Death Note: Ryuk

Bored with the activities of the Shinigami Realm, Ryuk obtained a second Death Note and dropped it in the Human Realm in hopes of amusing himself. He deliberately wrote instructions on the front page so that people would understand its purpose. When Yagami Light stumbled upon the Death Note, Ryuk began following him around to see how Light intended to use it.

That’s pretty creepy! And maybe an official image from the movie? I’m not sure, but it’s very convincing! Thanks to Caramel for sending this in!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Kururugi Suzaku and Lelouch Lamperouge 02

Two months after Lelouch Lamperouge is declared the Ruler of the World, Lelouch arranged for the public execution of the Black Knight Leaders and the U.F.N. Representatives. Before he could do so, however, Zero interrupted him and stabbed him in the stomach. The Zero who killed Lelouch was actually Kururugi Suzaku, and his final act was the culmination of Zero Requiem, just as they had planned. Lelouch gave Suzaku one final order: to disregard his old identity and play the role of Zero for the rest of his life. Thus, a new world was created.

So pretty! And such a sad ending. Perhaps I need to find the DVDs for this anime very soon. Thanks to Garcia for sending this!

Togainu no Chi: Shiki and Akira

When Akira was falsely accused of a crime, a mysterious woman offers him his freedom in exchange for participating in the deadly game known as Igra. Akira must defeat Igra’s strongest man, the king or Il-re if he wishes to remain a free man.

Shiki is the Il-re who has never been defeated. However, even though he kills Igra participants frequently, he neither caries nor collects tags which serves as ones proof as a participant. He formed Igra in order to kill Nano and quell his memories of the first time they met.

…well, I think that’s Akira with Shiki? Iyma never mentioned who they are cosplaying as, but this is my best guess. Thanks again, for sending this, Iyma!

Gundam Seed Destiny: Meer Campbell 05

Although she did not hide her true identity from Athrun Zala when they first met, Meer Campbell enjoys living as Lacus Clyne and refused to escape with Athrun when he defected knowing she would be exposed as a fake. Once Meer was exposed, however, she tried to lure the real Lacus out of hiding and have her assassinated as suggested by her bodyguard so that she would become the real Lacus Clyne. Meer dies shortly after their meeting as she had a change of heart when Lacus encouraged her to live as herself.

Beautiful Meer! And definitely very much like the real character! I love her pose and those cute sandals, even if they’re not the same as the original design. Thanks to Perioth for emailing this!

Kuroshitsuji II: Alois Trancy

Earl Alois Trancy has a tendency to shift from being a carefree and happy child to a morbid and manipulative individual. Like Ciel Phantomhive, he has formed a contract with a demon known as Claude Faustus. However, that is where their similarities end; as Ciel thinks of Sebastian Michaelis as his Knight/Servant, Alois is completely dependent on Claude.

I did not like the second season of Kuroshitsuji very much, but I do love how this cosplay turned out. Thanks to Flight for suggesting to feature *juunana of Deviant Art!

Fresh Pretty Cure!: Eas

For the second entry of the day and to further add to my depression, I have another girl who looks like she could be a character from a fighting game or fantasy manga. This is a double post for contributor, Ingrid, since she’s sent me so much material lately that I can’t keep up!

I’m only sorry I could help you identify her, Ingrid, but I hope my readers will be able to! Thanks in advance, everyone!

EDIT: Thanks to Yulius for letting me know this is Eas from Fresh Pretty Cure and to Syaza for confirming it!

Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica: Luca Trulyworth

It's beginning to become very depressing that I have so many unknown cosplays in Cosplay Holic. Maybe I should fly to Japan and stay there for a while to get myself up-to-date.

Anyway! I’m sure you can tell from all the details that the cosplayer worked really hard on her costume for Comiket 2010. I wonder if she’s from a fighting game or a fantasy manga? Thanks again to Ingrid for the photo!

Fairy Tail: Erza Scarlet

A very strong individual and one of the main characters of the series, Erza is known to be quite strict with the rules of Fairy Tail. If anyone steps out of line or is slow in doing what she asks, they are quickly punished. Even Natsu and Gray almost immediately stop arguing whenever someone mentions her name.

That is one of the most impressive cosplays I’ve seen in a long time! I got this from one of Tori Avalon’s plurks, and I thought it was definitely worth mentioning. Thanks to Panoramic Panda for sharing this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know the cosplayer's name is Kristel Lim!

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Makinami Mari Illustrious and Ayanami Rei

At the apparent death of Soryu Asuka Langley, Ikari Shiji left NERV as he disapproved of his father’s actions. It was then that the Tenth Angel attacked, forcing Mari to hijack Unit-02 in an attempt to beat the Angel. However, even after she initiated the berserker mode, she was no match for it. Ayanami Rei then piloted Unit-00, but even with both of them working together, the Angel still remained unscathed.

And I won’t reveal any more than that! If you’d like to know what happened next, you’d best watch the movie yourself… Thanks again to Jamie for sending this!

Angel Beats!: Nakamura Yuri 02

When she was still alive, Nakamura Yuri lost her 3 younger siblings to burglars who were looking for valuables inside their home. She never forgave herself and vowed to fight against God, creating an organization known as the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS) which literally means “Afterlife War Front”. She is an effective leader of the organization, caring a lot for its members like a second family.

Beautiful cosplay! And now that I’ve read more about the character, Angel Beats! seems like a really good series. Thanks again to Aila for sending this in!

Final Fantasy XII: Vaan

A 17-year-old orphan who lost both his parents and his only brother Reks, Vaan is a cheerful and energetic boy who dreams of becoming a sky pirate in command of his own airship. As part of his “training”, he kills dire rats in the sewers of Rabanastre on a daily basis, earning him the nickname “Van Ratsbane”. He makes a living as Migelo’s assistant, running errands and at the same time, pick pocketing from Archadian soldiers, claiming to be taking back what is Dalmasca’s.

Beautifully detailed cosplay! It looks like the silver parts of the armor are made of heavy paper or cardboard. I wonder if the gauntlets are made of the same material? Thanks again to Syaza for the contribution!

Sound Horizon: Hortensia and Violette

Twins who are the exact opposites of one another, Hortensia and Violette were first featured in the album “Roman” by fantasy band, Sound Horizon. They represent day and night as well as life and death.

Aren’t they adorable? I wish I could read Japanese so that I’d know what’s written on the photograph though. Thanks to Timmy for sending this!
