Kuroshitsuji: Ciel Phantomhive 02

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

kuroshitsuji / black butler cosplay - ciel phantomhive 02

Constantly vigilant to do as his queen orders, Ciel Phantomhive seemingly rose from the deepest despair to find answers and destroy all who have wronged the Phantomhive Family.

Impossible? Not for a 12-year-old boy with a demon butler by his side.

Beautiful Ciel! I dare say a fair competition for Omiya Lotus… who is your favorite?

Bleach: Hirako Shinji

Warning: Spoilers may be written unintentionally about this character. Please read at your own risk.

bleach cosplay - hirako shinji

Former captain of the 5th Division, Hirako Shinji, suspected earlier on that Aizen Sosuke could not be trusted. He made Aizen one of his lieutenants in order to keep an eye on him, but since he did not socialize with Aizen very much, he became of Aizen’s experiments, a Visored.

Pretty convincing Shinji, don’t you think? Although I’ve never seen his zanpakuto (sword) before, so I don’t know how accurate that is. Good job!

The Prince of Tennis: Echizen Ryoma

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

the prince of tennis cosplay - echizen ryoma The arrogant protege of the tennis world, Ryoma is known to provoke his opponents and openly speak his mind despite what other people think. He is the son of a former professional tennis player, Echizen Nanjiro, also known as "Samurai Nanjiro" due to his exceptional tennis skills.

Ryoma thinks of his own father as his rival, as well as his upper-classman, Tezuka. He later gains the title "Samurai Junior" near the end of the series.

It’s amazing how he never lost an official match; even if it is an anime, I don’t recall a character who has never failed like him. He is one of the most liked character in the series though, and this is a very nice cosplay of him.

The World Ends With You: Shiki Misaki

Monday, April 13th, 2009

the world ends with you cosplay - shiki misaki The seemingly happy-go-lucky partner of Neku, Shiki loves to show a positive attitude towards others in order to hide her own feelings of inferiority. She loves fashion and design, and she is very good in sewing… so much that she sews her own clothes!

You might recognize this cosplayer. I featured her some time ago as Sakura from Tsubasa - Reservoir Chronicle. Lil Krn Yuna also makes a convincing Shiki, don’t you think?

I hope everyone had a good Easter. Holy Week got me pretty busy again, but I’ve been receiving a lot of contributors lately. Look forward to more cosplays soon!

Onegai My Melody: Hiiragi Keiichi 03

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Knuxie, our resident Hiiragi Keiichi, has finally cosplayed the character she writes as. I was told that she had sewn Hiiragi’s uniform herself and had to dye the wig to the right color. And yes, that’s a real violin too. I wonder if she knows how to play Hiiragi’s songs?

Very nicely done, Knuxie. I apologize if I wasn’t able to feature you sooner, and thanks for the contribution! Photo was done by Eurobeat King. This is only a thumbnail of the entire photo, by the way, so please view the original here.

Saiunkoku Monogatari: Ko Shuurei

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

saiunkoku monogatari cosplay - ko / hong shuureiThe only daughter of the Ko Noble Family, Shurei saw first hand how war could devastate her homeland when she was still very young. This made her strive to become the first female government official, a feat that seemed impossible being that all government officials in her country are male. This did not stop her from taking the Imperial exams, finishing among the top ranks with To Eigetsu.

Such a beautiful cosplay of Shuurei. It must have taken hours to do her hair. Great work!
