Macross Frontier: Sheryl Nome

The pop idol from Macross Galaxy, Macross Frontier's sister fleet, Sheryl Nome is a very proud and self-assured person with the beauty and talent to back it up. She is later revealed to be a failed experiment known as Fairy 9 and was nothing more than an anonymous, orphan girl from the Galaxy Slums. Having outlived her usefulness, Grace O'Connor discards her, not really counting on the fact that she might survive.

Beautiful cosplay! I like the strawberry highlights on her hair, and her gorgeous shoes. Really great work!

Fate/Stay Night: Saber 03

During the 4th Holy Grail war, Emiya Kiritsugu forced Saber into destroying the Holy Grail by using a Reiju, also known as a Command Seal. Saber would not obey him because she wanted the chance to redo her life so that worthier person could rule her country in her stead.

It was only when Shiro, Kiritsugu's foster son, became her master that she was able to accept her life for what it was rather than wishing to change it.

I think the hair may have been photoshoped a bit from the looks of it, but I still think this is a rather beautiful cosplay of Saber. Not everyone can manage to pull her off, after all. Thank you so much for emailing this, Shiro-kun!

Soul Eater: Franken Stein

Considered to be the most powerful meister to graduate from the Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA), Stein views the world as his own place to experiment, which makes him fight his own insane urges to dissect everything. He's even experimented on himself, placing a giant bolt though his own head, which he occassionally turns while thinking.

You can't get any more insane than this guy, I think. Beautiful cosplay with a beautiful location too! Thanks to Potato Chips for sharing this!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart 03

Script writer Nojima Kazuhige describes Tifa to be "very much like any woman who's been left behind like a man", meaning someone who was hurt emotionally, but not clingy. She urges Cloud to come to terms with the unwarranted guilt he places upon himself, and takes care of Barret's adopted daughter, Marlene, as well as another child known as Denzel.

I think she may be the same Tifa as the cosplayer I featured more than 2 years ago, but I still find her pretty impressive. She still makes me think that she jumped right out of the film. Great cosplay!

Bleach: Neliel Tu Oderschvank 05

Just when I thought I knew the real deal, Wiki changes on me, yet again.

So, she's really "Neliel Tu Oderschvank" and not "Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck", right? Or maybe I should stick to ネリエル トゥ オーデルシュヴァンク to avoid confusion this time.

Anyway, ネル トゥ has the ability to swallow cero attacks and, in her adult form, fire them back with her own cero. Her released form, which is achieved by manifesting with her zanpakuto Gamuza, is that of an ibex-like centaur with long, curved horns, a thick tail, and an armor covering her shoulders and hands. Her zanpakuto also changes into a white, double-ended lance, making her appear as a medieval knight or jouster.

Pretty daring cosplay, and she certainly has the look for it. Thanks to Shiro-kun for sending this in! Too bad there's only a small version of this photo.

Silent Hill: Homecoming: Siam

One of the harder, non-boss monsters to kill in Silent Hill: Homecoming, Siams appear to be two humanoid figures fused together and tied with a series of bondage gear and straps. The male side attacks while the female side is significantly weaker. Siam first appeared in the Police Station and, for some reason or other, always appear when Elle Holloway is in trouble or missing.

Wow, this must have been hard to cosplay as. The guy must be pretty strong to have carried the girl on his back. I wonder how they got in costume... and how did they get out of it? Great work though! Thanks for sharing!

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles: Jill Valentine

One of the original protagonists of the series, Jill Valentine returned in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles as a member of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). She then works with Chris Redfield to expose and destroy the Umbrella Corporation where they are forced to defeat Umbrella's newest BOW, T-ALOS.

I wasn't too sure if I could post this in my other blog, given the guidelines there, but I had to show this awesome cosplay! I guess RE fans would tell me that Jill doesn't really have bangs (well, she does, but only a few loose strands) and that she lacks that white sweater tied around her waist, but really, isn't this a great cosplay of her? Good job!

BioShock: Big Daddy and Little Sister

Graphic Artist, Harrison Krix and his fiancée, Emily had a private photoshoot in the Georgia Aquarium showcasing Harrison’s latest work, Big Daddy from the BioShock game.

This is a real costume with real LED lights, and Harrison is currently selling it on eBay, open for bidding until December 3, 2009.

You could probably win a cosplay competition with this, if he hasn’t already. You can view the rest of the photoshoot in his blog. Great work!

Fate/Unlimited Codes: Saber Lily

Little is known about Saber Lily, aside from the fact that she is officially another version of Saber. Fans speculate that she is quite possibly the direct opposite of Dark Saber from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, but there is no real history behind her appearance.

None that we know of as of yet anyway.

Beautiful cosplay! Looks like it was done in a private photo shoot, since Saber Lily’s costume looks really hard to move around in. Thank you very much to Still Doll for sharing this!

Unknown Entry 039

I was cleaning up my hard drives when I came across this picture. I remember finding this image a few years back but never featured it because I didn’t know who she was.

Good thing I didn’t delete it… and good thing too that I got to continue the unknown cosplays section. Hopefully, someone can tell me who she is and who she is cosplaying as? Please? Wild guesses are welcomed! But please remember to leave your name in your comments!

EDIT: Thanks to Vk for letting us know this is Taiwanese actress, Megan Lai!

Guilty Gear X: Dizzy

The daughter of the original Commander Gear, Justice, Dizzy was found by an old couple who had no children of their own. People began to fear her when her body aged from that of an infant into a teenager’s in only 3 years time. It was later identified that Dizzy, who had grown wings and a tail, was a Gear; an ultimate weapon of mass destruction. Her foster parents did their best to protect her, but she was later found and abused, beginning her life as a hunted bounty.

I didn’t think I’d be able to find a nice cosplay of Dizzy. Her outfit is pretty revealing, so it’s quite hard to cosplay her. Thank you for sending this in, Chips! And yes, please feel free to email me any photos you’d like to share!
