Saint Seiya: Pisces Albafica

Albafica is a quiet man who appears to prefer solitude than the company of others. In reality, he is a kind person who does his best to avoid others in order to protect them from his poisonous blood. Prolonged exposure to the Demon Roses, as well as the ritual of Red Ribbons of Blood with his teacher, forces those of Pisces to live their lives in isolation, thus giving Albafica a cold image.

This cosplayer is really pretty, wouldn’t you agree? This series is really making me curious though… I remember having an officemate who was a big fan of Saint Seiya that he had the entire cast’s figures displayed on his desk!

Maybe I’ll give the manga a read after my deadlines… Thanks to LOLWHAT11 for sharing this!

I’ll: Hiiragi Hitonari

Hiiragi Hitonari was kicked out of his house after he decided that he would not go to the school where his father coaches at. As he is a very talented basketball player in his own right, he wanted to step out of his brother’s shadow, who was already a star player. He is described to be a “thoroughbred” player who is good in every aspect of the game, and is thus given the position as Point Guard.

Hiiragi’s probably my favorite from the series… possibly because of his white hair. I have a soft spot for white-haired guys. Thanks again to TsukiHiro for sharing this!

“Sanctuary”
Lyrics by Uta Map
Translation by ☽ Moonlit Sanctuary ☾

Doesn’t this cosplay of Hijikawa Masato remind you of summer? I don’t like hot weather very much, but it looks like Masato doesn’t mind.

Constantine: Gabriel

After exorcising a girl possessed by a demon soldier trying to break through to Earth, John Constantine seeks an audience with the androgynous half-breed angel Gabriel. John asked Gabriel to heal him of his lung cancer, but Gabriel declines, telling John that his motives for exorcising demons are selfish and that it will not grant him entry into Heaven. It is later revealed that Gabriel laments God’s favoritism towards humans and planned to release Lucifer’s son, Mammon, let him claim Earth as his own kingdom.

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Len 24

昔々の　そのまた昔
Once upon a time, a very long time ago
とある貴族の　仲良しな兄弟
There was a close pair, sibling of high nobility
（以下略称）
The rest I’ll leave omitted

「ちゃんとやれ！」
“Do it properly!”

じいやが呼ぶ　席につけ　よーいどん！
The butler calls out “Ascend to the throne! Ready, set, go!”.
ナイフとフォークで　応戦いたしますの
I humbly accept the challenge with a knife and fork
だって僕らは　ブルジョアの
After all, we are bourgeois,
立派な　立派な　貴族様なんですですの
Splendid, utterly splendid aristocrats, yes we are

“Childish War”
Lyrics and Translation by Vocaloid Lyrics

It’s been a while since I last featured Len by himself and this cosplayer makes an adorable one, wouldn’t you agree? I think that’s Rin in the foreground, but since it’s really blurred, I think I’ll just write Len’s name on the title. Thanks to D-Loveless for sharing this!

Shingeki no Kyojin: Hanji Zoe and Sonny

Hanji Zoe is the person in charge of the experimentation of the captured titans, which she nicknamed “Sonny” and “Bean”. She and her team performed a number of experiments on them, including testing their response to communication, injury, and sunlight deprivation. Although they had more tests planned, but the two titans were killed by an unknown assailant, who was later revealed to be Annie Leonhart.

Hanji is one of my favorite characters in the series, and apparently, Isayama Hajime has told his editors that Hanji’s gender is up to the readers’ interpretation! In the anime, she’s clearly female, but that was never really confirmed or denied in the manga!

Just a little something to think about for today. Thanks to Orihime Shiffer for sharing this!

Ao no Exorcist: Okumura Yukio 03

Okumura Yukio and his older twin brother Rin, are often seen arguing, but they do care about each other quite a lot. Yukio often berates Rin for his impulsiveness, but the truth is, Yukio is afraid that his brother would be consumed by his demonic powers. In the anime, Yukio eventually becomes a demon himself just like his brother, but in the manga, he attains “Satan’s Eyes”, but it was never explained what this ability entails.

I really do love characters with glasses, don’t you? It makes them look intelligent, and fans of this series all know how smart Yukio is. Thanks to Robins for sending this in!

I’ll: Tachibana Akane

Tachibana Akane joined the Kouzu Basketball Club because his rival, Hiiragi Hitonari, inspired him to play once more after he joined the same school. He is often seen drinking flavored milk as he believed this will help him grow taller. Despite his height, however, he proves to be a talented basketball player. His position in the team is Forward.

I’ve been researching a bunch of basketball manga lately since one of my series revolves around the sport. “I’ll” has been pretty interesting so far, and I think I might actually like it better than Slam Dunk. Thanks to TsukiHiro for sharing this!

Hell Girl: Enma Ai 03

闇に惑いし哀れな影よ
Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness
...人を傷付け貶めて
bringing torment and pain to others
罪に溺れし業の魂
Oh damned soul wallowing in your sins
いっぺん... 死んで見る？
How would you like to see what death is like?

I had just finished watching Hell Girl when I came upon this photo of Jin. It’s almost scary how she can cosplay beautiful heroines as well as handsome guys. I really hope I’ll get to meet her one day. Thanks to troy323 for sharing this!

Berserk: Guts 02

The main protagonist of Berserk, Guts was the former raid unit leader of a mercenary group known as the Band of the Hawk. He has the most complex personality in the entire series, but it could also be said that this makes him the most “human” among all the characters introduced. However, he does possess titanic strength, and is thus regarded by many as the personification of endurance and human willpower.

I love how detailed this cosplay is! Especially how his armor looks weathered down as if he had been to many battles and survived! Thanks to epeyepey for sharing this!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Reno and Tifa Lockhart

Nemurenu yoru o ikutsu kazoetara ore-tachi tadoritsuku darou
I wonder how many sleepless nights you have to count before you can find your way,
Doredake no inochi nakushita toki arasoi wa owaru no darou
After how many lives are lost, will the strife end?
Rekishi no ue wa korogaru dake no sukuenai doukeshi-tachi
Clowns that cannot be saved, just tumbling atop of history.
Itsuka dareka ga itteta youni kotae wa kaze no naka
Like someone once said before; the answer is in the wind.

“Calling”

We’ve seen these two cosplayers before… Tifa in 2009 and Reno in 2008, but since we still have no idea who the cosplayers are, maybe featuring them again will help us find out. Thanks to Dancing Monkay for sharing this!
