Black Rock Shooter (OVA)

At one of my most recently attended anime convention, I noticed quite a few cosplayers armed with some of the most amazing weapon props I had seen in a while. After careful investigation, I learned these cosplayers’ characters were from an anime called Black Rock Shooter. Entirely too enthralled by the cosplays, I decided to check it out, and I jumped in headfirst. I didn’t know anything about the plot or characters; all I knew was that there was an OVA released in 2010 and an anime released in 2012, and that there are varying opinions on both.

Cosplayer Spotlight #13: Awkward Cosplay Girl

Well, I used to be a stage actress…and since I stopped that cosplaying was the next closest thing to my interests. I often cosplay characters I have the personality of or just characters I fall in love with from any media. I love seeing the sparkle in peoples’ eyes when they see some of their favorite characters come to life.

Cosplayer Spotlight #11: Reya Skye

Tell us a little about yourself.  My name is Taryn, but I go by Terra or my cosplay alias, Reya Skye. Not to sound like a hipster, but I’m from a small town you’ve probably never heard of in the panhandle of Florida. It’s been an interesting journey cosplaying because in my town there wasn’t and still isn’t an Anime Club in high school so I’ve always just done my own thing.
