Soul Eater: Eruka Frog, Medusa Gorgon, and Franken Stein

Both Eruka Frog and Franken Stein are victims of Medusa Gorgon, a snake-themed witch who contains one thousand magical arrow-shaped snakes inside her body. Stein’s insanity worsened after Medusa forced Crona to plant a magical snake inside his replaced weapon partner, Marie Mjolnir. Eruka, on the other hand, was infested with Medusa’s countless magical snakes that threaten to kill her, unless she follows Medusa’s orders.

Awesome cosplay by Cosplay-vania’s Mimi as Eruka, Kathryn as Medusa, and Stuart as Stein! They have a lot of action shots in their blog, so please give them a visit too! Thanks to Mimi for sending this in and to Fenyx Design for the awesome photography!

The Rose of Versailles: Lady Oscar François de Jarjayes 02

Although raised as a boy by her father, Lady Oscar has no reason to pretend to be a man because most of those at Versailles know that she is a woman. She fell in love with Hans Axel von Fersen, a Swedish count, who unfortunately only had eyes for the queen and thus treated Oscar like a friend without knowing her true feelings for him. When the revolution began, André Grandier confessed to Oscar that he loved her, and she realized that she loved him too.

Another beautiful cosplay by Bluewater! This is apparently her most favorite costume as well as her most expensive one. Please visit her website for more of her works! Thanks again for allowing me to post this!

Vocaloid 2: Lily

Lily first appeared on the cover of the CD "Anim.o.v.e. 01" on the 19th of August 2009 before the announcement of her vocaloid development. Her voice source is the lead vocalist of m.o.v.e., Masuda Yuri. The idea of developing a vocaloid based on Yuri's voice came about as one of the m.o.v.e. members was a vocaloid user.

Cute cosplayer from Japan’s Chokaigi 2012! The cosplayer looks familiar somehow, does anyone recognize her? Thanks again to Stilzkin for sending this in!

Bleach: Neliel Tu Oderschvank 07

Seventeen months after Aizen Sosuke’s defeat, Neliel Tu Orderschvank went to Karakura Town in search of Kurosaki Ichigo. She then informed him about the Vandenreich, a group of Quincies who apparently survived the massacre years ago, have taken over Hueco Mundo. Both she and Pesche also told him that Dondochakka was captured and asked for his help.

Another amazing cosplay by Moena Riu! She now has a personal blog, so please give her a visit to see more from this photo shot. Thanks again for allowing me to post this!

Kimi ni Todoke: Kazehaya Shota and Kuronuma Sawako

Kuronuma Sawako is a sweet and timid girl who is often misunderstood by her classmates because of her resemblance to Sadako from The Ring. As a result, rumors began to spread that Sawako could actually see ghosts and even place curses on people. However, when her idol, Kazehaya Shota spoke to her, everything changed, and she tries her best in making friends just like she always dreamed of.

I realize this is Miura Haruma and Tabe Mikako from the official live-action movie of Kimi ni Todoke, but I think it could still be considered cosplay, wouldn’t you agree? Besides, after I saw the movie, I knew I had to feature them, even if I didn’t like the ending very much.

I hope you guys like the new layout! I found this photo in Rana-anime's Blog!

Inuyasha: Sesshoumaru 06

When Kohaku and Rin were taken to the underworld by a hellhound, Sesshomaru pursued them but Rin unfortunately stopped breathing during her captivity. Furious, Sesshomaru killed the Underworld Master in an attempt to save her, but was still unable to revive her. Realizing the pain of losing someone important, Tenseiga reacted to his compassion and purified the underworld, bringing them back to the world of the living.

This is Stein, a male cosplayer from the Philippines who makes a wonderful Sesshoumaru. I’m actually glad a guy cosplayed him this time, because he is also one of my most favorite characters. The photo was taken by ~eLLeDejaVu during the 888 Chinatown Square's “Pearl of the Orient” Convention in Bacolod City, Philippines. Thanks again for allowing me to feature this, Stein! We’re looking forward to more cosplays from you!

Touhou Project: Kirisame Marisa 03

Known to be a hard worker, Marisa is trying to catch up to Reimu with her secret training and magic development. This makes her a good contrast to other humans appearing in the series because most of them either have natural born talent like Reimu, or strong abilities like Sakuya. So she is sometimes referred as the “most human-ish human” in Touhou Project.

Cute cosplayer! It looks like she’s in a convention hall. I wonder which one? Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Castlevania: Judgement: Aeon

Aeon is a member of a group that watches over and preserves the flow of time. Once he became aware of Galamoth's plan to send the Time Reaper to destroy Dracula and change history, Aeon pulled together fighters from different parts of the Castlevania timeline and placed them into a time rift. He then set them against each other, and even battled them himself, hoping to find the one with the most chance of defeating the Time Reaper.

Those are some of the most epic details I have ever laid eyes on! You really need to check out the full view of this photo. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Sailor Moon R: Sailor Pluto

The oldest among the Sailor Senshi, Sailor Pluto has been described as distant and somewhat lonely. This is possibly due to duty of being stationed at the Space-Time door entrusted to her by Queen Serenity. However, she does consistently display warmth and affection for Chibiusa, and later cares for Hotaru along with Michiru and Haruka.

Another epic cosplay by Saya! I wonder why I’m getting a lot of her photos lately. I guess her fans are missing her a lot these days? Thanks to Maritess for sending this in and to MPzero for the awesome photography!

Kuroshitsuji: Sebastian Michaelis 10

In recent chapters of the manga as well as the second season of the anime, it was revealed that Sebastian Michaelis wasn’t always the perfect butler that everyone knew. In fact, he and his master, Ciel Phantomhive, often got on each other’s nerves during the first few days (or perhaps even weeks) of Ciel’s return as the head of the Phantomhive household. In the end, they managed to sort out their differences and “compromised” to some extent.

That is just so awesome! The angle of the shot, the expression on the cosplayer’s face, and the hand gesture looks so in-character! Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!
