Winter 2019 Anime: Official Twitter Hashtags & Pages
2018 is almost out, guys and girls, and that means that another anime year is ready to take its place.
"Kyoto University Graduation Ceremony" Screenshot of the search results on Twitter
Once again, it seems there was chaos at the 2017 graduation ceremony of the prestigious Kyoto University. Every year, people wearing cosplay attend the ceremony and the ideas and quality of the costumes draw attention.
On 24 March 2017, the Heisei 28 Graduation Ceremony took place at the Miyako Messe in Kyoto, and the cosplayers were a hot topic on Twitter!
In terms of how difficult it is to enter, Kyoto U is considered to be Tokyo University’s twin in the west of Japan. The graduation ceremony has gained the alias ‘#1 Hardest to Attend Cosplay Event in Japan’ on the internet because of the awful unique cosplays that are seen every year.
And now, we bring you Kyoto University’s 2017 Graduation Ceremony which, of course, descended into chaos.
This is a picture of the graduation ceremony uploaded to the university’s official Facebook page. At the very front of the line, a silhouette extremely similar to the main character of a certain manga ……! I wonder why he sat in the front row.

Tokyo Tarareba Musume ‘Tara and Reba’
From the drama whose last episode aired on 22 March, Tara-chan and Reba-chan。The series was based on the original manga by Akiko Higashimura. It’s not really cosplay but these kinds of panels are seen often.

Kyoto University Student I.D Card
There are a lot of Kyoto University guys with this stuck to their foreheads that have set off for downtown
I wanted to jump out from a Student I.D. Card! How dignified.

The shaking icons just before you delete an app on an iPhone. The idea is amazing.

Students repeating a year level won’t attend first period but attend the graduation ceremony
From the Pokemon series, Exeggutor and Exeggutor (Sun and Moon). It seems like the cosplayers are repeating a year and have written ‘Exeggutor Credits Dance’ on the Exeggutors’ trunk section. At least they show some kind of enthusiasm.

Next year is Katsura too
A graduate school student with ‘Escape from Katsura……I couldn’t……’ Maybe a student who attends the Katsura Campus? Try hard again next year!

Suddenly, a fallen graduation square
Rather than cosplay, it’s an object but it reads ‘Stop! Graduation!’ and a recreation of a square from the board game The Game of Life. At Kyoto U, it is the event: ‘You get awarded with a degree at graduation’. In the actual Game of Life, if you land on this space, you may be the strongest, in a way.

KyoDai Graduation, this year is also too chaotic
In addition, there were also cosplays of the villain character from Kemono Friends, Cerulean, Pokemon’s Bellsprout, and Jesus Christ.

Kyoto University’s graduation ceremony is too strong…
They’re in a different dimension to us with terrible academic ability
This graduation is certainly a different dimension……. I’m already looking forward to next year’s graduation!
2018 is almost out, guys and girls, and that means that another anime year is ready to take its place.
