Strike Witches Bento
Creative Bento of Gertrud Barkhorn although it probably tastes a bit plain - the dark stuff is Nori which is Japanese dried seaweed.

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:

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...

quite awesome. i admire the dedication in cutting those fine slices of seaweed. I wonder how long it took...

That is just soooo cool :) If there is one way to get me over my dislike of seaweed, this would be it ;b
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.

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

Very artistic! Usually mothers try to show off for their kids' bento, but whose kid is this for? XD
???Confused???
Where should one start eating this if they could bear to eat it?...

Makes me want to eat it.

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. >.<~
student
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.
