Vampire Knight: Shiki Senri 03

Apathetic and a follower by nature, Shiki Senri is described as a quiet “doll” who kept out of trouble in order to keep his mentally ill mother from worrying about him. He became attached to Ichijou Takuma who always encourages Senri to try new things. After being used by his father, Kuran Rido, to hurt the people he cares about, including Touya Rima, Senri began to stand up for himself and gained a bit more self-respect.

Another amazing cosplay by KumaQi! I always thought Shiki was an interesting character from the very beginning. I just wish he had a bigger role in the series. Thanks again to Mai for sending this in!

Big Hero 6: Tadashi Hamada

“I will leave these Baymax's for you guys, they will take care of you specially during your mood swings. And please hug it whenever you miss me.”

That’s not a movie quote, but a Liui quote in his portrayal of Tadashi from Big Hero 6! I thought it was pretty amazing how such a simple character could be cosplayed so well! Liui got Tadashi’s look down perfectly, and I wouldn’t mind having a Baymax plushie myself. Thanks to Jenlyn for sending this in!

Rage on,

眩しい光
brilliant light

鋭く目を背ける一瞬へ
Stay sharp and turn your eyes to the moment

the sun is blazing on my flavor
lost nowhere else to be
what I want -

求めたモノは何だ?
what is it that I wished for?

find delight in this silence

“Rage On”
Lyrics and Translation by Anime Lyrics

Aren’t they cute? I haven’t featured Lenneth XVII in a while, so I though I’d give their page a visit. Please support the cosplayers, Lenneth XVII as Makoto and Yuks General as Haruka!

Vocaloid 2: Kamui Gakupo 10

捕われた行き場のない心 動けなくなる
Captured, with nowhere to escape, my heart has become immobile.
自分の感情(キモチ)さえ見えない 目を背けてる
Unable to see even my own emotions, I turn my eyes away.
手のひらに包まれている蝶のように
The wings held in my palm are like butterflies,
飛びたくても飛べない翅が
wanting to fly but are unable to do so.

「都合のいいように生きればいいよ」
“You should just live your life to your convenience.”
「苦しいなんて言わせないから」
“I will never make you have to say you're suffering.”

耳元で聞こえる誘惑
I hear these kinds of temptations at the base of my ears.

“Paranoid Doll”
Lyrics and Translation by Anime Lyrics

Japanese cosplayer Xesta makes a lovely Gakupo! Paranoid doll is easily one of my most favorite Vocaloid songs… probably because of Gackt’s voice. I wonder if he painted that butterfly on his face or maybe… a sticker? Thanks to Clara Mae for sending this in!

Kamigami no Asobi: Loki Laevatein

The Norse God of Fire, Loki Laevatein is a mischievous god who loves playing tricks on everyone. Because of this, most people avoided him when he was young, save for Balder who still befriended Loki despite his troublesome personality. Loki is said to be quite a lazy god, but would go all out on something that interests him.

Chinese cosplayer, Nia Mello, looks wonderful as Loki! I actually thought this was Otoya at first, but it’s a good thing I found her World Cosplay account! Thanks to Mika for sending this in!

Ao Haru Ride: Mabuchi Kou and Yoshioka Futaba

In junior high, Yoshioka Futaba was ostracized by the other girls because too many boys liked her. She only liked one boy, however, and that was Tanaka Kou, who moved away before she could even tell him how she felt.

Now in high school, Futaba is determined to be as unladylike as possible so that her new friends would not become jealous of her. Coincidentally, she meets Kou again, now using the name “Mabuchi Kou”, who tells her that he too, liked her in junior high, but feels differently now.

“Feels differently”, and yet this photo says otherwise! They look like they’re having fun together, isn’t that adorable? It makes you wonder what they saw up there. Thanks to Jenny for sending this in!

Meitantei Conan: Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran

Kudo Shinichi is a 17-year-old high school student who is a brilliant detective known to have closed cases that professionals could not. After going to a theme park with his childhood friend, Mori Ran, Shinichi followed two suspicious characters, Gin and Vodka, suspecting that they were criminals. Gin then attacked Shinichi and forced him to drink an experimental poison, APTX 4869 and left him for dead. Fortunately, a rare side effect of the drug caused Shinichi’s age to regress, shrinking him to the form of a child.

Chinese cosplayers KumaQi熊祁 and 真宵Mayoiii certainly look the part of Shinichi and Ran, and they managed to get those impossible hairstyles right too! I wonder how they look in another angle? Thanks to Mai for sharing this!

Shingeki no Kyojin: Eren Jeager 03

Eren has been overprotective of his friends and family ever since he was a child. Armin was his only friend and Eren never hesitated taking on the bullies who would make fun of him. He even brutally slaughtered the human traffickers who captured Mikasa in order to rescue her, even though they had never met before. After losing his mother to a titan, and losing contact with his father, his overprotectiveness intensified and he vowed to kill all the Titans with the Survey Corps.

You’ve probably seen this already, but I have to say, these character posters for the live action Shingeki no Kyojin movie look amazing! I’m a little worried about how the effects will be 3D Maneuver Gear, but I still can’t wait to see this!

What do you think of Miura Haruma playing the role of Eren Jeager? Remember, he’s the same guy who played Kazehaya from the live action Kimi ni Todoke movie. Quite a different role for him, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks to Karen for sending this in!

The musical is scheduled to perform at the Hakuhinkan Theater in Tokyo from January 21-25, 2015. Among those listed in the cast are:

I’d love to watch this myself, but I don’t live in Japan and I can’t understand Japanese! It would be nice if there were subtitles available in the live performance, much like Chinese musical I watched here in Manila. I wonder if Rima and Ruka will make an appearance here? Anyway, thanks to ちびめち for sharing this!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 55

大胆不敵にハイカラ革命
After a bold and audacious Westernization revolution,
磊々落々（らいらいらくらく）反戦国家
this is now an open and upright anti-war nation.
日の丸印の二輪車転がし
As I pedal forward my bicycle marked with the Japanese flag,
悪霊退散　ICBM
evil spirits will disperse from my intercontinental ballistic missiles.

環状線を走り抜けて　東奔西走なんのその
Looping the belt line, I don't care if I'm constantly on the move.
少年少女戦国無双　浮世の随（まにま）に
Boys and girls must be unrivaled during the warring era, in the floating world.

“Senbonzakura” (Thousands of Cherry Trees)
Lyrics and Translation by Anime Lyrics

Remember Teru Terumii, the Indonesian cosplayer who played Alice from Pandora Hearts? I decided to give her blog a visit and was happy to see her version of Hatsune Miku’s Senbonzakura! I think this suits her quite well, wouldn’t you agree?

If you like her work, please support her through Facebook too! Thank you very much!

Kamigami no Asobi: Balder Hringhorni

Balder Hringhorni is the Norse God of Light who is described to be a cheerful, yet somewhat clumsy god. He cannot be harmed as his mother Frigg made a pact with all objects on earth not to harm him, with the exception of mistletoes. He has been friends with Thor Megingjard and Loki Laevatein ever since they were children.

This looks amazing! The cosplayer looks absolutely beautiful! I wonder who she could be? Thanks to Marie for sharing this!

Sword Art Online: Asuna 07

夢で高く跳んだ躰は
Jumping high from my dreams
どんな不安纏っても振り払っていく
No matter what sort of anxiety clinging upon me, I’ll go ahead and shake it off
眠る小さな想い拡がり出して
Expand and bring out that sleeping, small little thought
気付く弱い私君がいれば
I realize that I'm weak and if you're here

暗い世界強くいれた
You give strength to the darkness of this world
長い夢見る心はそう永遠で
My heart seems to be looking at a long dream forever
