Cosplay Plans for 2014

Cosplay cosplay cosplay, something I always dream of doing, and very rarely do, for some reason. Since I've found anime again I've become more interested in cosplaying once more too. I've also gone coo-coo over school uniforms, so the beginning of the year will be filled with those.
But Onto My Plans muah muah muah!
Frostbite
For Frostbite which is already next month in Lahti (yikes), I will have two cosplays, one for Saturday and one for Sunday (dun-dun-dun).
Saturday:

Asagi Aiba - Strike the Blood
Ah the first school uniform <3 She's such a cute character, but also super smart as in the series she is a coder and basically relied on for the safety around the islands. Plus, hey, RED EYES!
Sunday:

Rika Shiraki - Bible Black
A R-18 Character for a R-18 con right? Poor Rika for everything she needs to go through. But she is kind of a fun character none- the-less.

Tampere Kuplii
Tampere Kuplii is a small cartoon con held in Tampere (duh). As it's a small con, I also wanted to do something quite easy and "small". So yet again I chose a school uniform.

Himiko - BTOOOM!
A strong yet cute character, who won't let any guy hurt her. Plus I love the uniform.

For some summer con?

I am currently also working on my first hard cosplay, which was supposed to be ready for Frostbite but I'd rather make it in peace for some summer con, as I'm still a rookie with a sewing machine.

Asuna Yuuki - Sword Art Online
She is so cute, plus my fiance is making Kirito so we'll have a cutesy couple cosplay. Yay! *__* I like Asuna alot since she can fight along any guy and still look cute doing it. Besides I love Sword Art Online!

I'll update more plans when I make them... now to make these plans reality ^^

Anime Anime Anime

Ugh, it seems it's time to redo this blog a little, mostly because I have not written anything and secondly because I though it might be fun to actually write one... yes buu me for being a victim of the new blog-writing-mass-hysteria.
But onto business. I stopped watching anime some time ago as I though it was boring and not my thing anymore, but lately my boy and I have re-found anime, and have started to watch quite many series. I though it might be nice to write my opinions on some of the ones we are currently watching, to give you an idea of what I like ;)

BTOOOM!
I liked this anime alot, as it mixed together psychology and action quite well to my liking. As a huge fan of battle royale, this anime included some of my favorite aspects of the movie, and in story is quite similar. A gamer boy gets sent on an island and in order to survive he must kill other players until he is the only one left, so in words very similar. In BTOOOM each player is given a certain amount of bombs with which to kill the enemy. Its a very raw and violent anime, with loads of blood, but the roughness of the human instinct to survive is something that always interests me and BTOOOM portrays that quite well in my opinion.

Strike the Blood
Vampires? Yes please! I kinda like this anime, even though the story and characters lack depth and the anime is mostly about fighting and pretty girls, but I still kinda like it... probably because sometimes it's good to watch things that are not that serious and enjoy the panties....

Magi the Kingdom of Magic
I bet many other people follow this as well.... I had my doubts when I started watching Magi, as it seemed like a uber cutesy anime, but I was pleasantly surprised at how complex the characters are and how rough the anime can be. I eagerly wait each week for the new episode and I love the fact that no character is completely good or bad, but instead may act in both ways much like normal people do.

Log Horizon
Another anime about online gaming huh? I feel log horizon lacks in many of the aspects that made Sword Art Online one of my favorites, the characters lack depth and the story lacks history and depth as well. I feel it strange that none of the players is trying to escape or crack the game, and everyone's just happily living in a virtual world. Also the connection between characters and events is quite loose. To put is shortly the anime is okay if you dont like to dwell too much on the story and only want something to spend time watching.
So a few current animes we are watching. I'll try to get back shortly with cosplay plans :)
