Amnesia: Shin 04

amnesia cosplay - shin by alfred xiaolay欠け落ち失くしてしまった
I search for the final component
最後のコンポーネントを探して
I lost when I fell on down.
遥かな星を辿り
I arrive at a distant star
虹色に染まる空の果てへ
At the edge of the sky dyed in the colors of the rainbow.

隙間から零れ出す小さな灯に囚われ
I am held prisoner by the little lights that fell through the cracks
白日夢に似た道 歩き 歩き
And down a path that looks like a day dream, I walk, and I walk.
加速する引力が
The excelling gravity,
繰り返す動力が
The repeating pull,
私の心ごと 話さない
Will not tell me about my heart.

“Zeotrope”
Lyrics by Crimson Silk
Translation by Sarah Nelkin

Doesn’t Alfred Xiaolay make an amazing Shin? I think I like this outfit better than his original one, what do you guys think? Thanks to Jennifer for sending this in!

As for a dress code,
胸に薔薇だけでいいから
Just a rose on your chest is enough

Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Enoshima Junko

dangan ronpa: trigger happy havoc cosplay - enoshima junko by maki eracleaA young fashionista who took the country by storm with her extravagant tastes, Enoshima Junko had always wanted to be a model ever since she was a child. Her personality and mannerisms are extremely erratic and unstable, as she admits that keeping up one “appearance” for too long bores her. She is the younger twin sister of Ikusaba Mukuro and had an alternate identity known as Otonashi Ryoko.

Meet Italian cosplayer Maki Eraclea! Doesn’t she make an amazing Junko? Please head on over to her Facebook page and give her your support! Thanks to Maki for letting me post this!

Sword Art Online: Gun Gale Online: Asada Shino

When Shino was less than two-years old, she and her parents were involved in a car accident. Unfortunately, it took more than 6 hours before anyone even noticed, and Shino’s father died slowly from internal bleeding while her mother watched. The trauma caused her mother to become very fragile, and thus Shino became overprotective of her mother.

Isn’t Ely the cutest Shino? She has several versions of Sinon in her Facebook Page too, so please give her your support! Thanks to Harry for suggesting this!

Tokyo Ghoul: Tsukiyama Shuu and Kaneki Ken

tokyo ghoul cosplay - tsukiyama shuu and kaneki ken by ryuichi randoll

When Tsukiyama Shuu first met Kaneki in Antaiku, he became fascinated with his unique scent, and later found out that Kaneki was actually half-ghoul. Since then, Tsukiyama has been completely obsessed with Kaneki, seeing him as an exotic, one-of-a-kind dish that only he deserves to consume. As a result, Tsukiyama is always trying to find a way to consume Kaneki, which is the only reason why he helped rescue Kaneki from Aogiri’s hideout.

Oh dear, this is probably one of the most famous cosplay photos from Tokyo Ghoul right now! It’s not really all the difficult to see why! Anyway, I don’t know who the cosplayer behind Kaneki is, but Tsukiyama’s cosplayer is Ryuichi Randoll! You might remember his cosplay of Shin from Amnesia, so please visit his sites: Ask, Cure, Weibo, and World Cosplay! Thanks to Tama for sending this in!

But sometimes, you lose yourself in others!

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: Akemi Homura 04

mahou shoujo madoka magica cosplay - akemi homuraIn her original timeline, Homura is portrayed as meek and timid, a complete opposite of her cold and distant self at the beginning of the series. She is known around the school for her lack of confidence and her inability to perform in P.E. class. This is unfortunately due to her being the target of bullying, and she began to question her existence until she became a magical girl.

Oh wow, this photo is amazing! Homura looks so fierce, like a force to be reckoned with! Thanks to Anime Plus for sharing this!

Sword Art Online: Mother’s Rosario: Konno Yuuki

sword art online: mother's rosario cosplay - konno yuukiAn Alfheim Online player who has an even faster reaction time than Kirito, Konno Yuuki was the 2nd leader of the Sleeping Knights Guild. She was known as Zekken or “Absolute Sword” due to her winning streak of 67 consecutive duels on the street, including Kirito. She was also known for creating an 11-hit Original Sword Skill.

I’m sure most of the SAO fans already know what happened to Yuuki, so this photo might give you a lot of feels. For the others who haven’t caught up yet, well, this is still a beautiful photo, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks to Crystal for sharing this!

Their Story: Qi Fang and Sun Jing

their story / tamen de gushi cosplay - qi fang by hana and sun jing by ayu hangIt didn’t feel right to feature only Baozi last time, so now I will show you Hana with another cosplayer!

There’s not much information on this series yet, but from what I heard, it’s an adorable story about Sun Jing, a tomboy who fell in love with Qui Tong, a girl from another school. I think Qi Fang is Sun Jing’s best friend who helps her out with her girl troubles!

Do you recognize Sun Jing’s cosplayer? That is Ayu Hang, the same cosplayer of Touken Ranbu’s Heshikiri Hasebe! And now she has a World Cosplay account, so please give her a visit there too! Thanks again to Karen for sharing this!

Card Captor Sakura: Kinomoto Toya and Sakura

card captor sakura cosplay - kinomoto toya by baozi and kinomoto sakura by fuzukiLike many older brothers, Toya constantly teases his little sister Sakura, but he actually cares about her a lot. He is well aware that Sakura is the Card Captor, and he often takes part-time jobs that allow him to be close by whenever Sakura is working on capturing a card. Toya also has powers of his own, including the ability to see ghosts and other non-humans, the ability to sense when Sakura is in danger, and mild precognition.

Isn’t this adorable? Please give the cosplayers your support with Baozi as Toya and Fuzuki as Sakura! Thanks to Karen for sharing this!

Ao no Exorcist: Okumura Rin 03

ao no exorcist cosplay - okumura rin 3Unlike his younger twin Yukio, Rin is immature and reckless, which often times leads others into thinking he is the younger one of the two. He is very open with his friends, but when some of them found out about his Demon heritage, they became afraid of him, thinking that he was unstable and therefore dangerous. Rin appears to have a soft spot for animals too, as he fought against Shiratori Reiji and his delinquent gang because they were shooting down pigeons.

I love the effects on this image! I need to learn how to render fire too, since one of my characters is a fire angel. Thanks again to Robins for suggesting this!

Saint Seiya: Pisces Albafica

saint seiya cosplay - pisces albafica

Albafica is a quiet man who appears to prefer solitude than the company of others. In reality, he is a kind person who does his best to avoid others in order to protect them from his poisonous blood. Prolonged exposure to the Demon Roses, as well as the ritual of Red Ribbons of Blood with his teacher, forces those of Pisces to live their lives in isolation, thus giving Albafica a cold image.

This cosplayer is really pretty, wouldn’t you agree? This series is really making me curious though… I remember having an officemate who was a big fan of Saint Seiya that he had the entire cast’s figures displayed on his desk!

Maybe I’ll give the manga a read after my deadlines… Thanks to LOLWHAT11 for sharing this!

I’ll: Hiiragi Hitonari

i'll cosplay - hiiragi hitonariHiiragi Hitonari was kicked out of his house after he decided that he would not go to the school where his father coaches at. As he is a very talented basketball player in his own right, he wanted to step out of his brother’s shadow, who was already a star player. He is described to be a “thoroughbred” player who is good in every aspect of the game, and is thus given the position as Point Guard.

Hiiragi’s probably my favorite from the series… possibly because of his white hair. I have a soft spot for white-haired guys. Thanks again to TsukiHiro for sharing this!

Constantine: Gabriel

constantine cosplay - gabriel by winters knight

After exorcising a girl possessed by a demon soldier trying to break through to Earth, John Constantine seeks an audience with the androgynous half-breed angel Gabriel. John asked Gabriel to heal him of his lung cancer, but Gabriel declines, telling John that his motives for exorcising demons are selfish and that it will not grant him entry into Heaven. It is later revealed that Gabriel laments God’s favoritism towards humans and planned to release Lucifer’s son, Mammon, let him claim Earth as his own kingdom.
