▼ Oh hey No-Face, what’s up? Nah, I don’t need any gold but thanks for—hey… No-Face, stay back! No-Face, sta—

▼ Seems like even when Arrietty is big, all that’s on her mind is still “borrowing” sugar cubes and giant pins.
▼ A lovely Totoro-inspired dress ensemble, complete with hiding susuwatari
▼ And the winner for creepiest cosplay goes to: Princess Mononoke’s kodama peeking around the forest. Are we even sure this is cosplay and they weren’t just all hanging around like this?
