It seems everyone is talking about this awesome Korra cosplayer from MegaCon 2015 who uses rhythmic gymnastic to show off her water bending skills! I have no earthly idea how to embed the said gif to my blog, so please visit JamesTheGent’s imgur to see the whole thing, but also, don’t forget to check out the original video by FDSedanoArts!
As usual, if anyone knows the cosplayer, do let me know so I can properly credit them in Cosplay Holic! Thanks to Sharon, Mike, and Andy for sending this in!

This is not your usual cosplay feature, but this video might inspire many cosplayers out there! It’s a fantastic idea of bring creatures to life instead of the usual stuff toys we bring around! But please take a closer look, as this hand-made puppet’s eyes blink, giving it a variety of expressions!

Meanwhile, in Japan, they decided to promote “Batman: Arkham Knight” with a commercial of a normal salary man literally becoming Batman.
Normally, I wouldn’t post a video like this, but the manager in the clip actually told the guy to “stop cosplaying” already. And the salary man replies that he’s not cosplaying, that he really is Batman! Haha! It was really amusing, even though I didn’t completely understand the whole clip!
Anyway, I hope you like today’s feature! Thanks to Chip for sharing this!

What we have here is our first look at the 3D Maneuver Gear for the live action movie of Shingeki no Kyojin. I am cautiously optimistic? But at the same time, I’m not entirely sure that those effects will be convincing enough once it hits theaters.
I initially thought it was Eren kissing Mikasa in 1:28, but it looks like they’re the new characters that were created for this film! Good thing too, because I always viewed Eren and Mikasa as siblings!
Anyway, I’m holding off any and all judgment from this film until I actually see it in a month or two. I’m completely excited, and my Survey Corps jacket is ready and waiting!

A very impressive cosplay music video for Shingeki no Kyojin! A lot of people worked very hard to make this video, and full credits are listed in the original YouTube link, but for now, I will list out the cosplayers in today’s feature:
Most of them are on Facebook, and a few other are on World Cosplay, so please check them out! And if you’d like to see more of the Filmmaker’s work, check out his YouTube Channel at DieselsVideos! Thanks to Barnaby for suggesting this!

It’s pretty amazing how dedicated cosplayers can be. This video of Chloe Bruce taken during Gamescom 2010 in Germany is one of the most impressive Chun Li cosplays I’ve ever seen! It kinda makes me wish I had taken those karate lessons more seriously.
My little nephew came to visit us from Canada, and he’s somehow convinced me to buy a new smart phone just so that I could play Clash of Clans with him.
I have to admit, the game can be addicting after a while, even though I feel bad for raiding other villages for their resources, and sending off my troops to be killed.
Needless to say, once they told me there was a live action trailer (possibly fan made?), I had to check it out myself.
I’m thoroughly impressed with this video, you have no idea! It got me laughing at my screen even with strangers giving me weird looks for it (It was a bad idea to watch it while commuting, I tell you).
Are any of you playing this game?
Dancer/Cosplayer Ryo is dancing to Kagamine Len’s “ⅢトゥルティンアンテナⅢ” Toluthin Antenna.
I’m just going to sit here and watch this on loop, ok? Ok then.
If you ever wanted to cosplay as the female titan from Shingeki no Kyojin, I think this make up tutorial may be quite useful for you guys.
I didn’t know you could use wig glue for getting those textures on your face. I don’t think I’d dare, but it’s an idea nonetheless. Thanks to fashion designer Kimura U for the awesome video!

To be honest, I wasn’t all that impressed with how Shishio looked in this movie. However, the first trailer that came out only showed a few seconds of his profile.
With this official trailer, I have to say, I can’t wait for August 1 to arrive! Not only does Shishio look more menacing than ever, but Shinomori Aoshi also appears to be quite impressive! I gotta hand it to the people handling this live action movie. It really brings back a lot of fond memories for me. Thanks to Mika for sharing this with me!

Not exactly a cosplay, but cosplayer Tiểu Nhu’s version of Smile PreCure!’s Ending Theme will surely put a smile on your face today.
Please support her by liking her Facebook Page! And for those who want to see the original dance steps, here is the ED theme featured in the anime:

Well, ok, so it’s really just an ad for Subaru Forester, but hey! The titans are looking very good in this teaser! I hope the live action film coming in 2015 will be even better! Thanks to Enj for sharing this!

You know that your country is very accepting of Japanese Pop Culture when Naruto appears at the opening Salvo of Dinagyang Festival held in Iloilo City. Kudos to you, Tribu Paghidaet of La Paz National High School! And in case you’re interested, here is a video of their performance (not the best in video quality, but hey, their hard work is evident!). Thanks to Kevin for the heads up!

For those of you who like cosplaying dolls like Rozen Maiden and Dream of Doll characters, this might be something that you’d want to have in your cosplay closet.
Designer Ueno Kou only makes 10 of these per day because each stocking is a hand painted original. But the backorder has gone back for several months, so if you want one, you’ll have to be very patient!
To me, it’s very interesting, yet at the same time, it’s so realistic that it’s scary! I wouldn’t mind owning a pair though, I’m pretty sure I can freak a few people out just by wearing these. Thanks to Cathy for sending this in!
Set in the year 2020, more than a thousand years after the original manga, Mizushima Hiro plays the role of the demon butler in the live action movie of Kuroshitsuji. It appears we won’t be seeing Ciel Phantomhive in this film, but Genpo Shiori, Sebastian’s new master who is a young woman disguising herself as a man.
I’m not so sure about this one. Warner Brothers Japan did a fantastic job with Rurouni Kenshin, but I personally can’t stand Sebastian’s disheveled hairstyle! He’s supposed to be stylish and put together, right?
Gouriki Ayame does make an interesting looking, Ciel-inspired character, but I’m wondering how the storyline will go, seeing that it’s set in some unknown Asian city where western and eastern cultures have intermixed.
I guess we’ll have to wait until early 2014 to find out. Thanks to Misakichan for sharing this bit of news!
Now that is what I call epic.

The second of four films released in the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance is the winner of the French Lyon Asian Film Festival’s Animation category, narrowly beating “Symphony in August” in an audience vote back in 2009. The film also won Excellent Animation of the Year from the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year in 2010. Stills and draft materials by Anno Hideaki were exhibited at Künstlerhaus Bethanien as part of the Proto Anime Cut exhibition from January to March 2011, with a European tour planned in summer 2012.
Ok, so this group changed Ikari Shinji and Nagisa Kaworu into girls, but hey, is anyone really complaining? And for those of you who want to see more of these cosplayers, please refer to the video below. Thanks to Felicia for sending this in!

Another trailer has been released for the Rurouni Kenshin Live Action film by Warner Brothers Japan! We see a little more of Eguchi Yosuke as Saitou Hajime, but I still don't know how he's going to incorporated into the story so early on.
Not that I'm complaining, of course, but I really hope they release this soon! Thanks again to 愛子 藤原 for sharing this!
