Audition Fashion Insider: Sailor Fuuku Set (Cross Academy Night Class’ Uniform Sets)
Audition Avatar Version:
Hello again everyone. Now, our featured avatar set for our Audition Fashion Insider is originated from a famous Japanese comic series for girls (shōjo manga) and animated series “Vampire Knight” (ヴァンパイア騎士 – Vanpaia Naito).
Here is a short description about this famous manga and animé series:
Vampire Knight is written by Matsuri Hino (樋野まつり- Hino Matsuri) who is also known for her works MeriPuri (Or Marchen Prince at some countries) and Captive Heart.
The series premiered in the January 2005 issue of LaLa magazine in Japan and is still on-going (it is currently a 6/7 volume manga). Chapters are collected and published in collected volumes by Hakusensha, with nine volumes currently released in Japan. The manga series is licensed in English by Viz Media. The English adaptation premiered in the July 2006 issue of Viz’s Shojo Beat magazine, with the collected volumes being published on a quarterly basis. Aside from ViZ Media and Shojo Beat, Chuang Yi is also one of the publishers of the comic series from another country.
Manga Version:
Two drama CDs were created for the series, as well as a twenty-six episode anime adaptation. It was produced by Studio Deen, the anime series’ first season aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between April 8, 2008 and July 1, 2008. The second season, titled “Vampire Knight Guilty” aired on the same station from October 7, 2008 and December 30, 2008. The anime uses many of the same voice actors as were used for the drama CDs.
Animated Version:
(In this picture, Cross Academy’s black school uniform is worn by the Day Class students, while the white school uniform is worn by the Night Class students.)
The story revolves in an academy named Cross Academy. Cross Academy is attended by two groups of students: the Day Class (they are identified by wearing a black school uniform) and the Night Class (they are identified by wearing a white school uniform). At twilight, when the students of the Day Class return to their dorm, they cross paths with the Night Class on their way to school. Yuuki Cross (黒主 優姫 – Kurosu Yūki), the main protagonist of the story, and Zero Kiryuu (錐生 零 – Kiryū Zero )are the Guardians of the school, there to protect the Day Class from the Academy’s dark secret: the Night Class is full of vampires.
Cosplay Version:
Why is this uniform set is chosen to become an inspiration for on-game avatar clothes in Audition Dance Battle Online at first?
I think it is because due of the popularity of this Japanese comic and the animated series around the world. But this is different from the two first articles which are posted here in Audition Fashion Insider before because those two first sets are really related to dancing and Korean music and culture, but this time it is not. And another thing, the design of the school uniforms is so unique.
But then in Audition Dance Battle Online, only the Night Class uniforms for both boys and girls are available in the Fashion Mall. And another thing, as you have noticed with the pictures, the skirt on the girl’s avatar is somehow different from the original Night Class uniform bottom skirt.
