Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

vocaloid 2 cosplay - hatsune miku

Double post day perhaps? You know I have something really good when I double post… More to my amusement really.

To the fans of my previous cosplay article, including: The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi, Gundam Seed Destiny: Meer Campbell 03, Inuyasha: Kikyo and Inuyasha, Inyusaha: Inuyasha… I give you, the name behind the cosplays… Arisa Mizuhara!

I was only able to find her after reading up an article on Vocaloid 2, which is apparently a “singing” synthesizer. But anyway, the character they made, Hatsune Miku, is rather cute and I thought I’d look up to see if anyone cosplayed her yet.

That’s how I found Arisa… Thank you, Google!

Please visit Arisa’s site, which has a lot more impressive cosplays!

Fatal Fury / The King of Fighters: Shiranui Mai

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

I know Shiranui Mai is supposed to be the sexiest female fighting character ever to be created during the 16-bit era… But frankly, I’m thankful to have found a cosplay of her that doesn’t make her look… well… slutty.

fatal fury / the king of fighters cosplay - shiranui mai

Shiranui Mai, Ninjutsu and Koppo-Ken master, who, in her mind, thinks Andy Bogard is her fiance… Though Andy chooses to suppress his feelings for her and would most often treat her as his younger sister.

Frankly, who can resist a girl like Mai?

Pretty cosplay, isn’t this? Most people would probably argue that the cosplayer’s footwear is wrong and that Mai doesn’t wear dark stockings with this signature outfit… But hey… Isn’t she to die for?

Photo originally from Dyson’s Fear in his article “On Cosplay“, which unfortunately has more hate on Western cosplay. My comments on this sensitive topic lie here.

OS-Tan: Windows ME

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

os-tan cosplay - windows meA lot of people seem to be interested in OS-Tans since I brought the topic up… So I thought a new OS-Tan Cosplay picture might be best to start my flood on cosplays yet again.

Now here we have ME-Tan. As I mentioned before in the first review of 2k-Tan, ME is quite an unstable Operating System, so 2k-Tan or XP-Tan is usually by her side. That’s why she has a signature “!” on her bow… Error warnings are always and forever there.

But isn’t she a cute ME-Tan? I don’t think a lot of people would mind having an OS like her since she’s so cute! Good job on this one! I love the green hair, since I like this shade more than the original yellow-green color…

0perat1ve! os-tan fansiteOh, before I forget, this picture is from   0PERAT1VE!, an OS-Tan Fansite, though I adjusted this image in terms of size, contrast, and brightness. Please go have a visit in their site when you have the time for more information and pictures on OS-Tans!

Di Gi Charat: Dejiko

Friday, October 19th, 2007

di gi charat cosplay - dejiko Di Gi Charat, or Dejiko for short, is a cat girl and princess of Planet Di Gi Charat. She is 10-years-old, and she came to earth with the hopes of becoming an idol singer.

…ok, this cosplayer is obviously not 10-years-old. Add to the fact that Dejiko has green eyes and green hair… Why am I posting this cosplayer when there are a lot of inconsistencies to the anime character she’s portraying?

Well…

Because of the obvious fact that she’s cute. ^_^ No more… No less…

Mahoromatic: Ando Mahoro

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

mahoromatic cosplay - ando mahoroGet this… A really cute android wants to be your maid and be at your service. She cooks for you, cleans for you, but she hates one thing… Ecchi!

“Ecchi na no wa ikenai to omoimasu” - “I think that dirty thoughts are bad.”

Ando Mahoro, a former combat android, who is immensely powerful and fast, as created by VESPER to fight off the aliens who plan to invade earth. Being given only 398 days to live, she decided to become a maid for her late superior commander’s son, Misato Suguru, presumably due to the guilt she felt for having to kill her commander when an alien took him hostage.

Adorable isn’t she? Though the anime depicts her with black hair and this cosplayer has light brown hair, I don’t think anyone would turn down the flyers she’s passing around.

Final Fantasy VII: Tifa Lockhart 02

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

final fantasy 7 cosplay - tifa lockhartI think I may have found a nice rival for the Philippine Tifa Lockhart.

I mean… really… she’s… “wow”.

Anyway… Tifa Lockhart is Cloud’s childhood friend. She is one of the head of the group called AVALANCHE, who’s main objective is to destroy Shinra.

Based on technicality, this cosplayer does not have the low, pony-tailed hair with the dolphin-like end… But really… Can you complain about such a tiny detail?

Gundam Seed Destiny: Meer Campbell 03

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

gundam seed destiny cosplay - meer campbell 03More people seem to like cosplaying the fake than the real Lacus Clyne. I wonder why that is?

I’m not really complaining… Maybe just a little bit. I like Lacus better than Meer. But I did feel sorry for her in the end. Having to live someone else’s life… no matter how glamorous it is, is torture. You may enjoy it for a while, but you’ll be destroyed once you’ve been found out.

But anyway, this is a beautiful cosplay! She definitely a rival for the two other Meers I’ve featured before. Great Job!
