Cosplay Holic

In one of the episodes of the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, Yuki and Haruhi acted as stand-ins for four-member band in their school cultural festival. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly), Yuki was able to memorize the music piece just by looking at it, and played the guitar flawlessly on stage. Kyon later commented that Yuki probably played along with Haruhi to keep her from being bored.

Awesome cosplay! I had to crop this, but the original image is linked on the thumbnail, so feel free to see the high-res version! Thanks to Shinji for sending this in!

On the 4th of December 2011, Nico Nico, in cooperation with Japan’s largest cosplay community website “Cure”, came together to introduce the world to Japanese Cosplay Culture.

Niconico’s special stage replicated each cosplayer’s world in detail using 360 degree LED screens accompanied by powerful sound systems! Top cosplayers from popular anime series including Tiger and Bunny, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, Final Fantasy, Touhou Project, and even Vocaloid made their appearances on stage!

If you missed the event like I did, you can download the show through torrent. If you’re a cosplay fan, this is a rare chance for you to see your favorite cosplayers moving and without photoshop! Even Kipi made a special appearance dressed as Hatsune Miku!

Thanks to Marcello for letting me know about this! For now, I will leave you with a video of Danceroid members Ikura, Aikawa Kozue, Yuzuki, and Maam performing Maji Love 1000% from Uta no Prince-sama!

After the "camo cricket" incident, Kyon realized that Yuki plays a "behind the scenes" role, making her one of Haruhi's puppeteers whose goals are to ensure Haruhi is fully satisfied and to make sure that order and balance are maintained. Yuki joined the SOS Brigade to monitor Haruhi and prevent her from feeling bored or disappointed because it is generally believed by the Data Overmind that such a drastic event could mean the end of the universe.

Such a heavy responsible for a cute girl, but one Yuki can handle flawlessly! Thanks again to Michelle for sending this in!

You can probably tell that's Nagato Yuki from The Menlancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi giving a notice to the Gundam; but that’s just the thing: I have no idea what Gundam model and make that is! And those “03” markings make me think it’s an Eva Unit more than a Gundam.

So I shall be leaving this in the Unknown section while I quietly sit down and wait for my readers to let me know from which series that Gundam is from… please? While I try to figure out how to title this blog entry properly seeing we have a crossover between two series. A very cute one at that. Thanks to again to Miriam for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for identifying the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II from the Zeta series!
