Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Euphemia li Britannia

Lelouch Lamperouge's half-sister and the Third Princess of the Holy Britannia Empire, Euphemia li Britannia is a kindhearted and open-minded woman who despises conflict of any form. She joins her older sister, Conelia, in governing Area 11, thus becoming the Sub-Viceroy. She develops a relationship with Kururugi Suzaku as they share the same views, and eventually appoints him as her personal knight.

Beautiful Euphemia! I'm wondering if the initials "K.L." are the cosplayer's or the photographer's. I hope someone here can tell me! Thanks to Katrina for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Yui 02

Despite being hyperactive and sometimes childish, Yui can also be "jokingly" rude to her colleagues, and even throw trash talk to Hinata and the others. Her upbeat personality may have stemmed from her being paralyzed from the neck down due to a car accident when she was still alive. Although it is unknown how she died, it can be assumed that her body somehow broke down in some way.

Very cute Yui! Even her pose seems to scream hyperactivity, but she's missing her signature shackle bracelets! Thanks to anon for sending this!

Lupin III: Jigen Daisuke

Lupin's marksman and close ally, Jigen Daisuke can perform a 0.3-second quick-draw and shoots with amazing accuracy. He is also proficient in the use of different firearms, including machine guns, sniper rifles, and a PTRS anti-tank rifle. His weapon of choice is a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat revolver, based on the pistol's stopping power and its dependability against misfire.

That is pretty awesome! And from such a classic anime too. I love the extra detail of the handcuffs on his wrist; it's as if he just got away! Thanks to Peachy for sharing this!

Death Note: Amane Misa 06

A famous and hyperactive singer, model, and actress, Amane Misa usually refers to herself in the third person by calling herself "Misa-Misa" to be cute. Despite her hyperactivity, she rarely allows her personal feelings about anyone interfere with Light's plans, proving her undying devotion and loyalty to him. Like Light, she is corrupted by the power of possessing a Death Note, but she does not wish to become a god and doesn't lose her original personality.

Pretty cute cosplay! The black nails really suit Misa's character, but I'm not sure if we ever saw that in the original anime or manga. In any case, thanks again to M berra for sending this in!

New ‘Walking Dead’ Marketing – Promo Banner and First Episode Title Reveal

Season 4 of The Walking Dead is coming up in just a few months, and with its arrival comes the usual spread of marketing spam and teasers. Today, Nerd Bastards brings you the above-pictured promotional banner for season 4, as well as the title of the new season's premiere episode.

As most know, The Walking Dead has a new face at the helm in the form of Scott M. Gimple. Taking over for Glen Mazzara, Gimple is responsible for what are widely regarded as the two best episodes from last season. And, naturally, the premiere for season 4 will be written by him. Titled '30 Days Without An Incident', it seems to suggest that Gimple may be giving the crew a break. Gods know they deserve it after all the shit-storm they had to deal with last season.

And as another site has seen fit to point out, there is no Governor on the new promotional, just a bunch of zombies. Coupled with this statement from one of the show's producers...

We are going to amp up the threat of the walkers, because they've started to seem like a manageable threat. They are not a manageable threat.

...it looks like we may be getting a more zombie-centric story this time around, which would be okay in my book. Likely, more information will pop up at this year's San Diego Comic Con, so look forward to that.

How do the people out in Nerdland feel about season 4? Hopeful? Fed up? Do you think Gimple will be able to bring us to new heights of (non-necropheliac) zombie ecstasy?

Keep in touch for more news and don't forget to tune in when The Walking Dead returns in October.

Thanks to screenrant for the heads-up.

Above: Fantasci-fi Girl's Luke Skywalker cosplay is adorable, right down to the Yoda backpack. See more of her Jedi training at Fashionably Geek.

And what's a Rule 63 Luke without a Rule 63 Han, huh? Emily of The Stylish Geek's Han cosplay is simply killer, and more screen accurate than half the Hans out there. [Fashionably Geek]

Ah, now I get it. [Nerd Approved]

It's the latest trend, Exploding Actresses. Which also happens to be a Tumblr blog just full of gifs with, well, the heads of actresses exploding. [Geekologie]

This punked-out Peter Pan is excellent! Especially the detailing. Fashionably Geek has a bunch of up close pictures showing off all the buttons patches, and trinkets that really sell this. Check it out! There's also this great explanation behind the cosplay from the cosplayer himself.

In the latest of DC Nation's fantastic series of shorts, Bizarro does everything opposite of how Superman does things. Wonder if that means his summer blockbuster wasn't a letdown, hmm? [Bleeding Cool]

Nah, this 3D trailer for Doctor Who's 50th anniversary is not the real deal, but after watching you'll wish it was. Plus the 3D's real, so whip out those specs if you have any! [Blastr]

Lastly, a fire breathing dragon on a unicycle plays the Game of Thrones' theme song on a bagpipe while cycling around its Khaleesi. Yep. You read that right. [Geeks are Sexy]

‘Falling Skies’ Coming Back for Season Four

Good news for fans of the TNT alien invasion drama Falling Skies as the cable network has given the greenlight for the series to get a fourth season well in advance of the end of the show's current season.

The series, which is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, follows TV's Noah Wylie as Tom Mason, a former college professor turned leader of a resistance force against alien invasion of the planet Earth. Co-starring Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton, Drew Roy, Connor Jessup, Maxim Knight, Seychelle Gabriel, Mpho Koaho, Colin Cunningham and Sarah Carter, Falling Skies has enjoyed commercial and critical success since it premiere in 2011.

For TNT, the renewal of Falling Skies is the proverbial no-brainer. According to Deadline, the show averages 5.8 million viewers in Live + 7 delivery and currently sits as basic cable's number one scripted series with adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 for the summer-to-date. That's not Walking Dead numbers, but still impressive for a basic cable series. Falling Skies is currently in its third season, which wraps on August 4th. The 10 episode fourth season will debut sometime in the summer of 2014.

Falling Skies airs Sunday nights at 10 pm EST/PST.
