Amnesia Cast 02: Kent, Shin, Ukyo, Toma, and Ikki

amnesia cosplay cast - kent, shin, ukyo, toma, and ikki

注がれる運命が
My fate that rains down
両手を満たしていく
Fills up both of my hands.
私ひとりだけじゃ 足りない
But my hands alone are not enough.

あふれてしまう前に
Before it overflows...

受け止めて 支えていて
Accept me, support me,
少しだけでも
Even if just a little,
無意味な世界なんて無いと
I can make a tomorrow that you are able to believe
信じるための明日をつくりあげるの
That there is no such thing as a world without meaning.
もう諦めたりしないから
I won’t give up anymore.

“Zoetrope”
Lyrics by Crimson Silk
Translation by Sarah Nelkin

I wonder why this particular series draws me in, even though I have never played the game nor have I even seen the anime? I even bought the art book at the Manila International Book Fair, even though it was the browsing copy… I guess it sold out pretty quickly. Not surprising though, because the artwork is really amazing.

Anyway, I believe this set of cosplayers have done the characters justice, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks to Elbereth for sharing this!


EDIT: Thanks to Hitori for letting me know that Ikki's cosplayer is Zixell from World Cosplay! The others that we know of are UM as Kent, Yapa as Toma, and Nia as Ukyo!

君と信じたこの夢は
This dream that I’ve believed in with you

I won’t be afraid

Chase the chance

Yami no Matsuei: Muraki Kazutaka and Tsuzuki Asato 03

yami no matsuei cosplay - muraki kazutaka by kidzuki sakura and tsuzuki asato by kuromitsuぬれた瞳の奥蒼い月は
In the depths of eyes filled with tears
静かにこぼれ落ちて行く
A pale moon quietly spills over and falls

鮮やかな世界は音も無く
A brilliant world makes no sound
静かに闇に消えて行く
As it quietly disappears into the darkness

秒読みの中かけめぐる闇の中を
I run about in the dark hearing a countdown
そして新たなる時をむかえ今…
And this moment now summons a new era...

“Eden”
Lyrics by Anime Lyrics
Translation by Kannuki

Well, I suppose that opposites do attract? In some levels?

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Hungary 03

hetalia: axis powers cosplay - hungary / elizabeta hedervary by teru terumiiHungary was a nomadic girl who loved to chase horses on the plains. She was a tomboyish girl who believed herself to be a boy until she hit puberty. She is described to be a reliable older sister, and the manliest character in the series.

In 2008, Himaruya gave human names to some of the characters in Hetalia: Axis Powers. Hungary received the name Elizabeta Héderváry.

I still haven’t been able to read or watch this series yet, but does anyone remember this cosplayer? She is Teru Terumii, who was featured on Cosplay Holic before as Alice Baskerville and Hatsune Miku!

I hope you will continue to support her through her Blog and Facebook! Thanks to Ivan for sending this in!

Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus: Doll 02

kuroshitsuji: book of circus cosplay - doll by rin - cosplay projectWhen she is performing as a first-string member of the Noah’s Arc Circus, Doll appears to be solemn and taciturn, just like her name suggests. As Freckles, however, she has a warm, welcoming personality that is somewhat innocent. Upon first meeting Ciel Phantomhive, Doll felt it was necessary to look after and protect him. She woke him up when he overslept, shared her food with him, and taught him to become a better performer. She readily believed Ciel’s lies, something the other members reprimanded her for multiple times.

Isn’t she adorable? Rin is an Italian-Vietnamese cosplayer, and she already has a lot of cosplays in her Facebook page! Please do support her! And also, please support her photographer, Marcello Masiero! Thanks again to Marcello for sending this in!

Sailor Moon - Steam Punk Version

sailor moon cosplay - steampunk version by jo-anne cosplay

嗚呼 女の子にも譲れぬ矜持がある
Ah, even girls have a kind of pride they cannot give up
それは 王子様に運命投げず
It’s to not give up their fates to their princes,
自らたたかう意志
But to fight with their own volition

Shiny Make-up 輝くよ 星空を集めて
Shiny Make-up, shine! Gather in the starry sky
ただ護られるだけの か弱い存在じゃないわ
I’m not a being so frail that I must only be protected

“Moon Pride”
Lyrics by Sailor Moon Wiki
Translation by Anime Lyrics

Well, this is an interesting version of our beloved Moon Princess, don’t you think? Please do support the cosplayer through her Facebook, Jo-Anne Cosplay and give her a like or two! You’ll find more photos of her steam punk Sailor Moon there!

「何%からアイになるんだろ?」
“At what percentage does it become ‘love’?”
グラフで表せない心の中
No graph can express what’s in my heart

屋上は黄昏れパープルの風はざわめき
The rooftops fade into twilight, a purple breeze stirs繋いだ手は 暖かく
Your hand held in mine is so warm

君の靡く髪を そっとよけて 近づいた
Your fluttering hair softly moved closer, just missing me,欲張りになってゆくハート
Filling my heart with longing

“A.I”
Lyrics by Kasi Time
Translation by ☽ Moonlit Sanctuary ☾

Amnesia: Toma 03

amnesia cosplay - toma by stayxxxxこのまま連れ出してよ
Take me away now,
塵屑と粒子の端繋ぎ合わせて
Connecting the bridge of dust and sand together.
作り出す環を のぞきこめば
If you peek into the loop that was made,
その度に形をかえ
Sometime, it will change its shape,
廻りはじめる
And begin to spin.
また私に そう 出会うために
Yes, in order to meet me again.

何一つ頼れない
I can’t rely on a single thing.
何一つ信じられない
I can’t believe in a single thing.
せめて夢であれば救われたのに
If at least I had a dream, I would be saved.

“Zoetrope”
Lyrics by Crimson Silk
Translation by Sarah Nelkin

Another amazing cosplay by stayxxxx! I don’t know how she manages to look so different every time she cosplays a new character, but that’s also what I admire so much about her! I really hope I will get to meet her one day! Thanks to Elbereth for sharing this!

Sailor Moon: Kumada Yuuichirou

sailor moon cosplay - kumada yuuichirou by thedarkenedelf

In his first appearance, Kumada Yuuichirou was sleeping on the steps in front of Hikawa Shrine. He fell in love with Hino Rei at first sight and begged her grandfather to allow him to become an apprentice at the shrine. Rei’s grandfather trained Yuuichirou vigorously and he continued to work hard in order to become a better version of himself.

I never thought anyone would be interested into cosplaying this character! I loved Yuuichirou very much, and thought he would be a perfect match for Rei, but since he’s an anime-only character, I guess that could only happen in fan fiction! Anyway, please support the cosplayer, The Darkened Elf, through Deviant Art, Facebook, and Tumblr! Thanks to Rikachan for sending this in!
