A mysterious noble man who suddenly appears in the Moon Colony, Luna, Le Comte de Monte Cristo or “The Count of Monte Cristo” is actually Edmond Dantès, a plain sailor who was imprisoned in Château d’If on false charges. It’s on Château d’If that he meets Gankutsuou, a cold-blooded demon who promises him revenge in exchange for possessing his body. It is because of the demon that his body became crystalline, revealing his bones and internal organs.

Another fantastic shot by Tony Quan, the same photographer behind the Bleach cosplay, Ayasegawa Yumichika, during Anime Expo 2007. I really like this anime for its original style in animation. And of course, “The Count of Monte Cristo” is an excellent novel in itself. Thanks for sharing!

Once the noble spirit of Arturia Pendragon, Saber’s soul was later corrupted in Fate/Stay Night’s installment, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Dark Saber is actually more powerful, but she is slightly less agile.

Sadly, the only way her soul could be cleansed is for her Master to kill her… but you all knew that already, right?

Beautiful cosplay! She makes an excellent rival for Calssara. Which do you like best?

Little is known about Kuran Kaname’s unofficial bodyguard, Seiren. She is quiet, reserved, and obey Kaname’s orders absolutely. She is also the first to defend Kaname against any threat, barely restraining herself from killing Zero when he threatened Kaname with the Bloody Rose.

Beautiful cosplay! Loon captured Seiren’s expression perfectly. This was taken in Cosmania Philippines some time ago. Thanks also to Erving Go for the awesome photography! Great job!

These girls are probably among the cutest cosplayers I’ve ever seen.

Featuring the student Kinomoto Sakura and the Card Captor Sakura! I love the little wings on Card Captor Sakura’s back, and their hats too! I’m not sure, but they could be sisters, or even twins. I wish there was a larger version of this picture so we can see their faces better, but this was the best that I could come up with.

How do you think they fair with the other Sakura cosplayer?

By the way, I’ve opened up   a Blogger account that has the same content as my Sanriotown one. Why you ask? It’s because I’ve been seeing a lot of blogspot blogs that have been taking my content without crediting me. I’ve ranted about this before, and even though most of the pictures are not mine, I’d still prefer to be credited when they’ve obviously taken my pictures and content.

My thanks to everyone supporting my blog(s)! Oh, and please answer the poll I have in コスプレイ. Thank you~!

A child born from rape, Ayane was labelled a “poison child” in her ninja clan. She was made to believe that she was an orphan, abandoned by her own mother because of the circumstances of her birth.

One village festival, Ayame, the wife of the leader of her clan, revealed to her that she was Ayane’s mother. This made her envious of the clan princess, Kasumi for being treated like a princess while she, her half sister, was being treated like dirt.

A sad fate for such a young girl. This is a cosplay by Shizuka aka Rainer Tachibana of Deviant Art! She commented in my blog one day which lead me to find her beautiful gallery of cosplays. Thanks for that! Thank you also to Ahbu for the great photography!

A narcissist by nature, Ayasegawa Yumichika is a shinigami from the 11th division occupying the 5th seat. In truth, he is actually capable and powerful enough to occupy the 4th seat, but he thinks the kanji of the number 4, “四” looks ugly.

He entered the 11th division to serve Zaraki Kenpachi, along with his best friend Madarame Ikkaku. Yumichika and Ikkaku have been friends for a very long time, and so he didn’t mind it so much that Ikkaku took the 3rd seat, his true preference because the kanji for 3, “三” is the most beautiful to him. In fact, he judges everything by their appearance and chooses to forget all things ugly and does his best to fight against ugly hollows with his eyes closed.

Great detailing for this character! Photographer Tony Quan took this in Anime Expo 2007. He has a large collection of cosplay photos, and I will do my best to feature a lot of them! Thanks for sharing!

You know, technically speaking, I know that I know from what series she’s from. I’ve seen hundreds of cosplayers dress up as her and her partner in the series.

Yet, there are simply days when the name escapes me. And how can I search for information about something I can’t remember?

Why, I put it in the Unknown Category, of course, and let my readers help me out.

So, help please?

Thanks to Syaoyue for letting me know this is Utena from Shoujo Kakumei Utena!
