Angel Beats!: Yui 04

顔を合わしたら喧嘩してばかり
If we see each other’s faces, we always fight.
それもいい思い出だった
That’s a good memory too.

きみが教えてくれたんだ もう恐くない
You taught me that; I’m not afraid anymore.
どんな不自由でも幸せは掴める だから
No matter what kind of impairment I may have, I can grasp happiness. That’s why…

ひとりでもゆくよ 例え辛くても
Even if I’m alone, I’ll go, even if it’s difficult.
きみと見た夢は 必ず持ってくよ
I’ll definitely bring the dream I had with you.
きみとがよかった ほかの誰でもない
I’m glad it was with you, and nobody else.
でも目覚めた朝 きみは居ないんだね
But when I woke up in the morning, you weren’t there.

“The Best Treasure”

Anime Lyrics

This is probably my most favorite photo of her as Yui! Do you guys recognize this cosplayer? I used to tag her under a different name, but now she’s created a cosplayer’s account on Facebook. Her name is Aze, and she cosplayed Isanami from Brave 10 and Rei Kuassary from Karma! Please continue to support her!

Angel Beats!: Nakamura Yuri 05

When Nakamura Yuri was still alive, she was the eldest of four children in the Nakamura household. One night, her parents went out and left the children to Yuri’s care, and burglars came in looking for valuables and money. The burglars had no idea where the valuables were stored, and with Yurippe being the eldest, they interrogated her hoping to find anything they could get their hands on. They told her to bring them something or else they would kill one of her younger siblings every ten minutes.

Her story made me cringe a lot when I was watching the series, but I still wondered how she ended up dying herself. In any case, this is another photo I took from Oh No! Manga Cosplay Camp 2012, and my camera somehow captured a nice lens flare by Yurippe’s hair which gives this photo quite a nice effect! I only wish I had blurred the background since you can see Erza Scarlet on the top right corner posing for another photographer!

Well, I hope the cosplayer likes how this photo turned out anyway. If you have any idea who the cosplayer is, feel free to let me know!

Angel Beats!: Iwasawa Masami 02

泣いてる君こそ孤独な君こそ
You may be crying, you may be lonely
正しいよ人間らしいよ
But that's perfect--that's what human is
落とした涙がこう言うよ
The tears you shed say
こんなにも美しい嘘じゃない本当の僕らをありがとう
Thank you for giving life to us--beautiful, honest, and real

So awesome! I really do love this character very much, and I hope she was able to sing the songs she loves in her second life. Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: TK

A mysterious character who wears a large bandanna over his eyes, TK tends to break out in dance every so often, but no one really knows his past. He speaks in semi-nonsensical English phrases depending on the situation, mainly quoted from pop culture, but does not know English fluently. He saves the team many times, carrying Browning Hi-Power and LAR Grizzly handguns or a PP-19 Bizon submachine gun during missions.

This is probably the most awesome Angel Beats cosplay ever featured in Cosplay Holic! It’s pretty much as perfect as you can get. Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Tachibana Kanade

Better known as Tenshi or “Angel”, Kanade is the student council president who is burdened with the responsibility to suppress delinquency and other disruptive activities that the SSS team does. Yuri initially thought that Kanade was the head of the NPCs in the Afterlife School because she rarely shows any outward emotions and has a tendency of talking bluntly. She is personally dedicated to help other pass on.

She’s so cute and tiny, just like the character! And there are even “students” behind her which sets up this shot nicely. Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Yui and Hinata Hideki

Although Hinata Hideki initially found Yui to be very annoying, they actually care deeply about one another. Yui often pesters him about anything she can think of and Hinata would usually ignore or shout back at her. Hinata later finds out that one of Yui’s regrets in her life was that she wasn’t able to get married, and Hinata helped her pass on by promising to marry her even if she was still paralyzed when they are reincarnated.

I find this photo to be so cute, especially knowing the relationship these two had, it’s just perfect. I really do hope they find each other again in their second lives. I only wish I knew who Kousaka Yun was cosplaying with. Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Iwasawa Masami

苛立ちをどこにぶつけるか探してる間に終わる日
My days end as I'm trying to find where to vent my irritation
空は灰色をしてその先は何も見えない
The sky is gray, I can't see anything beyond
常識ぶってる奴が笑ってる 次はどんな嘘を言う?
People who act like they have common sense are laughing; what kind of lie will they tell next?
それで得られたもの 大事に飾っておけるの?

How can they treasure what they obtain with those lies?
でも明日へと進まなきゃならない
But we've got to move ahead, toward tomorrow
だからこう歌うよ
So I'm going to sing like this

Beautiful cosplay of one of my favorite characters from Angel Beats! It’s too bad we didn’t get to see more of her from the anime. I think I might like her a bit more that Yui. Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Shiina 02

Before joining the SSS, Shiina lived in the deepest underground level, a place not yet controlled by the guild. Yuri and Noda refer to Shiina as the “underground” or the “final” boss, because their first meeting resulted in bloodshed. Shiina also attacked Oyama, Cha, and Hinata relentlessly and the group was only able to escape her wrath by returning to the Afterlife School where they regrouped and planned a counter-attack.

Cute cosplay! But with that look in her eyes, I don’t think I’d want to mess with her either. Thanks to anon for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Yui 02

Despite being hyperactive and sometimes childish, Yui can also be “jokingly” rude to her colleagues, and even throw trash talk to Hinata and the others. Her upbeat personality may have stemmed from her being paralyzed from the neck down due to a car accident when she was still alive. Although it is unknown how she died, it can be assumed that her body somehow broke down in some way.

Very cute Yui! Even her pose seems to scream hyperactivity, but she’s missing her signature shackle bracelets! Thanks to anon for sending this!

Angel Beats!: Sekine Shiori

The bassist of Girls Dead Monster, Sekine Shiori tends to abruptly improvise during performances, much to Hisako's chagrin. She likes playing pranks on people just to see the surprised looks on their faces. She plays a G&L L-2000 bass guitar.

Awesome cosplay by Rinami! The cosplayer actually looks familiar... I may need to look through my files to see if I missed tagging her photos on Cosplay Holic. Thanks to Warren for sending this!

Angel Beats!: Nakamura Yuri 04

When Yuri's parents stepped out of the house, a group of robbers broke in to steal whatever commodities they could. Failing to find anything of value, they turned to Yuri, as she was the eldest of the four children, and threatened to kill each of her siblings at 10 minute intervals if she does not cooperate with them.

It is still unknown how Yuri died, but she confessed to Otonashi Yuzuru that she was certain no one who commits suicide makes it into the afterlife.

Great cosplay by Michan Lim! Although she sent this to me together with Nichan’s cosplay of Shiina, I wanted to make sure that I don’t flood Cosplay Holic with Angel Beats! Thanks again to Michan for sharing this with us!

Angel Beats!: Shiina

A female ninja who specializes in dual-wielding kodachi and shuriken, Shiina rarely speaks, but is well-known for her remark “how shallow-minded” which she uses whenever something obvious or stupid is said. Despite her serious demeanor, she has a weakness for cute things and can be very self-critical when she fails. She can sense danger coming and is a highly capable fighter.

Philippine cosplayer Nichan Solano makes an excellent Shiina! Really love the setting and lighting of this photo. Thanks to Michan for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Nakamura Yuri 03

Highly skilled with guns and hand-to-hand combat, Yurippe has been seen carrying a silver Beretta 92, TDI Vector, CheyTac Intervention, and M4 carbine with a drum magazine. She is an effective leader with a determined personality, making good decisions with SSS’ operations. She later regrets fighting with student council president, Tachibana Kanade, because she felt she could have been great friends with her.

Expert cosplayer Ayano Yuura makes an excellent Yurippe! It appears this anime is quite popular despite earlier criticisms regarding the animation quality. Thanks to Visa for sending this!

Angel Beats!: Nakamura Yuri 02

When she was still alive, Nakamura Yuri lost her 3 younger siblings to burglars who were looking for valuables inside their home. She never forgave herself and vowed to fight against God, creating an organization known as the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS) which literally means “Afterlife War Front”. She is an effective leader of the organization, caring a lot for its members like a second family.

Beautiful cosplay! And now that I’ve read more about the character, Angel Beats! seems like a really good series. Thanks again to Aila for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Yui

Initially an assistant to the band “Girls Dead Monster”, Yui is hyperactive and talks extremely fast. Hinata finds this very annoying and often argues with Yui, but they truly care about one another, convinced that if they had met before they died, they would have fallen in love with each other. She wears shackle bracelets, a devil tail, and wings that make her look like an imp or devil.

So cute! I really like the series’ design for their uniforms. I wonder what her shackles are made of? Thanks again to Sammie for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Nakamura Yuri

Also known as “Yurippe”, Nakamura Yuri has a determined personality who is smart and decisive when making operations. She invited Otonashi Yuzuru to join SSS, an organization she founded and leads which fights against God. She carries a silver Beretta 92 and is not only skillful with a gun, but is also very capable in close range hand-to-hand combat.

I know this series, or particularly this character, has been compared to Suzumiya Haruhi a lot, and now I can see why. Thanks again to Aila for sending this in!
