Final Fantasy XII: Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca 02

A fiercely independent and driven young woman, Ashelia B’nargin Dalmasca will stop at nothing to restore her family to its rightful place. Her proud facade can only be broken by memories of Lord Rasler, as she is reminded of the wonderful memories of her youth.

Although Vaan is the game’s protagonist, most of the story focuses on Ashe’s drive to accumulate the power she needs to avenge her kingdom. However, she once turned away from great power when she realized that it would corrupt her ideals.

Rainer Tachibana makes such a beautiful Ashe! She has since deactivated her Deviant Art account, but if you’d like to see more of her cosplay, please visit her in Facebook! Thanks to Tony for sending this in!

Love Live!: Yazawa Nico

Yazawa Nico is an aggressive individual who will stop at nothing in achieving her goals. However, as an idol, she takes on an alternate personality who is always smiling and upbeat! She often thinks very highly of herself, but she also cares about the other members of μ's.

Misa looks cute as Nico, don’t you guys agree? For Love Live! fans, who is your favorite character in the series? Maybe I will feature that next, since Laurence sent in quite a bit. Thanks again for sharing this with us!

Kimi ni Todoke: Kurumizawa Ume and Miura Kento

Beautiful and popular, Kurumizawa Ume had the biggest crush on Kazehaya Shota and had stooped to petty tricks in order to win his heart. Although she appears to be extremely sweet and kind, she is only able to show her true self to Kuronuma Sawako. After getting an expected rejection from Shota, she began to accept Sawako as her rival, and no longer used unfair tactics as she had learned better. She once became angry at Miura Kento for saying unnecessary things to Sawako that caused a rift upon the developing relationship between Sawako and Shota.

Kento actually means well, but sometimes, I wish I could just slap the the guy. Kurumi, on the other hand, is one of those girls that I really can’t forgive and forget. Both are very unforgettable characters though, and I kinda wished Kento was in the movie too. Thanks to Jazz for sending this in!

Accel World: Kuroyukihime

The heroine and leader of the Nega Nebulus legion, the beautiful Black Snow Princess is also the Student Council Vice-President of Umesato Junior High School. Although her real name is unknown, she is quite popular and has been a Burst Linker since he was only eight years old. Her pseudonym is a Japanese word play on Snow White, translated as Shiroyukihime which literally means “White Snow Princess”.

A stunning cosplay by Rina Byakuran! And am I the only one having problems with Picasa lately? First it was the weird colors, now it won’t even let me upload! Anyone know an alternative image uploader that won’t die over too much traffic? Feel free to message me! Thanks again to Regan for sending this in!

Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Celestia Ludenberck

A student who enjoys wearing Gothic Lolita attire, Celes is infamously known as the gambler, “Queen of Liars”. She believes that one must continually adapt in order to survive. Although she is usually calm and collected, she occasionally has uncharacteristic outbursts especially is something (or someone) really annoys her.

I have to say, that hair is really something! How she mananged to get her wig to stay curled that way is quite a feat! Thanks to Pandamon for sending this in!

A student from class 3-3 who is in charge of countermeasures, Akazawa Izumi does her best to devise and uphold mean to deal with the 3-3 calamity. As a result, she resents Misaki Mei for ignoring the rules, undermining the countermeasures and causing the deaths to continue. It is later revealed that Izumi is an acquaintance of the new transfer student, Sakakibara Koichi, back in 1996, the year Izumi’s brother passed away.

Really cute cosplayer! Now sure what is wrong with Picasa, since it adjusted the photo’s contrast on its own. In any case, thanks to Orion for sending this in!

A Little Snow Fairy Sugar: Sugar and Pepper

Source: e-ShuuShuu

When Saga Bergman discovered a little creature in a fluffy outfit, she never would have guessed that what she was actually looking at was an apprentice season fairy! Season fairies alter the weather by playing a magical instrument and Sugar is a snow fairy working on becoming a full fledged fairy. She is later joined by Pepper, another apprentice fairy, who plays the harp to make the wind blow and has the ability to talk to animals.

Aww, they fell asleep! They look like a really adorable pair of cosplayers, I wish we could find out who they are. Thanks again to Darren for sending this in!

Ah! Megami-Sama!: Skuld 02

A Goddess second class, type one, limited license, Skuld is one of Yggdrasil’s system debuggers and the younger sister of Belldandy and Urd. Although her magical powers are currently not that strong, she compensates with her inventions, as she is well-known in Heaven for her engineering genius. She can build and create just about anything out of everything even under most limited resources.

I miss this series quite a bit, especially now that there’s a cute cosplay of Skuld for today’s feature. I wonder if it’s still ongoing? Thanks to Darren for sending this in!

Chobits: Chi 12

In the dark wind of a murky night
When I awake quietly and softly
Please let the world that reflects first
Let the voice that touches my ears
Be him for today, too
Please let everything be born from there on
And let no one live while suffering

I love the town that he is at
I love the rain that he is in
I love the sound that he is with

I hear you everywhere

“I Hear You Everywhere”
Translated by Anime Lyrics

Kiyohari’s so doll-like that it’s almost creepy! Then again, other people would probably disagree with me and say that she’s actually quite cute! In any case, thanks to Coco for sending this in!

Oboreru Knife: Mochizuki Natsume and Hasegawa Kouichiro

Source: E-ShuuShuu!

When Mochizuki Natsume suddenly has to move out to the country side of Japan, she never would have guessed that she would fall in love with the heir of the richest family in the village. As a part-time model, Natsume is quite famous for her beauty and maturity. Kouichiro, on the other hand, can be described as both a prince and a bad boy who gains everyone’s attention due to his social standing.

I’ve read a bunch of reviews for this series, and it looks like it would make an interesting read. I should probably pick it up sometime. Thanks to Jeanne for sending this in!

Vocaloid 3: SeeU

The first Vocaloid capable of singing in both Japanese and Korean, SeeU’s voice was provided by artist Kim Dahi of the K-pop girl band “Glam”. Her voice is light-hearted, but considered to be quite difficult to use compared to her predecessors. She made her first appearance on the 30th of August 2011, but her official release was not until the 21st of October 2011.

Cute cosplay of a brand new Vocaloid! Unfortunately, the character design reminds me too much of Miku. But maybe that’s just me?

By the way, I just got back from Hong Kong, so expect some late posts among other things going wrong in Cosplay Holic for the next few days! I apologize in advance for the trouble! Thank you so much for your patience!

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!
