Bleach: Luppi

bleach cosplay - luppiPromoted to the 6th Espada when Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez lost his arm, Luppi is an arrogant Arrancar who boasts constantly in battle. He is known for saying “Sorry!” in a sarcastic manner after insulting someone and tends to note the odds against his enemies out loud. He and Ichimaru Gin appear to be in good terms, as Gin mentions he is lonely after Luppi’s death in the hands of Grimmjow.

Beautiful cosplay! I remember Luppi being quite androgynous, but I think this cosplayer’s definitely a girl. Thanks to Galimar for sending this in!

The Vision of Escaflowne: Kanzaki Hitomi

the vision of escaflowne cosplay - kanzaki hitomi

A member of her school’s track team, Kanzaki Hitomi has a strong fascination for tarot cards and fortune-telling. She received a set of tarot cards and a mysterious pendant from her grandmother when she was only a small child. Since then, her hunches and tarot readings have been unusually accurate. It was only when she meets Van Fanel and is sent to Gaea that Hitomi learns of the true origins of her pendant, and her connection to Gaea.

Cosplayer Kiryuu Tsubaki-hime (桐生椿姫) is the girl in this photo. I don’t remember what Hitomi’s pendant really looks like, but the one she’s holding looks good nonetheless! Thanks to Fumiki for sending this in!

Vampire Knight: Kuran Kaname 10

vampire knight cosplay - kuran kaname 10Revealed to be the first ancestor of the Kuran Family, Kaname was awakened from his slumber at the sacrifice of his descendents’, Haruka and Juuri’s, child. Rido murdered the baby, who ironically had the same name, with the intent of devouring their ancestor to strengthen his own powers.

Kaname was able to stop Rido’s plans temporarily, but was too badly injured and starved after several years of sleep that he knew he could go berserk at any moment. Kaname then chose to fall into Haruka and Juuri’s mercy and turn himself into a baby, a form that would not need a lot of blood in order to survive, and put his own memories to sleep so that it would not get in the way.

The second character to reach 10 different cosplay features in Cosplay Holic! I didn’t know this series was so popular, specifically this character as there have been a lot of fan bashing lately. Thanks to Blood Red Princess for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for crediting Rainer Tachibana as the cosplayer!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: America

hetalia: axis powers cosplay - america

Energetic and headstrong, America was raised by England who later fights for his own independence. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces but his ideas for solving international problems are often absurd. Unfortunately, America also tends to be oblivious to the opinion of others.

Beautiful cosplay! I love the simple yet elegant pose the cosplayer’s done with the American flag around her. Thanks to T.J. for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to ~Lsine for finding my blog and letting me know this is her cosplay!
