Death Note: Ryuk and Rem

6

Although Ryuk and Rem are both shinigamis, they are the exact opposites of one another. While Ryuk takes amusement in everything in the Human World, Rem dislikes humans and views them with contempt. In another example, Ryuk is ambivalent with Light’s success or failure, while Rem, on the other hand, actively assists Misa. However, they are similar in the fact that neither one of them displays “proper” traits for a shinigami to have.

I’m guessing Ryuk has a mask on, what do you guys think? I find this version of Rem quite pretty though. Thanks to Maika for sending this in!

Death Note: Rem

Like Ryuk, Rem is a shinigami who has two Death Notes, one of which she delivers to Amane Misa. Her second Death Note belonged to another shinigami named Gelus, who fell in love with Misa and sacrificed himself in order to kill her destined murderer. She once viewed all humans with contempt, but after witnessing Gelus’ devotion to Misa, Rem decides to watch over Misa in his place.

This looks amazing! And the camera angle is well thought out, as it makes the cosplayer look really tall and lanky, just like the shinigami herself! If anyone knows who the cosplayer is, please do let me know! Thanks again to nopqr for sharing this!

Prison School TV Series Drama

Popular manga series, “Prison School” will be receiving a live-action drama television series adaptation that will air in MBS on October 25 at 24:50 and TBS on October 27 at 25:11. The series is directed by Iguchi Noboru at production studio Robot.

Iguchi said with a laugh that when he heard about the live-action television plans, he initially asked, "Is this for real?" He felt that if he squandered this chance to adapt this amusing manga, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Blessings for your birthday
Blessings for your everyday

最後の一秒まで前を向け
Face forward until the very last second

剥がしても何故だか増えてくタグと
With tags that multiply even if torn off,
ランク付けされてく理不尽な価値
And the unreasonable worth from the rank attached to you,
そんな数値で人を推し量らないでと
You shouldn’t make assumptions about people with those values.
飛び交う言葉を手で覆い隠した
I masked those fluttering words with my hands.

Oh... It’s time to get up

灯火を消す前に
Before you turn off the light.

Oh... It's time to get up

足元を照らせ！
Brighten your step!

ほらここをじっと見つめてみて
Hey, try to take a good look over here,
最高の味方が映ってるでしょ？
Your greatest ally is reflected back at you, right?
それは命の証
That’s the proof of life.

“Blessing”
Lyrics and Translation by Vocaloid Lyrics

I immediately recognized that this is another amazing photo by the late Saya. It seems she and Kaname are close friends because this is the second Vocaloid shoot that they did together (you can see the other one I featured last February here). It still makes me sad to think she’s gone. Thanks to Midori for sending this in!

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de – Maihitoyo: Motomiya Akane and Ono Suefumi and Suefumi’s Ghost

Akane first met Suefumi on a rainy day, as Suefumi tacitly offered her his coat to keep herself from getting wet. When they met a second time, Suefumi confesses that he has no recollection of his past or his name, but somehow feels content by being with her. As Akane sets out to find out who Suefumi is, she unravels a famous cursed dance rumored to kill anyone who attempts to perform it.

I loved this story of Suefumi in Volume 14 of the manga! Although awkward, Suefumi was proud and fearless! It’s too bad he wasn’t part of Hachiyou Shou.

Anyway! Please support Akane’s cosplayer, Aizumi Sera (愛純世羅) through her Cosplayers’ Archive! I don’t know her friends’ websites, but Suefumi is cosplayed by Tachibana Hito (橘人)and his ghost version is cosplayed by Soku-san (蒼空さん)! Thanks again to Justine for sending this in!

No Game No Life: Shiro

Excelling in calculations and logic, Shiro and her stepbrother, Sora, form the undefeated gaming identity “Blank” due to their trademark of using only spaces as their in-game names. After their parents died, they no longer had any emotional ties to society and became shut-ins or hikikomori. They are also agoraphobic, and suffer from panic attacks when they are separated from one another.

Oh wow, Tomia makes the perfect Shiro, wouldn’t you agree? If you’d like to see more of her photos, please visit her blog and official Facebook page to give her your support! Thanks to Daniel for sending this in!

Death Note TV Series

Popular manga series Death Note received a TV drama series that premiered last July 5, 2015. It was directed by Inomata Ryuichi, known for his work on Kaseifu no Mita, and Nishimura Ryo, who worked on the special version of the 2014 drama Kamen Teacher. The adaptation featured several talented actors, including:

• Kubota Masataka as Yagami Light
• Yamazaki Kento as L. Lawliet
• Yuki Mio as Near / Mello
• Sano Hinako as Amane Misa
• Matsushige Yutaka as Yagami Soichiro
• Fujiwara Reiko as Yagami Sayu
• Maeda Goki as Matsutuda Tota
• Yuge Tomohisa as Aizawa Shuichi
• Sato Jiro as Mogi Kanzo
• Seki Megumi as Himura Shoko / Halle Lidner
• Hankai Kazuaki as Watari

I’ve heard mixed reviews with this series, so I’m not sure if I want to watch it or not. Kubota Masatake does make an impressive Light, but I think Yamazaki Kento might be a little too beautiful as L? Also (spoiler alert!), Apparently Near has a split personality, so Yuki Mio plays both Near and Mello! That part I actually wish to see for myself!

What are your thoughts on this adaptation of the series?

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin 30

思い通りに いかないことだらけ
Nothing ever goes the way I want it to,
どうしようもなく 自己嫌悪
and I can’t help but hate myself for it
八百万の 痛みや悲しみから
To hide from these eight million pains and sorrows,
逃げ込める場所を
I’ve gone off on a search
探してる
for a place I can hide away in

いっそ 岩の隙間に引きこもって
I’d rather stay inside a rocky crevice
月も太陽も無視して 眠ろう
and sleep without regard for the sun or moon
生まれてきたことの 意味なんて
Why was I even born in the first place?
知らない 分かんないよ
I don’t know, it just doesn’t make sense

でも そんな風に 思えるってこと
But while it may seem like that,
それは 君がもっともっと素敵に なれる力が
it means you have the ability to become even greater
あるって 教えてるんだよ
And I’ll tell you why

“As the Gods Say”
Lyrics and Translation by Vocaloid Lyrics

Alright guys, Yukino and I are not completely sure, but we think this might be Arisa Mizuhara. I’ll put this feature under her tab for now, but if someone could confirm it, then we’d be extremely grateful! Thanks again to Yukino for sending this in!
