Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Trailer

I was quite skeptical about this piece of news when I first heard about it. However, after viewing this 40 second trailer, I’ve realized that this possibly has all the ingredients of a very epic movie.

And they also have an all star cast:

• Sato Takeru as Himura Kenshin
• Takei Emi as Kamiya Kaoru
• Eguchi Yosuke as Saitou Hajime
• Kagawa Teruyuki as Takeda Kanryuu
• Kikkawa Kouji as Udou Jine
• Aoki Munetaka as Sagara Sanosuke
• Taketo Tanaka as Myoujin Yahiko
• Aoi Yuu as Takani Megumi

Although I have to admit, this is rather confusing. Saitou Hajime was introduced during Shishio Makoto’s arc, not Udou Jine’s. Further more, Takeda Kanryuu is the antagonist of Takani Megumi’s arc which was also before Shishio’s. This leaves me to wonder how they’ll add Saitou to the mix… Could this movie’s ending be left hanging as an intro for a second movie? There have been talks of Warner Bros. Japan wanting to turn this into a series…

Now I can’t wait for 2012.

Yu Yu Hakusho: Yukina

An ice maiden and twin sister to Hiei, Yukina escaped to the human world when she found out about her brother who was cast from the Ice Kingdom. During her search, she was captured by Tarukane Gonzo of the Black Black Club, where she was tortured for her precious crystal tears. She then hardened her heart to prevent herself from crying, even under extreme torture.

A very captivating cosplay by Yuuki of Yuuki & Yuumi (ゆうき＆ゆうみ)! I think Yukina is one of my favorite characters from the series, only third to Genkai and Kurama. Thanks to Mina for sending this in!

Sailor Moon: Sailor Moon and Zoisite

On the 29th episode of Sailor Moon, Zoisite and Kunzite (Malachite) came up with the perfect plan to obtain the Rainbow Crystals from Tuxedo Mask. Zoisite disguised himself as Sailor Moon, and Kunzite “captured” her in order to make Tuxedo Mask come to her rescue. Would they succeed before the other Sailor Senshi can figure out who the fake Sailor Moon really is?

I’m actually not sure. I can’t remember how that episode ended! But I never thought anyone would cosplay as Zoisite “cosplaying” Sailor Moon! Thanks to Tamara for sending this!

Oh, and yeah, Zoisite is actually a man in the original Japanese anime. He’s a girl in several other languages though!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for pointing out that Sailor Moon is cosplayed by Saraqael! Sara has confirmed that this is her cosplay, but her girlfriend does not have a website that I can link her to at the moment. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

Naruto: Gaara 03

A ninja affiliated with Sunagakure, Gaara is the son of the village leader, the Fourth Kazekage. When he was only a fetus, his father attempted to turn him into a human weapon by placing a tailed beast into him, and he was ostracized by the Sunagakure villagers. As a result, Gaara became a ruthless killer, slaying others without remorse, and treating his siblings Kankuro and Temari with contempt.

Awesome cosplay by Hayate (疾風)! I think she was able to capture the character perfectly, wouldn’t you agree? Character requested by tiranical!

Rozen Maiden: Suiseiseki 06

WARNING: This article contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk!

In order to return to their world, Souseiseki, who was brought back to life thanks to her sister’s sacrifice, convinced Suigintou to return the Rosa Mystica to their rightful owners. Suigintou agreed, which in turn allowed Suiseiseki to come back to life. Together, they managed to restore order to both worlds.

Cute cosplayer! I guess Suiseiseki is still really popular, given that she is the “desu girl”. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Vocaloid 3: SeeU

The first Vocaloid capable of singing in both Japanese and Korean, SeeU’s voice was provided by artist Kim Dahi of the K-pop girl band “Glam”. Her voice is light-hearted, but considered to be quite difficult to use compared to her predecessors. She made her first appearance on the 30th of August 2011, but her official release was not until the 21st of October 2011.

Cute cosplay of a brand new Vocaloid! Unfortunately, the character design reminds me too much of Miku. But maybe that’s just me?

By the way, I just got back from Hong Kong, so expect some late posts among other things going wrong in Cosplay Holic for the next few days! I apologize in advance for the trouble! Thank you so much for your patience!

Shugo Chara!: Hinamori Amu 02

As a member of the student council, Hinamori Amu took up the Guardian position of Joker. Her task is to search for and purify X Eggs, X Characters as well as Mystery Eggs. Her Guardian Characters, Ran, Miki, and Su, help Amu with her task through a process called Character Transformation, which is enabled by the Humpty Lock and grants Amu special abilities depending on the guardian character.

Cute cosplay! She even has the eggs on her belt and her leg warmers are so adorable! Thanks again to Yukino for sending this in!

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai: Kashiwazaki Sena

The wealthy blond daughter of the school’s head teacher, Sena has a dislike of all things that are “ordinary” in her opinion. Although both attractive and academically successful, her arrogance only led her to be disliked by her female peers. She also has a tendency to treat her male classmates as servants to be used, although many of them would like to be her boyfriend. Hasegawa Kodaka is the only person she holds to a higher standard.

Cute cosplay by Asae Ayato! I really love the butterfly pin she has on her hair. Thanks to Teal for sending this in!

LovePlus / Arakawa Under the Bridge: Takane Manaka and Nino

Alright guys, here’s another “unknown” for you, because I’ve given up trying to figure this one out.

I know the girl on the left is Takane Manaka from LovePlus, but as for the other girl(?) beside her, I’m about as clueless as it gets. There’s not a lot of information with regards to this game, so she might be a minor character unlisted in wikipedia. Then again, she could just as easily be from a completely different series.

So how about it? Any ideas? Thanks to Yuri for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to satori-chan for letting me know this is Nino from Arakawa Under the Bridge!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Nene and Kolko

Some time before World War II approached, China and Russia wound up on the same side. For some reason, Russia stalked China frequently and was also often partnered with him. Russia’s “special interest” in China is one of the reasons for his extreme paranoia.

China’s female version is often nicknamed “Nene” or “Wang Chun-Yan”. Russia’s female version, on the other hand, has several nicknames including Kolko, Lucy, Roshiko, Anya Braginskaya, Ivanna, Inna, and Irina.

I’ll just use Nene and Kolko for Cosplay Holic. What do you guys think? Thanks again to Yukino for sending this in!

Fate/Stay Night: Saber 08

Arturia Pendragon ruled Britain from her stronghold in Camelot and earned a reputation of a just, yet distant king. She was guided by Merlin and supported by her Knights of the Round Table; giving her the wisdom and power to guide Britain into an era of peace and tranquility.

When her sword Caliburn was destroyed, she acquired her holy sword, Excalibur, and blessed sheath, Avalon, from Vivian. While Avalon was in her possession, Arturia did not age and became immortal in battle.

Awesome Saber by Amazon Mandy! There are several photos of her as Saber in her personal webpage, so please do pay her a visit and give her your support! Thanks to Ernest for sending this in!

Macross Frontier: Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome 02

On the Macross timeline, Macross Frontier is set in the year 2059; that’s 47 years after the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross, 19 years after Macross Plus, and 14 years after Macross 7. The series featured the 25th New Macross-class Colonial Fleet, dubbed the “Macross Frontier”, en route to the galactic center. The heavily populated interstellar fleet contained a makeup of both humans and their Zentradi allies.

Cute cosplayers from Comiket 78! Can someone please tell me what Ranka is holding? I’ve yet to actually watch this series. Thanks to Uzuri for sending this in!
