Cosplay Sailor Moon


I guess everyone who is born in 1980s is familiar with this household anime . It accompanied with us for a very long time. Sailor Moon has been a symbol of our past memory. Now, it is time for us to recollect this classic anime again. Maybe, in the coming Halloween or cosplay cons, you could cosplay sailor moons for refresh your life. That is must be cool. Anyway, let me figure this anime out.

Serena Tsukino is a teenage girl who is described as a daydreamer, a little careless, not the best student and a bit of a cry baby. This is the story of how she is transformed into the fighter for justice - Sailor Moon. This Halloween you can be part of this anime saga with a Sailor Moon costume.

If you are one of the legions of fans of this anime that revolves around a team of magical girls, using super powers to fight evil, then you will be familiar with this story.Serena's life is changed forever when, on her way to school, she rescues a black cat from a group of kids taunting it. She later learns that the cat can talk. Her name is Luna and she gives Serena a brooch and tells her to say, "Moon prism power, makes up". With those words, Serena is transformed into a super hero - Sailor Moon - a fighter for justice.

After she finally defeats the villain in the initial anime episode, another of the characters - Tuxedo Kamen - complements her on a job well done and her eyes fill with hearts.She is then told that in addition to fighting for justice, part of her mission is to find the other sailor scouts: Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars. She is also given several special items to help her utilize her super powers, beginning with the transformation brooch, transformation pen, and a communication device that she uses to talk to other sailor scouts in times of emergency.
All in all, Sailor Moon is a great anime and a good choice for your next cosplay show . Check it out and begin the interesting magic adventure.

Forever Young, Naruto

Knowing that your favorite anime series is going to end is much like graduating from high school. It gives you mixed feelings – relief and despair. Relief because, if the author’s nice, all the loose ends will be tied and you’ll finally get your resolution and despair because you’ll know that, next week, you’ll no longer be sitting in front of the TV waiting for your favorite Naruto to air.

Rumors of the End


Recently, a lot of Naruto fans have been predicting that Naruto would end soon. And of course, it has created quite a racket among the Naruto fans because, really, who wants that anime to end? Sure, we all want to see if Naruto really does become Hokage, we all want to find out if Sasuke and Sakura get married, and we all want to see if Kakashi ever does take off his mask. But then again, Naruto has been with us for such a long time now – since 1999 for the manga and since 2002 for the anime. And Naruto’s almost like a friend now – a little brother. And tuning in every week to see what happens to him has become such a familiar routine that it’s hard to imagine a month without that knuckleheaded ninja that we all love.


This rumor – that Naruto would end soon – is still circulating even now as you read. The main question is – is it true? Frankly, I doubt it. There are just too many unresolved issues in Naruto right now that it doesn’t seem easy that the anime would end soon. A good indication that the anime’s about to end is if the manga is nearing its end. And take it from an avid manga reader, Naruto’s just warming up. The first part of Naruto before the timeskip was like an introduction of characters compared to the depth of Shippuden right now. All those issues in Naruto – the kyuubi, the Uchiha clan, the Akatsuki – they’re all being explored in Shippuden right now. They’re being dissected, and each day, we learn something new and the plot only gets deeper and deeper.

Part 1 was barely stroking the surface. There was more to the Kyuubi than met the eye. It wasn’t just a rampaging monster – the Kyuubi had ties to the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara to be exact. It seems that the Uchiha clan has more secrets that have yet to be revealed. There seems to be more to the Uchiha Clan’s massacre than we were led to believe. Also, there’s the appearance of the Rinnegan, the strongest doujutsu ever in the Naruto universe, and it is further complicated by the fact that it is the Akatsuki Leader who owns this eye technique. There’s also the matter of Kabutomaru – the combination of Orochimaru and Kabuto. Then there’s the whole matter of the root ANBU.

So, When Will Naruto End?


If you want an honest answer, then I’d say that I have no idea. Only Kishimoto can tell. It’s his story and he could end it tomorrow by killing off the characters with a comet if he so desired and we wouldn’t be able to do a thing about it. All we can do is speculate.

Really, there’s just too many things going on in Naruto right now that it doesn’t seem like it’s going to end any time soon – at least, not in the next few years. So, I suggest you start loving that blond-haired ninja right now because it looks like Naruto’s here to stay.

2010 World Cosplay Summit


I promise that this is the first time that I heard the name. It is World Cosplay Summit. Though I am a cosplayer enthusiast, WCS is totally a new name for me. I am not familiar with the contest until I read the news on the internet. It is said that WCS is the most important cosplay contest around the world. I know I am behind the time.

So, let me figure out what the summit is. WCS, short for World Cosplay Summit, is held by Japanese Aichi television station since 2003. Representatives from Japan, Italy, Brazil and other countries come to the cosplay contest for the final title. There are only two cosplayers from each country. They will compete with costumes and the perform of the original character. The meeting has been held 5 times. This year, 30 representatives from 15 countries attend the competition. And Japanese vice foreign minister also met with cosplayers from Mexico, Spain and the United States. I think Japanese government is promoting the cultural communication between Japan and other countries in the special way. Also I can see than Japanese government attaches great importance to the oversea output for animation, game culture.

All the cosplayers had a parade on July 31, in Aichi, Nagoya. The Japanese animation fans gave them a warmly welcome. Though it was raining in the process of the march, the crowds were still enjoying themselves. I just hope I was standing there to enjoy the summit. You know it is a good chance for every cosplay lover to attend the cosplay contest. What a pity.

Though a keen competition, Cosers from Italy take the crown. They 100 percent deserve the honor if you have saw their cosplay show. Very excellent. Nice cosplay costumes and great performance. They are the king of the cosplay field this year. I hope World Cosplay Summit go on next year, maybe I have the chance to attend it next year.

Hot Cosplayers in ChinaJoy

The Sixth ChinaJoy has been held from July 29 to Aug 1 in Shanghai. That is the most important digital entertainment expo in China. Most of the powerful digital entertainment companies from Europe, America, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, mainland China and Taiwan, Hong Kong are gathered here to cerebrate the grand meeting. As for me, an avid anime lover and cosplayer, I only concentrate the showgirls in the meeting. I can call them cosplayers in my words.
So, you know, ChinaJoy is a place where I must go. You know, I watched anime and cosplayed when I was 10 years old. And now, I have left college and began to work. Anime and cosplay has been an important part of my life. And what is more, luckily, my job is related to my hobby. I think this is the most coolest thing in the world.
Let me go down to business, I bet you am not willing to hear the boring thing of myself. You may think what I say is nothing but rubbish. Lol. I know you read my articles just because the title. I am not pulling your leg. What is the point, this is that I attend the ChinaJoy last weekend In Shanghai.
That is a nice trip for me. It is the second time for me to go Shanghai. The last reason is Shanghai Expo. Now time for ChinaJoy. It is exactly because of Cosplay. Showgirls in that meeting. Honestly, I am not deeply interested in the digital works. But I really focus on the cosplayers for the digital entertainment meeting. There are all kinds of cosplayers there, cute ones, hot ones, beautiful ones. So, it is the most great feature about the meeting. I guess there are lots of guys like me coming to the expo only to look at the nice cosplayes. So, let me share some photographs I got in the expo. Enjoy them.

Supernatural the Animation Hits Comic Con

It is said that the blue-ray disc and the animated adaptation DVD version of the popular US show Supernatural will be firstly released on Jan 12th, 2011. The animated version named Supernatural The Animation has been a hot topic in US, especially around the comic field. On July 25th, the crew from the adaptation animation held a conference at Comic Con in San Diego, California. I guess, this is the best time for the premiere of the new animation. San Diego Comic Con is the most festival in the world of comic, animation and cosplay.
So, the appearance of the crew, all the comic lovers there are excited. The meeting place which can only accommodate 5 thousand people is much higher than the admission regulations. All the people there want to have a look at the new anime, no matter he is a comic lover, animation enthusiast or a cosplayer crazy. It seems that Supernatural the Animation has become the main title of this comic con.
In the conference, we got some information from the coming anime. There is a formal statement of the new roles, Dean and Sam are also brothers like the brothers performed by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki in the TV show. The image of the brothers has left a deep impression for the United States fans. The crew released the preview of the episode 4 of Supernatural season 6 and express the high expectation of the new animated version. They all believe the new anime will get a great success in the world. In addition, there is a show of two episodes which Jensen Ackles dubs. What is funny, Jensen says that he is deeply interested in this job and familiar with Japanese which makes the audience laugh.
Why are there so many guys like the show and even the coming anime? Let me figure it out. Supernatural is a supernatural TV series produced by CW television, very popular in the United States, has aired five seasons, and the six season will be released in Sep 2010. There are lots of Supernatural lover around the world. And the animated version is the works of the famous Japanese animation studio Madhouse. If you like watch horror and thriller type of anime, you certainly be familiar with the name. Death Note, Monster and the popular High school of the dead are all its classics. So, I guess the new animated version will be a great one and accepted by not only the TV show lovers and also the anime enthusiasts.
The animated version Supernatural will be a combination production of Warner Bros and Japanese Animation production company. The whole anime is infected with rich colors of Japanese animation. But unfortunately, the new anime wont circulated in the homeland of the TV series, US. What a pity. Maybe, if there are too many American want to look at it, Warner Bros may make it in front of you.
Finally, I bet that everyone will like it. No matter you are a TV enthusiast, a anime lover or a nice cosplayer, you will definitely be interested in this new anime.

Cosplay Convention in Beijing

I went to Beijing last week for a cosplay convention. That is a nice trip for me. Cosplayers there are all great. I have to admit that the level of Chinese Cosplayers is very high. I have not attended a show for a long time. I am busy with my work and other things. I feel relaxed this time and I cosplayed Ciel from Black Butler. But, I have not meet my fellow Sebastian there. What a pity. There are many nice guys there who did wonderful cosplay. All the costumes they wear are cool. I guess anyone there has enjoyed themselves. Cosplaying is great one. It make me feel better and almost forget all the boring thing in my life. Looking forward to the next cosplay convention.

Ada’ Cosplay Show





The popular Chinese host Ada did a cosplay show for an online game. She portrayed a fairy in the picture. She looks very cute in this cosplay picture. You know she is famous as the most sexy host in China. But now, she changes herself and become a lovely character. That is a surprise for the audience. So, it is a good way for the online game company to advertise their product. Everyone will be amazed at the scene that a hot baby similes softly to you with a gentlewoman’s gesture. I am sure that everyone who has watched the cosplay picture will remember the product Ada advertises. It is wise of the boss to make those nice cosplay pictures to do an advertisement. Also, Ada not only makes money from it but also gain more repute. Both are great. As a cosplay lover, I am dreaming to cosplay with Ada one day.
