Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 45

Source: 7k7k

ちょっとだけお付き合い願います
Let’s get together for a while, if you please
ちょっとだけ（？）後ろ向きなこの歌
I’ll sing this song for a while (?), with my back to you
鏡に映る昨日の僕は
Yesterday’s me in the mirror
今日の僕にとてもよく似ていて
Looks an awful lot like today’s me

悲しかった　悔しかった　辛かったよ
It’s been sad, it’s been distressing, it’s been painful,
でも誰も聞いてくれないから
But nobody ever listens to me,
このひざ小僧が僕のお友達
So my only friendship is my face with my knees

“One Upon a Me”

Another cute cosplay by Aira! I guess she really loves Vocaloid since she’s also cosplayed Meiko and Megurine Luka before. Thanks to Karen for sending this in!

Shingeki no Kyojin: Levi

Source: I3 on World Cosplay

Levi is the head of the elite Recon Corps Special Operations Squad; the members of which are hand-picked by Levi himself to protect Eren Jaeger. He is known to be humanity’s most powerful soldier, but there are rumors speculating that he was originally part of underground crime before he became a soldier. Levi is also known to be quite the clean-freak.

A very nice shot from Japanese cosplayer I3 as Levi! And her 3-D Maneuver Gear and blades look absolutely impressive too! Thanks to Cameron for sending this in!

Sword Art Online: Sachi

Source: SAO 52pk

One of the 10,000 players trapped in Sword Art Online, Sachi was a member of the Black Cats of the Full Moon guild. She and her guild mates were from the same computer club at their school, until they asked Kirito to join them. Sachi is a timid girl who secretly harbored a fear of the game and dying within in. She later shared this fear with Kirito and it was revealed that Sachi was Kirito’s first love prior to Asuna.

I’m really sad that Sachi didn’t get much screen time in the anime, or the light novels for that matter. I could definitely see her becoming a stronger character if she only had the chance to stay with Kirito a bit longer. Thanks to Joanna for sending this in!

Vocaloid 3: Mayu

午前2時の
At two in the morning
誰も居ない駅のホーム
There is no one inside the train station
非日常的な光景に感じた
It felt like an extraordinary scene
この世界に独り取り残されたような気になって
Because it seemed like I was left behind all alone in this world
急に涙溢れた
And suddenly I was filled with tears

“Guard of Loneliness”
Lyrics by Anime Lyrics
Translation by Kurohiko

I apologize if my translation is wrong! Please let me know and I will correct it as soon as possible!

Now then, it’s interesting to note that Mayu is a Vocaloid made by Japanese record label, Exit Tunes. Normally, they’re responsible for releasing chart-toping Vocaloid albums, so I’m hoping this Vocaloid will have some amazing songs! Thanks again to Marcello for sharing this!

Shingeki no Kyojin Cast 02

Source: I Just Love Anime on Facebook

Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger!
They're the prey, and we are the hunters!

踏まれた花の 名前も知らずに
Without even knowing the name of the flower it had stepped on
地に落ちた鳥は 風を待ち詫びる
The bird that had fallen to the ground, grows tired of waiting for the wind
祈ったところで 何も変わらない
In the place where it prays, nothing changes
今を変えるのは 戦う覚悟だ
But what does change, is its readiness to fight
屍踏み越えて 進む 意思を 嗤う豚よ
It steps over the corpses, and moves forward, the pig that ridicules intentions
家畜の安寧 虚偽の繁栄
The peace of the cattle, and the flourishing of deceptions
死せる餓狼の自由を！
Can kill off, the freedoms of the hungry wolf

“Guren no Yumiya”
Lyrics and Translation by Language by Music

Another epic cast of cosplayers from Shingeki no Kyojin! As much as this anime makes my stomach turn, the concept is undeniably genius. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Thanks to Franciz for sending this in!

Sword Art Online: Kirito and Asuna

Source: SAO 52pk

After Kirito was almost murdered by Asuna’s bodyguard, the two have decided to get married in game. They also asked for a leave of absence from the frontlines in order to spend some time together. The newly weds chose the 22nd floor for their honeymoon, and lived in a log cabin by the forest.

Such a beautiful photo! I loved the scene where Asuna came to save Kirito from Kuradeel. Although I wished she’d killed him, murdering someone is really no easy task. Thanks to Gene for sending this in!

Team Fortress 2: The Engineer

Source: Crunchyroll

The last but not least of the defensive classes, the Engineer is portrayed as a relaxed and intellectual “good ol’ boy” from Texas. He is capable of building a number of structures to support his team, including:

• tripod sentry guns for defending key points
• health and ammunition dispensers
• one-way teleporter systems (which can be upgraded into a two-way teleporter system in “Mann vs. Machine”)

The Engineer is armed with a shotgun for his primary weapon, a pistol for his secondary weapon, and his signature wrench for his melee weapon, which can also be used for repairs and upgrades. His wrench is also capable of speeding up the building process of his structures.

This is just the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long while. Those shades look absolutely darling on him and he looks like he’s ready to start building! Thanks to Eden for sending this in!

Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy: The Emperor

Source: Paolo Marku-ji on Facebook

Representing Final Fantasy II, The Emperor is one of the most powerful villains fighting on the side of Chaos, outranked only by Garland. He is in agreements with Ultimecia to take control of a war-torn world, unlike most villains who only seek to destroy it.

Although Firion stands in opposition to the Emperor, his main rival is actually Yuna, whom he blames and resents for stealing Tidus from Chaos’s side. Incidentally, he manages to recruit Tidus’ father, Jecht, in his place.

Another amazing cosplay by Stein! The details on this cosplay are absolutely incredible! Please show your support by liking and sharing the photo on Facebook, and by visiting the photographer’s Deviant Art. Of course, please also pay a visit to Stein’s Deviant Art too. Thanks for letting me feature this!

Hell Girl: Enma Ai 02

Source: Crunchyroll

Because of what happened to her 400 years ago, Ai must now fulfill other people’s vengeance as her punishment. After the targeted person suffers hellish hallucinations which exploit their flaws and crimes, she appears to the condemned and recites the following:

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？
Perhaps… it is time to die?

Her task is completed once she ferries the person to Hell, making her a deliverer of people’s hatred and vengeance.

This is just creepy. It’s probably photoshoped, but having the same girl appear three times in one photo? Absolutely brilliant for this character. Thanks to Jane for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin 22

甘い香りの蜜に誘われ
Following the sweet scent of the alluring nectar
ひらりと止まる気高き羽
I found a beautiful butterfly landing before me
凛々しい瞳に熱、灯して
With gallant, fevered eyes she looks into my eyes
ふわりと優雅に微笑んだ
Gracefully, she softly smiled... I was enchanted

視線が絡む瞬間　恋に落ちた
At that very moment when both of our eyes met, I fell in love with you
高鳴る心臓
(I felt my heart starting to race)
ただ見つめ合い　名前を呼んで、
All it took was one glance
(I called out for you, entranced)
微笑交わす　誘われるまま
And a shared smile from you
(as I was seduced by you)
戯れに　其れを摘み取った
From the lark I plucked the flower of forbidden love

AKB0048: Sugar Rush

I don’t know if it’s just me, but these girls look like they’re wearing cupcake inspired skirts..?

They’re certainly very colorful and it appears the characters are quite popular in the last Japan Comiket 83. I’m wondering in there’s a series or game based on these or if they’re original design… Can anyone take a wild guess please? Thanks to Darren for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Marc for letting me know they’re AKB0048 from the music video, “Sugar Rush” for Wreck-It Ralph!
