Neon Genesis Evangelion: Ayanami Rei 06

neon genesis evangelion cosplay - ayanami rei 06 from comiket 2010Although Rei is said to be an emotionless character, the latest film known as Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance reveals a more mature Rei with a developed personality. She once attempted to host a dinner party for her fellow pilots and she worked very hard in preparing the food. Her relationship with Ikari Shinji is also shown much more openly than the original series.

So daring! Wasn’t it already cold in Japan during Comiket 2010? And I see possible Takasugi Shinsuke in the background! Thanks again to Jamie for sending this!

Final Fantasy X-2: Yuna 07

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - yuna 07 from comiket 2010Yuna's Songstress dressphere that she wore during the concert in Spira is actually made up of Lenne’s memories. This resulted in a sphere screen projecting the both of them singing to everyone in attendance. It was also due to these memories that Shuyin had mistaken Yuna for Lenne and that Yuna thought she had feelings for Shuyin.

She’s so cute! And I love this dress on Yuna, more than her original X-2 attire. Thanks again to Hannah for the photo!

McDonald’s: Rona McDonald

A clown character used as a primary mascot of the McDonald’s fast-food restaurant chain, Ronald McDonald has been given a gender swap and affectionately named “Rona McDonald”. A pair of Japanese McDonald’s advertisements for the Tomato McGrand feature “sexy” male and female dressed in modern clothing with Ronald’s color scheme.

I guess you could say this is a much cuter version than what the official Japan’s McDonald’s came up with. Thanks again to Femi for sending this!

HeartCatch PreCure!: Cure Blossom and Cure Marine

heartcatch precure! cosplay - cure blossom and cure marine from comiket 2010

Cure Blossom’s flower symbol is the Cherry Blossom just as Cure Marine’s flower symbol is the Cyclamen. They were best friends even before they became Pretty Cures. Tsubomi was hesitant in becoming a Pretty Cure, unlike Erika who agreed almost immediately in order to help Tsubomi.

So cute! And such a popular cosplay in Comiket this year! Thanks again to Dellia for sending this!

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin and Len 02

vocaloid 2 cosplay - karamine rin and len 02 from comiket 2010Since they were based on the same voice provider or seiyuu, Kagamine Rin and Len successfully harmonize with one another and are often used in duets. They have a similar range and depth to their predecessor, Hatsune Miku. However, most users consider Len to be more difficult to work with than his counterpart, Rin.

So cute! They look like they’re wearing their own interpreted version of Miku’s classic outfit! Thanks to again to Reese for sending this!

Macross Frontier: Ranka Lee 03

macross frontier cosplay - ranka lee 03 from comiket 2010

A lively, cheerful and naive teenage girl, Ranka Lee is referred to as the “Little Queen” by Grace O’Connor due to her connection to Vajra. Her songs tend to confuse the Vajra and Ranka feels severe pain whenever large amounts of Vajra are killed within her vicinity. She and her bodyguard, Brera Sterne, left Macross Frontier for a time in order to deliver her Vajra pet “Ai-kun: to the rest of its species.

Looks like Ranka’s not a teenager anymore in this cosplay. Thanks again, Jamie!

Zero no Tsukaima: Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière

unknown cosplay 70 from comiket 2010 - zero no tsukaima / the familiar of zero cosplay - louise françoise le blanc de la vallièreDare I say she is from the Harry Potter series? She looks distinctly like a pink haired Hermione Granger, but I do not see a Hogwarts’ badge or scarf anywhere. And besides, when did Hermione ever change her hair color?

Feel free to post your thoughts in the comments below! Thanks again to Hannah!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for commenting this is Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière from Zero no Tsukaima (The Familiar of Zero)!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Houjou Satoko

unknown cosplay 69 from comiket 2010 - higurashi no naku koro ni - houjou satokoThis girl I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere before. Maybe not the cosplayer, but definitely the character, but I can’t seem to think of which series she belongs to at the moment.

Guess I’ll have to rely on my Cosplay Holic readers to give me the answer this time. Anyone care to point me in the right direction? Thanks to Gilbert for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for commenting this is Houjou Satoko from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni!

Touhou Project: Remilia Scarlet

touhou project cosplay - remilia scarlet from comiket 2010Owner and head of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia is well known as the “Scarlet Devil” all throughout Gensokyo. She is the mistress of Izayoi Sakuya and Hong Meiling and the older sister and guardian of Flandre Scarlet. Like all vampires, she is photosensitive and therefore prefers to only to emerge at night.

So cute! And so fierce too! Really love the attitude she’s projecting in this photo. Thanks again to Wendy for sending this in!

Ikkitousen: Ryomou Shimei

ikkitousen cosplay - ryomou shimei from comiket 2010One of the Four Devas of Nanyo, Ryomou is best friends with Teifu Tokubou and Saji Genpou even before the beginning of the series. Although she acts as if she is uninterested in relationships, she is in love with Saji and cares deeply for Teifu. Her dragon presumably causes her to have a split personality; one that is shy and normal and the other, psychosexual.

Beautiful cosplay! I thought she was Rei Ayanami at first actually, and Viki thought so as well… but a closer look into Ikkitousen’s characters reveals Ryomou has actually wore this outfit. At least I saw a figure of her dressed like this.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun: Shirai Kuroko

to aru kagaku no railgin / to aru majutsu no index cosplay - shirai kuroko from comiket 2010Shirai Kuroko is a level 4 psychic who is a member of Judgment, a special public committee group whose duty is to maintain peace and order in Academy City. She has a crush on Misaka Mikoto and often gets jealous towards other people who get Mikoto’s attention especially Kamijo Toma. Her powers are instant teleportation, which allows her to teleport herself and anything in her possession as long as it weighs under 130-137 kilograms to anywhere within a radius of 81-85 meters.

Cute cosplay! Though I’ve never heard of the series, I’m glad the contributor, Umbridge knew! Thanks again for the information and photo!

Angel Beats!: Yui

angel beats! cosplay - yui from comiket 2010Initially an assistant to the band “Girls Dead Monster”, Yui is hyperactive and talks extremely fast. Hinata finds this very annoying and often argues with Yui, but they truly care about one another, convinced that if they had met before they died, they would have fallen in love with each other. She wears shackle bracelets, a devil tail, and wings that make her look like an imp or devil.

So cute! I really like the series’ design for their uniforms. I wonder what her shackles are made of? Thanks again to Sammie for sending this in!
