Something about Cosplaying

WARNING: No insult or ridicule is directed to any particular person in this post. This post is merely for comic and entertainment puposes.

When I was browsing the net for anime pictures (being the nerd I am) the other day, I came across several picture showing some cosplayers portraying some of my favourite anime characters. Well, they were my favourite characters until I saw those pictures. I never had much love for cosplaying in the first place but man those picture suck on whole different scales. Here are some of those pictures I found:

First off, We have Natalia from the ever popular Tales of The Abyss:

Alright, for those who never seen the actual character, here's a picture for you to compare.

Next on the list, Luke and Asch also from Tales of the Abyss:

And Here's how they should look,

So all I can say is that Mr Luke wannabe needs to gain a six pack and lose that big barrel and Ms (yes,MISS) Asch wannabe should take some calcium. (PS: Asch is a BOY, one more thing, the cosplay costumes above seem very good but the cosplayer just don't have the shape.)



Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that all cosplay suck, there of course very good ones. And I do mean very good. Take the following cosplay of Tifa for example,(well, I think its Ok but my friends say its very good)






OK, I think its 'bout time I wrap it up. Some people may think these people have no life but hey, that's what they think 'bout me too. So, it just shows that you do not need to cosplay to have no life. Wait, did that come out right?

Nothing to Say but A Song to Play

I have no story to tell but I have being enjoying some new songs lately and here's the lyrics to one of my favorites. It's a song by a famous J-pop singer called Trickster, Nana Mizuki from her latest album of the same name.

Original / Romaji Lyrics

English Translation
Because you always say "I like you"in that innocent voice Look! My selfish watch (feelings) has started to move. Arranging broken toys, building my ideal castle. Letting my heart be snatched away by the happiness that everyone wants
Try to release the true feelings (words) that have been locked up While saying "It's alright"
Tell me the tale that you have spun It shines more beautifully than any legend (star) Even if the present is repainted with the past Right to the very end of the dream that has continued since that day Without getting lost, I'll record it The scenario that is mine only
Because you always look straight ahead saying "Because it's fine" Unknowingly, I was able to realise true feelings
Saying "There's no such thing as something that doesn't change" I've taken to giving up in the act(fact) of believing
The parched sky is getting wrapped up in a fog of mobe Your song, from faraway, could be heard. Because it's ok to be strewn with pages without answers Call out loudly "There is nothing to be afraid of" To the QUEST that is budding somewhere within me
For the unforeseen, loneliness Is a signal to Level up
Tell me the tale that you have spun It shines more beautifully than any legend (star) Even if the present is repainted with the past Right to the very end of the dream that has continued since that day Without getting lost, I'll record it The scenario that is mine only
The tale that I have spun, I'd like to tell it to you That is, endlessly, the start of a legend (star) 's love (life)
