Fate/Unlimited Codes: Saber Alter

While Saber Alter still takes her duty as king seriously, she no longer believes in the ideals set for herself and her people. She does believe that it is her obligation to lead her people for the sake of those who lost their lives because of her. The same is not true for the Holy Grail War, as she could only hold a slight amount of pity towards those left alive.

Chinese cosplayer Wei makes a beautiful Saber Alter! You might remember her, as I featured her last Christmas as Belldandy! Thanks to Carol for introducing me to her!

Guilty Gear X: Dizzy 03

Although Dizzy is often described to be innocent and pure, she also has a realistic side as she views the destruction of nature by humans as part of a natural cycle. She is also very eager to learn about anything and everything around her, and is excellent in gathering data. The names of Dizzy’s wings are Necro (the Grim reaper wing) and Undine (the angel wing).

Meet Mike (ミケ), not the nickname for “Michael” but pronounced as Mi-Ke from Cure! She has a lot of excellent cosplays in her account, so please be sure to give her your support! Thanks to Terrence for sending this in!

Yami no Matsuei: Asato Tsuzuki and Muraki Kazutaka

An expert manipulator, Muraki Kazutaka is a well-respected physician who laments his inability to save lives while hiding the fact that he is actually a serial killer. His troubled childhood led to his obsession with Asato Tsuzuki, a patient of his grandfather’s, who stayed alive for eight years without food, water, or sleep. Muraki wants Tsuzuki’s body in order to bring back his brother, Saki, to life so that Muraki could kill him himself as revenge for murdering their mother.

As creepy as this series was, the artwork was absolutely amazing! Kidzuki Sakura (姫月さくら) looks gorgeous as that crazy doctor, and her partner, Mitsugu (ミツグ) makes a brilliant Tsuzuki too! Thanks to Hachimitsu for sending this in!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter and Kaito

真っ暗で明かりもない
On this pitch-black and unlit road in my path
崩れかけたこの道で
It starts to crumble right before my eyes
あるはずもないあの時の希望が見えた気がした
I felt like I should see the shining light of hope from back then,
But it cant exist anymore

どうして
Tell me why

“Black★Rock Shooter”

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san: Nyarlathotep 02

While staying on earth, Nyarlathotep took on the name Yasaka Nyaruko and poses as Mahiro’s cousin while staying at his house and even attending his school. No one knows Nyaruko’s age, but she has already graduated from space college. Her alma matter also happens to be one of the best universities, and she graduated at the top of her class. She later entered the Space Defense Agency after her exam.

She’s adorable! And a great shot by Marcello as always! Please visit the photographer’s Flickr album, you’ll see more of Nyaruko there!

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou: Motomiya Akane and Minamoto no Yorihisa

A serious individual and a samurai of the Imperial Court, Minamoto no Yorihisa swore fealty to Motomiya Akane as his master and will therefore always obey Akane’s demands. When the Hachiyou were cursed by Akuram’s arrows, Yorihisa followed Akane into the Demon Cave, even though he could no longer remember her as the Priestess of the White Dragon God. Akane later praised Yorihisa for his strength, much to Akuram’s annoyance and anger.

This looks like it could have been a scene from the anime or manga! I haven’t finished reading the entire series yet, but I do like Yorihisa very much. Please do pay the cosplayers’ profiles, Shiina (椎和) and Tsuki-kage Akira (つきかげあきら), a visit for more of their photos!

Gintama: Hasegawa Taizou

Born into a family of lowly samurais, Hasegawa Taizou married into his wife’s family due to their difference in social status, and thus adopted her family name. After a very rough start in his new job, he slowly worked his way up and became the head of the Immigration Bureau. He later lost his job and became a MADAO which roughly translates to “totally hopeless middle-aged man”. The term MADAO later bore other meanings throughout the series.

Marcello has gone off to Japan and covered Comiket 85 once again, so expect more unknown cosplays coming soon! The only reason why I recognized this character was because of a friend of mine who introduced me to the term MADAO, hehe! But you gotta admit, this is a very accurate cosplay of Hasegawa! Thanks to Marcello for letting me feature his photos on Cosplay Holic!

Uta no Prince-sama: Camus 02

Hailing from the Kingdom of Permafrost, Camus appears to have two different personalities depending if he’s on or off screen. To his fans, he is charismatic, graceful, and courteous. However, his true self appears to cold and callous and is loyal only to the Silk Queen.

Stay is probably one of the cosplayers I idolize and really hope to meet one day! I think she’s a really nice person from her blog entries before, but I don’t think she blogs anymore, which is sad.

Inu x Boku SS: Miketsukami Soushi 02

When Soushi was young, his family kept him under house arrest because they feared his kitsune powers. In order to obtain freedom, he learned to manipulate and appeal to others through obeying their whims. As a result, he never developed his own personality… until he began writing to Shirakiin Ririchiyo under the guise of her fiancé, Shoukiin Kagero.

Shin is a high school graduate studying hard to get into a university of his choice. When he was young, his father accidentally killed a man who was under the influence of alcohol. Although Shin was not directly involved, he was still bullied and avoided in school as a result of the incident. This drives Shin to make a successful future for himself so that he will no longer be compared to his father.
