Darkstalkers: Morrigan Aensland 02

After Morrigan was drawn into the human world by Pyron's strange power, she returned to her home with the news of her father’s death. She was the next successor to the Aensland throne but shirks her responsibility as Makai’s ruler, wishing only to live as she did before. She eventually meets Lilith and merged with her, fully restoring Morrigan’s power.

A very daring cosplay from Comiket 2010! I really love this white version of the character. I wonder if it’s always been a playable option in Darkstalkers? Thanks to Reese for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 11

When I mentioned having a liking for Miku’s original outfit, but having a soft spot for gothic lolita, I didn’t expect to find a cosplayer wearing something like this.

Needless to say, I am most pleasantly surprised.

Anyone know which of Miku’s songs this ensemble's from? Thanks to Marika for sending this!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki 05

SOS Brigade's "indispensible silent character”, Nagato Yuki was included into the Brigade when Haruhi arrived in the room and declared it as her own. Similar to Koizumi Itsuki, Yuki is obedient when orders are given, but it is noted that her loyalties lie more with Kyon rather than Haruhi. She is also very protective of Kyon, as evident when she used her body to shield him from Asakura Ryoko’s attack.

Beautiful and daring cosplay! Though I don’t remember Yuki actually wearing a bunny outfit in the anime. I thought it was only Haruhi and Mikuru. Thanks to Padme for sending this in!

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Makinami Mari Illustrious 02

The Provisional Evangelion Unit-05 which Mari pilots drastically differs from previous incarnations of the Eva Unit. It has four mechanical ”legs” that end in wheels and a lack of hands which is replaced with a jousting lance and “claw”. This unique design requires Mari to wear a helmet-like contraption in order to pilot Unit-05. Her plugsuit is also equipped with several attachments that connect to tubing that apparently help her in moving her unit.

So pretty! I really like her choice of setting for this photograph. Thanks to Quince for sending this!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Igiko

Another cute school girl with an outfit I really like. I actually have a skirt just like that, but I think hers has suspenders to go with it.

If anyone has any idea who this blond, twin-tailed, meganeko from Comiket 2010 is, please do let me know! Thanks guys!

…wait, is that Bugs Bunny on her tie?

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know she's Igiko or the female version of England from Hetalia: Axis Powers!

Toradora!: Aisaka Taiga 04

Where there are cute French Maids, there are also cute school girls… in a convention like Comiket 2010 anyway.

I have no idea what series she’s from, but I really like her uniform. Her wavy blond hair really suits the shape of her face too.

Guesses anyone? Thanks to Gundamu for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to vza004 and everyone who commented that she's Aisaka Taiga from Toradora! Now I wish I had finished watching this series... :(

HeartCatch PreCure!: Cure Marine and Cure Blossom

Classmates and neighbors, Kurumi Erika and Hanasaki Tsubomi are in their second year of Junior High School. Tsubomi loves every plant and would have joined the gardener’s club in her school, but she was forced to join the fashion club where Erika is the president of. Both girls began to change and mature as their friendship develops throughout the series.

That’s just so cute. And the cosplayers look like they’re really enjoying themselves. Thanks to Jamie for sending this!

Touhou Project: Cirno 02

Often called "⑨" (pronounced "nineball"), Cirno is a childlike ice fairy which ZUN labeled in the manual of Phantasmagoria of Flower View "⑨" as a symbol of "Baka" (Stupid). Arguably, she is not very bright due to her inexperience and age. She is considered to be the strongest of her kind, but is not a difficult opponent to defeat.

So cute! It looks like she might freeze something… or someone at any moment! Thanks to Ophelia for sending this in!

Dead or Alive: Lei Fang 02

Six years before the start of the first tournament, Lei Fang was saved by martial artist, Jann Lee, from a bunch of thugs. Although grateful, Lei Fang felt that she could have handled the situation by herself. She then mastered the art of Tai Chi Quan in order to prove her strength to Jann Lee.

A very daring cosplayer from Japan’s Comiket 2010! Looks like she has a lot of fans from the event already! Thanks to Bennihime for emailing this!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka 03

Unlike Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka’s vocal database is Japanese/English bilingual. Her name was chosen to express Crypton’s hope that she will transcend borders and cultural barriers. Since her voice provider is Japanese, she often sounds like she has a notable Japanese accent when singing in English. Previous Japanese vocaloids who were used to sing in English, however, often had a stronger accent than Luka.

Hasn’t Santa come a little early this year? Not that anyone is complaining, I’m sure. Thanks to Chloe for sending this in!

Dragon Ball: Tao Pai Pai

A highly skilled assassin for hire, Tao is the younger brother of Master Shen of the Crane School. Hiring him can be very expensive as he charges 10 billion Zeni per kill. His price went down 50% during his 20th anniversary when Commander Red hired him to kill Son Goku.

This is just one of the most awesome cosplays ever. And from such a classic series too! Thanks to Lemi for sending this!

Sound Horizon: Violette and Hortensia 02

Violette and Hortensia refer to the flowers "violets" and "hortensia/hydrangea". However, the kanji pronunciation can also mean “death” and “life” which is also the symbolism behind the flowers. Hiver Laurent, the owner of the dolls, placed his moon tattoo on Violette as a sign of death and his sun tattoo on Hortensia as a sign of life.

Even though they’re not twins, they’re still very cute cosplayers from Comiket 2010. Thanks to Ingrid for sending this!
