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!

Vocaloid 3: Aoki Lapis

眠れぬ夜　君を浮かべた
Sleepless night, I think of you
夢の中で　また会えるように
So we can meet in a dream again
この世界で　つながる意味を
Meaning of relating in this world
探していた　宇宙の果てで
I was looking for it, at the end of the universe

その手に触れた
I touched your hand...

(Fly into daydream)

誰も知らない場所
Place where nobody knows
君だけを　つれてくよ　真っ白な　時の中へ
I take you there, into pure white time

願いが遂げた　夜空を泳いだ
Wish melted in the night sky, I swam there
流れ星　一粒　輝いて　はじけた
Piece of shooting star shines and splits
想いは巡り　永遠の風になる　そう　今
Over the thoughts turn into eternal wind. Yes, now,
時を越えて
beyond the time

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka

Source: Picasa

見つめ合うのは魅かれ合っているからでしょう
There is a mutual fascination between us as we gazed at each other.
あなたの背中に決して消えない傷跡を残したい
I didn’t want to leave a permanent scar on your back.
一人泣いていたの
All alone, I cried…
この手を汚しても手に入れたい
As I also wanted to soil those hands.

“Rondo of the Sun and Moon”
Lyrics by Vocalochu
Translation by Kurohiko

Another amazing Vocaloid cosplay by Tasha and Tomia! Forgive the crude translation, my Japanese is not very good, but I couldn’t find an English translation online! I hope it’s about right though! Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

翳（かげ）る雲隠れの　月に惑わされ
Muddled by the darkening moon hidden in the clouds,
闇を駆けて消える　一筋の希望
My only ray of hope runs through the darkness and disappears.
君の姿さえも　上手く描けずに
Not even able to make out your figure and features,
乱れていく風の　行方追いかける
I chase after the whereabouts of the disheveling wind.

“Knife”
Lyrics and Translation by: Anime Lyrics

Another amazing photo by Korean cosplayers, Tomia, Tasha, and Ren! Looks like they really went all out for the fabric choices in this cosplay. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Yumekui Merry: Merry Nightmare

Source: Anime d’erGuiri

A dream demon from the Dreamworld, Merry Nightmare allegedly came into the real world 10 years prior to the story without her memories. Unlike the other dream demons, she has a body of her own, which means that she doesn’t need to possess a human to enter the real world. While searching for the door to the Dreamworld, she she accidentally fell on Fujiwara Yumeji, a human who can predict what kind of dreams others will have, and decided to help her in finding her way back home.

Another cute cosplay from Korean cosplayer Tomia! With those little triangles by the corner of her eyes, this character reminds me of the goddesses in Ah! Megami-Sama! Thanks to Jenny for sending this in!

THE iDOLM@STER 2 Cast

An arcade and console raising simulation game, The Idolmaster 2 follows the lives of girls trying to realize their dreams of becoming famous. The game was first released exclusively in Japan by Namco on the 26th of July 2005, and later on Xbox 360 on the 25th of January 2007.

I’m pretty sure Tomia, Tasha, and Eki are there, but I’m not sure who the other girls are and which characters they are cosplaying as. Maybe someone can name them properly? Thanks to Kline for sharing this!

Katanagatari: Togame

A self-entitled strategist, Togame arrived on the island Yasuri Shichika resides in order to seek his help in finding the final twelve swords forged by Shikizaki Kiki. Her father, Hida Takahito, was actually killed by Shichika’s father, but Togame believes that people who work for love can be trusted the most, which is why she tells Shichika to fall for her. Togame’s real name was revealed to be Princess Yousha.

Pretty cosplay by the lovely Korean cosplayer, Gongju Tomia! I wonder if she goes to a studio to get her photos taken? She has a lot of different backdrops for her cosplays! Thanks to Gilbert for suggesting this!

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Panty Anarchy and Stocking Anarchy

When the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, were kicked out of heaven for bad behavior, they are sent to Daten City in order to collect Heaven Coins to regain entrance to Heaven. Panty is quite rude and aggressive, almost an exact opposite to Stocking who is generally more level-headed and intelligent. Panty does not take her Ghost-hunting duties as seriously as Stocking does, preferring other earthly pleasures before she returns to heaven.

Beautiful cosplay by legendary Korean duo, Tasha and Tomia! I really love their matching poses and gorgeous wigs! Thanks to Alberstein for sending this!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter, Dead Master, and Black Gold Saw

I thought the previous posts of Black Gold Saw, Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master looked similar. In a good way, because apparently, the three cosplayers were shooting in the same studio! Absolutely breath-taking work!

If only we knew who the cosplayers were. Thanks to Fillet’s Minion for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Anon for letting me know Black Rock Shooter's cosplayer is Tasha from Cure!

EDIT2: Thanks to Fang Shinobi for adding the other cosplayers' names as Tomia and Eki!
