Black Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 03

black rock shooter cosplay - black rock shooter 03A character that was labeled as a black clad Hatsune Miku, Black Rock Shooter became her own entity on September 20, 2009. Crypton, the company that created Miku, announced that Black Rock Shooter has no relation with the Vocaloid character.

Black Rock Shooter is 15-years-old and is well known for her massive projectile weapons. The Black Canon can shoot up to 20 rocks per second, but she is also seen with a sword known as the Black Blade.

I think that’s a rather unique interpretation of the blue flame erupting from her eye. As the contributor Fernandez said, “this cosplay’s sizzling hot”!

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Aang 02

avatar: the last airbender cosplay - aang 02

Aang is a vegetarian. He refuses to eat meat because the Air Nomads taught him that all life is sacred, the same teachings in Buddhism and Taoism. He uses airbending techniques which are based on an “internal” Chinese martial art known as Baguazhang. His style focuses on circular movements and does not have many finishing moves, representing the unpredictability of air and peaceful nature of the Air Nomads.

This Aang is so cute! I wonder if he really shaved his head? And what did he use to paint the arrow on his head? Thanks to Leon for sending this in!

vocaloid 2 cosplay - kagamine rin and len by enearn and asumichan

Kabosoi higa kokoro no hashini tomoru
A slender flame burns at the edge of my heart

Itsu no manika moehirogaru netsujou
Without warning, it spreads into a burning passion

Watashi no chou fukisokuni tobimawari
My butterfly, flitting around it chaotically

Anata no teni rinpun wo tsuketa
Scales dropping into your hand

Angel Sanctuary: Rosiel

angel sanctuary cosplay - rosielOnce known to be wise, kind, and benevolent, Rosiel is the younger twin brother of Alexiel. He knew that he would turn insane some day, and asked Alexiel to kill him before this would occur. Unfortunately, her feelings for him prevented her from ending his life and so she sealed Rosiel within the earth instead.

Beautiful Rosiel! I know it wouldn’t be appropriate to call a male character “beautiful”, but I think Rosiel would appreciate that comment. Thanks to Marie for sending this in!

Soul Eater: Maka Albarn

soul eater cosplay - maka albarnMeister of the scythe Soul Eater, Maka Albarn is a dedicated student and a protégé like her mother. She does not have a good relationship with her father, Spirit, because of his constant flirtations with women which led to her parents’ divorce. Maka is therefore obsessed with turning Soul Eater into a Death Scythe that will surpass Spirit.

Although she has a good working relationship with Soul, Maka has a tendency to nag or even shout at him when he does something foolish.

Awesome cosplay! I’m not sure how accurate her shoes are, but I like them a lot! Thanks to Kessa for sending this in!

G.I. Joe: The Baroness

g.i. joe cosplay - the baroness by alodia gosiengfiao

Cobra's Intelligence Officer and lieutenant to Cobra Commander, The Baroness is a dark, sensual, femme fatale whose beauty is matched only by her ruthlessness. She has a romantic relationship with Laird James McCullen Destro XXIV, weapons manufacturer and supplier to Cobra. The Baroness’ real name is Anastasia Cisarovna aka Anastasia DeCobray who was on hand for the Tet Offensive in 1968.

Alodia Gosiengfiao makes such a convincing Baroness, even competing with Sienna Miller who played as the Baroness in the live-action movie, “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”. Thanks to Treb for sending this in!

Darkstalkers: Morrigan Aensland

darkstalkers cosplay - morrigan aensland

The adopted daughter of Belial Aensland, Morrigan was born as an extremely powerful succubus who is said to be among the “S” class. She was so strong that Belial sealed two-thirds of her power; one-third in himself which will be returned to her upon his death, and one-third in a pocket dimension, which later became its own being named Lilith. Morrigan is ignorant of this fact and thought her life in the Aensland castle dull and boring, thus frequently visiting the human world to look for entertainment.

Beautiful cosplay! Would anyone dare take this succubus’ outstretched hand? Thanks to Wendy for sending this in!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Hanyu

unknown cosplay 57 - higurashi no naku koro ni cosplay - hanyu / hanyuuI have a feeling I know who she's cosplaying as, but the name of the series escapes me.

I’m guessing she’s a demon because of those horns, but isn’t she wearing a miko’s kimono as well? Or maybe a variation of the traditional shrine maiden?

I can’t help thinking she looks a lot like Kagami from Lucky Stars though.

Guesses are greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Thanks to Sachi for commenting this is Hanyu from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni!

Bleach: Tousen Kaname

bleach cosplay - tousen kanameFormer captain of the 9th Division, Tousen Kaname has been blind since birth but is capable of using his spiritual sense to “see”. He is a pacifist, but will not hesitate to take arms in order to preserve justice. He felt that it was necessary for him to join Aizen Sosuke because he felt a sense of injustice in Soul Society’s refusal to administer capital punishment to his friend’s murderer.

Impressive cosplay! I wasn’t able to see the ending of Bleach, but I’m guessing things did not go well for Tousen judging by this cosplay? Thanks to Hammel for sending this in!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Stella Nox Fleuret

final fantasy versus 13 cosplay - stella nox fleuret

Said to be the daughter of the Fleuret Family from the country of Tenebrae, Stella Nox Fleuret is an enemy to Noctis Lucis Caelum, although her allegiances are unclear. She is ladylike and polite but is direct in her manner, acting according to her beliefs. Her weapon of choice is a rapier which she can summon from a golden rune similar to Noctis and his sword.

Breath-taking cosplay by ~RinoaMao! Fans of Final Fantasy Versus XIII might recall this very similar screenshot from the game. Great work by photographers Saikit and Henry and stylist Maria. Thanks to the cosplayer for this awesome contribution!
