Tsubasa - Reservoir Chronicle: Fay D. Flourite

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

I am so annoyed that I can’t see the cosplayer’s face here. But for Fay to now show his face is actually very characteristic.

tsubasa - reservoir chronicle cosplay - fay d. flourite

Fay is one of Syaoran’s allies. He is happy-go-lucky and carefree, but is very mysterious, in the sense that he seems to have little regard for his own life. He can be very perceptive and is considered to be as skillful as Kurogane. He also often hides his own unhappiness with a fake smile.

I’ve been wondering if I should post this or not when I found it on Flickr. Mainly because I seldom feature cosplayers who don’t show their face, give or take a few. I still find this pretty, though!


Final Fantasy X-2: Rikku 05

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - rikku 05

I have a feeling this Rikku maybe the same as this one. Although I’m not all that certain… The costume has a lot of similarities though.

I found this from Baka Yumii’s Flickr… And since I’ve spoken about Rikku in five separate occasions already, I wouldn’t want to bore you all. But do you think this cosplayer could be the same as the first one I posted?

Last Exile: Dio Eraclea

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

last exile cosplay - dio eraclea

Playful, fearless, and somewhat childish, Dio Eraclea is the younger brother of the most powerful Guild Member, Maestro Delphine Eraclea. His unique Claus Valca’s skills gives him the nickname “Immelmann”, which refers to the the World War I German Ace, Max Immelmann.

i’ve never even heard of this anime at all, but this is an awesome cosplay shot. Thanks to Olga Dietrich for the photo!


Dogs: Luki and Noki

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

dogs cosplay - luki and nokiA cute cosplay from the series, Dogs’ Luki and Noki. They are twin assassins, around the age of 10, who have collars around their neck to heal their injuries almost instantly. Each of them have an arm missing, thanks to a “test”done by Professor Eintellson.

They are quite childish in the methods of killing, thinking that it’s like “playing tag” with their victims until they finally catch them.

Very cute cosplay. This was taken from Southern California’s Cosplay Gathering in Irvine California. Thanks to Project Cosplay for sharing the photo! You may view the Flickr Account here.

Chobits: Chi 03

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

chobits cosplay - chi / chii 03My third (or fourth?) Chi cosplayer, and this time, it’s Kipi!

Chi’s real name is actually “Elda” and she is among the Chobit series; a special type of persocom who can “fee” and “fall in love”. Her twin sister, Freya, fell in love with their creator (and father), resulting in her “death” (her heart became so painful that she could no longer move). Elda “took” Freya’s consciousness resulting in her having 2 different persocom personalities existing within her. Even though she had all her memories deleted, both personalities still remained; Freya who remembers everything and Elda who remembers nothing.

Kipi makes a cute Chi… And that cake looks really good. I want some cake too..! Thanks to Welfsh for sharing this on Flickr!


Digimon: Angewomon

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

digimon cosplay - angewomonGatomon’s natural Ultimate Form, Angewomon is known as the female counterpart of Angemon although� she is of higher ranks due to her eight wings. She is and angel who resembles a Valkyrie thanks to her winged helmet.

This image was actually cropped from the original because I wanted to emphasize on the cosplayer. A fuller version of this picture can be found in Ikataplof’s Flickr account.

Awesome cosplay! Though I can’t help but wonder what the cosplayer really looks like?

EDIT: Mia left me a message telling me who this cosplayer is. Her name is Uchiha Yurai, and she cosplays a lot! You can view more of her photos in her Deviant Art Account. Thanks, Mia!

Gyakuten Saiban 2: Karuma Mei

Friday, July 11th, 2008

gyakuten saiban 2 cosplay / phoenix wright: ace attorney 2 justice for all cosplay - karuma mei / franziska von karma Last year, on June 16th, there was a “Toys, Hobbies, and Collectibles Convention” in SM Megamall’s Megatrade Hall. An event I missed thanks to work, but I had no idea I missed such a great looking cosplay..!

Addy is cosplaying Karuma Mei, more commonly known as Franziska Von Karma from the game “Gyakuten Saiban 2″ (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 2 - Justice For All). Mei is the undefeated Prosecutor from Germany who came to Japan in order to defeat Naruhodo Ryuichi and avenge her adoptive brother, Mitsurugi Reiji. Of interesting note, is that in the Japanese version, Mei went to America to study law, not Germany.

Did I mention she became a prosecutor when she was only 13?

Lovely cosplay; and this was originally found in Raincontreras’s Flickr account. I wonder what Mei is saying here though? Probably something like “Foolish fools who foolishly dreams a foolish fool’s dream”?

Bleach: Ulquiorra Schiffer

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

bleach cosplay - ulquiorra schiffer The quiet, over-analytical arrancar who ranks 4th in the Espada, Ulquiorra is melancholic and seems to be uninterested in unnecessary battles, keeping his hands in his pockets for most of the battle. Like all arrancar, he possesses a “hollow hole”, the place where his spirit chain once was, on his chest. He has a habit of finishing off his opponents by stabbing them in the same area as his hollow hole.

A very impressive cosplay of Ulquiorra that I found on Flickr. It may look like he’s crying but those are just marks on his face. Not too sure what they’re suppose to mean though.


Pokemon: Misty aka Kasumi

Friday, February 1st, 2008

pokemon cosplay - misty aka kasumi Speaking of Pokemon, here’s a girl from the series you cannot easily forget.

The self-proclaimed “world-class Water-type Pokemon trainer, Misty (also known as “Kasumi” in the Japanese versions) comes off during the beginning of the series as a spoiled little girl who only journeyed with Ash because she wanted him to pay for her bike. Eventually, as the series develops, a warmer, kinder side of Misty emerges, as she takes on the role of Togepi’s mother until his evolution.

This cosplay is so cute, I can’t even point out an obvious mistake in this cosplay. Do you know what it is I’m talking about?

Thanks to Enchanted Collection for sharing this!

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - ying dong as rikkuOh my gosh, wow, I can’t believe I totally missed this!

Here I was looking for some awesome cosplays and I didn’t notice Ying Dong of Sanriotown was the legendary Rikku cosplayer!

I say legendary since I’ve seen this photo a long time ago and I always wondered who this girl was! I saw this image in Ying’s Flickr Account and read this caption:

That’s me! Full set of images can be seen at http://video.sanriotown.com/engine/flaon/player?idcode=2462

That is so awesome, Ying! No wonder you love cosplays so much! You make such an awesome Rikku! I hope you do more cosplays and share them on Sanriotown!
