Wahhh, awesome Levi cosplay!

Sad the first series is over without too many big revelations, I feel it tailed off a tad towards the end - I might have to take up the manga again.

Ah, it's kinda disappointing to hear that it ends like that. I feel like that happens quite often with anime based on long-running manga series, and it always feels like a letdown.

Anyway, that's an impressive cosplay! Maybe I'll have a look for some I could post, since I have seen some good ones.

I just realised those swords are made of those snap-off knife blade things so popular in Japan and the boxes strapped to the thighs have spare blades in! That's so weirdly typical of anime to take some common mundane item of stationery and make it into a weapon

Erm, I'm pretty sure pen knives/box cutters are used around the world though...?

At least they're quite common in North America! The good quality ones are the OLFA blades, which are indeed made in Japan though. I thought it was quite creative to see it as a sword design.

True, I used them at work in my first job in the 1980s but I seem to keep seeing them a lot in anime for some reason. I assumed they were originally a Japanese design/patent. Fighting with those huge boxes strapped to your legs must be awkward though!

Wikipedia says you're right . They were invented in Japan, apparently inspired by the segmentations in chocolate bars.

And in one of those odd connections I was breaking and eating a chocolate bar as I read the link

They worked ok for me, but I was always leery when snapping off an old section in a utility knife I was working with. I cut myself once while doing that one time. I preferred the metal single blade design myself.

I don't remember seeing that before! Anyway, I really like it. Is there any more where that came from?

Sure! Here. ^^ That's just the Pokémon folder, I'd recommend taking a look through her (the one cosplaying Jessie) whole gallery, she's done a lot of awesome cosplays.

While that red wig is amazing, what's even more awesome is they have managed to get hold of what looks like a mobile SCUD launcher to pose in front of.

I'm guessing army museum, judging by the lack of dirt.

Haha, I like those other ones too. Especially the one with the unconvincing Ash disguise. Also cool that's she's done Tenchi Muyo! I don't often see cosplay of that.

It took me until the 2nd last pic to get which anime this was from. At least she got Ritsuko's mole right.

Also, Kaji is like whoa damn. What I'd give to look like that.

I'm surprised! I thought you get it straight away. The girl playing Ritsuko is amazing I think, she has the face right, the expressions right and the body language. The dude playing Kaji doesn't quite have it right - his face is too serious and deadpan, he needs to wear a more foxy, mischievous expression. Kaji was always smiling, even when he wasn't, if you know what I mean. Even when he was 1 second away from death, he was smiling. He was that kind of guy.

The guy playing Gendo is just too young. His face doesn't work at all for me.

The Misato girl is physically just right and costume-wise but again there's something missing in the expressions. She shouldn't be shifty eyed at Kaji *all* the time, where's that knowing look about finding out the dirty secrets, or that crazy laugh?

Also where does this idea that Misato has purple hair come from? It's black.

No idea who this character is, the picture just looks so nice:

I didn't know whether to put this in the Ghibli art thread or the couples thread or the cosplay thread, but settled on this one.
