Reki from Haibane Renmei

This was a pretty simple cosplay, but I really wanted to have a full group! My friends came through wonderfully on this, I was really so happy with how everyone looked!

Haibane is a beautiful, simple 13 episode series, something I think even people who don't like anime could really enjoy. 

We had everyone except our Midori, who will be joining us for a shoot this spring...I will be doing Reki's summer outfit for that!

Rakka awakens from a cocoon to find herself welcomed into a town surrounded by a huge wall by a group of girls with small gray wings and halos...and soon grows some herself. But what are the Haibane, where do they come from, and where do they go....?  A beautiful, emotional story.

I tried to photoshop out our little Halo wires. Just to keep the effect ;)
And the cigarette is a prop. DON'T SMOKE. RAWR.
BACK TO COSPLAY MAIN?
Definitely more pictures soon!

I just couldn't wait to stick up the first ones I got back!
This shows all of the characters that we were able to get for the group, again only missing our Midori!

Hikari: Aurora Laguna
Kuu: Personanimus
Rakka: Pixiekitty
Reki: Me
Nemu: Chibi_Plum
Kana: DreamerWorld
Washi: Matt
Hyoko: Neon_Genocide
Definitely more photos when I get the rest from other photographers, and we'll do more with our Midori this spring, I'm looking forward to making Reki's summer clothes, too!
This photo was taken by LJinto!
These were taken by Bob Barker!
I have a lot more individual photos I gave everyone, but I wanted to let them post them on their own pages or places!

Our Hikari is so cute!!
Oh, I made Matt's Washi costume for him over a year ago! He made his cane and wood accessories!

BOMBER.
Only people who've seen the series will know why this is so broken and wrong.
Chris, a friend and photographer, stole a spare pair of wings and wandered into his shot...
Reki never did put up with bs....
