Gray-man: Lenalee Lee 05Here’s another character idea for you guys, and the anime is making a comeback too!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2011/08/d-gray-man-lenalee-lee-04.html" target="_blank">Lenalee</a>’s anti-Akuma weapon, known as the Dark Boots, enable her to run at high speeds, jump great heights, walk on water, create whirlwinds, and use sound wares as footholds. At one point, <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2010/08/d-gray-man-lenalee-lee-03.html" target="_blank">Lenalee</a> had an encounter with a Level 3 Akuma, which forced her to evoke more power than she could handle. With her life in danger, her Innocence became a crystal, protecting <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2009/03/d-gray-man-lanalee-lee-02.html" target="_blank">Lenalee</a> from harm. This behavior was previously unheard of in Innocence.<br />
<br />
Introducing Japanese cosplayer, <a href="http://cosp.jp/prof.aspx?id=231678" target="_blank">Might (舞斗)</a>! I love her action shot of <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2008/09/d-gray-man-lavi-allen-walker-kanda-yu.html" target="_blank">Lenalee</a>! It looks like she was caught mid air by a high speed camera!<br />
<br />

Yes?<br />
<br />
Alright, from what I understand in <a href="https://web.facebook.com/rurokenmovie/photos/a.630559187008771.1073741825.199417210122973/795454670519221/" target="_blank">the description</a>, this is not Fujiwara Tatsuya, who plays the role of Shishio in the film, but Takito Kenichi? I did find <a href="https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%BB%9D%E8%97%A4%E8%B3%A2%E4%B8%80" target="_blank">his profile in (Japanese) wiki</a>, and he does play a role in <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/search/label/Rurouni%20Kenshin" target="_blank">Rurouni Kenshin</a>, but I’m not exactly sure since my Japanese is not very good. And what’s with the photo in his <em>kimono</em>?<br />
<br />
Anyhow, if anyone can clarify, that would be great! Thanks to Rae for sending this in!<br />

<br />
Although <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2014/07/xxxholic-ichihara-yuuko-04.html" target="_blank">Yuuko</a> has the ability to predict the future, she often visits a fortuneteller whom she lovingly refers to as “Oba-chan”. Once, when <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2013/12/xxxholic-watanuki-kimihiro-and-ichihara.html" target="_blank">Watanuki</a> accompanied her, <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2009/05/xxxholic-ichihara-yuuko.html" target="_blank">Yuuko</a> explained that one cannot predict their own future of else there will be chaos. Nevertheless, Oba-chan is one of <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2008/01/xxxholic-watanuki-kimihiro-and-ichihara.html" target="_blank">Yuuko</a>’s oldest friends and is the only one in the entire <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/search/label/xxxHolic" target="_blank">series</a> to call Yuuko “Yuuko-chan”.<br />
<br />
Isn’t <a href="http://worldcosplay.net/member/stardustalone" target="_blank">IZUMI (和泉)</a> absolutely gorgeous? I know I’m now a huge fan of hers since she cosplayed one of my favorite characters so perfectly!

Don’t you just love how they posed for this photo? <br />

Another amazing cosplay by Mikado as Kosei along with Ritsu as Kaori! I heard a lot of good things about this series, and I’ve been seeing lots of fan art from it too!

Because of this, Judy was once again reprimanded by Bogo.<br />

Despite constantly proclaiming he is is male, his feminine appearance causes a lot of confusion about his gender. Even more confusing is the fact that he later develops a crush on Kirigakure Saizo, the leader of the Sanada Ten Braves. During an illusion, Yuri is portrayed as a princess who is in love with a male servant.<br />
<br />
I was actually hoping this was a cosplay of <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2015/06/rurouni-kenshin-himura-kenshin-06.html" target="_blank">Kenshin</a>, but of course, he probably wouldn’t wear nail polish, would he? This character is very interesting though, isn’t he? I guess characters who are confusing gender-wise are very popular!<br />
<br />
If you like this cosplay, please support Taiwanese cosplayer, H, though her <a href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/amberdust/" target="_blank">Blog</a>, <a href="https://web.facebook.com/hotaru000" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and <a href="http://worldcosplay.net/member/62621" target="_blank">World Cosplay</a>!

Although his heart is in the right place, he tends to talk and act before thinking, unintentionally causing trouble or worse, putting others in danger! <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2016/02/final-fantasy-xiii-eclair-farron-aka.html" target="_blank">Lightning</a> once described Snow as “arrogant and chummy from the get-go, thinks he's everyone's pal,” and that his best quality is being “too stubborn to die.” She also compared Snow to her father, as someone who is easy-going and passionate, but unreliable.<br />
<br />
Either way, this Snow is quite handsome, don’t you agree? As usual, if anyone happens to know who the cosplayer is, please let me know so that I can credit him/her! Thanks again to Tricia for sending this in!<br />

<br />
A fiercely independent and driven young woman, <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2010/08/final-fantasy-xii-ashelia-b-dalmasca.html" target="_blank">Ashelia B’nargin Dalmasca</a> will stop at nothing to restore her family to its rightful place. Her proud facade can only be broken by memories of <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2015/03/unknown-cosplay-156.html" target="_blank">Lord Rasler</a>, as she is reminded of the wonderful memories of her youth.<br />
<br />
Although Vaan is the game’s protagonist, most of the story focuses on Ashe’s drive to accumulate the power she needs to avenge her kingdom. However, she once turned away from great power when she realized that it would corrupt her ideals.<br />
<br />
Rainer Tachibana makes such a beautiful Ashe! She has since deactivated her Deviant Art account, but if you’d like to see more of her cosplay, please visit her in <a href="https://web.facebook.com/RainerCosplay" target="_blank">Facebook</a>! Thanks to Tony for sending this in!<br />

<br />
In <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/search/label/Final%20Fantasy%20XIII-2" target="_blank">Final Fantasy XIII-2</a>, it is revealed through the Arbiter of Time that <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2014/07/final-fantasy-xiii-2-lightning-02.html" target="_blank">this Lightning</a> is only an exact copy of <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2016/02/final-fantasy-xiii-eclair-farron-aka.html" target="_blank">the actual Lightning</a> that lacks a soul. She can learn all of the elemental spells just like <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2012/08/final-fantasy-xiii-eclair-farron-aka.html" target="_blank">her original counterpart</a>, and has improved tiers in Thunder spells. One other significant difference is that <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2013/11/final-fantasy-xiii-2-lightning.html" target="_blank">this Lightning</a> can cast Curasa and Curaja as a Medic, while <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2012/05/final-fantasy-xiii-eclair-farron-aka.html" target="_blank">the original Lightning</a> could not.<br />
<br />
Doesn’t she look beautiful? Just like the character herself! If anyone happens to know who the cosplayer is, please do let me know so that I can credit her! Thanks to Tricia for sending this in!<br />

<br />
Most of you have probably seen this commercial already, but I thought I’d feature it anyway since <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2014/06/sailor-moon-tsukino-usagi-and-mizuno-ami.html" target="_blank">Usagi</a> is so cute here! Just look at that adorable grin!<br />
<br />
I’m not really sure if she’s officially cosplaying <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2007/08/sailor-stars-tsukino-usagi.html" target="_blank">Usagi</a> or not though! The second person to drink the green tea also looks like Ryu from <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/search/label/Street%20Fighter" target="_blank">Street Fighter</a> to me, but I’m even more uncertain about that!<br />
<br />
Have a look at the Kit Kat Green Tea commercial and please let me know what you think!<br />

Later that evening, while most of the staff were asleep, No-Face tempted a worker with gold. The greedy staff took the bait, only to be devoured by No-Face! He continued swallowing the other naive workers and began growing larger, causing massive damage to the bathhouse.<br />
<br />
This photo reminded me of the time I featured <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2009/09/inuyasha-sesshoumaru-55.html" target="_blank">a dog cosplaying Sesshoumaru</a>! I guess cat owners are getting into it now too? I find the Chihiro cat to be particularly adorable with that kimono! Thanks to Casey for sending this in!<br />

He is able to emit <em>chi</em> through his mouth and uses the flute to control others. Amiboshi holds the instrument to the left when he is using his powers, and to the right when he is simply playing.<br />
<br />
Under <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2016/04/fushigi-yuugi-nakago.html" target="_blank">Nakago</a>’s orders, Amiboshi impersonated Chiriko and grew close to <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2016/04/fushigi-yuugi-yuki-miaka-03.html" target="_blank">Miaka</a> and the other Suzaku warriors. He almost succeeded in killing the Suzaku warriors during their attempt to summon Suzaku, but the real Chiriko appeared and saved everyone. Amiboshi tried to escape, but <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2010/05/fushigi-yugi-yuki-miaka-02.html" target="_blank">Miaka</a> wanted to save him, claiming that anyone who plays such beautiful music cannot be evil. He later fell into the river and was presumed dead.<br />
<br />
I thought I recognized this stage actor! He is <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/search/label/Hattori%20Tsubasa" target="_blank">Hattori Tsubasa</a>, who played <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2015/02/naruto-shikamaru-nara-02.html" target="_blank">Shikimaru Nara in the Naruto Musical</a>! He is still as handsome as ever, and definitely suits the role of Amiboshi!<br />
<br />
For the fans who saw <em>Shu no Shou</em>, how was it? Was it loyal to the original manga? Did you have a favorite character?<br />

She puts order first, but she is willing to wield a sword for the sake of the rules.<br />
<br />
In Fate/Apocrypha, due to the irregularity of the Great Holy Grail War, and the continued existence of the previous Ruler from the Third Holy Grail War, Ruler was not given a spiritual body, and instead possessed a human girl named Laeticia. Because of her faith, Laeticia accepts Ruler completely, and thus, they do not share two personalities in one body, but rather, their personalities have merged into one.<br />
<br />
Isn’t Rith absolutely beautiful? It looks like Ruler has a “Lily” version like Saber too! I actually like her original look better, but this is also very beautiful!<br />

<blockquote>
The son of the Sagihara family, direct vassal of the Fushimi feudal clan in the Yamashiro Province. The Sagihara family is a descendant of <b>Amakuni</b>, a group of blacksmiths that was formed back in the Heian period. They were also guardians who protected the Five Heavenly Swords in the past. After his family was killed, he threw away his status and came to Edo. While he might look like an inexperienced young master, he knows how to get on in the world due to his vagabond journey.<br />

Such a lovely photo! Zixell is quickly becoming one of my favorite cosplayers! Her expression looks so serene. I wonder if those “fireflies” were added after the photo was taken, or if they sprinkled silver dust during the photo shoot?<br />
<br />

I know they are probably models for the Roen clothing line, but wow, Prompto looks amazing! I think many of the fans are disappointed with <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2010/01/final-fantasy-versus-xiii-noctis-lucis.html" target="_blank">Noctis</a>’ hair being blue, but he looks fantastic as well! Hopefully, we’ll get better shots of these “cosplayers” soon? Thanks to Chia for sending this in!<br />

<a href="https://web.facebook.com/FilipinoDubbedAnime/photos/a.553696207997137.1073741859.232113133488781/1194745280558890/" target="_blank"><img alt="yu yu hakusho cosplay - karasu, toguro-otouto, toguro-ani, and bui" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C_2RZ8AHzhs/VxU8cXCg4rI/AAAAAAAAQgc/a-6lk-oOjiAuu3OYGpKPq2nYtCNrnq9lgCCo/s600-Ic42/yu_yu_hakusho_-_team_toguro.jpg" title="yu yu hakusho cosplay - karasu, toguro-otouto, toguro-ani, and bui" /></a></div>
<br />
Team Toguro consists of the “human turned demon” Toguro siblings and two demons, Karasu and Bui. Karasu and Bui both lost to the Toguro brothers in battle and subsequently joined their team for the Dark Tournament. Toguro-otouto (Younger Toguro) is rated as a B-class, absolute strength demon, while is brother, Toguro-ani (Elder Toguro) is a demon shape shifter. As for <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2012/04/yu-yu-hakusho-karasu.html" target="_blank">Karasu</a>, he is a “Governor-rank” demon who can create bombs using his aura undetectable by lower level demons. Last but not least, Bui is a demon warrior who has a battle aura so immense that we wears heavy armor to suppress it.<br />
<br />
Nothing beats a classic, and this team of cosplayers definitely did a great job portraying the antagonists of <a href="http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/search/label/Yu%20Yu%20Hakusho" target="_blank">this series</a>! If anyone happens to know who the cosplayers are, please let me know so I can credit them! Thanks to Rey for sending this in!<br />

As a matter of fact, her left eyes gives her the ability to look into a person’s past and retrieve their darkest secrets by observing their artworks or their handwriting. This ability is very helpful for her brother’s work at the museum as Sera can give him unique information about deceased famous artists. However, this ability also made Sera distant from the people around her.<br />
<br />
One day, she met child prodigy, Rhiannon Estrella, and realized that she could not read any information from her at all! It was the first time Sera’s ability failed to work, which made Sera even more curious to know who Rhiannon really was! What sort of secret could a young girl be guarding so securely?<br />
<br />
Many of you might not be familiar with this character as World Canvas is a local manga published in the Philippines. Mayu Ma Cherie cosplayed Sera so well that I couldn’t resist featuring her!<br />
<br />
If you’d like to see more of Mayu’s cosplays, please visit her on <a href="https://web.facebook.com/mayu.macherie" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and support her! On the other hand, if you want to know more about the series, please visit <a href="https://web.facebook.com/Color.LES.kuru/" target="_blank">the mangaka’s Facebook, Color-LES aka Godley Malabanan</a>! Thanks again to Mayu for letting me feature this!<br />
