Straight from the official site, it has been confirmed that Hyouka will contain all the main four Vocaloids – Hatsune Miku, Rin and Len Kagamine, and Luka, all each to arrive in the form of a horrible cosplay attempt.
This isn’t anything against Hyouka, although this hideous “Hatsune Miku” impostor hasn’t the delectable legs which the digital princess’ signature black thighhighs are known to wrap around. Similarly, the twins are looking awful – and the Luka is just akin to acid on the eyes. One however must praise Kyoto Animation for making such realistic character designs – as indeed, most cosplay efforts are legitimately disasters like this.

Not watched any this anime, but this… and unsurprisingly this just makes me cringe. Though as said there is credit to be given emulating a cosplay design compared to an alternate character design (besides Rin). But damn… NO! JUST NO!!!

Horrible, though as much was expected.

I really love how this is accurate on how a lot of people look while cosplaying. Good on Hyouka.

Still waiting for an official Vocaloid anime…
( And if possible a second season of Devil May Cry. A game every 3 or 4 years is a hell of waiting.)

I hope the next game is on PS Vita.
Still need to watch the first season of the anime.

Well, this is actually pretty good, because it looks “real”.
At least the studio didn’t make characters who look just like the original vocaloids. They are normal everyday people who’re trying to look like them and this is what makes it believable.
And I dare to say this is pretty good cosplay, I have seen too many fat Miku and short Luka… so I would easily give 4/5 to this attempt :)

The 2nd half of Hyouka looks promising in that it’s now half way closer to conclusion and freeing a timeslot.
