Naruto: Shippuden: Uzumaki Naruto

Although appearing to be similar to the Bunshin no Jutsu, the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu creates clones of the user that are actual copies rather than illusions. The user’s chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, each receiving an equal fraction of the user’s overall power. The clones are capable of performing their own techniques, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows.

This is an amazing photo! I don’t know if this is just one cosplayer or several but it made me stare at it for several minutes trying to figure it out. Thanks to Jerald for sharing this!

Cosplay-vania is now on Facebook and Google+

Today is Pi Day!!!!!  Woot!  AND, I have finally finished making a very simple logo for us!

If you haven't got the idea yet, we were inspired by Castlevania when we came up with the name for our blog.  To go along with the same concept, I designed our logo with a creepy castle.  I know it's not perfect or cool like some other logos, but this is a temporary solution until I cross paths with better ones.

With the completion of our logo, we have also officially launched our Facebook page HERE, please "like" us *puppy eyes*
A Google+ page also exists but it is rather confusing, if you are a G+ user, you could follow us by clicking on the button on the right.

That's all for now, Animazement finally announced some more of their guests!  I'm pretty excited about KOTOKO and Masao Maruyama.  If you are curious, check AZ's guest list out HERE.

More exciting things soon to come!

One Piece: Monkey D. Luffy

The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy accidentally ate a paramecia-type Gum-Gum fruit, which caused his body to gain properties of highly stretchable rubber. In addition, Luffy eventually learned to use a mysterious ability known as Haki, which literally means “ambition”.

After Shanks saved his life when he was only 7 years old, Luffy decided to achieve the tantamount goals of finding the titular treasure and succeeding Gold Roger as King of the Pirates. Ten years later, wearing Shanks’ hat, he set out to sea to gather a crew and sail the Grand Line, where the One Piece is supposedly hidden.

A spectacular photo taken by the cosplayer himself! Yes, according to Tiranical, Amiel Amores took this photo of himself. I have no idea how, but you can visit his Facebook Page and ask him yourself. Thanks again to Tiranical for sending this!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 09

In the manga adaptation, "Black★Rock Shooter ~Innocent Soul~", Black Rock Shooter is tasked with the duty of maintaining peace within the Threshold - a world between Heaven and Earth. One of the major differences between the manga and anime is the character’s signature jacket, which was replaced by a poncho in the manga. Her ★rock Cannon and Black Blade have also merged in the manga, in the form of a shape-shifting belt.

Not too sure what I think about the manga yet, but I do think this is another awesome cosplay by Ani-Mia! I couldn’t decide between the two photos, so I decided to feature both of them instead. Thanks again to the cosplayer for sharing these with us! And please do visit her Facebook Page for more of her cosplays!

Kuroshitsuji: Grell Sutcliff 02

Grell Suttcliff is a shinigami who is described to be over-the-top and flamboyant. He has a tendency to use female nouns and pronouns when referring to himself. In the manga and character guide, Grell has even expressed the desire to have a female body. He also has a tendency to put things in terms of theatre, as he refers to Angelina’s death as “the falling of curtains”, and even comparing his relationship to Sebastian Michaelis to the famous play, Romeo and Juliet.

Beautiful cosplay by Miyo Tsubasa! I really love the yukata which was made by Anastasia. Thanks again for sharing this with us and to Alexander for the awesome photography!

Kuroshitsuji: Madam Red 02

In the past, Madam Red, whose full name is Lady Angelina Durless-Barnett, was a withdrawn and shy child because of she was self-conscious of her red hair. She admired and loved her sister, Rachel Durless, who later married Vincent Phantomhive, whom they were both in love with. She was generally lighthearted about her sister’s marriage to Vincent, stating that if the two people she loved most were happy, then she was happy as well.

Lovely cosplay by Angie Choong! She looks so cute, like a much younger version of Madam Red! Thanks to Anastasia for sending this in!
