Bleach: Hinamori Momo 02

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

bleach cosplay - hinamori momo 02

The young and naive lieutenant of the 5th division, Hinamori Momo trusts Aizen Sosuke completely, even after his betrayal to Soul Society. No one knows exactly why Hinamori feels that way; whether she’s truly believes in him or if she was brainwashed by Aizen is left a mystery.

I think this makes a nice rival for Mei Wai’s version of Hinamori. But I like them both, anyhow. Thanks to 二叔#zukka of Flickr for sharing the photo!

Howl’s Moving Castle: Howl

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Howl, who is known by many names such as Howell Jenkins, Wizard Howl, Wizard Pendragon, Sorcerer Jenkin; is a human born in Wales of our World with magical abilities. He travels to an alternate world, specifically the country of Ingary and there becomes Mrs. Pestemmon’s last pupil. He gave up his heart to a fire demon he had caught to keep it alive in exchange for running Howl’s castle.

He also wishes to have a reputation as a wicked wizard, which seems to be difficult considering how he looks.

Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli created an animated adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones’ novel “Howl’s Moving Castle”. This was originally found on Flickr. Thanks to The Endless Waltz for sharing the photo!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: C.C.

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

lelouch of the rebellion cosplay - c.c.The immortal with the power of Geass, C.C. is a willful girl who does anything she wants regardless of what other people might think. She does, however, have one weakness: pizza, specifically from Pizza Hut. She also carries a round a stuffed toy of Pizza Hut’s mascot, “Cheese-kun”. She becomes Lelouch’s accomplice to his rebellion after he made a Geass contract with her.

I should catch up with this series, which is already on Season 2. Writing this is actually making me craze for pizza right about now; I think that’s what I’ll have for lunch. Thank you to Kelly for sending me the photo that she found on Flickr! Thank you, too, for sharing!

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.

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!

EDIT: Thanks to MelonPlay for letting me know the cosplayer’s name is Naraku from Cosplay.com!

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.

EDIT: Please welcome Itsuka, the cosplayer behind Luki! The photo would be of her and her sister, but apparently, they’re not twins. Aw~
