Le Chevalier D'Eon: Lia de Beaumont

Source: LiveDoor

First, let me just say that this is one of the most amazingly detailed dresses I’ve ever seen in the cosplay world.

Second? Her eyes really scare me.

But who am I to criticize her, when I don’t like wearing contact lenses even if I cosplay a character who has a different eye color than me?

Well, joking aside, I hope we find out which series this is from because I’d really love to see if there’s a manga version so that I can get my hands on it. Thanks again to 2chmod for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Crispy Chip for letting me know she is Lia de Beaumont from Le Chevalier D'Eon!

Sword Art Online: Asuna 02

Source: SAO 52pk

Asuna is one of the very few players who used her real name for her alias in Sword Art Online. Although she seemed like a typical player in the beginning, she became a sub-leader of the Knights of Blood Oath, which was acknowledged as the strongest guild in Aincard. Asuna is strong-willed and an accomplished player known as the “Flash” for her extraordinary sword skill.

This cosplayer is really pretty, just like how Asuna is described in SAO. She looks almost like a porcelain doll in this photo. Thanks to Miho for sending this in!

Touhou Project: Izayoi Sakuya 06

Kimi no kokoro ni furete shimau hodo  koe mo   maboroshi sae mo
I can’t hear the voices or even illusions
Kikoena... Sonna ki ga shite shimau
That may touch your heart... That’s how I feel

Awai sugata ga yokogiru shunkan   yume no katasumi dake ga
The moment when a faint figure goes across them, only the corners of dreams
Oto mo naku tsuzurarete yuku mitai
Seem to be composed soundlessly

“The Things There”

Another cute Sakuya cosplay! And I have officially run out of facts to write about her! I hope you guys don’t mind that I use the Touhou Anime opening song’s lyrics instead. Thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Fauxm for letting me know the cosplayer is Lenfried!

Final Fantasy VII: Aerith Gainsborough 02

Source: Pro-Cosplay

When Zack Fair and Aerith Gainsborough went on their first date together, he bought her a pink hair ribbon and suggested to Aerith that she should wear pink more often. By Final Fantasy VII, she had completely changed her wardrobe from her blue and white dress, to her iconic pink and red outfit while still wearing Zack’s ribbon.

I guess the story does show off Aerith’s stubborness. Once she’s made up her mind about something, she’s not going to listen to anyone who tells her otherwise. In any case, another cute cosplay by Arisa Mizuhara! Thanks again to Anthony for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 41

Source: Oppenneer

「時に歓天喜地の夜も又は老少不定、異域之鬼の代も」
At times eternal bliss at a night with no regret,
Or either dying young, and even dying far from home
「成程話題には欠かないようね、ゴシュウショウサマ」
You indeed seem never to run out of your stories.
I'm sorry for you, sir
｢振り返る先に猫は無く　街の風に揺れる雨傘カラカラ｣
Looking back the cat was nowhere to be found
Just a lonely rainshade rattling in the silent breeze
「なんだか不可思議な噺ね、――嗚呼」
Well I must say, what an inconceivable tale,
－Oh
娘は哂う「今宵は雨かしら」
The girl smiles and says, I wonder if it rains tonight

“The Old Story of Reincarnation and a Cat”
Lyrics and Translation by Vocalochu

We have now reached the 40+ mark for Hatsune Miku! I can’t believe how insanely popular a voice synthesizer could be, and there’s no sign of her fame going down anytime soon even with new Vocaloids coming out!

I guess you just can’t beat the original. Thanks to Samuel for sending this in!

Psycho-Pass: Makishima Shogo

Source: Willie on World Cosplay

An old enemy of Kogami Shinya’s, Makishima Shogo is a humanist on the dark side and the target of Shinya’s revenge. He is hopelessly in love with cruelty, savagery, and all the worst aspects of human nature. As a born evangelist, he possesses uncommon charisma and a true gift for narrative. Shogo is suspected to be the mastermind behind many cases the Public Safety Bureau are continually investigating.

A highly convincing Shogo by Chinese cosplayer Willie! It’s almost creepy how well he’s captured the character in a single photo. Please be sure to check out his World Cosplay account for more of his amazing work! Thanks to Vanessa for sending this in!

Lucky Star: Hiiragi Tsukasa 02

Source: Ang Ganda mo Anime Ka ba? on Facebook

Hiiragi Tsukasa is often mistaken for cosplaying Kamigishi Akari from the To Heart series because of her hairstyle. Konata even gave her the official uniform of the anime for her birthday, but their autumn uniform is actually close enough that she was stopped at Akihabara by two fans in order to take her picture. It is interesting to note that Tsukasa’s hair ribbon changes position depending on her mood.

She’s so adorable! Very much like the Tsukasa we know and love! Thanks to Cyrene for sending this in!

Naruto: Shippuden: Hyuga Hinata 02

Source: Ani-Mia on Facebook

After Obito attempted to shatter Naruto’s slef-confidence, Hinata reaffirmed his ninja way by telling him that his life was connected to everyone who shared in his beliefs. She also reminded him that those like Neji, who sacrificed themselves for Naruto, would have died in vain if he stopped believing in himself. Hinata successfully reached Naruto’s heart and managed to bring him back to his old self which gave him the strength to face his opponent once again.

Another amazing cosplay by Ani-Mia! I love the contact she used for this cosplay! But wouldn’t it be hard to see? Thanks again for sending this in!

Unknown Cosplay #142

Another day, another unknown cosplay.

I don’t know about you guys, but this guessing game brings back a lot of great memories. And I’m hoping you’re having fun with it too.

Now then, kawaii girl with the orange and while kimono styled costume, I wonder who might you be? And I also wonder why your cosplay really reminds me of Yuna from Final Fantasy X? Possibly the cut-off sleeves and hairstyle? Maybe?

I’ll leave the mystery with you guys, and here’s the full body shot in case that helps unravel the mystery. Thanks again to Marcello for letting me feature this!

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior: Chun Li 04

Source: Crunchyroll

Chun Li is the original fast character in Street Fighter. She utilizes multiple, rapid attacks to make up for her lower damage strikes. Her agility and swift movements make her a favorite among players, and many other female characters that followed played in a similar speedy style. Chun Li’s signature attack is the Hakuretsukyaku or Hundred Rending Kick commonly known as the Lightning Kick.

A beautiful rendition of Chun Li by Japanese cosplayer, Arisa Mizuhara! I must admit, she is also my first choice when playing Street Fighter, and the Lightning Kick is one of my favorite moves. Thanks to Cassandra for sending this in!

Fate/Stay Night: Saber 13

Source: Marcello Masiero on Flickr

At the beginning of the series, Saber did not appreciate Emiya Shirou’s treatment of her as a woman due to her status as a knight and Servant. Her pride as a former king made her appear to be somewhat cold and distant, as she was unwilling to show her emotions. However, as the series progressed, Saber’s insecurities became more apparent, and she later began to open up to Shirou little by little.

She’s so cute! Although Saber doesn’t want to admit it, I think she’s actually a little shy whenever someone compliments her about… practically anything. Thanks again to Marcello for sharing this!
