Sword Art Online: Alfheim Online: Sinon

sword art online - alfheim online cosplay - sinonAfter the Death Gun incident in Gun Gale Online, Lisbeth and Asuna invited Sinon to join Alfheim Online. She created a new avatar and chose the Cait Sith as it has the best eyesight among all the nine races; quite useful, considering how Sinon prefers to attack long range. The Cait Sith has cat ears and a tail, the late of which Kirito pulled as a joke during the expedition of the retrieval of the Holy Sword Excalibur.

Oh wow, that is an amazing looking Sinon! I really love the effects in this photo! It makes her look like she’s actually in the game! Thanks to Hugo for sharing this!

Naruto: Shikamaru Nara 02

naruto cosplay - shikamaru nara by hattori tsubasa

Shikamaru Nara had always been a seemingly unenthusiastic kid who preferred to watch the clouds over practically everything else. If he could, he would much rather avoid “troublesome” activities such as training and fighting. Although he claims to be “the number one coward”, he actually has a strong sense of justice, and would sacrifice himself for the sake of his comrades without a second thought.

I’m pretty sure most of you have already heard about the new Naruto Stage coming out next month in Japan, and that many of you have probably seen the cast photos everywhere, but… I thought I’d feature them one at a time anyway! A lot of my friends are swooning over Hattori Tsubaba’s portrayal of Nara, so I suppose I should feature him first. Thanks to Kotaku of sharing this!

Kuroshitsuji: Charles Grey

kuroshitsuji cosplay - charles grey by someiOne of the Queen’s private secretaries and butlers, Earl Charles Grey appears to be carefree most of the time, but he does have a short temper and a violent streak to him. He enjoys combat and has a ravenous appetite, but he is deathly afraid of ghosts and snakes. The Earl seems to have a dislike for Ciel Phantomhive, mostly referring to him as a “brat”.

Let me reintroduce Taiwanese cosplayer, Somei (染井), featured last April 2014 as Toma from Amnesia! Their profile doesn’t really say their gender, but I’m guessing Somei is female? Either way, please have a look for yourself and visit their World Cosplay and Facebook accounts. Thanks to Mahin Ahmed for sharing this!

Big Hero 6: Hiro Hamada, Cass Hamada, and Tadashi Hamada

big hero 6 cosplay - hiro hamada by jin (behindinfinity), cass hamada by kat langomez, and tadashi hamada by miguel - merkymerx

“You boys spend too much time cooped up with your robots! We’re going outside today!”

- Jin (behindinfinity) on Facebook

The overworked yet extremely supportive aunt of the brothers Tadashi and Hiro, Aunt Cass is the owner of a popular San Fransokyo Bakery and Coffee Shop. She is extremely proud of her two genius nephews, and is always ready to give them the love and support they need. She does get a little overwhelmed sometimes, quoting:

“For ten years, I’ve done the best I could to raise you. Have I been perfect? No. Do I know anything about children? No! Should I have picked up a book on parenting?! PROBABLY! Where was I going? I had a point.”

- Disney Wikia

It’s been a while since I last featured Jin and Miguel. Their latest work from Big Hero 6 has been going around the internet and I have to say, this is probably one of my favorites! Aunt Cass especially since she looks like she could dote on the boys all day! Please visit the cosplayers Facebook Pages: Jin (behindinfinity) as Hiro, Miguel – merkymerx as Tadashi, and Kat Langomez as Aunt Cass!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 58

vocaloid 2 cosplay - hatsune miku 58

わがまま 陰口 乗り過ごし
Selfish people, gossiping, missing my station
書き間違え 腹痛 怒鳴り声
Miswriting, stomachache, angry shouting
間が悪い着信 人混み
Incoming calls at the wrong time, the crowd
もうぜんぶまとめて
To all of them

お断りします お断りします 断固
No thank you, no thank you, absolutely
お断りします ご遠慮します
No thank you, leave me alone

“No Thank You”
Lyrics and Translation by Vocalochu

This song’s kinda cute for something so full of angst, haha! Anyway, isn’t this cosplay of Miku amazing? It reminds me of append for some reason. Thanks to Ellen for sending this in!

Entranced by the tales of Jolyne, Narciso Anasui later agreed to become her bodyguard out of his burning love for her. Anasui confesses to Jolyne as soon as he met her, and continued to protect her until the end of the series.

Tokyo Ghoul: Uta

tokyo ghoul cosplay - uta by lalaax

A “ghoul” or human-like creature who hunts and devours human flesh, Uta owns the Hysy ArtMask Studio in the 4th Ward. Despite his appearance, he is said to be a calm ghoul who speaks kindly and makes masks for both ghouls and human customers alike. Although he is friends with Yomo Renji, he used to get into a lot of fights with him which caused the 4th ward to become uninhabitable.

Meet Chinese cosplayer, LALAax! She has one of the most amazing galleries I’ve seen! Please visit her in Facebook, Deviant Art, World Cosplay, Cure, or Weibo! Thanks to Kise for sharing this!

Sword Art Online: Alfheim Online: Yui and Titania (Asuna)

sword art online - alfheim online cosplay - yui and titania / asuna

Yui is an artificial intelligence designed to monitor the emotions and mental health of the players in Sword Art Online. Kirito saved her from being deleted by Cardinal by converting and storing her data into his own NerveGear. She later appears in Alfheim Online as a Private Navigation Pixie and helped Kirito locate Asuna. Yui refers to Kirito and Asuna her “Papa” and “Mama” respectively, as they consider Yui their first “daughter” as well.

Well, isn’t this the most adorable thing you’ve ever come across? It’s cute how Yui gets annoyed at anyone coming between Kirito and Asuna. Thanks to Frosty for sharing this!

会いたいな 会えないな せつないな この気持ち
I want to see you, but I can't... How sad, these feelings...
言えないの 言いたいの
I can't say it, but I want to.
チャンス逃してばかり
I just keep letting my chance slip by.

だって だって
But still, but still
翼広げ二人で
Together, let’s spread our wings and
空をマラャ刀@夢をユニゾンしたい
marathon across the sky; I want our dreams to be in unison

“Catch You, Catch Me”
Lyrics and Translation by Anime Lyrics

Isn’t she cute? Among all of Sakura’s outfits, this is probably the most iconic and most easily recognizable! I think I might actually like this one the best too, next to the kimono she wore in that episode where her brother, Toya, gave his powers to Yue. Thanks again to Laura for sending this in!

Kuroshitsuji: Sebastian Michaelis and Ciel Phantomhive 04

kuroshitsuji / black butler cosplay - sebastian michaelis and ciel phantomhive 4

溶けたのやっかいな 氷みたいな私を
I’m troublesome after I melted like ice
優しくすくって 上唇で遊ぶ
You tenderly scoop me up and and toy around with me with your lips

それでもひとつの愛の形を探す
Nevertheless, I search for a single form of love
遠くよりも今を結んだ 枯れた瞳は
My dried eyes tied it to the present rather than a time far beyond
できればこのまま 包まれて終わりたい
If I can, I want to end while shrouded this like
二人で秘めた 淡い肌 月も隠れてる
Together, we concealed our pale selves; the moon is hiding, too

“Monochrome Kiss”
Lyrics and Translation by Words of Songs

I don’t know about this cosplay… it makes me nervous posting it here in blogspot, but oh well! If Google tells me to, then I’ll just take it down! Anyway, I thought the opening theme of the first season was appropriate to go with the photo! Thanks to Clara for sending this in!

Kamigami no Asobi: Anubis Ma’at

kamigami no asobi cosplay - anubis ma'at by shion

The Egyptian God of the Dead, Anubis is a shy deity who rarely appears in public. He does, however, have a curious side to him, and thus hides in the shadows most of the time. He prefers the company of animals because he feels closer to them and they have no sin. Anubis also tends to speak unique words that only Thoth can understand.

I haven’t seen Kamigami no Asobi yet, but I think Shion did a great job on Anubis! And I really think this cosplay could use a lot more views and faves, so please do visit Shion’s World Cosplay Account and give her your support!
