/02 00:25
I certainly would, that's still better than letting it rot. :)
(ID #432313) Posted on 2009/01/02 00:33

Extremely well done! Over the course of my Anime Obsession, I have also come across other very well made and elaborate bentos. While this is nice, it would have been even better if he/she added more color using meat, fishcake, etc... Sushi and rice is kinda plain...
(ID #432336) Posted on 2009/01/02 01:08
quite awesome. i admire the dedication in cutting those fine slices of seaweed. I wonder how long it took...

(ID #432355) Posted on 2009/01/02 01:46
3rd try posting comment, it is either comment going to appear 3 times or once The seaweed is prolly "cut" using CG tools and then superimposed onto the bento. Anyway if this comment only appear once, then theres some problem with the scripting in the posting, aka msg wont appear if u click on post comment and then login from there.

Steps to properly consume an Anime bento: 1. Admire Bento 2. Take picture of Bento 3. Frame picture 4. Eat Bento while looking at picture.

(ID #432369) Posted on 2009/01/02 02:06
The only question is weather to start from the bottom or the top ^_^

The nori looks like it's placed on a flat surface above the rice. Picture is 'shooped. :/ Rice goes out of the corners of the box. But the nori creation in itself is epic! :D

Makes me want to eat it.
(ID #432628) Posted on 2009/01/02 09:32
To be honest, this doesn't take that much skill to make, but the time and effort put into doing paper-cutting on the nori (seaweed-cutting?) looks pretty substantial. I wonder how many sheets of nori were ruined during cutting. >.<~
(ID #432634) Posted on 2009/01/02 09:41
Bento art like this isn't usually meant to be eaten is it? Then again it would just spoil if it is.

Considering how nori isn't very cooperative to begin with this is indeed a great accomplishment of the culinary arts.
(ID #432713) Posted on 2009/01/02 11:33
Great. I'd want a Lucchini instead, tho.
(ID #432789) Posted on 2009/01/02 13:02
The is a great art. It's such a waste to eat her up but preserve it won't last long also.

Its OVER 9000 awesome on the scale xD. Wouldn't want to eat it though since it looks nice and would not taste much anyway.
(ID #433136) Posted on 2009/01/02 21:30
that's just awesome.. i wonder if anyone would fap over it then gets hungry and decides to eat that afterwards?
(ID #433209) Posted on 2009/01/03 00:24
Ha looks great it'd be the perfect thing to take out in front of friends at lunch. I doubt I'd eat it tho looks to good.
