"Let's swear an oath . . . that no matter how far apart we are, we'll always be together . . ."
Ending the year with one of my most beloved anime that is completely unknown in the US, Romeo's Blue Skies. I discovered the stage musical version of it recently and it rekindled my deep love of this show. If you're a Ghibli fan looking for a 90s animated series with similar vibes, check out this charming show about chimney sweeps in 19th century Milan. It's now available free to watch on Tubi with subs! World Masterpiece Theater, which this show was a part of, was worked on by Miyazaki and Takahata pre-Studio Ghibli and their influence shows across the adaptations this series made.
I've always wanted to try doing a shoot as multiple characters and compositing them, and figured this would be the perfect opportunity since no one cosplays from this show lol. Costumes, photos, and edits by me. I actually first made my Alfredo costume ten years ago, back when I first watched the show, so I fixed it up and added some details like distressing and a new wig. I got super lucky with second-hand finds for Romeo and was able to piece his whole outfit together without scratch making anything. I just had to do some hand-dyeing, alterations, and distressing.
I have some more fun photos and edits from this shoot coming soon!
