Touhou Project: Cirno 03

In the events that occurred in Touhou Hisoutensoku, Cirno has matured, albeit slightly, from her usual childish behavior. Cirno was intrigued by what she believed to be the great Daidarabotchi. She hoped that she could tame the giant yokai so that she would no longer be afraid of anything. However, she admitted that she could not defeat the Daidarabotchi if it lives in the hot spring’s boiler as it is too hot for her.

Cute cosplay from Comiket 78! She even has a pair of cute wings on her back, but I still wouldn’t mess with her. I wonder who that character is, sitting behind her? Thanks to Olive for sending this in!

Tenjou Tenge: Natsume Maya, Natsume Aya, Isuzu Emi, and Kuzunoha Mana

When Nagi Souchirou and Bob Mikahara came to Toudou Academy, they intended to rule the school by beating up anyone who got in their way, just like they had done in previous schools. Little did they know that Toudou was no ordinary school; it was founded to teach and integrate different fighting styles and some of its students posses supernatural abilities such as pyrokinesis, precognition, and superhuman strength. After an altercation with the Executive Club, Souchirou and Bob join the only surviving club that dares to oppose them: the Juken Club.

Although I know this is from Tenjou Tenge, I have no idea who these girls are. Anyone care to shed some light into their identities please? Thanks to Paula for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Cze for commenting and identifying who these girls are!

Sailor Moon: Neo-Queen Serenity

During the second major story arc of Sailor Moon, it was revealed that Tsukino Usagi will eventually become the queen regnant of a new Silver Millennium in the 30th century known as Crystal Tokyo. Usagi learned that she will be given the title “Sovereign of Earth” and Chiba Mamoru will become King Endymion alongside her. It was stated in the anime that she will become Neo-Queen Serenity after warding off a second Ice Age, but the specifics of which were never discussed.

King Crimson makes such a beautiful Serenity, wouldn’t you agree? Please visit her website for more of her cosplays! Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Kamui Gakupo and Megurine Luka

Amae mo shitto mo yorokobi ni kaete
Turn spoiled behavior and jealousy into joy

Motomeru bakari ja tsumaranai kara
Because doing nothing but seeking is boring

Tsukinai yasashiisa wo ageru
I'll give you unending tenderness

DA KARA kimi wo kaesanai
SO I'm not sending you back

Translated by Naru Monster

Another really cute cosplay by JL and her boyfriend, Kyo-suke! It’s so sweet that they have the same interests in cosplay. They look cute together, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks again to JL for allowing me to feature this!

Neon Gensis Evangelion: Soryu Asuka Langley and Ayanami Rei

Although Asuka started out with a high synchronization ratio and exceptional skills as an Eva pilot, her defeat in battle by the Angel Zeruel caused her self-confidence to dwindle, losing her effectiveness as a pilot. Asuka became infuriated when she was ordered to serve as Rei’s backup, and decided to launch herself in Unit 02 to attack the Angel alone. She paid the price for her recklessness, however, as she was overwhelmed by its attack, forcing her to relive painful memories which resulted in a mental and emotional breakdown.

A very lovely cosplay of Asuka by Kanda Midori and an equally stunning Rei! Too bad we have no idea who Rei’s cosplayer is. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Cabbage Merchant and Ty Lee

Ty Lee is a cheerful and energetic girl who is close friends with Princess Azula and Mai. She specializes in hand-to-hand combat, utilizing a unique form of martial arts that attacks the pressure points on the human body. Striking certain points enables her to disrupt that person’s chi flow, temporarily paralyzing them and removing their ability to use bending.

Why she’s decided to pick on the Cabbage Merchant is known only to the cosplayer, idunno123! It’s very seldom that I’d come across athletic cosplayers like her, so I definitely had to feature her! Please visit her Deviant Art Gallery for more of her cosplays!

Rozen Maiden: Suiseiseki 05

When Suiseiseki made Jun form a contract with her, she used Souseiseki's ring which allowed Souseiseki to break free from Kirakishou's control. However, she was incomplete as she lacked her Rosa Mystica which was in Suigintou’s possession. In the end, Suiseiseki gave her own Rosa Mystica to save her beloved sister.

Awesome cosplay by Hina-desu! She really looks like a doll thanks to MPZero’s mad photography skills. Thanks to Reign for sending this!

Soul Eater: Soul Evans

A demon scythe, Soul Evans is Maka Albarn’s laid back, nonchalant partner who tries to maintain a “cool” attitude. He has a tendency of bickering with Maka over unimportant things, but is fiercely loyal; even willing to die for his friends’ safety. He owns a motorcycle, which he and Maka use as transportation.

The expression on Goku Lover’s face is absolutely priceless! I really love the addition of the umbrella too, even though it wasn’t really meant for this cosplay originally. Please view more of her cosplays in her Deviant Art account!

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon: Croma

A mysterious Black Magician, Croma is said to originally be the Oracle of Darkness until the Destroyer began his rampage. Because of his weakened state, Croma encouraged her sister, Shirma, to aid the other Oracles in summoning the Guardian Beast in order to seal the town’s memories, and thus include the Destroyer.

…well, that’s the only thing I can gather about Croma from the FF Wiki. It’s probably the wrong Croma, but this is definitely another amazing cosplay by Martin! According to him, this cosplay debuted on the 16th of October at the EB Games Expo 2011, Gold Coast Australia:

The staff lights up in the dark, made from a glowing diamond and neon-shoelaces. The costume also glows in the dark.

Now his fans can ask for a photo of this at night or in a dark room, yes? Thanks again to Martin for sharing this with us!

Naruto: Momochi Zabuza 03

Initially portrayed as aggressive, arrogant, and cruel, Momochi Zabuza was willing to become Gato’s thug in order to gain enough funds to start a second coup d’état on the Mizukage. He was also willing to kill anyone who stood in his path, including Gato once Zabuza had the money he needed. He used his own men as his pawns to fulfill his ambitions, including Haku whom he raised to be an efficient tool.

This is apparently Kenneth's first cosplay! He wrote in his email that he is living in Singapore, working as a personal trainer. I believe that shows quite well in this photo, am I right? Thanks again to Kenneth for sharing this with us!

Cosplay Tutorial: Gems that Glow

Because a lot of people on Cosplay Holic's Facebook FanPage seem to be interested in advanced techniques for cosplays, I've decided to post this video by Kamui:

Frankly, I quite surprised that you can actually add lights to your cosplays. This is perfect for World of Warcraft cosplays as well any of the series produced by CLAMP.

So, what do you guys think? Would you like to see more posts like this in the future? Please leave your comments in this post and let me know! And after you do that, visit Kamui for more of her awesome cosplays!

Nurarihyon no Mago: Yuki Onna

Tsurara, who is more commonly known as Yuki Onna, is Nura Rikuo’s trusted attendant. She is part of his new “Hyakki Yako” who follows him to school under a human guise known as Oikawa Tsurara. She sometimes acts as a cook in the Nura House, making delicious, cold dishes.

Nice cosplay by Cerafi and equally stunning photography by Hexlord! This was apparently taken during the Cosfest IX 2010 at Downtown East. Getting the perfect shot in a convention is always quite challenging. Thanks to Ahupito for sending this in!
