Once again, the sun rose above the rooftops of Bonn, and countless persons in strange dresses invaded the city. Just some harmless cosplayers or a nameless threat? This turbulent times need people to reestablish order and security - and so, the Shinsengumi came to Bonn...
After long months of waiting, we could finally return to our dear AnimagiC city - oh yes, we did! We marched through the streets as Peace Maker, in the biggest cosplay group we ever were. We fought mortal combats with hostile Shinobi. We experienced one of the most legendary cosplay moments ever, we beat the Spartans, we conquered Germany, China and the Sparkasse savings bank, in short: The Shinsengumi came, saw, sang and smoked... and made itself unpopular, as usual. The blue flag waving never meant the same!
Witness the whole madness on the pictures below...

Any doubts if we're ready to fight and die for Chyotto Mahou? Not only did we work day and night once more, to finish our costumes in time, we even got ouf bed at five a.m. to catch our train to AnimagiC - considering this, we don't look to bad, do we?

Bigger, more elaborate and more... winged - that was the motto of this year's AnimagiC cosplay! Here you can see some of the truly amazing Cosplayers...
There were lots of cosplayers from Pirates of the Carribean... Captain Jack Sparrow for everyone!

Tía and Marron wore kimono - Marron as Yamazaki Ayumu. And once again, blood was shed...
Yue's brother Simon went into the battle as a Spartan, though the weather was rather cold. Madness? This is SPARTA!!
And here we come - the Shinsengumi! And what does the Shinsengumi do in front the hall, at the Rhine's shore or in the inner city of Bonn? Taking loads of pictures, of course - and killing evil instantly!!
A troup, a word! Here are some pictures of our enemies - and their instant execution...
Some moments go down to history... and we had one of these moments by the Rhine's shore at sunset. Our combatant Thorsten brought a Shisha, but forgot its tube - so we had to smoke Shisha without the tube. We couldn't resist to let some reggea music play on one ouf our handies, and maybe you can imagine the looks and thoughts of the people who passed by...
And where did the whole thing end? In a slight lack of seriousness and a lot of photos that were meant to be locked away in the top secret documents of the Shinsengumi...
There was no huge gathering of Shinsengumi members, but we did meet some colleagues and enemies...
The lovely Akita Inu Toya and Miyu also visited the AnimagiC once again, and they were even stroked by Tía and Akuma...
...and then, the AnimagiC was over again - sad, but true. The Shinsegumi wandered off into the sunset, then to the station and through the beautiful Middle Rhine Valley, back home. Until the next battle, the next victory - the next AnimagiC!
