Loveless: Hawatari Yuiko

loveless cosplay - hawatari yuikoOne of Ritsuka’s classmates in his new school, Yuiko appeared to be a ditzy girl who had befriended Ritsuka at the prodding of their mean-spirited classmates. Ritsuka first thought of her to be annoying and weird, but they became good friends as the series progressed. Yuiko has been fascinated by Ritsuka since the first day they met, but Ritsuka sees their relationship to be purely platonic.

She so cute! Just like the real Yuiko. Now I want pink cat ears and a pink wig too! Thanks to Madeline for sending this in!

Final Fantasy VII: Vincent Valentine 03

final fantasy vii cosplay - vincent valentine 3

Cloud Strife first met Vincent Valentine sleeping in a locked room at the basement of Shinra Manor. After some careful coaxing, Cloud was able to speak to Vincent and told him about Sephiroth. Vincent knew he was the child Lucrecia had conceived and considered it to be another “sin”. Vincent then asked if Cloud and his party will meet Hojo, and Cloud confirmed his inquiry. He then decided to accompany the party with thoughts of claiming revenge.

Way too awesome for words! Then again, I’m beginning to wonder if this is real or CG (computer-generated)? What do you guys think? Thanks to Remi for sending this!

Persona: Trinity Soul: Morimoto Kanaru, Kanzato Shin, Kayano Megumi, and Kanzato Jun

persona: trinity soul cosplay - morimoto kanaru, kanzato shin, kayano megumi, and kanzato junIn Ayanagi, a city located near the Sea of Japan, the police force is investigating several cases of a mysterious illness known as the Apathy Syndrome. The incidents were said to be linked to covert testing conducted under Komatsubura Keisuke. These examinations tried to locate all known Persona users and find the strongest by weeding them out via Persona experiments before it was disbanded.

Amidst the crisis, Superintendent Kanzato Ryo’s two younger brothers, Shin and Jun, have moved back with him. The three of them have not seen each other in 10 years due to certain circumstances beyond their control.

Sounds like a complicated, yet very interesting anime! And this cosplay represents each of the characters very well! To enumerate, Kanaru is cosplayed by Tsubaki-chan, Shin by Memphis, Megumi by Helen, and Jun by Gakkun! Thanks to Melanie for sending this in!

Kuroshitsuji: Madam Red 02

She admired and loved her sister, Rachel Durless, who later married Vincent Phantomhive, whom they were both in love with. She was generally lighthearted about her sister’s marriage to Vincent, stating that if the two people she loved most were happy, then she was happy as well.

Lovely cosplay by Angie Choong! She looks so cute, like a much younger version of Madam Red! Thanks to Anastasia for sending this in!

Unknown Entry 111

unknown cosplay 111 from summer comiket 2011Oh, no. A teacher dressed as a French Maid? I think the mere thought of the two merging together is scaring me. I mean, I’m sure she’s a nice girl, but the way she’s holding that pointer makes me think all the students must pay attention in class, or else!

Oh, and if anyone can read the Japanese text on the photo, please feel free to let me know what it says! Thanks to Nina for sending this!

mpd psycho cosplay - kobayashi yosuke by symphony of lost aria

When Detective Kobayashi Yosuke was assigned to the case of a serial killer who dismembered his victims, he never thought his own girlfriend would later become one of the victims. She was said to have been mutilated but kept alive; the trauma of which began to make Yosuke lose his sanity. As a result, he developed a dissociative identity disorder, with two main personalities being a cool headed detective known as Amamiya Kazuhiko, and a reckless psychopath named Nishizono Shinji.

Another impressive collection by Symphony of the Lost Aria group! The cosplayer fooled me for a minute or two, because I thought there were 6 different people! Thanks again to the group for allowing me to post this!

ouran high school club cosplay - suoh tamaki 3Named René Tamaki Richard de Grantaine, Suoh Tamaki is a second-year student at Ouran Academy and the founder and president of the Host Club. He lived in France with his mother until he was 14-years-old, thereafter he went to live with his father and grandmother in Japan. Tamaki and his father are separated from his French mother because of a deal made between Tamaki’s ill mother and his cold-hearted paternal grandmother. Although he was treated coldly at first, Tamaki was able to win his grandmother’s approval with his mind and kindness and the two eventually grew close.

Impressive! I don’t know if the cosplayer’s really French, but they definitely look the part! Thanks to Haidee for sending this in!

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Ayanami Rei 11

neon genesis evangelion cosplay - ayanami rei 11Anno Hideki instructed Sadamoto Yoshiyuki when he was designing Ayanami Rei that "Whatever else, she needs to be painted in as a bitterly unhappy young girl with little sense of presence."

Needless to say, Sadamoto-sensei was able to achieve that effect flawlessly!

In the beginning of the series, Rei is socially withdrawn, appearing to be an emotionless girl who rarely interacted with anyone except for Ikari Gendo. She is known to be living by herself in a dull, sparsely-furnished apartment in Tokyo-3.

Such a convincingly beautiful cosplay! Even the setting is perfect! I wonder if they’re in a lab of some sort? Thanks to Pia for sending this in!

Twilight: Edward Cullen

twilight cosplay - edward cullenDescribed as one of the most charming characters in the series, Edward Cullen is very protective of his beloved Bella Swan and puts her safety, humanity, and welfare before anything else. He has a tendency to over-analyze situations and overreact, especially when it comes to Bella’s safety. He speaks in early 20th century dialect and, after falling in love with Bella, wishes he was human instead of a vampire “monster”.

I suppose this had to be featured eventually, as Lilica, Jamie, Paty, and Sarah have sent this photo to me in 4 different emails. Whoever said Cosplay Holic was limited to Japanese Animation, Manga, and Games? Thanks again for sending this in guys!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 21

vocaloid 2 cosplay - hatsune miku 21 from summer comiket 2011

I guess this cosplay shows how hot it really got in Summer Comiket 2011! Is there a music video of Miku playing with water guns, or is this an original?

Either way though, her bikini is really cute! And so if the cosplayer of course! I bet some of the people in Comiket welcomed getting squirted at in that heat! Thanks again to Alfred for sending this in!
