Seikon no Qwaser: Alexander "Sasha" Nikolaevich Hell

seikon no qwaser cosplay - alexander sasha nikolaevich hellAlexander is a Qwaser with the element of Iron. He has the capability of forming a black scythe at least twice his size along with the ability of vibrating atoms in the iron to generate the immense heat necessary to forge alloys of iron without needing an external blast furnace. He is very stern with anyone who decides on their own to refer to him as “Sasha”.

To be honest, the plot and the character descriptions don’t make a lot of sense to me, so forgive me if the article is “lacking” today. If it needs editing, please let me know! And thanks again to Cherokee for sending this in!

unknown cosplay 97 from winter comiket 2010 - to aru kagaku no railgun cosplay - uiharu kazari and saten ruiko

I could have sworn I’ve seen these two somewhere before… but now I can’t remember from where! I thought it was Bakemonogatari, but the character list doesn’t include a girl with flowers in her hair.

I hope someone recognizes them! Thanks to Michelle for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know this is Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko from To Aru Kagaku no Railgun!

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Makinami Mari Illustrious 05

evangelion: 2.0 you can (not) advance cosplay - makinami mari illustrious 5Makinami Mari Illustrious’ designation amongst the Children has yet to be revealed, though she is once referred as “Problem Child”. In the preview of the 3rd Rebuild movie, Mari is seen taking off her glasses while in confinement. She is also shown having a private conversation with an unknown character.

She’s a strange character if you ask me, but undoubtedly very cute. Besides, Sakamoto Maaya is her seiyuu, so how can you not love her? Thanks again to Daniel for sending this in!

Final Fantasy IX: Zidane Tribal

final fantasy ix cosplay - zidane tribal by da-monkeyA Genome created by Garland on the planet Terra, Zidane Tribal was created to replace Kuja as a more powerful “Angel of Death”. However, Kuja became jealous of his successor and cast Zidane down to Gaia, where he was found by Baku and his group of thieves, Tantalus.

Before the events of the game, Zidane left Baku in search of his real home with only his memory of a blue light to guide him. He was unsuccessful in his quest and returned to Baku to rejoin Tantalus.

Awesome cosplay by da-monkey! Definitely well-deserving of the Daily Deviation award. Congratulations also to the photographer, Kogenta85!

Bleach: Kurosaki Ichigo 03

bleach cosplay - kurosaki ichigo 3 by coco-kunWhile training under Urahara Kisuke to become a Soul Reaper with his own powers, Kurosaki Ichigo partially becomes a hollow, the same evil spirit that he is fighting to protect people from. This leaves him with an insane inner hollow spirit that tries to take control of his body to fight. Within his inner world, the hollow mirrors Ichigo’s appearance, usually with pale white skin and hair, revealing black eyes with golden pupils.

Awesome cosplay by Coco-kun! The black and white photography is very effective in achieving the hollow world setting! Be sure to check out his deviant art gallery!

Vampire Knight: Kiryuu Ichiru

vampire knight cosplay - kiryuu ichiru by artemisia of dreams tradersZero's younger identical twin brother, Ichiru failed to become a Vampire Hunter due to his weak body and lack of hunter talents. He was believed to have been killed by the pure-blood vampire, Hio Shizuka, but he returned to Zero’s side 4 years later, revealing that he had willingly become Shizuka’s servant. She had given him her blood to cure his chronic illness in exchange for his loyalty, but she did not turn him into a vampire.

Amore’s twin, Artemisia makes a great Ichiru, much like how Amore makes an awesome Zero. Twins cosplaying twins; can’t go wrong there! Thanks again for allowing me to post this!

Kuroshitsuji II: Claude Faustus and Alois Trancy

kuroshitsuji ii cosplay - calude fautus and alois trancy by neko16 and juunanaJust as Alois Trancy is the literary foil of Ciel Phantomhive, Claude Faustus also contrasts Sebastian Michaelis in order to highlight various features of Sebastian’s personality. Claude is more indifferent, hardly ever showing any emotion, and a perfectionist who has complete control over the other household servants. Unlike Sebastian, Claude never seems to attempt to stop Alois from doing anything unjust or inappropriate.

Welcome to the new Cosplay Holic, the Kuroshitsuji Edition! Please let me know if anything isn’t working properly, or if the colors are too bright, and I will do my best to adjust them accordingly! I just hope using pink and gray won’t drive the boys away from my site.

Featuring Neko16 as Claude Faustus and Juunana as Alois Trancy! Please pay them a visit in the deviant art accounts!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki 07

the melancholy of suzumiya haruhi cosplay - nagato yuki 7 from japan winter comiket 2010After the "camo cricket" incident, Kyon realized that Yuki plays a "behind the scenes" role, making her one of Haruhi's puppeteers whose goals are to ensure Haruhi is fully satisfied and to make sure that order and balance are maintained. Yuki joined the SOS Brigade to monitor Haruhi and prevent her from feeling bored or disappointed because it is generally believed by the Data Overmind that such a drastic event could mean the end of the universe.

Such a heavy responsible for a cute girl, but one Yuki can handle flawlessly! Thanks again to Michelle for sending this in!

Doraemon: Dorami

doraemon cosplay - dorami from winter comiket 2010Doraemon’s little sister, Dorami became siblings with Doraemon because they drank out of each other’s oil cans. Dorami is more quick-witted and brighter because she drank the lower portion of the oil which contains more nutrients than the upper portion. She is manufactured on the 2nd of December 2114, 2 years after her brother was made.

So cute! I love how her apron pocket has the same pattern as the one on Dorami’s belly. Thanks again to Haley for sending this!

Doraemon: Doraemon

doraemon cosplay - doraemon from japan winter comiket 2010A blue robotic cat from the 22nd century, Doraemon is manufactured on the 3rd of September 2112 bearing the code MS-903 at the Matsushiba Robot Factory. Doraemon is considered to be a substandard product because many of his robotic features malfunctioned after production. During his manufacture, he got struck by lightning and lost an important screw in his brain, affecting his performance in both studies and socializing.

Cute cosplay! I have to admit, I got pretty confused with who she was until Lily pointed out the bell around her neck. Thanks to Haley for sending this!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Honda Sakura

unknown cosplay 96 from winter comiket 2010 - hetalia: axis powers cosplay - japan female version aka honda sakuraIf I had to take a guess, two characters come to mind: Suzumiya Haruhi from The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi or Hirasawa Yui from K-On! It’s because her hair is similar to both characters, but the kimono reminds me Kinomoto Sakura from an episode in Card Captor Sakura.

What do you guys think? Maybe we should vote on it? Thanks again to Miguel for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Clauie for letting me know this is the female version of Japan from Hetalia: Axis Powers, also known as Honda Sakura!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 19

vocaloid 2 cosplay - hatsune miku 19

Did you know that Hatsune Miku has made a guest appearance in an anime? Miku and other Vocaloids apparently appeared in episode 5 and 13 of “Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei” auditioning to dub Otonashi Meru’s voice.

Miku as a voice actress? I think that’s a cute idea, don’t you? Thanks to Reign for sending this!
