Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles: Jill Valentine

resident evil: umbrella chronicles cosplay - jill valentineOne of the original protagonists of the series, Jill Valentine returned in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles as a member of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). She then works with Chris Redfield to expose and destroy the Umbrella Corporation where they are forced to defeat Umbrella's newest BOW, T-ALOS.

I wasn't too sure if I could post this in my other blog, given the guidelines there, but I had to show this awesome cosplay! I guess RE fans would tell me that Jill doesn't really have bangs (well, she does, but only a few loose strands) and that she lacks that white sweater tied around her waist, but really, isn't this a great cosplay of her? Good job!

This is a real costume with real LED lights, and Harrison is currently selling it on eBay, open for bidding until December 3, 2009.

You could probably win a cosplay competition with this, if he hasn’t already. You can view the rest of the photoshoot in his blog. Great work!

Fate/Unlimited Codes: Saber Lily

fate/unlimited codes cosplay - saber lilyLittle is known about Saber Lily, aside from the fact that she is officially another version of Saber. Fans speculate that she is quite possibly the direct opposite of Dark Saber from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, but there is no real history behind her appearance.

None that we know of as of yet anyway.

Beautiful cosplay! Looks like it was done in a private photo shoot, since Saber Lily’s costume looks really hard to move around in. Thank you very much to Still Doll for sharing this!

Unknown Entry 039

unknown cosplay 039I was cleaning up my hard drives when I came across this picture. I remember finding this image a few years back but never featured it because I didn’t know who she was.

Good thing I didn’t delete it… and good thing too that I got to continue the unknown cosplays section. Hopefully, someone can tell me who she is and who she is cosplaying as? Please? Wild guesses are welcomed! But please remember to leave your name in your comments!

EDIT: Thanks to Vk for letting us know this is Taiwanese actress, Megan Lai!

Guilty Gear X: Dizzy

guilty gear x cosplay - dizzyThe daughter of the original Commander Gear, Justice, Dizzy was found by an old couple who had no children of their own. People began to fear her when her body aged from that of an infant into a teenager’s in only 3 years time. It was later identified that Dizzy, who had grown wings and a tail, was a Gear; an ultimate weapon of mass destruction. Her foster parents did their best to protect her, but she was later found and abused, beginning her life as a hunted bounty.

I didn’t think I’d be able to find a nice cosplay of Dizzy. Her outfit is pretty revealing, so it’s quite hard to cosplay her. Thank you for sending this in, Chips! And yes, please feel free to email me any photos you’d like to share!

Gyakuten Saiban 3: Auchi Takefumi

gyakuten saiban 3 / phoenix wright: ace attorney - trials and tribulations cosplay - auchi takefumi / winston payneThe "Rookie Killer" who enjoys mocking young attorneys to no avail, Auchi Takefumi is a prosecutor who generally starts the case strong, but if quickly demoralized when defense attorneys find holes in his evidence.

In the English version, his name is Winston Payne, which is a pun of “Wince in Pain”.

I miss playing the Gyakuten Saiban series and making Payne weep, haha! I’m still waiting for Miles’ game to come out early next year! It should prove to be very interesting to play the opposing team. But anyway, really great job on this cosplay! Thanks for sharing it!

Gundam Seed Destiny: Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne

gundam seed destiny cosplay - kira yaamto and lacus clyneKira was severely wounded in the war that had broken out on earth when he was brought to the Clyne Household. With the help of Lacus, her father Siegel Clyne, and their family friend Reverend Malchio, Kira recovers and they grant him safe haven in their home.

When word of the ZAFT’s forces’ plans to attack Earth Alliance base JOSH-A reaches them, Lacus provides Kira with a ZAFT uniform and helps him attain the ZGMF-X10A Freedom in order to help his friends who were still aboard Archangel. It was during this time that Lacus showed her support and affections to Kira by wishing him good fortune and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Aren’t they cute? Admittedly, I prefer Athrun over Kira, but Kira and Lacus make a cute couple anyway! Thank you for sharing this!

Dead or Alive: Lei Fang

unknown cosplay 038, dear or alive cosplay - lei fangI actually know this one.

Or should know this one.

She's fairly famous, both the cosplayer and the character, but I've been beating my head about her for a month now and I still don't remember which fighting game she's from.

I must be getting old.

Someone please tell me what character she's cosplaying?

Pretty please?

...wasn't it a "Mai" something?

EDIT: Thanks to Sweet and Horror for commenting to say this is Lei Fang from the Dead or Alive Series!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 02

vocaloid cosplay - black rock shooter - kuroi mato 02With the popularity of Black Rock Shooter rising, Japanese Anime director Yamamoto Yutaka is said to take on the project of directing the series Black Rock Shooter, set to be released early spring of 2010.

It's amazing how a fan-made anime music video gained so much popularity that it's become an anime series. I'm very excited to see what Huke will come up with.

Hopefully, the fans of Black Rock Shooter will like this cosplay and let it tide them over til we see the anime. Nice work!

Princess Tutu: Princess Tutu 02

princess tutu cosplay - princess tutuThe elegant and graceful dancer, Princess Tutu is Arima Ahiru’s alter ego who is unselfishly in love with Prince Mytho. She is caught in a dilemma of saying her true feeling because if she is to confess to him, she will turn into a speck of light and vanish forever. Thus, she fulfills her duty and collects the shards of Mytho’s heart in order to give him true happiness.

Beautiful cosplay! I’m glad a real ballerina decided to cosplay her since I’m a huge fan of the series. I only wish there was a Rue or Mytho with her. Great job!

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Chibi Moon

sailor moon s cosplay - sailor chibi moonThe outgoing daughter of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Chibi Moon dreams of becoming a beautiful lady one day. She is a perfectionist who prefers to do things alone so she can have her way. As the series progresses, she learns to open herself more, learning what true maturity really is.

I didn’t think anyone could get her hair to look quite that right. But I think I like her red eyes more than anything! Very convincing cosplay, and it even has Konata’s stamp of approval! Great work!
